South Point Hotel, Las VegasLAS VEGAS - Attendees will be greeted by a new and improved floor plan at the ToyFest West, 2013, which will be held at the South Point Hotel in Las Vegas, March 10-13, 2013.

Formerly known as the Western States Toy & Hobby Show (WTHRA), the new ToyFest West location will help assure easy, direct access to hundreds of manufacturers and more than 3,000 of their new products.

"Our venue continues to evolve each year, and we anticipate a 30 percent growth in 2013," said Bill St. John, president, WTHRA Board. "We know that our attendees will surely feel the fun next year as they also enjoy Las Vegas, a more regionally attractive destination with great spas, casinos, restaurants and shows. Frankly, Las Vegas just makes good business sense during these economic times. Add that our host, South Point, is offering an unprecedented hotel room incentive that gives Monday 3/11 FREE to the first 300 guests that book 3/9 & 3/10 with them and you simply can't beat this deal!"

ToyFest West is the country's oldest regional toy trade show, spanning more than 40 years. The show offers a "playground" of buying activity, allowing attendees gather in a familiar, relaxed and friendly environment. ToyFest West will again host the annual Gala Event, which celebrates industry colleagues who have been inducted to the WTHRA Hall of Fame. This year, WTHRA congratulates the 2013 Retailer of the Year, Geppetto's, located in La Jolla, California.
