Arrival Recommendations

The Grand Event Center is indoors, so weather is typically not a factor.

If you’re using rideshare, set your dropoff at the resort’s main entrance and follow on-site signage to the event center.

Driving from Houston or elsewhere in the region? Aim to arrive earlier on weekends or holidays to account for traffic near the resort corridor. If you’re dining on-site — especially at popular spots like the steakhouses — consider reserving a table so your pre-show plans run smoothly.
