Coronavirus: Two More Las Vegas Shows Cancel

(IDEX Online) - Two more high-profile Las Vegas shows have been canceled, in response to the Covid-19 crisis.

The Couture 2020 and the Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show had both been due to take place in June.

Organizers of both events, Emerald Expositions, said in a statement that it was cancelling or postponing all planned shows through June.

Last month JCK Las Vegas, the biggest jewelry show in North America, was postponed, along with sister event Luxury 2020.  They'd been scheduled for 2 to 5 June and 31 May to 5 June respectively. No new dates have yet been announced.

The Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show is the largest trade only event serving the antique and estate jewelry and watch industry and attracts nearly 400 exhibitors.

The US coronavirus death toll today topped 5,000, with over 215,000 confirmed cases nationally.
