November 13-15
2026
Green Valley Ranch Resort and Spa
Henderson, NV
Registration
Date: Friday, November 13 (12 p.m.) through Sunday, November 15 (12 p.m.), 2026
Location: Green Valley Ranch Casino, Resort & Spa in Henderson, NV
Registration: $795
Attention Bogleheads: Due to overwhelming demand, we've hit capacity for the 2026 Bogleheads Conference and registration is now closed. We are maintaining a waitlist, however, in case of cancellations. If you would like to be added to the waitlist and notified when there are openings, please email bogleheadsconference@bogle.center and indicate how many spots you are seeking.
As always, we’re aiming to run the conference “at cost” for attendees so that as many Bogleheads as possible can attend. We’re happy to announce that the registration fees will remain the same for the 2026 conference as they were in 2025.
Location
Why Las Vegas? We realize Las Vegas may not seem like an obvious location for a Bogleheads conference. One reason for the location selection is that there are many direct flights from all over, priced relatively reasonably compared to air fares generally. Another reason is the walkability around our venue choice, including lots of reasonably priced great dining options on- and off-site. Additionally, there's a range of nearby attractions including the Hoover Dam and natural recreation areas. Here's a sample of area attractions.
Hotel Reservations
Due to high demand, our original room block at Green Valley Ranch is now sold out, and the special conference rate is no longer available. There are still rooms available at the conference hotel; however, they can only be booked at the current market rate, which is significantly higher than the group rate.
For those who would like to explore other lodging options, we have provided a list of nearby hotels below, along with their TripAdvisor ratings.

Scholarships and Student Rate
If you would like to attend the conference but doing so would present a financial hardship, we offer a limited number of scholarships that cover conference registration. In addition, for full-time students who can provide a valid student ID, we offer a special student rate of $100 for conference registration. Both the scholarship and student rate apply to conference registration only, not travel costs or accommodations. Please contact bogleheadsconference@bogle.center to discuss either option.
