Escape into the scenic backdrop of iconic red rock while attending an unforgettable conference. Location is everything and SUU’s is hard to beat. The 130-acre campus is in the heart of Cedar City\, which sits about halfway between Salt Lake City and Las Vegas on I-15 and is within a 5-hour drive of over 20 national parks and monuments in Utah\, Arizona\, and Nevada. \nLEARN MORE AT VISIT CEDAR CITY  \n \nThe closest airports are in Cedar City\, St. George\, Salt Lake City\, and Las Vegas. Shuttles are available from the Salt Lake and Las Vegas airports (St. George Shuttle  and  Salt Lake  Express) to Cedar City; however\, only the St. George Shuttle picks up and drops off the SUU America First Event Center.  Flixbus  may also be an option from Las Vegas. Taxi services and rental car companies are a good option for ground transportation\, especially if you plan to add extra days and excursions to your trip. We will offer transport to and from the Cedar City airport and any of the shuttle/bus drop off locations in Cedar City. \n\nFlying \nThere are daily flights between Cedar City Regional (CDC) and Salt Lake City International (SLC) airports. Many people also choose to fly into McCarran International (LAS) and make the 3-hour drive from Las Vegas to Cedar City in a rental car. (Keep in mind there is a one hour time zone difference).  St. George Regional (SGU) is another local airport located about 40 miles south of Cedar City that often offers better rates and more flights than CDC. There are lots of options\, and you just have to shop around for the one that best fits you. \n\nDriving & Parking \nBeing right off the interstate makes getting to SUU easy.  Campus is a 3-hour drive north from Las Vegas or a 4-hour drive south from Salt Lake City. If you’re coming from the east\, the campus is  just 75 miles south of the I-15 / I-70 junction.  \nCedar City does not have metered parking or parking garages. You simply park wherever you find a spot. Campus and Parking Map \nParticipants will need to secure their own lodging.
