The Miami Gun Show publishes one number to the dollar before an exhibitor arrives. Florida Gun Shows lists standard 8 foot tables at $130 for an aisle position and $140 for a wall position, and states that wall tables are not guaranteed. Admission is $17 at the door. The bed is the one line in the budget the promoter leaves open.
The show, the address and the clock
The show runs Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November 2026 at the Miami Dade Fairgrounds and Exposition, 10901 SW 24th Street, Miami, Florida 33165. Floor hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Two badges come with the first table and one with each additional table. The promoter states that it provides a 24 hour armed and licensed security force from Friday setup through Sunday teardown.
The promoter's home page, Miami event page, exhibitor information page and FAQ carry no hotel line, no block code and no rate. Table cost, travel and badge count are settled before an exhibitor speaks to a property.
The setup window that sets the night count
Setup runs Friday from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 8.30 a.m. Vendors must work both days. An exhibitor who sets up on Saturday morning buys Saturday night and leaves on Sunday. An exhibitor who sets up on Friday afternoon buys two nights.
The Saturday window is 90 minutes long. It moves one room night, and it is the largest line on the trip that the exhibitor controls. Settle that call before calling a hotel.
What a peak Saturday does to the argument
The hotelhaggle negotiation page states that shoulder nights from Sunday to Thursday run 20 to 30 percent below peak nights. Saturday 7 November is a peak night, and the page carries no offset for it. A single weekend night with a Sunday departure leaves the ceiling as the working tool.
The asks that move the total
Ask for parking for one vehicle for the full stay, including the hours after checkout. The promoter's pages carry no parking rate, so that cost stays open until arrival.
Ask the property to hold bags and the vehicle past checkout on Sunday. Standard checkout falls at 11 a.m. or 12 p.m. and the floor runs to 5 p.m. Baggage storage and parking through 5 p.m. cover the gap a late checkout cannot.
Ask for the cancellation term and its deadline in writing. A single weekend night is an easy room for a property to resell.
The ceiling, written before the search
Set the ceiling first: one night of room plus parking at or below the price of the table behind you, $130 for an aisle and $140 for a wall. That side of the ledger is published. When the bed costs more than the table, either move outward to a cheaper property or take the Saturday setup and drop the second night.
No source on this row publishes a room rate for 7 November. Set the ceiling and let the properties answer it.
Where the rooms are
OpenStreetMap records ten lodging properties within three miles of the fairgrounds address and none inside one mile, read on 18 October 2026. Comfort Suites Miami Kendall is the nearest named property at 1.22 miles. Then Courtyard Miami at Dolphin Mall at 2.57 miles, Marriott on Southwest 8th Street at 2.67, Hilton Garden Inn at 2.87, Holiday Inn Express Doral at 2.90 and NUVO Suites at 2.93.
No property sits within walking distance of the gate, so every exhibitor drives. Compare two rooms on the loaded number, room plus overnight parking.
The Florida restriction on the booking route
The hotelhaggle seller-of-travel page, last updated 18 October 2026, states that it cannot process hotel booking requests from residents of or for travel to Florida, Hawaii, Iowa and Washington. Florida law requires sellers of travel to register with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and the page states that no Florida registration is in place. The page applies the restriction across grouprooms.org, hotelhaggle.org, hotelslots.org, bookmyteam.org and partners.hotelhuddle.com.
Get the current rule in writing before placing a Miami stay with any name-your-price channel. A direct call that opens with the $130 figure is the route that stays open.
