MOLINE, Ill. — The American Rental Association last month announced the schedule for The Rental Show through 2010, including Las Vegas dates in 2005 and 2008.

The most immediate major change affects The Rental Show in 2005 when it will be held in Las Vegas at the new Mandalay Bay Convention Center, which has nearly 1 million square feet of space. The 2005 show had previously been scheduled for Dallas. The Rental Show will return to Las Vegas in 2008, which had been scheduled for Anaheim, Calif.

The changes do not affect The Rental Show in 2004, which will run as scheduled in Atlanta on Feb. 26-29, 2004, at the Georgia World Congress Center.

The Rental Show will rotate through four major cities following the schedule below:

Feb. 26-29, 2004 — Atlanta
Feb. 13-16, 2005 — Las Vegas
Feb. 6-9, 2006 — Orlando
