The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), which owns and operates the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), has welcomed two new explosive-detection K-9s to its K-9 unit: Olaf, a yellow Labrador Retriever, and Mufasa, a black Labrador Retriever.
The LVCVA is committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for show organizers, convention attendees, and employees at the convention center. The K-9 unit includes four K-9s, each paired with a dedicated K-9 officer, and is part of a larger security department comprised of approximately 70 full-time security officers. The K-9 unit adds an extra layer of security across the LVCC’s 200-acre campus. Olaf and Mufasa will replace K-9s Bo and Wells, both black Labrador Retrievers, following their retirement in November.
One of the world’s premier convention centers, the 4.6 million-square-foot LVCC hosts some of the largest and most significant trade shows, including CES, CONEXPO-CON/AGG, and SEMA Show. The facility is on pace to host 45 trade shows and upwards of 1.21 million trade show attendees in 2026.
