After gaining a lot of experience in a wide variety of companies, Adelson moved to Las Vegas, where he wanted to attract new audiences to the gaming city by founding a computer trade fair.

From year to year, Adelson's Interface Group continued to expand the trade fair, growing from 4,000 visitors in 1979 to 110,000 visitors in 1989.
Under Adelson's leadership, COMDEX became one of the world's largest trade fairs, taking place in over 20 countries.
