ANNOUNCES THE ADDITION OF THE

"LAS VEGAS WINTER SHOW AT THE MIRAGE"

WINTER SHOW DATES ARE JANUARY 25 - 27, 2009

G.L.D.A., INC. promoters of the hugely successful "Las Vegas Gem & Jewelry Show" held for the past 9 years at the Mirage Hotel Resort in late May and the "Tucson Gem & Jewelry Show" held for the past 30 years in early February in Tucson Arizona is pleased to announce the addition of its "WINTER SHOW" to be held at "The Mirage Hotel & Resort" in late January starting in 2009 and going forward.

The "WINTER SHOW" is designed to facilitate both buyers and exhibitors who wish to visit one show location or both during this very important buying period.  The two shows, Las Vegas and Tucson, will be held only one week apart allowing both buyers and exhibitors the flexibility of attending both shows if they wish or only one if that is all their time or scheduling will allow.  We have many buyers and approximately 50% of our exhibitors who come from overseas.  Giving them the ability to attend two great shows in a short period of time will save them time and a great deal of expense by being able to get all their business done in a short period of time in only one trip.

"The decision of the JA New York Winter Show to change their show dates from late January to March starting in 2008 made our decision to start a winter show in Las Vegas a very easy one" stated G.L.D.A., INC. President Tanna Wyatt.  The New York Show has had the time slot tied up for many years and both exhibitors and buyers have attended JA New York's Winter show on a regular basis.  Our goal is to fill a much needed slot with a REALLY EXCITING INTERNATIONAL VENUE where buyers can find the merchandise they want at the most competitive prices.  Las Vegas offers super convention facilities, easy reasonable airfares and room rates as well as great weather and a multitude of food and entertainment options to choose from.   This is a can't miss opportunity and a WIN WIN for everyone in the industry.

"We are very excited about this great opportunity and will do everything in our power to insure success of this great event" stated G.L.D.A. Marketing Director Paul Page.
