This wasn't the first event to be canceled this spring in Las Vegas due to coronavirus. Last week, the United States postponed a meeting of leaders of southeast Asian nations that was set for Las Vegas in mid-March due to the spread of the coronavirus.

With no confirmed cases in Nevada as of March 2, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority said no conventions set for the Convention Center have been canceled.
