Offensive and Forensics Cybersecurity Training on the Strip

SANS Las Vegas 2027 is a cybersecurity training event running February 22-27 at Paris Las Vegas, in-person and online. Courses cover incident handling, web application and advanced penetration testing, smartphone forensics, threat detection, and incident leadership, most leading to a GIAC certification exam.

Courses Designed to Build Specialized Skills

This lineup leans offensive and investigative. Penetration testers can move from web applications in Web App Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking to exploit writing in Advanced Penetration Testing, Exploit Writing, and Ethical Hacking. Investigators can work from enterprise incident response through smartphone evidence. Threat detection and breach management courses run the same week, so a tester, a forensic examiner, and the manager who leads the response can attend together.

Classrooms and SANS guest rooms are in the Versailles Tower at Paris Las Vegas, which connects to the main casino by a sky bridge. SANS recommends checking in at the Horseshoe Las Vegas front desk next door.

Course Highlights

  • Write exploits against real vulnerabilities in Advanced Penetration Testing, Exploit Writing, and Ethical Hacking.
  • Extract evidence from mobile devices in Smartphone Forensic Analysis In-Depth.
  • Lead an organization through an active breach in Cyber Incident Management.

Why Book Through SANS?

  • Special Rates

    When comparing hotel rates, the lowest advertised price isn't always the best deal. Our specially negotiated SANS group rate includes benefits that third-party sites and competitor rates simply don't offer.

  • Discounted Resort Fee and Flexible Cancellation

    The SANS room block locks in a reduced resort fee of just $40/night—saving you $15 compared to booking on your own. Our group rate comes with a flexible cancellation policy so you can book with confidence, without the risk that comes with many prepaid or non-refundable third-party rates.

  • Do The Math Before You Book Elsewhere

    A seemingly lower rate on a booking site may not include parking, could carry a daily resort fee, and may lock you into a non-refundable reservation. When you factor in those costs, the SANS group rate is frequently the smarter—and more affordable—choice. Book early—the group block is available for a limited time and rooms fill up fast.
