LAS VEGAS, NV (KXNT) - The coronavirus pandemic has cost Las Vegas another huge convention.

Just a week after the Consumer Electronics Show moved its convention to an online format, organizers of the Specialty Equipment Market Association Show -better known as SEMA-  said they would be taking a pass on 2020.

The annual November convention brought 160-thousand to town last year. A statement on the cancelation can be read here.

If there's good news to be taken, it's that SEMA reps say they will return to Las Vegas in 2021.
