50x50 Booth Rentals in Las Vegas: Costs, Venues, and What Ships
Las Vegas runs more conventions than any other U.S. city — over 22,000+ conventions annually across the LVCC, Mandalay Bay, Caesars Forum, the Venetian Expo, and the Sands Expo. For exhibitors at shows like CES, NAB, SEMA, HIMSS, and MAGIC, a 50x50 booth at 2500 square feet is one of the most common footprints booked. Pricing in Las Vegas typically runs $95,700–$186,600 per show on a fully turnkey basis.
Exhibit Rentals operates from a warehouse in Las Vegas — 15 minutes from LVCC. Every booth in our 50x50 inventory is fully pre-assembled and inspected on our floor before it ships to your show. Install at the venue becomes a replication exercise, not a first-time build under deadline pressure. That's the operational difference that lets us guarantee timelines that other vendors hedge against.
Is a 50x50 the Right Size for Your Show?
The 50x50 booth works best for a few specific kinds of exhibitor:
- Anchor-tenant exhibitors at flagship shows like CES, RSNA, HIMSS, IMTS, or RSA
- Tier-one product launches with significant press, analyst, and partner programs
- Pharma, automotive, defense, and enterprise tech with full compliance and multi-line needs
- Teams of 28–35+ staff across sales, demos, hospitality, press, executive briefing, and operations
Beyond a 50x50, exhibitors typically transition to fully custom construction with separate fabrication contracts, multiple build crews, and significantly extended timelines.
Working With 2500 Square Feet
Twenty-five hundred square feet supports anchor-tenant programming of full conference scale. A 50x50 typically includes a four-sided hanging sign visible from across the show, a 40+ seat theater or product-launch stage, fifteen to twenty demo stations, five to six enclosed meeting rooms (multiple sound-private), an executive briefing center, a full hospitality bar with seating for 20–30, dedicated press and analyst areas, integrated lead-capture infrastructure across the booth, dedicated tech and storage rooms, and routinely a second-floor lounge or executive-only area.
What doesn't fit: nothing meaningful. The 50x50 footprint accommodates almost any programming an exhibitor needs. Constraints at this size are budget, build timeline (typically 90+ days), and operational complexity.
Floor-Plan Choices at 50x50
A 50x50 is one of the largest standard footprints available at most U.S. shows. Layouts typically split into quadrants: customer-facing demo and theater in two quadrants, hospitality and meeting infrastructure in a third, and back-of-house operations in the fourth. Double-decker construction is common where venue ceiling height allows, and effectively doubles the usable program area.
An anchor-tenant 50x50 is operationally a small conference. Assign a dedicated booth director, document a runsheet by the hour, train staff in shift rotations, and pre-schedule executive meetings and press briefings before the show opens. The architecture is only one variable; operations is the multiplier.

What a 50x50 Costs in Las Vegas
A turnkey 50x50 trade show booth rental in Las Vegas typically falls between $95,700 and $186,600 per show. Where you land in that range comes down to materials, monitor and AV count, and how much custom architecture you add.
- $95,700–$141,200: Clean professional build with backlit fabric, standard counters, LED lighting. Right for flagship anchor-tenant programs at industry-defining shows.
- $141,200–$163,900: Adds monitor walls, upgraded lighting, additional counters, expanded meeting and executive programming. The mid-market sweet spot.
- $163,900–$186,600: Premium materials, architectural ceiling features, double-deck construction, executive briefing wing, custom architecture.
That works out to roughly $38–$75 per square foot in Las Vegas. Las Vegas pricing is at the low end of the U.S. range because our warehouse is local — no long-haul freight, no inter-state crew travel, and labor rates at most LVCC and Caesars Forum halls are lower than at coastal venues.
Getting Into Las Vegas Venues
Las Vegas falls under Teamsters Local 631 and the Stagehands union — our crew is fully credentialed for every major venue.
Because we operate locally, every install at LVCC, Mandalay Bay, Caesars Forum, or Venetian Expo runs to a tighter timeline than out-of-state competitors can offer. Same-day warehouse swap-outs are possible on graphics issues. Last-minute booth modifications are practical, not theoretical. Our crew has worked every Las Vegas show floor multiple times — they know which loading dock to use at each venue and which marshaling yard window pays off versus which costs you a day.
Where 50x50 Booths Go Wrong
At 50x50, the usual design errors cost you more. What we see at LVCC shows:
- Specifying double-deck without confirming venue clearance, load specs, and union approval timelines at least 90 days out
- Designing the booth without an assigned booth director who runs the floor as an event producer
- Underbuilding sound isolation on executive briefing rooms
- Skipping the documented runsheet — at anchor-tenant scale you cannot improvise the schedule
- Treating hospitality, press, and analyst infrastructure as parallel decoration rather than coordinated programming
Rent or Buy a 50x50?
At the 50x50 footprint, the rent-versus-buy decision is rarely about cost alone — it's about how many shows you run per year and how aggressively your brand evolves. A purchased 50x50 runs $153,000–$299,000 upfront, plus $9,500–$33,500 per show in storage, refurbishment, freight, and labor. For one to three shows a year, the rental model at $95,700–$186,600 per show wins on cash flow and design flexibility. For five or more shows with stable branding, purchase can amortize lower, but at this booth size, refurbishment cycles and the cost of looking dated mid-purchase-life are real considerations.
