The Home-Market Advantage
Las Vegas is the busiest trade-show city on earth — and it's where our warehouse lives. That single fact changes the math for a Vegas exhibitor: there's no cross-country freight bill, no weather risk on the road, and no multi-day transit eating your buffer. We build and inspect your booth minutes from the Strip and deliver it locally, so more of your budget goes into the booth itself instead of trucking it 2,000 miles.
Where Las Vegas Shows Happen
The Las Vegas Convention Center is the anchor — roughly 2.5 million square feet of exhibit space, including the column-free West Hall on a 200-acre campus — but the city runs shows across a cluster of halls: Mandalay Bay, the Venetian Expo, Caesars Forum and the World Market Center. Which hall you're in shapes dock access and move-in, so we confirm the venue before we schedule anything. From CES in January to the NAB Show in April to SEMA in November, the calendar barely pauses.
Union Labor on the Vegas Floor
Nevada is a right-to-work state, but the convention floor is firmly union — and Vegas is distinct in that the Teamsters (Local 631) handle a wider range of tasks here than in most cities. Installation and dismantle run through union crews, and drayage is billed by hundredweight through the official contractor (Freeman or GES depending on the show). Drayage alone can be 15–25% of a show budget, so the levers that matter are shipping to the advance warehouse, palletizing tightly and timing delivery to dodge marshaling-yard congestion — all of which we manage.

- Graphics production and local delivery to your Vegas hall
- Union-crew install and dismantle, coordinated end to end
- EAC, COI, electrical orders and drayage handled
- Hanging-sign rigging coordination and a dedicated project manager
- AV specification, sourcing and on-site setup
Pricing Reality in Las Vegas
A turnkey booth here runs from $5,400 for a 10x10 to about $84,300 for a 50x50 island. What's different from every other city on our map: freight is not your variable. The all-in number tracks drayage and union labor windows, and because we're local you skip the long-haul line item entirely — which is why Vegas pricing sits at the low end of our national range. Start with the size grid above.
Getting Around the Campus
Harry Reid International (LAS) is four to five miles from the convention center — one of the shortest airport-to-hall hops in the country. The Las Vegas Monorail stops at the LVCC, and the Vegas Loop (the underground Tesla-tunnel system) moves attendees across the campus for free, which matters when you're staffing a booth across a sprawling multi-hall show.
Booking Windows
Vegas show weeks compress everything — crews, hotels and drayage all spike at once. For CES, SEMA, NAB or CONEXPO, reserve 4–6 months out; hotel blocks for the biggest shows open even earlier. Even as your local partner, we lock union labor and target times well ahead, because the yard doesn't wait.
Common Las Vegas Mistakes
- Assuming a home-city show means you can skip advance planning — drayage and labor still run on strict windows
- Shipping direct-to-show instead of the advance warehouse and paying peak-congestion rates
- Underestimating how many staff a 200-acre campus needs to cover a booth across show hours
- Treating CES/SEMA scale like a regional show — at this size, programming beats square footage
Rent or Buy in Las Vegas?
Here the case for renting is even stronger than usual: with no freight to amortize and shows changing character week to week (tech at CES, automotive at SEMA), a rental flexes to each event without you storing and refurbishing a booth between them. Buying only starts to pencil out at five-plus shows a year on a fixed design.
