LAS VEGAS TRADESHOW REGULATIONS
In – line, Custom Island and Two Story Double Deck Exhibits and Rentals
In order to make your company’s Las Vegas tradeshow a successful one, there are many details that must be considered. The Las Vegas Convention Center has strict regulations in order to ensure the safety of attendees on the show floor. New exhibitors are strongly encouraged to review the Exhibitor Services Manual carefully for current rules and regulations. Trying to make sense of these many regulations can be daunting, but Image Design & Communications is here to help. Our knowledgeable staff can help you navigate these pitfalls and ensure your trade show exhibit goes off without a hitch. Our turnkey show ready exhibit rentals make it easy for you, but if you choose to set up your own display some of the more important rules to consider when planning to exhibit at a Las Vegas convention are regulations which govern booth labor, freight, rigging, and the set up of electrical equipment and lighting.
Union Labor at Las Vegas Trade Shows
The Las Vegas teamsters union (Local # 631) has exclusive jurisdiction over the erection, dismantling, and repairs to all exhibits unless the work is performed by a full time employee of the exhibiting company. Company personnel must carry company identification such as a business card or payroll stub. Freight handling is also under union jurisdiction, and teamsters are responsible for any freight handling which includes loading and unloading of trucks and handling of all machinery. An exhibitor may “hand carry” trade show material so long as handling does not require equipment. When hand carrying material an exhibitor may not be permitted access to loading dock/freight areas.
Stagehands are responsible for the installation and handling of all programmable lighting, audio visual productions and related rigging. Suspended trusses that contain dimmable or programmable lighting, studio motion picture lighting, sound system projectors, video walls, special effects equipment and laser lighting must also be installed and removed by stagehands.
Planning Electric at Trade Shows in Las Vegas
Electrical unions are responsible for all work on any areas of a trade show booth that require electricity including back lit headers, light boxes, clip on lights, plasma screens, or other AV equipment. Suspended light trusses and ground supported truss intended to distribute overhead electrical equipment is also under the jurisdiction of the electrician’s union, as well as under carpet wiring such as coaxial cable, fiber optics, and telephone. Hanging signs requiring electricity and teamster assembled signs weighing over 300 lbs (Las Vegas Convention Center) or over 200 lbs (Sands Expositon) must be installed by an electrical union representative. Non-electrical hanging signs under the weight restriction may be installed by a general contractor, but are often abandoned after the show. It is advisable to have an exhibitor employee supervise any hanging sign work to ensure the sign is repackaged at the close of the convention.
An exhibitor may plug their equipment into the one 20amp/120 VAC receptacle provided for each booth and have up to four small clip-on lights per booth. Specifically at the Las Vegas Convention Center there is a ban on certain types of halogen lamps. Halogen lamps must not be over 75 watts and need to be of the sealed variety. Suspended light trusses and ground supported truss intended to distribute overhead electrical equipment is also under the jurisdiction of the electrician’s union.
