What to Look for When Hiring Exhibit Labor in Las Vegas

You have one shot to make your booth work on the show floor. The wrong labor crew costs you time, money, and sometimes the whole exhibit.

Here is what separates a reliable I&D crew from a liability.

1. Local Las Vegas Experience

Las Vegas is the world's largest trade show market. The venues have specific rules, loading dock logistics, and union jurisdictions that an out-of-town crew will not know. A crew that has worked the LVCC, Mandalay Bay, and Wynn regularly moves faster and avoids costly mistakes.

2. Union Compliance Knowledge

Some halls require union labor. Others allow exhibitor-appointed contractors (EACs). A crew that does not know the difference will cost you in fines or forced re-work. Ask specifically: "Are you familiar with union jurisdictions at this venue?"

3. Crew Certification for Rigging

If your exhibit includes hanging signs or overhead structures, your crew needs certified riggers. This is not optional. It is a venue safety requirement. Verify certifications before the job.

4. Pre-Show Communication

A professional crew does not show up and wing it. They review your booth drawings, understand your schedule, and confirm logistics 48 hours before move-in. If a potential crew cannot tell you their pre-show process, walk away.

5. Track Record

Ask for references from shows in the past 12 months. A crew with 200+ completed shows and 16 years in business has seen everything. A crew that started last year has not.
