AAPEX · The Venetian Expo · November

AAPEX Trade Show Booth Rentals

The buyers who move the aftermarket walk this floor once a year. Your booth gets one pass.

Fixed-price AAPEX exhibits — design, fabrication, graphics, freight, installation and dismantle in one number that doesn’t move. Pre-built, lit and photo-approved before it ships, so the booth that greets distributors at The Venetian Expo has already stood up once — during the one week a year when Las Vegas has no spare capacity for surprises.

The kind of booth AAPEX buyers stop for

AAPEX attendees are working buyers — parts manufacturers, distributors, repair-shop owners and service-chain purchasers who walk the floor with an order book, not a lanyard collection. The work below is what we build for brands whose product has to be demonstrated, handled and negotiated over: custom structures designed around the demo and the meeting, with every project moving through one team from first rendering to dismantle.

Know the floor before you plan the booth

One venue, one week — and the whole industry in town

AAPEX fills The Venetian Expo the same week SEMA fills the convention center across town — which means every truck, dock, crew and hotel room in Las Vegas is spoken for at once. The most expensive AAPEX mistake isn’t a bad booth; it’s a booth planned as if it were shipping into a quiet city.

The Venetian Expo — a resort venue

Docks, marshalling & move-in rhythm

The expo hall is attached to a working resort, and freight moves through its docks on scheduled target times, not on your truck’s schedule. Miss your window during the busiest trade-show week of the Las Vegas year and you’re re-queuing behind everyone else’s freight. We book the dock time, meet the truck and supervise the crew — your team never touches a marshalling yard.

A floor built for demos and deals

Parts walls · tool demos · meetings

AAPEX booths work harder than most: product displays that carry real inventory weight, powered stations where tools and equipment run all day, and semi-private space where distributor conversations can actually happen. A booth that only looks good in a render fails at all three. We design around what your booth has to do, then make it look the part.

The November calendar

Advance orders close ~8 weeks out

Advance-order deadlines for show services land roughly eight weeks before opening — early September, while most exhibitors are still in summer mode. File after that and everything you order is billed at floor rates. The exact deadline for the next edition is in the facts strip at the top of this page, and it updates automatically.

What we handle at AAPEX
  • Floor-specific design — sightlines planned for your actual placement
  • Layout submission and show approval, filed early
  • Electrical, rigging and material handling calculated and filed at advance rates
  • Union labour coordination and on-site supervision
  • COI, EAC and exhibitor-manual deadlines mapped to our calendar
  • Dock target times, dismantle, pack and outbound freight
Billed by the show, not by us

Booth space, electrical, drayage, rigging and cleaning are billed to every exhibitor directly by the show — no exhibit house can absorb them and none should claim to. What we do is calculate them for your exact booth before you commit, and file every order with the show’s general contractor at advance rather than floor rates.

  • Booth space
  • Electrical drops and floor distribution
  • Material handling (drayage)
  • Rigging, if you’re hanging a sign
  • Daily cleaning · internet
Why a fixed price matters most here

The budget you present in spring should survive November

Show-week Las Vegas is where exhibit-house invoices go to grow: labour hours over estimate, revisions rebilled as change orders, graphics reprints, supervision time nobody flagged. Our model is the opposite — the number you approve is the number you pay, contractually. Design revisions are unlimited until you approve. The quote and the final invoice are the same document.

01

One number, and it holds

Design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, lighting, freight, installation, dismantle and project management in a single fixed price.

02

Proven before it ships

Your booth stands fully assembled and lit at our 65,000 sq ft facility, and you approve photographs of the actual build — not a render.

03

Show costs, known up front

Space, electrical, drayage and rigging calculated for your exact booth before you commit — so the total is a number, not a range.

04

The paperwork is ours

COI, EAC, electrical, rigging, freight windows — filed at advance rates, mapped to every exhibitor-manual deadline. Nothing lands on your desk three days before it’s due.

We quote higher and cost less. That’s the whole argument, and it’s why every booth below is published with its price rather than hidden behind a “request a quote” form.

Working backwards from November

Your real deadline is in early September

The advance-order cutoff lands roughly eight weeks before the show — the exact date is in the facts strip at the top of this page, and it updates automatically each edition. For AAPEX that cutoff arrives in early September, while half the industry is still on summer schedules — which is exactly why so many exhibitors end up paying floor rates for services they knew they’d need in June.

Five questions to ask anyone quoting your AAPEX booth

Put these to every exhibit house you’re comparing — including us. They separate the vendors that stand behind a number from the ones whose estimate is an opening position. Our answers are printed here so you can hold us to them.

1 Will you put the total price in writing before I sign — and hold it? Ours: yes. Every booth on this page is published with its price. The quote and the final invoice are the same number, contractually. Printed above · hold us to it
2 Do design revisions become change orders? Ours: never. Revisions are unlimited until you approve, and the price is locked before design starts — a better idea in August costs nothing.
3 Will I see my actual booth before it ships — or a render? Ours: the actual booth, fully assembled and lit at our facility, photographed for your sign-off weeks before move-in. Renders are promises; photographs are evidence.
4 Who files my advance show orders, and at which rate? Ours: we do, at advance rates, mapped to every exhibitor-manual deadline. The AAPEX cutoff lands in early September, and the advance-versus-floor spread is real money — if a vendor can’t answer this immediately, that’s your answer.
5 How do you handle the week when SEMA and AAPEX hit Las Vegas at once? Ours: by removing our build from the scramble entirely. The booth is finished and photo-approved before it ships, freight is booked to a Venetian Expo dock target time, and install is assembly — not construction — supervised by our own team. Any vendor planning to “finish it on the floor” that week is gambling with your show. Ask them directly.

Questions AAPEX exhibitors actually ask

AAPEX booth rental FAQs

How much does an AAPEX booth rental cost?
Every booth on this page is published with its Las Vegas price — fixed and all-inclusive: design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, freight, labour coordination and project management. Separately, the show bills you directly for booth space, electrical, drayage, rigging and cleaning; we calculate those for your exact booth before you commit, so the total is known before you sign anything.
When should I book a booth for AAPEX?
Work backwards from the advance-order cutoff, which lands roughly eight weeks before the show — early September, while much of the industry is still on summer schedules. Start the conversation in late spring for full design freedom; the exact deadline for the next edition is in the facts strip at the top of this page and updates automatically.
What’s move-in like at The Venetian Expo?
Organised, but unforgiving — the hall is attached to a working resort, freight moves through its docks on scheduled target times, and it all happens during the busiest trade-show week of the Las Vegas year. We book your dock target time, route the freight, meet the truck and supervise the install crew. Your team’s job is to arrive at handover.
My booth runs live tool and equipment demos. Can you handle the power?
Yes — we design the booth around your demo stations and calculate the electrical load they actually draw, then file the power order at advance rates. Electrical itself is billed to you directly by the show, like it is for every exhibitor; what we make sure of is that the order is right, filed early, and that the drops land where your equipment needs them — not discovered wrong on move-in day.
Will a rental look custom, or will it look reused?
Every booth is fabricated for your brand — custom graphics, layout, lighting and finishes on a modular structure underneath. The builds shown above are rentals. Before yours ships, it stands fully assembled and lit at our facility and you approve photographs of the actual booth, not a render.
Can I install the booth myself to save on labour?
Las Vegas show floors run on contracted union labour, and the show’s general contractor governs who may build what. Either way it isn’t your problem to arrange: labour coordination and on-site supervision are inside our fixed price, filed at advance rather than floor rates.
What happens if something goes wrong during move-in?
Your project manager and our install supervisor are on site through move-in and reachable across show days. Because everything was assembled and checked before shipping, the problems that usually surface at this stage — missing hardware, graphics that don’t fit, panels that won’t seat — have already been found and fixed on our floor, weeks earlier.
A vendor just fell through. How fast can you deliver an AAPEX booth?
Four to six weeks from approval to show floor for complete pre-built, photo-verified booths from 10×10 through 20×40 — at the same fixed price as a six-month lead time, with no rush surcharge. The one thing a rush can’t recover is the advance-order deadline, so the same day you call us, we’re filing whatever show services can still be filed.
SEMA runs the same week. Does that affect my AAPEX plans — hotels, freight, off-floor events?
It affects everything around your booth: hotel rates spike, carriers and labour are stretched across two giant shows, and restaurants and meeting venues book out months ahead. Our answer is to take the booth off that list entirely — pre-built, freight booked early, install supervised by our team. And if you’re running events off the show floor — hotel suites, meeting spaces, satellite activations — those run under the same fixed-price model, coordinated by the same project manager as your booth. Book the rooms early; we’ll handle the rest.
