The whole number for the LVCC — what the show bills you, what the venue bills you, and a fixed price for the booth itself.
NAB budgets break differently from most Las Vegas shows. Material handling is a flat rate per square foot, so weight is not where the surprises come from — power, network and rigging for a demo-heavy booth are. This tool estimates every line for your footprint, at advance and floor rates where they apply, beside the fixed, all-inclusive booth price we publish for Las Vegas. Adjust any assumption you have better numbers for.
Space and material-handling rates default to NAB’s most recently published rate card; electrical, internet, rigging and cleaning are planning estimates from typical Las Vegas billing and the assumptions above. The exhibitor services kit for the current edition governs. Material handling is paid up front with the space, so it carries no floor-rate penalty; advance-warehouse storage and third-party shipments are billed separately and are not included. Booth prices are the published Las Vegas range for that footprint on the Las Vegas booth rentals page; the fixed price of a specific design is exact and does not change.
See 20×20 booths with NAB pricesElectrical, internet and rigging each carry two prices. That line is the cost of a layout change after the order is filed, or an equipment list that arrives late. It is the most avoidable money in an NAB budget.
Because dock-to-booth handling is billed on space rather than weight, heavier display hardware costs nothing extra to bring through the dock. It still costs carrier freight, labour hours and install time, and none of those are flat.
Most NAB booths run hardware that should not be power-cycled every night. Overnight power is billed as a premium on the circuits that need it, so it belongs in the plan from the first floor plan, not as a request on move-in day.
We quote higher and cost less. An exhibit house that leaves the show-billed lines out of the conversation is not quoting the show — it is quoting the booth. The number to compare is the total.
