Know the floor before you plan the booth

The NGA Show is a hotel show. Plan like one.

The NGA Show runs inside the MGM Grand Conference Center — a hotel venue, not a sprawling convention hall. That changes the design brief, the freight plan and the calendar. The most expensive NGA mistake isn’t a bad booth; it’s a booth planned as if it were shipping to a convention center with endless docks and forgiving move-in windows.

A ballroom, not a hangar

MGM Grand Conference Center

Ballroom-style exhibit space means lower ceilings, shorter sightlines and warmer light than a convention hall. Scale wins nothing here — a booth that reads clearly across one aisle beats one designed to be seen from four hundred feet. We design for the room your booth will actually stand in, not for a render on a white background.

Hotel docks, hotel rules

Tighter freight windows

A hotel venue has hotel loading docks — fewer of them, shared with the property, on scheduled target times. Freight windows are tighter and less forgiving than at a purpose-built hall, and a missed slot ripples through your whole install. We book dock targets early and build the install plan around them, not the other way round.

Retailer conversations, not foot-traffic theatre

Compact floor · product sampling

NGA is a compact show where independent grocers and wholesalers come to talk, taste and decide. The winning booth is engineered for the sampling line and the sit-down — product forward, a place to pour or plate, and somewhere semi-private to work a category review. We build for that rhythm, not for badge-scan volume.

What we handle at the NGA Show
  • Venue-specific design — scaled and lit for a ballroom floor
  • Layout submission and show approval, filed early
  • Electrical, material handling and rigging orders filed with the show’s general contractor at advance rates
  • Labour coordination and on-site supervision
  • COI, EAC and exhibitor-manual deadlines mapped to our calendar
  • Hotel 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 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 the fall should survive show week

Independent grocery runs on margins the exhibit industry loves to ignore: 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 show week

Your real deadline is in early December

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 a show that opens at the end of January, that cutoff sits in early December, which means your decisions have to clear before the holidays slow everything to half-speed.

Take this to every vendor

Five questions to ask anyone quoting your NGA Show 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 November 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 before it ships. 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. At a hotel venue with tight freight windows the advance-versus-floor spread is real money — if a vendor can’t answer this immediately, that’s your answer.
5 What happens to my timeline over the holidays? Ours: nothing — because your advance orders are filed and your design is locked before the break, and the booth is built and photo-approved before it ships. Any vendor still improvising in January is gambling with your show. Ask them directly.

Questions NGA exhibitors actually ask

NGA Show booth rental FAQs

How much does an NGA Show 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 the NGA Show?
Work backwards from the advance-order cutoff, which lands roughly eight weeks before the show — for a show that opens at the end of January, that’s early December, and the exact date is in the facts strip at the top of this page. Start the conversation in late summer or early fall for full design freedom, so every decision clears before the holidays slow production everywhere to half-speed.
The NGA Show is at the MGM Grand, not a convention center — does that change anything?
Operationally, plenty: the MGM Grand Conference Center is a hotel venue with hotel loading docks, scheduled dock target times and tighter freight windows than a purpose-built hall. Design-wise too — ballroom ceilings and shorter sightlines reward a booth that reads across an aisle, not across a hangar. We plan freight, labour and design for the actual building, and book dock targets early so your install isn’t waiting on a shared dock.
I’m sampling product. Can you handle refrigeration, power and prep space?
Yes — sampling is half the point of NGA, and we design the booth around it: counters at pouring height, cold storage placed where staff can reach it, sinks or prep space where the layout allows. The electrical drops and any refrigeration power are ordered through the show — billed to you directly like every exhibitor’s — but we spec the exact load, calculate the cost up front and file the order at advance rates so nothing about your sampling line is improvised on site.
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?
The show floor runs on contracted 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. At a hotel venue with tight dock windows, that pre-check matters twice as much.
A vendor just fell through. How fast can you deliver an NGA Show 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. For a show at the end of January specifically, the earlier in the fall you call, the more of that window sits outside the holidays.
Do you handle events off the show floor — suites, dinners, off-site tastings?
Yes — hotel suites, meeting spaces, hosted dinners and satellite activations around the show run under the same fixed-price model, coordinated by the same project manager as your booth. At a hotel show like NGA, where half the real business happens off the floor, that’s often where the programme is won.
