Shoptalk Trade Show Booth Rentals

Every retail decision-maker you want is here. Your booth has one lap of the floor to earn the second visit.

Fixed-price Shoptalk 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 what stands up at Mandalay Bay has already stood up once.

Know the floor before you plan the booth

Shoptalk isn’t browsed. It’s scheduled.

Shoptalk fills Mandalay Bay Convention Center with the people who run retail — merchants, brands, marketplaces and the technology companies courting them — and much of the floor’s traffic moves on pre-arranged meetings, not aimless wandering. A booth here has two jobs at once: stop the walker between sessions, and give the scheduled meeting somewhere worth sitting down. Design for only one of those and you’ve paid for half a booth.

Mandalay Bay — one venue, real logistics

South end of the Strip

Everything happens under one roof — exhibit halls, stages and meeting programme — which simplifies your footprint but concentrates everyone’s freight into the same docks and the same move-in windows. Targeted dock times, marshalling and venue rules decide whether your install is calm or chaotic. We plan freight and labour to Mandalay Bay’s actual schedule, not the show’s mailing address.

The floor’s reality

Buyers, brands & investors

This is a decision-maker crowd on a tight agenda between keynotes and curated meetings. The winning booth reads in one glance — what you do for a retailer, provable in a two-minute demo — and has a place to hold the conversation that follows. We design for that rhythm: open demo front, meeting space behind it.

The spring stack-up

Advance deadlines land in January

A March show means your advance-order deadlines land in late January, while your team is still closing out the new-year rush — and spring show season stacks freight and labour demand across every Las Vegas venue at once. The exact advance-order date is in the facts strip at the top of this page. Miss it and you’re paying floor rates for everything.

What we handle at Shoptalk
  • Design planned for your actual placement and sightlines
  • Layout submission and show approval, filed early
  • Electrical, rigging and material handling orders 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, cleaning and internet are billed to every exhibitor directly by the show and venue — 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 March

Trade show invoices grow in the gap between the estimate and the show: 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 March

Your real deadline is in late January

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 March show that puts the binding decisions in late January, when your team is still digging out of the new year. Everything upstream of that date is design freedom; everything downstream is floor rates and compromises.

Take this to every vendor

Five questions to ask anyone quoting your Shoptalk 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 December 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 to Mandalay Bay. 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 advance-versus-floor spread on drayage, electrical and rigging is real money — if a vendor can’t answer this immediately, that’s your answer.
5 What happens to my timeline if the January deadlines slip? Ours: they don’t slip, because they’re on our calendar, not yours — advance orders filed in January, booth built and photo-approved before it ships. Any vendor still fabricating during move-in week is gambling with your show. Ask them directly.

Questions Shoptalk exhibitors actually ask

Shoptalk booth rental FAQs

How much does a Shoptalk booth rental cost?
Every booth on this page is published with its Las Vegas price — fixed and covering design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, freight, installation and dismantle, and project management. Separately, the show and venue bill you directly for booth space, electrical, drayage, rigging, cleaning and internet; 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 Shoptalk?
Work backwards from the advance-order cutoff, which lands roughly eight weeks before the show — the exact date for the next edition is in the facts strip at the top of this page and updates automatically. For a March show that means late January, so the comfortable start is the preceding fall: full design freedom, graphics finished before the holidays, and every order filed at advance rates.
What’s different about exhibiting at Mandalay Bay Convention Center?
Everything is under one roof — halls, stages, meetings and the hotel itself — which is convenient for your team but concentrates every exhibitor’s freight into the same docks and move-in windows. Targeted dock times and marshalling rules decide how smooth your install is. We book the freight window and dock target time for your booth and supervise the crew on site, so the venue’s logistics are our problem, not yours.
Shoptalk runs on scheduled meetings. Should that change my booth design?
Yes — it’s the single biggest design input. A booth here needs an open, glanceable front that stops attendees moving between sessions, and genuine meeting space for the conversations that were booked weeks in advance. We plan the demo zone and the sit-down space as one layout, sized to how many concurrent meetings your team actually runs.
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 65,000 sq ft 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 rules govern who may build what. Either way it isn’t your problem to arrange: labour coordination and on-site supervision are inside our fixed price, and the show-side orders are 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 a Shoptalk 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 earlier in the new year you call, the more of the show’s advance-rate window we can still catch for you.
Do you handle events off the show floor — suites, dinners, activations?
Yes — hotel suites, meeting spaces and satellite activations around the show run under the same fixed-price model, coordinated by the same project manager as your booth. At Mandalay Bay, where the hotel and the halls share an address, a suite programme is a natural extension of the booth.
