SLATS Trade Show Booth Rentals

Buyers walk SLATS with open-to-buy budgets and a pen. Your booth decides whether they stop.

Fixed-price SLATS 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 your product line gets judged in has already stood up once.

Know the floor before you plan the booth

SLATS is a buying floor. Design for the order pad.

SLATS is the sports licensing, tailgate and team-merchandise industry’s annual show, and it behaves like the trade floor it is: retail and licensing buyers working category aisles on a schedule, appointments stacked through the day, and orders written at the table before the buyer moves on. A booth that photographs well but can’t hold product, host a meeting and restock between appointments is the wrong booth for this show.

LVCC — big-building logistics

Marshalling yard · dock targets · union labour

The Las Vegas Convention Center runs on freight discipline: carriers check in at the marshalling yard, drayage is billed by the hundredweight, and union crews handle the install under the show’s general contractor. None of that is a problem if it’s planned — it’s only expensive when it’s improvised. We book the freight window and dock target time to your actual move-in slot and supervise the crew on site.

A product-first floor

Display density wins here

SLATS booths are working showrooms — apparel walls, headwear displays, drinkware shelving, tailgate gear set up the way it sells. That changes the engineering: shelving that carries real weight, lighting aimed at merchandise rather than signage, lockable storage for samples, and a table where the order actually gets written. We design the display plan and the meeting space as one layout, not two competing ones.

The January calendar

Holidays sit inside your timeline

Advance orders close roughly eight weeks before the show — late November, with the exact date in the facts strip at the top of this page. Approvals and graphics therefore land across the holidays, when production everywhere runs half-speed. And SLATS runs the same week as other major January shows in Las Vegas, so freight lanes, hotels and labour book early. The real deadline for a locked design is late November; miss it and you’re paying floor rates for everything.

What we handle at SLATS
  • Aisle-facing design — product sightlines planned for your actual placement
  • Layout submission and show approval, filed early with the show’s general contractor
  • Electrical, rigging and material handling calculated and filed at advance rates
  • Union labour coordination and on-site supervision through move-in
  • Display engineering — shelving loads, apparel walls, sample storage, merchandise lighting
  • 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 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 January

A January Vegas show 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 late January

Your real deadline is in November

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 SLATS that puts the binding constraint in late November, with the December holidays sitting directly inside your production window and the rest of the January Vegas calendar competing for the same freight lanes and labour.

Five questions to ask anyone quoting your SLATS 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 display plan in October 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 the holidays. 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 January Las Vegas show 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 booth is built and photo-approved before mid-December. Any vendor still fabricating between Christmas and New Year is gambling with your show. Ask them directly.

Questions SLATS exhibitors actually ask

SLATS booth rental FAQs

How much does a SLATS 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 and file every order at advance rates, so the total is known before you sign anything.
When should I book a booth for SLATS?
Lock your design by late November — advance orders close roughly eight weeks before the show, and the exact deadline for the next edition is in the facts strip at the top of this page, updating automatically. SLATS opens the year, so graphics and approvals land across the holidays, when production everywhere runs half-speed. Start the conversation in summer or early fall for full design freedom.
What should I know about moving into the Las Vegas Convention Center?
The LVCC runs on freight discipline: carriers check in at the marshalling yard, drayage is billed by weight, dock access runs on targeted times, and union crews handle the install under the show’s general contractor. We book your freight window and dock target to your actual move-in slot and supervise the crew on site. One SLATS-specific note: it runs the same week as other major January shows in Las Vegas, so freight lanes and labour book early — another reason the advance deadlines matter.
Can the booth carry real product — apparel walls, shelving, headwear displays?
Yes, and at SLATS it should. We engineer the display plan into the structure: shelving rated for real merchandise weight, apparel and headwear walls, drinkware and tailgate-gear displays, lighting aimed at product rather than signage, and lockable storage for samples and restock. The display plan and the buyer-meeting space are designed as one layout, and all of it stands assembled at our facility for your photo approval before it ships.
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 Convention Center 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 a SLATS 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 January show 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, activations, buyer dinners?
Yes — hotel suites, meeting spaces, showroom setups and satellite activations around the show run under the same fixed-price model, coordinated by the same project manager as your booth.
