Las Vegas Union Labor Rules — A Field Guide for Exhibitors
Navigating the complex web of Teamster, Carpenter, and IBEW jurisdictions can be the difference between a seamless setup and thousands of dollars in unexpected “floor rate” charges. This guide breaks down the updated 2026 regulations for the LVCC and Venetian Expo, clearly defining your “Exhibitor Bill of Rights” — what you can legally do yourself versus where a union professional is required. Learn how to navigate the “Red Zones,” manage labor windows effectively, and ensure your EAC paperwork is filed correctly to avoid the common pitfalls that catch even the most seasoned exhibitors off guard.
Double-Deck Exhibit Safety & Engineering
A multi-level exhibit is more than just a design statement; it is a complex piece of architecture subject to rigorous engineering standards and fire safety codes. This technical guide explores the essential physics of “live load” versus “dead load” requirements, ensuring your structure can safely support high-density crowds. We dive deep into critical life-safety compliance, including the “Nevada Wet Stamp” engineering requirements, emergency egress math, and the specific fire suppression rules mandated by the Las Vegas Fire Marshal. From guardrail “sphere tests” to structural vibration management, this resource ensures your vertical presence is as safe as it is striking.
