CES Custom Trade Show Booths and Rentals in Las Vegas

Every January, the tech world takes over Las Vegas for CES. Booths spread across the convention center, the Venetian Expo, and a few hotels in between. We build custom exhibits and turnkey rentals for the show from our Las Vegas shop, and our own crews handle install and dismantle. Working on a CES project? Give our Vegas team a call.

Where Gadgets Go to Show Off

Robot vacuums. Self-driving shuttles. A fridge that texts you when the milk runs low. If it plugs in or charges up, someone is launching it at CES.

The crowd is huge, and it moves fast. Buyers, press, investors, and engineers have a lot of ground to cover and not much time. Will they stop, or keep walking?

A lot of that comes down to the build. Big ideas need a booth that can keep up with them.

One Show, Several Buildings

This show doesn't fit under one roof. The main halls fill the Las Vegas Convention Center, also called Tech East. Startups in Eureka Park and many other exhibits set up at the Venetian Expo, part of Tech West.

The LVCC alone has West, North, Central, and South halls. Each has its own floor managers, freight routes, and move-out times.

So which hall is the booth in? That one detail shapes the whole plan, from truck timing to how the crew gets through the door.

What a CES Booth Needs

A booth at this show has to do a lot of jobs at once. It needs to grab attention, run demos all day, and still leave room for real conversations. These are the pieces we plan around first.

  • Height and light. Halls this size swallow small graphics. Tall structures, hanging signs, and lightboxes help a booth stand out from three aisles over.
  • Demo stations that last. Live demos need power, data, and counters that survive thousands of curious hands. We plan cable runs and access panels into every kiosk, so a tech can swap a cord without taking anything apart.
  • Room for press and meetings. Media and buyers show up with packed schedules. A quiet meeting room or a clean spot for an on-camera interview gives those talks somewhere to land.
  • Crowd flow. Some aisles feel like the Strip at midnight. Open corners and wide entry points pull people in instead of leaving them bunched up outside.

Show Rules That Shape the Schedule

The show runs a tight ship. Outside crews register as exhibitor-appointed contractors and wear daily wristbands and photo badges in the halls.

Freight moves out on a targeted schedule based on booth location. Hanging signs need rigging approval, and aisles have to be fully clear before the carpet goes down.

Our Las Vegas crews work both buildings all year. Badges, wristbands, and move-out windows are familiar territory.

How We Support the Build

In the shop. We handle custom fabrication in our 35,000 square foot Las Vegas facility. That includes walls, counters, kiosks, lightboxes, modular frames, SEG fabric graphics, and flooring.

At the show. Our certified labor crews install and dismantle. One project manager stays on the job from the first call to the last crate.

On the road. We run controlled transportation and local deliveries, which helps a lot when a show spans more than one building.

Beyond the booth. Planning a hotel suite or private event during the week? Our brand activation team builds those too.

Buy the Look or Borrow It?

Custom builds and rentals both show up all over CES. The right fit depends on the budget, how often the booth travels, and how unique it needs to look.

  • Custom: built from scratch around a rendering, owned after the show, and ready for the next one
  • Rental: proven structures with custom graphics, returned to us when the show ends, with nothing to store
  • Hybrid: a rental shell with a custom centerpiece, like a demo wall or a branded reception counter

Sizes run from 10x10 and 10x20 inlines to 20x20 islands, 30x30s, and well beyond. At this show, bigger is never in short supply.

Our Process, Start to Finish

It starts with the basics. Send the rendering, scope, budget, hall, and install, show, and dismantle dates. A project manager gets back to you by the end of the next business day.

Estimates usually take 3 to 5 days, depending on size. Approval comes at least 30 days before the ship date, and final artwork follows 21 days before ship.

Then we build, ship, and install. When the show closes, we pack it up and clear the hall on schedule.

Questions We Hear a Lot

Where is CES held?

Across Las Vegas, mainly at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Venetian Expo, with more space in nearby hotels. It happens every January, usually early in the month.

Can you work in more than one CES venue?

Yes. Our crews and trucks cover the LVCC, the Venetian Expo, and hotel venues around town. Splitting a project across buildings is pretty normal during this week.

Do you build hanging signs?

Yes. We fabricate them in our Las Vegas shop. The rigging approval step goes into the project plan early, so the sign goes up on schedule.

Can we rent a booth instead of building one?

Yes. Turnkey rentals come in sizes from 10x10 up to large islands, finished with custom graphics. Custom pieces can be added to a rental, too.

What do you need to quote a CES project?

A rendering, scope, budget, hall location, and show dates. Missing a piece? Send what you have, and we'll sort out the rest.

What about events in Florida or Atlanta?

Our 30,000 square foot Orlando shop covers those. Same process, just a different zip code.

I just wanted to thank you and everyone at CrewXP for another outstanding show! Both at AUSA and ITSEC, you went above and beyond to make sure all was in line and my clients were happy.
