TESTIMONIALS

Exhibiting once a year? Renting usually wins. At two or more shows a year, buying starts paying for itself. JET The Agency does both: rental booth programs with custom graphics for tight timelines, and custom builds we fabricate in our own Las Vegas shop. We’ll run the numbers for your actual show schedule and tell you which one wins.

The booth itself is only part of your total show spend. Drayage, show labor, electrical, rigging, and freight make up the rest, and they hit hardest when nobody warned you. JET The Agency builds these line items into your estimate up front, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

Per event. The standard in Las Vegas is one price for the run of your show or event, typically up to about a week, not a daily rate. JET The Agency prices rentals the same way: one quote covering delivery, the full run of your event, and pickup, so a three-day show doesn’t cost three times more than a one-day event.

Drayage is the show contractor’s fee for moving your freight from the loading dock to your booth and back. It catches first-time exhibitors off guard more than any other line item, and you can’t skip it at major venues. JET The Agency designs booths and crates to ship efficiently and plans freight around the show’s deadlines, which directly cuts the bill.

Scale and rules. Las Vegas runs the country’s biggest show calendar, so labor, hotels, and services book out earlier. Every major venue operates under union jurisdictions, and general contractors run advance warehouses that make early shipping cheaper and safer here than in most cities. JET The Agency is headquartered in Las Vegas, so this is our home field.

The advance warehouse is the general contractor’s facility that receives your freight weeks before move-in, then delivers it to your booth on schedule. In Las Vegas it’s usually the smart play: delivery windows are more reliable and you stop sweating a late truck. JET The Agency manages advance shipments for clients as standard practice.

For certain work, yes. At the Las Vegas Convention Center, Mandalay Bay, and the Venetian Expo, union crews handle freight, electrical, and rigging, billed at rates set by each venue’s labor contracts. JET The Agency supervises union crews on the floor, so the work passes inspection and your team stays off the penalty list.

An EAC is an outside contractor you hire to build and service your booth instead of the show’s general contractor. You file an EAC form with show management by their deadline, and your contractor provides insurance certificates. JET The Agency works as an EAC at shows nationwide and handles that paperwork as part of the job.

The GSC is the show’s official contractor, the company behind drayage, aisle carpet, signage, and the exhibitor kit. Think Freeman or GES. You’ll work with them whether you want to or not. JET The Agency deals with the GSC for you: orders, deadlines, dock schedules, and the disputes when a charge doesn’t look right.

An inline booth sits in a row with neighbors on both sides, a corner opens on two aisles, a peninsula opens on three, and an island stands alone with all four sides open. Bigger exposure means more design freedom and more traffic, but also stricter height and hanging-sign rules. JET The Agency designs for all four, and we’ll tell you honestly which one your goals actually need.

A 10×10 usually installs in a few hours. A 20×20 typically takes one to two days, and large islands can run three or more, which is why move-in windows are assigned by booth size. JET The Agency schedules install and dismantle around your show’s target dates, with our own supervisor on the floor until it’s done.

Four questions separate the pros from the brokers: Do you own your inventory and shop, or subcontract everything? Do I get one point of contact? Is your estimate line-itemed? Can you show insurance certificates? JET The Agency answers yes to all four, in-house fabrication, one project manager start to finish, transparent estimates, and COIs on request.

Yes. JET The Agency delivers, sets, and picks up at every major Las Vegas venue: the Las Vegas Convention Center, Mandalay Bay, the Venetian Expo, Caesars Forum, and Strip and downtown hotels. Our warehouse and crews are local, so your furniture arrives on your schedule, not a freight carrier’s.

Order at least two to three weeks out and life is easy. Closer to the show, late fees kick in across the industry and inventory gets thin during the big show weeks. JET The Agency takes rush orders when inventory allows, and because our warehouse is in Las Vegas, “rush” is usually still doable.
