Las Vegas Convention Center Central Hall Guide
Where it is, how the floor is really laid out, and what you are allowed to build in it — measured from the show's own published floor plan.
- Central Hall sits on the LVCC campus at 3150 Paradise Road, alongside North, South and West Halls.
- A 10 ft deep inline stand is capped at roughly 8 ft of back wall and is not permitted a hanging sign. A 20x20 island is typically allowed 16-20 ft and a sign.
- At RE+ 2026, Central Hall carried 563 stands with a median footprint of 200 sq ft — more than half of them height-capped.
- Aisle width is not decoration: the wide aisles are where the organiser expects the traffic, and they decide who gets seen.
Where Central Hall is, and how you get to it
The Las Vegas Convention Center is at 3150 Paradise Road, Las Vegas, NV 89109. Central Hall is one of four exhibit halls on the campus, alongside North Hall, South Hall and West Hall.
The campus is connected underground by the Convention Center Loop — twin tunnels that opened in June 2021, with three stations roughly 40 feet below the surface, moving people between halls in Tesla vehicles. For an exhibitor the practical point is that your hall assignment decides which entrance your visitors arrive through, and halls do not share foot traffic as freely as a single floor plan suggests.
West Hall is the newest of the four: a 1.4 million sq ft expansion completed in 2021, of which about 600,000 sq ft is exhibit space. South Hall was completed in 2004.
How the Central Hall floor is actually laid out
Published hall dimensions tell you very little about what it is like to exhibit in a hall. So we measured a real show instead.
Working from the published RE+ 2026 floor plan (the show's own CAD), Central Hall was laid out across roughly 1,078 ft by 768 ft and carried 563 stands. The mix:
- 190 islands — aisles on all four sides
- 71 peninsulas — three aisle sides
- 166 corners — two aisle sides
- 121 linear/inline stands — one aisle side
The median footprint was 200 sq ft, and the single most common stand was a plain 10x10. That matters more than it sounds, because footprint decides what you are allowed to build.
What the display rules let you build
Trade-show display rules are near-universal and almost nobody reads them until the week before. The short version:
- Linear / inline stand (10 ft deep): back wall capped at about 8 ft, side rails lower, and no hanging sign.
- Island stand (20x20 and larger, aisles on all sides): typically 16-20 ft of height and a hanging sign.
The consequence is worth stating plainly. If you have an inline stand, you are not allowed to do the one thing that makes a stand visible across a hall — while the islands around you are. The compliant answer is vertical inside your own footprint: a tall LED tower, a backlit lightbox, an LED poster. Height you are entitled to, in the space you already paid for.
Always confirm against the specific show's exhibitor manual — organisers vary the detail, and it is their rulebook that governs.
Why aisle width decides who gets seen
Aisles are not uniform, and the difference is deliberate. Organisers widen the main arteries where they expect people to walk and keep the secondary rows narrow. When we modelled sightlines across the Central Hall floor — ray-tracing from every walkable point over the 8 ft walls in between — the result was stark: an 8 ft inline stand is visible from almost nowhere except its own aisle.
Raise the same stand's usable height and the picture changes completely for some positions and barely at all for others, depending entirely on what is standing around it. That is a question about your specific booth number, not a general rule — and it is answerable before you commit to a design.
Frequently asked
What is the address of the Las Vegas Convention Center?
3150 Paradise Road, Las Vegas, NV 89109. Central Hall is one of four exhibit halls on that campus, with North, South and West.
How tall can my trade show booth be in Central Hall?
It depends on your booth type, not the hall. A 10 ft deep inline stand is generally capped near 8 ft with no hanging sign; a 20x20 or larger island is usually permitted 16-20 ft and a hanging sign. Confirm against the specific show's exhibitor manual.
Can I hang a sign over a 10x10 booth?
Almost never. Hanging signs are typically reserved for island and peninsula stands. In-booth vertical elements are the compliant alternative.
How do people move between the LVCC halls?
On foot, and via the Convention Center Loop — twin tunnels opened in June 2021 with three stations about 40 feet below the surface, running Tesla vehicles between the halls.
How big is Central Hall?
At RE+ 2026 the Central Hall exhibit floor was laid out across roughly 1,078 by 768 feet and held 563 stands. The usable area varies by show, since organisers configure the halls differently.
