Cosmoprof North America Logistics: Drayage, Labor & Shipping at Las Vegas

Most Cosmoprof North America exhibitors don't get tripped up by the booth — they get tripped up by the logistics at Las Vegas: drayage, union labor, and getting freight in and out on time. Here's what to plan for.

Drayage (material handling)

Drayage in Las Vegas is billed per hundredweight by each show's official contractor; advance-warehouse shipping usually beats showsite delivery on both cost and certainty.

Labor at Las Vegas

Most major Las Vegas halls are union houses — confirm rigging, electrical and install rules in your exhibitor kit.

Docks & move-in

Las Vegas convention venues offer extensive docks, but move-in windows are tight during peak weeks.

Our advice for Cosmoprof North America

Book freight, electrical and labor early — Las Vegas runs back-to-back citywides and resources get scarce fast. The easiest fix: let us handle the turnkey side — we deliver, install, run on-site support, and dismantle, so drayage and labor are our problem, not yours.
