The Mandalay Bay Convention Center holds 2,100,000 square feet, opened in 2003 at 1.5 million square feet and expanded in 2015 with another 350,000 square feet of exhibit space, plus the 70,000-square-foot Oceanside Ballroom added on the second floor in 2016. Las Vegas Exhibit House rents and builds the exhibits that go into it, from a facility here in Las Vegas — so your booth ships across town, not across the country.
Mandalay Bay Convention Center is at 3950 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89119. South-end Strip location means freight routing comes in off Russell Road rather than fighting mid-Strip traffic.
The numbers that decide what you can build
Ceiling heights differ between the original halls, the 2015 expansion and the ballroom levels, so confirm the rigging height and hang points for your assigned room before a hanging sign is fabricated.
The building divides into 75 separate rooms across three floors with three catering kitchens, so a Mandalay Bay footprint is often split between a hall floor and a ballroom level, and each level has its own freight path and its own delivery deadline.
Labor, freight and the exhibitor kit
Teamsters jurisdiction over material handling and prefabricated exhibit install and dismantle applies at Mandalay Bay as it does across Las Vegas, with the show's general contractor publishing the specific rules per event.
Material handling is charged by weight and it is the line exhibitors underestimate most often. Shipping to the advance warehouse gets your crate into Las Vegas early and delivered to your space by the general contractor; shipping direct to show site means hitting a targeted move-in window at Mandalay Bay Convention Center, and missing that window is expensive. When you rent from us the freight originates in Las Vegas and a large part of that cost goes away.

Questions about exhibiting at Mandalay Bay Convention Center
Do you rent trade show exhibits, or only build custom ones?
Both, and most Las Vegas exhibitors are better served by renting. A rental gives you the finished appearance of a purchased exhibit with no capital outlay, no storage bill between shows and no refurbishment cost when the design dates. You get new graphics every time and you can change footprint from one year to the next. We also design and fabricate custom exhibits when the booth has to do something a rental cannot. Call (702) 760-4036 and we will tell you honestly which one your project needs.
What is included when I rent an exhibit from you?
Structure, graphics printed new for your brand, flooring, lighting, delivery to your venue, installation, supervision through show days, dismantle and return freight. We also order and coordinate electrical, rigging, material handling and the labor call, and we put all of it on one quote so you are not reconciling six invoices from six vendors after the show.
How do Las Vegas union rules affect my booth?
Teamsters hold jurisdiction over unloading and reloading, all material-handling equipment, and the installation, dismantle and first cleaning of prefabricated exhibits. Your own full-time employees may work the booth with proof of employment and photo ID, but they may not use tools of any type at any booth size and may hand-carry only — no dollies, no hand trucks. The specific rules are set per show by the general contractor in the exhibitor kit, and we read that kit for you and place the labor call.
Can you install and dismantle at Mandalay Bay Convention Center?
Yes. We place the labor call, supervise the install, stay reachable through show days and handle the dismantle and return freight. You do not need to be in the hall at six in the morning watching a crate get opened.
