Drayage services include the accepting of your material either at the warehouse or at show site, delivery to your booth, storage of empty containers during the show, returning empty containers at the close of the show, picking up your packaged materials, returning them to the dock, and loading on the carrier of your choice.

Booth Freight

Freight sent to the advance warehouse will be delivered to booths prior to the start of exhibitor move-in on Sunday. Freight sent directly to the show site will be unloaded and delivered as dock space allows.

Time Saving Tip: Ship to the advance warehouse as that freight is delivered earliest.

How late past set-up hours can I stay in the hall? Am I allowed to leave and come back in after hours?

Yes, you can remain in the hall up until 10:00 pm to finish set up.

Once official set-up hours end at 5:00 pm you will be allowed to stay and continue setting up, however, if you leave the exhibit hall you will not be permitted to reenter that evening.

Time Saving Tip: Please make sure all your products and freight are in your booth and ready for set-up

Is it better to use advance shipments or direct (to show site) shipments?

Time & Money Saving Tip: In general, it is best to ship your materials to the “advance shipment” address. The charge for this may be slightly higher than shipping direct to the show site but the benefit far outweighs the cost. You can (and should) confirm that we have received your materials well in advance of the show installation; if there is a problem it can then be solved prior to the show. When shipping direct, if there is a problem there is seldom time to resolve the problem prior to the show opening. Another advantage to advance shipments is that your materials will be in your booth when you arrive and you can begin installation immediately, thus saving you time and frustration at the show site.

Are balloons allowed in the venue?

Balloon Policy for Caesar’s Forum

Caesars does not allow foil or mylar balloons of any kind in the facility. Standard rubber balloons with oxygen or helium are permitted in the building but must be anchored in some way. Cleaning fees may apply for loose balloons that float up to the ceiling.
