Floor graphics and decals in Las Vegas

Three floors, three materials

The floor decides the film. A sealed concrete lobby, a hotel ballroom's carpet and a sidewalk outside a store each need something different to stay down, stay safe and come up again. Tell the quote what you're covering and how long it needs to last, and it picks the material and says why:

Anti-slip on every hard-floor graphic

Every floor graphic we print on vinyl — for sealed floors, show floors, tile, wood, concrete or pavers — is finished with a textured anti-slip laminate. It isn't an upgrade and you can't turn it off: we don't sell hard-floor or sidewalk graphics without it. The same layer takes the scuffing from shoes and carts, so the print underneath stays intact.

Carpet graphic film is the one exception. It's made to grip carpet pile and goes down without a laminate.

If your venue, landlord or safety team asks for slip-resistance paperwork, tell us when you order and we'll tell you what we can supply for the laminate before you commit.

Butt seams, never overlaps

On a wall, panels overlap so there's never a gap. On a floor, an overlap is a raised edge that catches toes, wheels and cleaning pads — so floor pieces butt together edge to edge instead. Pieces also stay at 12 feet or shorter, so they lie flat and go down without trapping air.

A logo, an arrow or a shape that fits across the roll prints as one piece; the quote only splits a graphic when it has to. Before you order, it draws your floor with every piece on it, so you can see where each seam falls and keep it off faces and lettering.

Designing for people looking down

A floor graphic is read in passing, from standing height, by someone who's also watching where they're going. Big, simple shapes work; long sentences don't. Arrows, logos, a single word and strong contrast against the floor colour do the most.

The quote grades every image in your file against that viewing distance — about four feet up close, eight feet typical — at the size you're ordering, and boxes anything that will look soft. Vector logos and type stay sharp at any size.

Floor graphics at Las Vegas venues

Convention venues decide where floor graphics can go and who puts them down, and the rules differ by building and by show. A few, from the venues' and shows' own documents:

• Venetian Expo — every floor cling needs the Expo Event Manager's approval and an approved material. Floor clings can't go in front of escalator or stair landings or door thresholds, damaged or peeling clings must be replaced, and the general contractor installs and removes them; the meeting planner pays for any damage.
• Las Vegas Convention Center — on the polished concrete in the West Hall Atrium and North Lobby, only blue painter's tape is allowed (LVCC Facility Guide, July 2026, p. 28).
• MAGIC Las Vegas — floor decals must be printed on approved material and installed and removed by the exhibitor-appointed contractor, leaving no residue (MAGIC exhibitor information).
• AAPEX — floor covering left adhered to the floor is removed at the exhibitor's expense (AAPEX 2026 Display Rules).
• SEMA Show — nothing can be affixed to carpet, concrete or pavement without written approval from show management and the facility (SEMA 2026 Exhibitor Rules).

Inside a booth or in public areas: who installs

In public areas — lobbies, concourses, aisles — the venue controls the floor. At Venetian Expo, the general contractor installs and removes every cling. Plan for your graphic to be approved first and applied by the venue's contractor.

Inside your booth, the show's labour rules decide. At AAPEX, for example, Teamsters Local 631 — through its agreement with Freeman — has jurisdiction over wall and floor coverings unless your own full-time staff do the work; at MAGIC, floor decals go down through the exhibitor-appointed contractor. We print to the approved-material and approval rules and deliver for move-in, with pieces labelled in order so whoever installs them can work quickly. The full list, with what to send for approval, is in our floor graphics rules guide.

Outside convention halls — offices, retail, restaurants, hotel and casino floors with the property's approval, and event spaces where it's allowed — our crew installs.

How long they last and how they come up

Floor graphics are made for weeks to months of foot traffic, not years. Carpet film is for the run of a show or event. If a graphic needs to stay down longer — a permanent wayfinding path, a store's entrance logo — we'll plan a replacement schedule with you rather than promise one print will last.

Floor graphic vinyl and carpet film come up clean. Sidewalk and rough-floor vinyl is worked into the surface with heat, and it comes up with heat too. Choose “take it down later” in the quote if you'd like our crew to lift it at the end; see installation for how that's scheduled.

What moves the price

Floor graphics range from one logo to a whole booth floor, so there's no single rate. Upload your file with the floor size and the quote prices it — these are the things that change it:
