The short version
Two sets of rules apply at the LVCC. The building's rules come from the LVCVA's facility guide and cover everything that touches the building: walls, glass, floors, lightboxes, escalators and the public lobbies. Your show's rules — the exhibitor manual from show management and its general contractor — sit on top and decide what happens inside your booth: heights, labor, deadlines, what can stick to the floor.
Anything outside your booth is the show's to arrange with the LVCVA. The facility guide says advertising in public areas needs extra compensation paid to the LVCVA, and shows report the public-area advertising they sell before move-in. So if you want a lobby cling, a column wrap or a lightbox, you buy the placement from your show, and the show gives you the spec and the deadline. We print to that spec.

Wall clings: approval, approved material, approved installer
The LVCC allows wall clings, with conditions. Each one must be approved in advance by your CSM. Only approved materials can be used, and the guide tells you to ask your CSM or the official service contractor for the substrate specification. Every cling is installed and removed by the OSC or an approved vendor, and that installer carries any chargeback for damage done putting it up or taking it down.
Separately, the guide prohibits adhesive-backed materials on any painted surface or wall and says clings are preferred. Anything attached to walls, doors or glass has to come off at the end of the show, or the cleaning is charged back to the show.
What that means for your order: get the substrate spec from your CSM or the OSC before you send us the file, and put it in your quote notes. We print on the material they approve and deliver it to the installer on schedule. A printer's job here is the print; the OSC or the approved vendor puts it on the wall and takes it down. See wall graphics for how panels, seams and bleed work on large walls.

Glass doors, windows and escalators
Door glass gets its own rule: a cling on a glass door must be see-through or keep a four-inch clear border, and it must not cover any installed stickers, such as the automatic-door decals. Clings are not allowed on escalator glass, and cosmetic wraps, clings or advertising of any kind are not permitted on escalators or elevators.
Window signs — static cling, foam core and the like — must not leave residue on the glass, and the guide's move-out checklist says all residue has to be removed from glass and windows, inside and out, after window clings come down.
Two ways to design for it. Either build the four-inch clear frame into the artwork (we'll show it on the proof), or print the door graphic on see-through perforated window film, which reads as a solid image from outside while people can still see through it. Our window graphics page explains the films.

Signs, banners and stickers
Banners and signs may be attached to the building only in approved locations, and when several events share the building, your CSM approves the locations for public-area banners. Freestanding signs have to appear on the show's floor plans and need approval to be placed. Nails, tacks, screws and tape can't be used to hang signs or banners, and stickers are not allowed on the property.
Signs and banners can't hang from the Paradise Road pedestrian bridge, the Desert Inn bridges or the South meeting rooms, and they aren't permitted on the light poles. Permanent digital screens, directional and exit signs, and restroom and concession signage can't be blocked.
For you, that means a banner needs hardware your contractor can rig or stand up without fasteners or tape, and freestanding signs need a base. We print banners and rigid signs for both. Tell us the hanging method when you order so the finishing — hems, grommets, pole pockets — matches it.

LVCC lightbox graphics
The LVCC's lightboxes take a professionally produced backlit print, and event producers may use any production vendor they choose as long as the material is right. The lessee works directly with a qualified printer on artwork, deadlines and payment, and the event producer pays the LVCC's public-area advertising commission under its lease.
The print is 60 inches wide by 60 inches high, but only 58 inches wide by 58.75 inches high shows through the opening. Keep logos, text and faces well inside the visible area. Deliver to LVCVA, Attn: Sign Shop, 3150 Paradise Road, Las Vegas, NV 89109, with your show name and show dates on the delivery information, and allow the Sign Shop at least five business days to install. Sign Shop staff insert and remove the graphics; standard practice is to remove and recycle them after the show unless you ask otherwise.
Our LVCC lightbox graphics page covers file setup for this size. Until it has its own quote, send us the file through the contact form and we'll price it.

Tape, floors and floor graphics
To protect the polished concrete in the West Hall Atrium and North Lobby, the only tape allowed there is blue painter's tape; double-sided tape can go on top of the blue tape to hold carpet down. Where carpet goes over the building's carpet, in lobbies and meeting rooms, a plastic sheet must go between the two, and only non-residue tape is allowed.
Floor marking anywhere in the building is chalk only, clear tape isn't to be used on exhibit hall floors, and all floor-marking residue has to be cleaned up by the end of move-out.
The guide's cling rules are written around wall clings, and it says all clings are installed and removed by the OSC or an approved vendor — so treat a public-area floor cling the same way and get your CSM's approval first. Inside your booth, your show's rules decide whether floor graphics are allowed and who applies them. Every vinyl floor graphic we print for a hard floor carries an anti-slip laminate (carpet takes a carpet graphic film), and pieces butt together rather than overlap, so there's no edge to trip on. More in floor graphics and our floor graphics rules guide.

Installing graphics in your booth
If a company other than your own staff does work in your booth, the LVCVA treats it as a show- or exhibitor-appointed contractor. It needs an annually issued LVCVA EAC permit, a certificate of insurance meeting the guide's minimums for general liability, auto liability and Nevada workers' compensation, and a Clark County business license. Its people on site must wear an ESCA worker ID badge; trade union workers are temporarily exempt. Your show then adds its own contractor registration and deadlines.
You can set up your own booth if show management approves, as long as the people doing it are full-time employees of your company and can show credentials. Shows often give union labor jurisdiction over wall coverings, floor coverings and sign placement when your own staff aren't doing the work — AAPEX 2026's union rules say exactly that — and CES 2027's contractor rules require an ESCA badge or union trade card and compliance with existing union contracts.
Where we fit: we print to the LVCC's and your show's spec, label every panel for the installer and deliver for move-in. Tell us your show and booth number and we'll coordinate the install with your show's contractor so it goes up on schedule. Off the show floor — offices, hotels, retail — our crew installs; see installation.

Getting graphics to your booth
The LVCC can't accept goods shipped to the building for show management or exhibitors; your show's official service contractor handles all shipping and receiving. In practice your graphics go one of two ways: to the contractor's advance warehouse before its deadline, or direct to show at your booth's target time. Both use the contractor's labels for your booth number.
The hand-carry policy is narrow. Your own full-time employees can carry materials in without material-handling equipment, unloading from a personally owned pickup or passenger van in a parking lot — no rentals, no curbside, no loading dock. Anything moved by a freight company, a contractor or anyone other than your full-time employees isn't hand carry, and neither is anything one person can't carry.
So a printer can't walk your graphics into the hall for you. We can deliver to the advance warehouse, labelled for your booth, or you can collect from our shop and have your own staff carry them in within the policy. Rolled graphics should travel in a tube or box with the booth number on it. For freight detail beyond graphics — marshaling yards, crates, target times — see Innovate 3D's LVCC exhibitor guide.

Questions we get
Do you print graphics for LVCC shows in Las Vegas?
Yes. We print wall, window and floor graphics, banners and signs at our shop at 4545 W Reno Ave to the LVCC's rules and your show's spec, and deliver them for move-in — to your show contractor's advance warehouse or as your show directs. Who installs on the show floor depends on the venue and your show's labor rules.
Can I put graphics on LVCC walls?
Only as clings, and only with approval. Your convention service manager must approve wall clings in advance, they must be an approved material, and the LVCC prohibits adhesive-backed materials on painted surfaces and walls.
Who installs wall clings at the LVCC?
The official service contractor or an approved vendor installs and removes every cling, and is responsible for any damage chargeback from installing or removing it.
What size are LVCC lightbox graphics?
The print is 60 inches wide by 60 inches high. Only 58 inches wide by 58.75 inches high is visible in the opening, so keep important content inside that area.
Where do I deliver LVCC lightbox graphics?
To LVCVA, Attn: Sign Shop, 3150 Paradise Road, Las Vegas, NV 89109, with your show name and show dates on the delivery information. Allow the Sign Shop at least five business days to install them.
Can I use tape on LVCC floors?
Only within the rules. In the West Hall Atrium and North Lobby, blue painter's tape is the only tape allowed on the polished concrete. Floor marking is chalk only, clear tape isn't used on exhibit hall floors, and floor-marking residue must be cleaned up by the end of move-out.
Can clings go on LVCC glass doors?
Yes, if the cling is see-through or keeps a four-inch clear border and doesn't cover the door's installed stickers. Clings are not allowed on escalator glass, and nothing goes on escalators or elevators.
Do I need an EAC permit to install graphics in my booth?
If a company other than your own full-time employees does the work, yes: the LVCVA requires an annual EAC permit with a certificate of insurance and a Clark County business license, and workers wear an ESCA badge. Your show adds its own contractor registration.
Can you hand-carry our graphics into the LVCC?
No. The LVCC's hand-carry policy covers only the exhibiting company's full-time employees. We can deliver to your show contractor's advance warehouse, or you can collect from our shop and carry them in yourself within the policy.
