AV Rentals in Las Vegas
Total Show Technology has the Las Vegas AV rentals and technology you need for your next trade show or conference.
When hiring an AV rental company, whether for corporate events, trade shows, or conventions, it’s essential to look for certain qualities to ensure the success of the event. For meeting planners, producers, and exhibit builders, these considerations are crucial to finding the right partner.
In addition, in a hub like Las Vegas, where conventions and events are huge, there are specific expectations for AV rental companies that cater to this high-demand market.
Key Qualities to Look for in an AV Rental Company
First and foremost, your AV rental company should have a proven track record in managing similar types of events. They should be familiar with the latest AV technology trends and draw upon that industry knowledge to recommend the best solutions. Better yet, look for companies that specialize in the type of event you’re organizing, whether it’s a corporate conference, trade show, or exhibit.
In addition to recognized expertise, they should have advanced AV technologies, from LED walls to sound systems and lighting. They should offer a broad selection of gear, including backup options, to ensure everything runs smoothly. Regardless of the size of your event, they should be able to handle both small events and large-scale conventions with equal competence.
A reliable AV company should provide onsite technicians who can troubleshoot any issues that arise during the event. They should also offer round-the-clock support, especially for multi-day events or setups that may occur outside of standard hours.
Another thing to look for — they should provide customized solutions and setups based on your event’s specific needs, including venue size, audience, and event goals. The company should be flexible enough to adapt to last-minute changes in the schedule, equipment needs, or venue layout.
They should also offer clear contracts and detailed and transparent pricing with no hidden fees, which includes breakdowns for equipment, setup, teardown, and technician fees. Be sure to ask if they offer bundled packages that may save money while still delivering high-quality services.
Check their client references, online reviews, or testimonials, particularly for similar events. Further, AV companies with industry certifications from InfoComm and AVIXA tend to have higher standards of quality and professionalism.
Finally, make sure your AV company is fully insured and licensed to operate within the venues you’re using. They should also verify that they follow safety guidelines, especially for rigging, lighting, and electrical setups.
Additional Expectations from a Las Vegas-Based AV Rental Company
Las Vegas is a unique location for events, often hosting large conventions and trade shows that require specific expertise and services. Here are some additional considerations when choosing an AV rental company based in Las Vegas:
- Familiarity with Major Venues: Las Vegas AV companies should have experience working in all the major convention centers (such as the Las Vegas Convention Center and Mandalay Bay) and be familiar with the specific logistics, rigging rules, and restrictions in these venues.
- High Capacity for Large-Scale Events: Due to the large size of events in Las Vegas, AV companies should have the capacity to handle multi-stage setups, extensive AV equipment inventories, and simultaneous events at different venues.
- Quick Turnaround Time: In Las Vegas, with back-to-back events, AV companies should excel at quick setup and teardown processes. Flexibility in handling tight schedules is a must.
- Connections with Local Vendors: A good AV rental company should have established relationships with other local vendors (staging, lighting, decor, etc.) to offer a more integrated service for larger events.
- Knowledge of Local Regulations: Understanding local permitting, union labor requirements, and safety standards is vital in Las Vegas to avoid any last-minute issues or delays.
- VIP and High-Stakes Event Handling: Las Vegas often hosts high-profile events that attract celebrity guests, executives, and large audiences. The AV company must be able to handle high-pressure situations, including last-minute changes, elevated expectations, and tight security protocols.
- Innovation and Showmanship: Las Vegas events tend to be highly visual and engaging, so companies should offer creative AV solutions like interactive displays, immersive experiences, and top-tier lighting and audio for a polished, dynamic presentation.

LED Walls and Other AV Rentals
LED walls are among our most popular Las Vegas AV rentals. We have a large inventory of LED walls, including BeMatrix and Absen. Our LED walls have superb color and brightness, along with structural versatility for use on stage or in trade show booths.
Using an LED back wall can also eliminate the need to rent a traditional monitor on a stand because it can be programmed to display picture in picture. As a bonus, eliminating the monitor on a stand frees up floor space in the booth, improving the booth flow and giving the space a much more open and inviting look.
In addition, TST is a premier LEDskin® provider in the exhibition service market through the exclusive beMatrix® bePartner AV program.
Exhibitors choose to work with TST because we know how to reinforce their brand and communicate their message. Being a bePartner means that we know how to set the stage.
LED walls are a surefire attention getter. When you use LED walls in your trade show booth, you’re sure to be noticed.
In addition, we have joined forces with Prism Lighting/Trussworks with exclusive lighting enhancements for beMatrix Systems.
