Las Vegas brand activations live or die by the people working the booth.

Trade shows, sampling activations, sponsor lounges. The activation costs more than the staff. The staff is what makes it worth it.

We staff Las Vegas brand work with ambassadors who can talk the product, hold the line, and represent the brand on camera and off.

They're employees, not contractors. We pay them, insure them, and stand behind them. That's the whole pitch.

How to hire

Four steps. No mystery.

Tell us what you need. We'll tell you honestly what we can do. Then we'll do it.

  1. 01

    Scope the room

    Venue, capacity, run-of-show, special requirements. Five minutes on the phone is usually enough.

  2. 02

    Confirm Nevada compliance

    Nevada Food Handler · TAM Card where applicable. Sorted upfront, not on the day-of.

  3. 03

    Submit and match

    Crew assembled, supervisor named, COIs issued. You see who's coming before they arrive.

  4. 04

    Pre-event briefing

    30–60 minute walk-through with the FOH lead before doors. Nothing improvised.

Real-world scenarios

What this actually looks like in Las Vegas.

Vegas runs the biggest trade-show calendar in North America and a 24/7 venue rhythm. Two real examples:

Scenario 01 · Trade show

5-day mega-show at LVCC

120-person crew across 8 halls. Multiple named supervisors, central comms, day-3+ rates kick in.

Standard rates. Lead time: 4 weeks.

Scenario 02 · Residency

Sold-out night at T-Mobile Arena

16-person crew on aisle monitoring, ADA, and VIP escorts. Wardrobe-coordinated to the residency.

Standard rates. Lead time: 2 weeks.

Common mistakes

The five things that go wrong.

Worth saying out loud, since most staffing companies won't.

warning

Booking the cheapest crew you can find

A no-show costs more than the difference between $22 and $30 an hour. The cheapest quote is rarely the actual cheapest.

warning

Booking under-staffed

Bodies aren't where you cut. Under-staffing creates the bottleneck you spend the rest of the event apologizing for.

warning

Skipping the venue briefing

The 30-minute walk-through is the cheapest insurance you can buy. Skipping it costs more in the first 20 minutes than the briefing would have.

warning

Mixing W-2 and 1099 on the same crew

It looks fine on the spreadsheet. It doesn't look fine in the audit. Nevada has been more active on this than most planners realize.

warning

No named supervisor on site

If the answer to "who's running the crew" is "the agency," that's not an answer. Every deployment needs a name.

We built TempGuru because someone had to. Turns out that someone was us. Las Vegas is one of the markets where the difference between a good brand ambassador crew and a no-show crew shows up fastest.

Common questions · Las Vegas

The honest answers.

What does it cost to hire brand ambassadors in Las Vegas? expand_more

$35–$40 per hour, all-inclusive. That's W-2 wages, payroll taxes, workers' comp, general liability, and supervision in one number. No add-ons on the invoice.

How far in advance should I book? expand_more

Two to four weeks for standard events. Tighter windows are sometimes possible — we'll tell you upfront if your dates are too tight, not the night before load-in.

What Nevada certifications do your brand ambassadors carry? expand_more

Nevada Food Handler certification for food-service roles. TAM Card (Techniques of Alcohol Management) where alcohol is being served. Both confirmed before deployment.

How many brand ambassadors do I need? expand_more

2–12 ambassadors per booth or activation, depending on venue layout and complexity. We'll size it with you on the call.

What makes TempGuru different from a gig staffing app in Las Vegas? expand_more

W-2 employment, workers' comp, named supervisors, real contracts. Not 1099 contractors marketed as flexibility. The gig app didn't show up to the audit. Funny how that works.

Can you scale brand ambassadors for multi-day Las Vegas events? expand_more

Yes. 25 to 500+ brand ambassadors across a multi-night run, with day-3+ rates that drop back to baseline. Same crew where possible so the venue learns their faces.

One vendor. Every city.
Zero surprises.

Tell us about your Las Vegas event. We'll tell you honestly what we can do.
