Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is convention staffing different from general event staffing in Las Vegas?
Conventions require sustained professionalism across extended shifts (often 10–12 hours/day), specialized roles like A/V techs, registration desk staff, booth ambassadors, and room monitors. Las Vegas conventions at venues like the Las Vegas Convention Center and Mandalay Bay Convention Center operate on tight turnaround schedules between back-to-back shows.
2. What's the typical staffing breakdown for a mid-size Las Vegas convention?
For a 2,000-attendee convention: 3–4 registration staff, 2–3 badge scanners, 5+ booth ambassadors, 2–3 A/V techs, 1–2 logistics coordinators, and 2–3 wayfinding staff. Scale grows with venue size and concurrent sessions. Large-format shows at the Las Vegas Convention Center may require 50–100+ crew.
3. Are convention staff in Las Vegas required to have industry certifications?
A/V techs often need AV certification or equipment-specific training. Badge scanner and registration staff benefit from retail or customer-service backgrounds but typically don't require formal certifications. For union venues on the Strip, specific labor agreements may apply. TempGuru sources staff with relevant experience for each role.

Nevada has no state income tax. Federal overtime rules apply (time-and-a-half after 40 hours/week), plus Nevada requires overtime after 8 hours in a single day. TempGuru's all-inclusive pricing accounts for daily and weekly overtime thresholds, workers' comp, and all payroll tax obligations.

Absolutely. Consistency improves attendee experience and internal training efficiency. TempGuru books the same crews across multi-day conventions when possible, and we offer volume discounts for 3+ day bookings at Las Vegas venues.
