G2E 2027 key facts

The height, sign, and floor covering rules come from the G2E 2026 show rules and height floor plan; the 25 ft sign limit, floor load, ceiling, and venue exclusives come from the Venetian Expo. Ceiling heights are building measurements, not build limits. Confirm the rules in the G2E exhibitor manual before you design.

Last checked: October 2026

G2E 2027 runs September 27 to 30 at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas, with education starting September 27 and the expo hall open September 28 to 30. G2E 2026 ran September 28 to October 1. The 2026 expo hall opened September 29 in Halls A to D on the venue’s Level 2. The 2026 rules capped inline and linear booths at 10 feet. Peninsulas of at least 400 square feet and islands were allowed 16, 20, or 30 feet, depending on where the G2E trade show booth sat on the height floor plan.

Height zones and hanging signs (2026 rules)

Confirm your zone before the structure is drawn, because a design built for the tallest zone would be 14 feet over in the lowest one. Truss could hang above the limit only if it carried no graphics. Under the G2E 2026 A-Z Show Information Guide, equipment, products, or machinery displayed to demonstrate or simulate industrial use were exempt from the height limits. Only ceiling height and building and safety codes restricted them. Clear oversized gaming equipment with show management before you finalize the design. The Venetian’s General Contractor & Production Guide (08/26) gives the Level 2 Halls A to D ceiling as 32 feet 5 inches. Every wall facing an aisle or another booth had to be finished from top to bottom, and linear and perimeter inline booths still followed cubic content rules. At the Venetian Expo, Encore exclusively provides all rated truss, ground-supported or flown, and all rigging motors, and truss, lighting towers, and LED video walls are subject to a CAD review. The same Venetian guide also requires Encore labor to assemble, install, and dismantle any floor-supported item that projects more than 16 feet from the floor, which covers structures over 16 feet in the 20- and 30-foot zones.

The 2026 G2E height plan set the top of a hanging sign, or a sign and wall combined, by booth location (16, 20, or 30 feet), while the Venetian Expo limits hanging signs in Halls A to D to 25 feet, so confirm a sign above 25 feet with show management and the venue. Inline and linear booths could not carry hanging signs. A peninsula sign had to hang at least 5 feet from the side of the booth shared with other exhibits and could not extend over the aisle. On islands, the bottom of every sign had to sit 10 feet above the ground. Helium balloons were prohibited in linear booths and in booths with an allowable height of 12 feet or less, and any booth greater than 100 feet on a side had to include an aisle at least 10 feet wide.

Sound, lighting, and gaming device rules

The 2026 rules held booth noise to 85 decibels or lower and kept lighting within the booth, with nothing projected onto the ceiling, walls, or aisles. Under Nevada gaming regulations, an unlicensed manufacturer or distributor had to display a sign stating that it was not licensed by the Nevada Gaming Commission, and could not enter into sales contracts or accept orders for its gaming devices at the show. G2E exhibitors ship slot machines and other gaming equipment to the floor, so plan clear space around each unit for demonstrations and a seated area for buyer conversations. The Venetian rates the Halls A to D floor at 250 pounds per square foot of static weight, a building figure to check against heavy cabinets.

Who installs a G2E booth

With Freeman as the general service contractor (GSC) in 2026, exhibitors could handle installation and dismantle (I&D) with their own full-time staff or an exhibitor-appointed contractor (EAC). The EAC form was due August 13, 2026, and layouts for booths of 1,000 square feet and up were due August 14. Staff setting up their own booth carried company identification and could use a small dolly, but no motorized device or pallet jack. Freeman was the exclusive material handling provider, covering warehouse and direct shipments, show-day storage, and the return of empty crates. The 2026 exhibit area was not carpeted, and floor covering was required in every booth. A vehicle on display needed notice to show management 30 days before the first day of move-in, no more than a quarter tank or 5 gallons of fuel, whichever is less, and a 10-inch setback from the aisle, and it could not be started or have its battery cables connected during show hours.
