“We developed several relationships with vendors at the EXPO Tradeshow that we took advantage of immediately.  We started to carry Crystal Head Vodka in our locations.  We contacted every insurance agency from the show to get quotes.  We used Omega Pattern Works for carpet and KG Furniture for our new custom bar stools and chairs.  We took full advantage of the treasure of information and vendors made available to us at the EXPO.”
— Charles Bass, Owner, Babes Cabaret in New Orleans and Diamond Club South in Houston

EXHIBITOR INFO...

The 20th Annual Gentlemen’s Club Owners EXPO convention and tradeshow will be held August 26-29, 2012, at the beautiful Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.  The backbone of the Annual EXPO is the Tradeshow which runs on days three and four (Tuesday and Wednesday) of the EXPO; Sunday is early registration and Monday is Panels and Workshops.

In keeping with the industry that we cover, there is a very casual, party-like atmosphere to the Tradeshow—think cocktails, music and constant activity throughout.  To reserve your Tradeshow booth space, please call Lacy Empkey or Ryan Davis at the ED Publications offices at (727) 726-3592.

The Tradeshow will be held in the South Pacific Ballroom in Mandalay Bay's North Convention Center.  The Tradeshow is conveniently located on the same floor as the EXPO Registration Desk and the EXPO Panel Session Rooms.

GUIDELINES AND KITS YOU WILL NEED:

ITEMS FOR YOUR BOOTH:

The Tradeshow will be in the South Pacific Ballroom.  Each 10-by-10 booth comes with a complimentary six-foot table, two chairs, a wastebasket and a small company sign.  The Tradeshow hall is already carpeted.  After reserving your booth(s) space, we will send you a link to GES, our tradeshow contractor, which will post all the details and forms you will need for everything from how to ship materials to your booth to ordering electricity.  Send in the applicable forms as soon as possible to take advantage of the early ordering discounts.  The GES website should answer all of your questions, but if you need personalized service call GES at (702) 515-5500.

SAMPLES & BARTENDERS:

There is no charge from Mandalay Bay to hand out “sample sizes” of food or drink which means bite-size food samples and very small drink samples.  If you plan to hand out full cans of energy drinks or beer or to offer full drinks with alcohol, you will have to pay a corkage fee to Mandalay Bay.  If you are handing out any type of alcoholic beverages, you need to hire a Mandalay Bay bartender for your booth.  Please direct questions about corkage fees, ordering ice and/or ordering bartenders to the Mandalay Bay Catering Department at (702) 322-5775.
