Exhibit House of Las Vegas delivers custom booth fabrication purpose-built for SEMA Show's exhibitor profile: Performance parts, wheels, tires, accessories, tools, truck/off-road gear, restyling products, OEM brands.
Custom Booth Build for SEMA Show
We work from your account team's brand book, but the build itself is engineered from the show's specific rules: ceiling height limits at Las Vegas Convention Center, hanging-sign weight allowances, and any sightline restrictions that apply to SEMA Show's floor plan.
SEMA Show is one of the Las Vegas shows where booth quality directly shapes attendee perception, so we don't cut corners on materials.
SEMA Show runs at Las Vegas Convention Center during November. Attendance is typically 160000+, and the show targets Performance parts, wheels, tires, accessories, tools, truck/off-road gear, restyling products, OEM brands. One of the top 5 trade shows in the US by attendance. Fills all LVCC halls plus outdoor lots. Custom vehicle builds are centerpiece exhibits.
Fabrication Lead Times at SEMA Show
We don't pretend lead times don't matter. The realistic floor for a full custom build for SEMA Show is 8 weeks from approved drawings; anything shorter means tradeoffs on finish quality or international-sourced materials. We say so up front.
Fabrication lead times for SEMA Show run 8-12 weeks for full custom; rental-to-custom hybrid builds can compress to 4-6 weeks if material is in stock.
SEMA Show has been hosted by Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) since 1967. Massive November anchor; largest single-show exhibit demand in Vegas
Material Selection for Las Vegas Convention Center
Material specifications for Las Vegas Convention Center include sustainable hardwood frames, recyclable aluminum extrusions, and printed graphics on substrate that survives Las Vegas's humidity and the freight cycle. We don't use materials that fail at the second install.
We design the structure to break into legal-shippable sections without losing the design intent, so reload-and-redeploy at the next SEMA Show cycle is straightforward.

Design-to-build for SEMA Show is a 5-phase process: brand alignment, schematic design, design-development with material specs, fabrication drawings stamped for the venue, then production.
Frequently asked questions
What's a realistic budget for a custom 20x20 booth at SEMA Show?
A 20x20 custom fabrication at SEMA Show typically runs $35K-$65K for the structure alone, depending on materials, hanging elements, and finish complexity. Add graphics, AV, freight, drayage, and labor for the all-in number — we quote those line by line.
How does Las Vegas Convention Center's rigging policy affect what we can build?
Las Vegas Convention Center has specific hanging-sign and rigging rules that we plan around — ceiling height limits, weight per anchor point, and required certified-rigger coordination. Our drawings reference those rules so the field install doesn't get held by the fire marshal.
Can the booth be reused at the next cycle of SEMA Show?
Yes, and we design for it. We also store the crates between cycles if you want.
Do you build the booth in Las Vegas or ship it in?
We fabricate in our Las Vegas shop.
How early do we need to start fabrication for SEMA Show?
For a full custom build at SEMA Show, plan on 8-12 weeks from approved drawings to crating, plus another 2-3 weeks for graphic print and apply. Hybrid rental-to-custom builds compress to 4-6 weeks, and pure rental can be 2-4 weeks depending on inventory and graphics complexity.
