PLEASE NOTE: Failure to notify show management and/or apply for permit no later than three weeks prior to the move-in of an event could result in higher permit fees or non-admission of the item/service to the exhibit floor.

Please note: These are Clark County Fire Department guidelines.

1. In accordance with the Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act, smoking is prohibited in exhibit areas.

2. All materials used in construction and decoration of an exhibit must be flame retardant. Fabrics must be certified as flame retardant or a sample must be available for testing. Materials which cannot be treated to meet the requirements may not be used. NFPA 701 is the accepted standard.

3. All exits and exit aisles must be kept clear and unobstructed. No furniture, signs, easels, chairs or displays may protrude into aisles unless shown on the Fire Marshal approved floor plan.

4. Designated "No Freight" aisles must be maintained clear of crates and exhibit materials during move-in and move-out. These aisles are required for emergency access throughout the hall and to expedite freight and empty crate moving.

5. All empty cartons or crates must be labeled and removed for storage or they will be removed as trash. Crates are not to be used as exhibit supports.

6. All fire hose racks, fire extinguishers, strobe lights and emergency exits must be visible and accessible (3' clearance for hoses and extinguishers) at all times. This includes fire protection equipment located within exhibits. Exits and exit signs must not be covered by drapes nor obscured from view by exhibit components.

8. Combustible materials must not be stored beneath display vehicles. Space beneath vehicles must be clear and visible except for permitted electrical supplies.

9. Vehicles in building for unloading must not be left with engine idling. Exhaust gases present extreme hazards to workers on catwalks. If engine cannot be shut down, vehicle must be removed from the building as quickly as possible.

10. No storage of any kind is allowed behind booths or near electrical service. Materials for hand-outs must be limited to one day supply and stored neatly within the booth. Violators will be notified and if not removed by show opening, Official Service Contractor will remove and store at EXHIBITOR’S EXPENSE.

11. All 110 volt extension cords shall be three-wire (grounded), #14 or larger AWG, copper wire. All connections must be supported and secure. Two wire, “Zip Cords” are not permitted other than factory installed appliance connectors; these may not exceed six (6) feet in length and must be UL approved.

12. Cube tap adapters are prohibited (Uniform Fire Code 85.107). Multi-plug connectors must be UL approved with built-in overload protection. Connectors must not be used to exceed their listed ampere rating.

13. Electrical work under carpets or flooring must be installed by the official electrical service provider. All cords must be flat, three conductor, #14 AWG or larger.

14. All temporary wiring must be accessible and free from debris and storage materials. Hard backed booths must have power supplies dropped within the booth.

15. Flammable or combustible liquids are prohibited inside of buildings except as approved by the Office of Fire Protection and Safety. Flammable thinners, solvents and paints, including aerosol cans are strictly prohibited within the building.

16. Compressed gas cylinders, including LPG, are prohibited unless approved by the Office of Fire Protection and Safety. Flammable gases, i.e.: butane, propane, natural gas, et al; are subject to prior approval. Non-flammable compressed gas cylinders must be secured in an upright position with gauges and regulator protected against physical damage.

Please contact the the event facility for specific guidelines. Multi-level covered exhibits require automatic fire sprinklers underneath all covered areas on each level when the walking surface of the upper level(s) is over 1,000 square feet that will be in place for 7 or more show days (not including move-in and move-out days). Upper level areas of multi-level exhibit booths exceeding 300 square feet shall not have less than two remote means of egress. Sprinklers are also required when there will be vehicles, open flame, or hot works underneath any covered areas. The permit that is required is only for the installation of fire sprinklers, not for structural review of exhibits. Any exhibit with an upper deck area to be occupied must be evaluated and stamped by a licensed engineer. Stampled plans should be present within the exhibit for potential verification by the Fire Marshal upon request.

Exception: Where the booth is used in an event with duration less than 7 calendar days and does not contain vehicles, open flame or hot works, automatic fire sprinklers are not required, provided the aggregate area of unsprinklered booths within the room does not exceed 30% of the room size.
