I've participated in trade shows for my employer and was amazed at how fast setup and teardown can be accomplished. Our pallets and crates were delivered to our stall the day before the show and the staff was rolling out the carpets that evening. We were ready to rock in about 12 hours from crate delivery to Showtime and visa versa.

Hey Matt, Hope you enjoyed your trip to sin city. Speaking of sin, it would be a sin if you don't hange your floor drains to go into a oil recovery system that can be pumped out. Would save the fish in the creek. Surely from your past you would understand not to put oil in the creek. You can say you keep your floor clean but we know oils are going in the creek. Accidental spills happen or tank gets a leak. It happens! Why have floor drain if you don't expect to need to use them. Taking that protection would at least make up.for your past accident. You make plenty off these videos to do the right thing.

I worked at an RV dealership and we used to do trade shows. Usually in the winter and early spring just to bring out the new models of motor homes and travel trailers. The idea is exposure and to create interest. Usually, we'd get a couple/few sales but a couple of months later is when the people at the shows come into the showroom to make a deal.

Thank you for going and giving video tour. YES you are absolutely RIGHT about "SIZE" of convention center and outdoor displays. It took me ONE whole day just to go through the inside of multiple floors INSIDE just Convention center. Whats so great is for example the ( Joy Stick) control system on a CAT NEW motor Grader, you can TALK to the manufacturer in one of the Booths, that design and build the system ( control Joy Sticks) for CAT graders. The amount of (Chinese) heavy equipment that is coming to us market is eye opening. And a lot of the China built machine use USA ( Cummins) engine and US made Hydraulic systems. So other than upper and lower body works. Thay are USA parts available. I just heard from another U-Tube guy ( C&C Equipment) that ( Sany) will NOT cover Warranty if even a Low hour machines is Sold at Auction. Just a FYI. He explained it better than me if you check out his video on ( Sany) not coving excavator at Auction, even though the sales brochure says WARRANTY still in effect.
