G2E booth staff and trade show models for 2027, all Las Vegas locals, who host slot banks, table pods, kiosks, meeting rooms and lead desks. Every person costs $85 an hour, and you never pay for flights or hotels.
Sources: globalgamingexpo.com home page (G2E 2027, September 27–30, 2027, The Venetian Expo, Las Vegas; 400+ exhibitors; 25,000+ gaming professionals; 120+ countries, regions and territories; 100+ education sessions) and Attend page FAQ (G2E 2026 ran September 28–October 1, 2026; 2027 education begins September 27; G2E 2028 is October 9–12, 2028). 2026 expo hall days (September 29–October 1) from the AGA and RX registration announcement as reported by Yogonet, June 24, 2026. The $85 rate is Purple Exhibits’ own.
At G2E, a slot director decides in about a minute whether your cabinet is worth a second look, so the person standing next to it matters. Purple Exhibits supplies G2E booth staff who live in Las Vegas: slot floor hosts, table demo hosts, kiosk hosts, systems presenters, trade show models, lounge hostesses and reps at the lead desk. The price is the same for each of them: $85 an hour per person, and each shift runs at least four hours. Because the crew is local, your invoice carries no flights, hotel nights or travel fees. The next edition, G2E 2027, runs September 27–30, 2027, at The Venetian Expo, and the show returns to Las Vegas every year. Book five to six weeks ahead for the deepest bench; rush orders work with 72 hours’ notice.

Next to hundreds of glowing cabinets, people in one matched look are what buyers remember. Every photo here shows a real Purple Exhibits team, the bar we hold for G2E trade show models and hosts.
Our cover photo shows four hostesses in white sheath dresses and purple neck scarves in front of a bank of slot cabinets. A matched crew in one clean color stands out against the glow of a gaming floor.

Real Purple Exhibits events.
Dress the whole crew alike, or match each zone: vests at the table pod, suits in the meeting room, dresses at the slot bank. Send any branded pieces and we handle sizes and a pressed, on-time arrival.
A fitted white dress with a scarf in your brand color, like our cover crew. Clean and bright next to busy cabinet screens.
Best for: Slot banks, launch daysA black vest, crisp white shirt, bow tie and dark trousers. Reads as casino at a glance, without anyone dealing.
Best for: Table game podsA long-sleeve red dress that pops on a dark carpet, with closed heels or dressy flats for long days.
Best for: Aisle greeters, photo momentsCharcoal or navy suiting with an open collar or a slim tie. The right look for systems and payments talks.
Best for: Meeting rooms, systems boothsA gaming booth is staffed by what people can play, not by square feet. Enter your cabinets, table layouts, kiosks and systems screens, pick your days and get a crew voucher with the cost for each day.
Eight services for G2E exhibitors, from the first spin at your slot bank to the client dinner that night. One price covers all eight: $85 an hour for each person.
Models stand at the aisle edge and invite casino buyers in to play the cabinet that fits their floor.
Ambassadors scan badges at the rope line, hand out your giveaway after the scan and keep the crowd moving.
When you unveil a new title, promotional models stand beside it on stage and keep the audience watching the screen.
Hostesses run your lounge and meeting rooms, greet each booked property team and keep coffee coming between sessions.
Demonstrators learn one short talk per cabinet, kiosk or system and deliver it the same way every day.
Our check-in team runs the door list at evening suites, buyer dinners, property tours and receptions.
A rep works through your qualifying questions, marks the operator type and sets the sales call while the buyer is still at the desk.
G2E draws people from more than 120 countries, regions and territories. Ask early for Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese or another language and we look for Las Vegas staff who speak it.
Our Las Vegas trade show staffing crew works every big hall in town, so the people at your G2E booth already know The Venetian Expo. Need a deeper bench for one job? See our product demonstrators for game and system demos and our lead capture staff who scan and qualify buyers.
A sample island with a slot bank, a table pod, a kiosk wall, a systems bar and a meeting room. Tap a zone to see the host’s job there, or match the numbered dots to the list beside the plan.
Sample 40×40 island, drawn loosely. Before G2E we draw your own plan this way, with every host placed.
Operators sit down and play your newest cabinets on free play. A slot floor host greets each player, explains the feature in two lines and calls your game designer when a slot director asks about math or hold.
Table game managers want to watch the shuffler, the side bet or the electronic table in action. A demo host invites them to the rail and keeps the group small. Your own licensed specialist deals and answers rules questions. No real money is played.
Screens for online casino, sportsbook or player apps. A kiosk host hands visitors a tablet, starts the guided demo and scans the badge before they walk off.
Casino systems, cashless and analytics tools sell over a counter, not a cabinet. A presenter runs a short scripted walk-through on the big screen and books a deeper demo with your product team.
Buyers who want pricing finish at this desk, where a rep scans them, runs your short question set and marks the operator type: commercial casino, tribal, online operator, distributor or other.
One greeter on the busiest aisle asks what kind of floor the visitor runs and points them to the zone that fits, so slot buyers do not wait in the table line.
A new feature cabinet can draw a crowd. A short rope line inside your booth keeps the aisle clear and gives the host a clear end point.
Large orders are agreed in a closed room. The room host works from your meeting calendar, pours coffee and gives your account lead a heads-up as each property team shows up.
Brands that have booked Purple
G2E buyers play, watch and tap before they talk terms. Crowds build at different spots at different hours, so we staff one product line at a time.
Buyers play first and ask questions second. A floor host greets each player, explains the bonus round in plain words and flags any slot director who wants the game designer. All play is on free credits set up by your team.
Table managers like to stand at the rail and watch. A demo host fills the seats, keeps the group to a handful of people and passes rules and licensing questions to your own dealer or specialist.
Demos run on tablets and wall screens. A kiosk host starts the guided tour, hands the device over and scans the badge before the visitor moves on to the next booth.
These deals start with a five-minute talk at a screen. A presenter runs the same short script each time and books the longer demo with your product team.
Large orders are agreed behind a closed door. A meeting host keeps the calendar, greets each property team by name and tells your account lead when the next group arrives.
Other big shows in this city run on the same crew. Our SEMA Show booth staff host vehicle builds every November, and our ISC West booth staff run security demos at The Venetian Expo each spring.

People who can greet a slot director, start a kiosk demo in one breath and turn a casino buyer's badge into a booked meeting. These are the five roles we send to G2E.
Presenters on a headset mic who walk casino buyers through your new cabinet or system, live and on time.
Ambassadors who scan each visitor's badge at the edge of your gaming booth before they step in to play.
Hosts at the station everyone lines up for: the feature slot bank or the table game rail, all on free play.
Hostesses who welcome property teams into your client lounge with coffee and a quiet table to talk numbers.
Reps with a tablet who qualify each buyer by operator type and book the sales follow-up on the spot.

G2E fills The Venetian Expo, which links straight to the resort hotels around it. That makes it easy to move a host from the hall to a suite or a dinner on the same day.
Casino operators, tribal gaming teams, online operators and distributors all share one aisle, yet each wants a different follow-up. Our reps drop every scan into its own stack.

Chip colors are a sorting aid for your sales team only. No chips, cash or prizes of value change hands at a booth we staff.
A gaming booth has rules a food or tech booth does not. These are the lines every person on our crew learns before the hall opens.

Full hall dayA good middle day for booked meetings in your room or lounge.
Last dayTraffic thins toward the close. Plan a smaller crew for the final afternoon.

|---|---|---|---|
| Hourly rate | $85 per person, every role | Agency rate plus travel markup | Low hourly, untrained for booths |

| G2E venue know-how | Works these halls all year | Learns the venue on show day | Hit or miss |
| The G2E edge | Every host tries each game before opening. | Not local | Not specialised |
| Product briefing | Included before day one | Varies by agency | Rarely |
| Scanner and follow-up | Notes in the scanner for sales | Depends on the team | Untrained |
| No-show plan | Briefed local within two hours | Usually none mid-show | Next available temp |

About three minutes. No deposit to ask.
We’ll email your quote within 24 hours, usually much sooner. Need it now? Call (800) 994-8030.
Visitors sometimes ask if they can win. Every host should say the same line: this is a demo on free play. We train that line before opening.
If the host has not played the game, the first question stops them. Our crew plays each title before the hall opens.
A feature cabinet can draw a crowd fast. Without a rope line inside your space, the line spills into the aisle and show staff step in.
A badge scan with no operator type is a cold lead. Tag every scan: commercial, tribal, online, distributor or partner.
Traffic thins near the close. A smaller crew on the final day saves budget for the busy opening hours.
Prefer the phone? Dial (800) 994-8030 and mention G2E.
All roles cost the same: $85 an hour for each person, and a shift is never shorter than four hours. That covers slot floor hosts, table demo hosts, scanner reps, hostesses and trade show models. The crew lives in Las Vegas, so no travel fees appear.
The official G2E site lists G2E 2027 for September 27–30, 2027, at The Venetian Expo in Las Vegas, with education starting September 27. Expo hall hours for 2027 were not posted when we last checked. In 2026 the show ran September 28 to October 1, with the hall open the last three days.
Yes. G2E is held every year in Las Vegas, usually in late September or early October. The official site already lists G2E 2028 for October 9–12, 2028.
No. Our hosts never deal, run or settle a real-money game, and they never handle cash, chips with value or vouchers. They greet players at games set to free play or demo mode, explain the feature you approve and pass rules, math and approval questions to your own team.
Count what visitors can play or try. Plan one host per 12 slot cabinets, one per two table layouts and one per four kiosks, and finish with one scanner rep and one aisle greeter. Our crew planner runs those numbers per day.
Each badge gets scanned, then the rep asks the two or three qualifiers you signed off on and marks the buyer as commercial casino, tribal, online or sports operator, distributor or partner. Your sales team sees at a glance whom to call first.
Five to six weeks before the show gives you the widest choice of people. Fall is busy for Las Vegas event staff, so earlier is better. If you are late, we can still fill a rush order on 72 hours’ notice.
We do. Our G2E crews are Las Vegas residents, so nothing for airfare or hotels goes on your invoice. The rate is $85 per person per hour, four hours minimum.
Yes. Take one shift on your busiest hall day, for a launch, or just for the final afternoon. Four hours is the minimum per person, and more days can be added while there is still time for a briefing.
Often, yes. G2E reports visitors from more than 120 countries, regions and territories. Name the languages, such as Spanish, Mandarin or Japanese, when you request staff. The rate stays $85 an hour.
Standby people are on call in Las Vegas all G2E week. A replacement who has been briefed gets to The Venetian Expo inside two hours. Miss that window and the shift costs you nothing.
Yes. Hostesses, door hosts and suite hosts work resort suites, buyer dinners, receptions and property tours around Las Vegas.
Most gaming suppliers pick one of four looks: white dresses with a brand-color scarf, black vests with bow ties, red cocktail dresses or tailored suits. You can ship branded pieces and we collect sizes ahead of time.
No. Purple Exhibits is independent, and exhibitors book us directly. We have no affiliation with the American Gaming Association, which presents G2E, or with RX, which organizes it.
Yes. Our team designs, builds and installs exhibits at The Venetian Expo, slot banks, table pods, meeting rooms and lounges included, and one plan covers both the booth and the crew.
Gaming suppliers host their best customers away from the expo hall all week. Our Las Vegas crew staffs those events too.
