When it comes to Reno, ordinary doesn’t stand a chance. Known as “The Biggest Little City in the World,” Reno combines vibrant nightlife, thriving conventions, and mountain-to-lake adventure into one unforgettable destination. Your trade show booth should capture that same spirit—bold, dynamic, and impossible to overlook.
Trade Show Labs ships branded games and booth activations to Reno from Houston, and sends an event manager with them. You get a booth that draws a line; we handle everything else.
What we bring to Reno
The activations we run at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center and the resort ballrooms are the F1 race simulator with a leaderboard, the VR flight simulator, the golf simulator, Batak Pro, Tablet Jeopardy, the Are You Smarter Than An AI Bot? trivia game, the AI photo booth, the branded claw machine, the social media vending machine, the giant Plinko board, mini-drone racing, and swag made in the booth with SwagBot Beam laser engraving and SwagBot Print 3D printing. Each is wrapped in your artwork and, where it helps, tied to a lead form or prize tier.
Not sure which fits a 10x10 versus an island? Our guide to the best trade show booth games compares them, and our list of interactive trade show ideas covers demos and digital ideas too. The full list of trade show games and activations has photos of every unit.
For a full VR booth with more headsets and staff, our sister company VirtualRealityRental.co handles VR booth rental in Reno as well.
Trade Show Labs in Reno
Reno is a market we serve from Houston rather than from a local depot, and we say so plainly. Our nearest job to date was an overnight after-prom in Carson City, where six cordless VR headsets ran from ten at night to three in the morning. For a Reno show, the equipment ships from our Houston warehouse ahead of move-in and our event manager travels with it; certificates of insurance naming the Reno-Sparks Convention Center or your hotel are issued on request. If you want to see the same units working in a comparable market first, our Las Vegas page lists the exhibitors we have worked with there.
Why Reno?
This Biggest Little City Is Ready for Your Business
Home to more than 260,000 residents and millions of annual visitors, Reno is a hub where innovation, entertainment, and outdoor adventure collide. Nestled at the foot of the Sierra Nevada and just a short drive from Lake Tahoe, the city blends natural beauty with nonstop energy. With its nickname, “The Biggest Little City in the World,” Reno proves that you don’t have to be the largest to make a big impact—and the same goes for your trade show booth.
Draw inspiration from Reno’s lively casinos, bustling Riverwalk, and growing tech and business community. The best Reno trade show ideas capture that same energy with interactive games, unique activations, and hands-on experiences that attract every type of attendee.
