Christine gets the same question every week, sometimes from a bride sketching her reception timeline on a napkin, sometimes from a marketing director staring at a floor plan for a three-day trade show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. "What does the 360 booth actually cost?" The honest answer depends on whether you're booking by the hour or by the day, and on how much you're layering on top of the base rental.
Here's the breakdown, current for 2026, with real numbers instead of "request a quote" runaround.

Las Vegas 360 Photo Booth Rentals Start at $250 Per Hour
The baseline is simple: our 360 video booth runs $250 per hour, and the classic open-air photo booth runs $200 per hour with a $600 minimum booking. That minimum exists because setup, teardown, and travel eat into a short rental the same way they eat into a long one, so a one-hour booking isn't really a one-hour job for the crew.
What's included in that hourly rate is the rotating rig itself, an on-site attendant running the platform for the length of your booking, and social-ready vertical video clips your guests can pull up and share the same night. Nobody's fumbling with a tripod or waiting on emailed prints; the footage is built for Instagram and TikTok from the moment it's captured.
Hourly bookings make the most sense for private parties, birthdays, and shorter receptions where a flat day rate doesn't pencil out. If your event runs three or four hours, you're paying for exactly that window, not a full show day you don't need.

Corporate Day Rate Packages Run $750 a Day for Trade Shows
Trade show floors don't run on hourly logic. A corporate day rate package runs $750 a day and bundles the booth, the attendant, a custom branded overlay on every photo or video, and lead capture into a single line item you can hand to your finance team without a spreadsheet of add-ons.
Exhibitors at venues like LVCC, Mandalay Bay Convention Center, or Venetian Expo lean toward the day rate because show floors run long, often eight or nine hours with steady foot traffic the entire time. Billing hourly against that kind of schedule stops making sense fast; a flat rate protects your budget and lets the booth run the whole floor without a clock-watching conversation mid-afternoon.
If your booth is going to run the full show day anyway, the day rate almost always beats hourly math once you clear four or five hours of traffic.
Multi-day conventions book the day rate per show day, so a three-day convention multiplies to three separate day-rate bookings, not one flat fee for the whole run. That's worth flagging early when you're building your activation budget, especially if you're coordinating the booth alongside other elements of a larger brand presence.
What Drives the Price: Hours, Attendant, Overlay, and Add-Ons
Beyond the base booth rental, most of the price variation comes down to add-ons layered on top:
- Balloon garlands: priced at $23 per linear foot, scaled to however wide your backdrop or entry point needs to be
- Marquee letters: $250 per hour, matching the booth's hourly structure
- Custom backdrops: quoted per project, since sizing and branding vary widely
A styled backdrop or a set of marquee letters changes the booth from a standalone rental into a full step-and-repeat moment, the kind of setup that photographs well on its own even before anyone steps in front of the camera. That matters for brand launches and receptions alike; the booth becomes part of the room's design instead of a piece of equipment parked in a corner.
Bundling add-ons with the booth rental usually beats booking separate vendors for backdrop, balloons, and photo booth logistics. One load-in, one point of contact, one setup window instead of three vendors working around each other.
360 Booth vs Classic Photo Booth: Which Fits Your Budget
Both booths serve different moments, and the right pick often comes down to output format as much as price.
| | Classic Open-Air Booth | 360 Video Booth |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly rate | $200/hour | $250/hour |
| Minimum booking | $600 | Varies by event |
| Output format | Still photo prints | Vertical video clips |
| Best fit | Corporate check-in stations, print-heavy events | Weddings, brand launches, social-first activations |
For events where guests want something physical to hold, a printed strip at a corporate registration table or a wedding guest book page, the classic booth wins. For events built around social sharing, the 360 booth's vertical video format is what actually gets posted and reposted, which matters if brand visibility or lead capture is the goal behind the rental.
Corporate Vegas Venues: Booking Timeline and COI Requirements
Exhibitors should lock their booth dates two to four months before a show to confirm rates and avoid scrambling during peak convention season, when calendars fill fast across LVCC, Mandalay Bay, and the Strip's other major convention spaces.
Certificate of insurance (COI) paperwork is part of that timeline. A professional vendor should return a COI within one day of request, naming the venue and sometimes the show organizer as additional insured, using their exact legal entity name as it appears in your exhibitor contract. Getting that name wrong is a common reason COIs bounce back for revision, so double-check it before submitting.
There's a deadline trap worth flagging early: paperwork for exhibitor-appointed contractors (EAC) often closes weeks before move-in, not the week of. That question, "what's the EAC deadline for this show," belongs in your first call with any vendor, not a panicked email during move-in week.
Hand-carried equipment like a photo booth rig is typically vendor-handled and walked straight to your booth space. Palletized freight and power drops route through the venue's material handling and show services instead, and those processes differ by venue. The Las Vegas Convention Center's exhibitor services publish specific vendor insurance and load-in requirements that outside vendors need to follow, and that published vendor packet, not a third-party review, is the source to check for your specific show.
Wedding and Private Event Pricing: What to Budget in Summerlin, Henderson, and Downtown
A typical wedding reception runs three to four hours of booth time at the standard hourly rate, whether you go classic or 360. Add a balloon garland or a set of marquee letters for the backdrop and you've got a full photo moment built into your reception timeline, not just a booth pushed against a wall.
Private-event hosts in Henderson, Summerlin, and Paradise can request the same booth lineup used for corporate activations, scaled down for a home or backyard setup. The rig itself doesn't change; what changes is the footprint and the styling around it. Wedding vendor marketplaces like The Knot list photo booth rentals as one of the most commonly booked add-ons alongside reception packages, right up there with lighting and DJ services.
For styling options that pair with a booth rental, our private events page and balloon garland page walk through what's available for backdrops and installations.
How to Get an Accurate 360 Photo Booth Quote
A quote is only as good as the details behind it. Before you request one, work through this list:
- Confirm your event date and venue, since availability and load-in logistics both depend on it
- Estimate your guest count, which affects whether hourly or day-rate billing makes more sense
- Decide hourly vs day rate based on how long the booth actually needs to run
- Ask about add-ons like balloon garlands, marquee letters, or a custom backdrop up front
- Request the COI early if your venue requires one, rather than waiting until move-in week
Ask for a written quote that itemizes booth hours, the attendant, any overlay or backdrop, and delivery separately, rather than one bundled number you can't audit.
Ask about the $100 Strip-area surcharge some Vegas vendors apply before you sign anything. It's a real line item at some venues, and confirming it up front avoids a surprise on the final invoice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 360 photo booth cost to rent in Las Vegas?
Expect around $250 per hour for a 360 video booth in Las Vegas, which typically includes the rotating rig and an on-site attendant. Corporate trade show bookings often run a flat $750 day rate instead, which bundles the booth, attendant, branded overlay, and lead capture into one price for the full show day.
How much does it cost to rent a photo booth in Las Vegas?
Classic open-air photo booths generally start around $200 per hour with a $600 minimum, while 360 video booths run about $250 per hour. Add-ons like balloon garlands, marquee letters, or custom backdrops are priced separately and can be bundled into the same quote.
Is a 360 photo booth worth renting for a corporate event?
For brand activations and trade shows, the 360 booth's vertical video output is built for social sharing, which matters if lead capture and brand visibility are goals. A corporate day rate around $750 covers the booth, attendant, custom overlay, and lead capture, making it easier to budget against a single line item.
What's included in a 360 photo booth rental price?
A standard rental includes the rotating rig, an on-site attendant, and the video output guests can download or share. Corporate day rate packages add a custom branded overlay and lead capture; backdrops, balloon garlands, and marquee letters are typically quoted as separate add-ons.
How far in advance should I book a 360 photo booth for a Vegas trade show?
Lock your booth dates two to four months before the show to confirm rates and secure your preferred booking window. This also gives enough runway to handle COI paperwork and any exhibitor-appointed contractor deadlines, which for many Vegas venues close weeks before move-in rather than the week of.
