SPECIAL NOTICES:

Once again in 2006, ICSC will be utilizing the wall system introduced in 1995. Panels are 4’-0” wide and 10’-0” high.
The installation of the 10’ high exterior walls, in each tenant area, is accomplished in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and under the close supervision of experienced GES personnel. In each tenant area there are wing walls (supports) that are part of your leasing area. The wing walls are 2’ wide and 10’ high at the front of the booth and 1’ wide and 10’ high at all other locations. Due to structural requirements, they cannot be removed by anyone other than GES personnel. Our safety, the safety of your neighbors and of all Leasing Mall attendees is of paramount importance. Please do not compromise the safety of the wall installation by attempting to move or remove any walls without prior authorization from GES.
Lightweight items may be hung on the walls using Velcro or special clips obtained at the GES Service Center. Items are not to exceed ten pounds per four-foot panel. Do not tape, staple, nail or otherwise fasten anything to walls. Invoices will be issued for damage to walls.
If your display is a freestanding unit and if you feel some or all of your exterior walls will not be needed, please e-mail Tamie Wilson-Morgan at twilsonmorgan@ges.com by April 17, 2006.
A GES Service Center will be located in the lower portion of the Grand Lobby of the Las Vegas Convention Center in Room N107.
A menu detailing food and beverage selections offered by ARAMARK, the official Leasing Mall caterer, is included in your exhibitor’s packet. Any questions regarding this menu should be addressed to Paris Magasiny at ARAMARK Services, (702) 943-6904.
Smart City Networks is the official telecommunications service contractor for the Las Vegas Convention Center. All telecommunication requests must be ordered through Smart City.
Important: The Las Vegas Fire Marshal has mandated several types of Halogen bulbs unsafe for exhibit use and has banned linear bulbs, MR 11/16 uncovered, line voltage and low voltage Bi-Pin bulbs from use in any Leasing Mall exhibit.

Additionally, all fire hose racks, fire extinguishers, and emergency exits must be visible and accessible at all times. Exhibit spaces that have LVCC columns with designated fire extinguisher locations should supply an extra fire extinguisher for easy on-site accessibility.

This copy will specifically be utilized for design criteria compliance. Please email your design to Valerie Cataffa. An additional copy of the design should be forwarded to GES (Attention: Tamie Wilson-Morgan) as a record only, and to the Las Vegas Fire Marshal at The Office of Fire Protection and Safety, LVCC, 3150 Paradise Road, Las Vegas, NV, 89109.
