Laughlin Vendor Information PageInformation for all vendors and sponsors for the Laughlin Training and Vendor Expo - September 12-14, 2023 Join us at the fabulous Edgewater Resort & Casino, Laughlin, Nevada Vehicles inside E-Center: If you wish to have a vehicle in the Edge Pavillion, the ONLY booths that allow a vehicle are the following and you must have 2 side by side or back to back. Gas tanks must be below 1/4 tank before load in: 1/2; 13/14; 24/25; 36/37; 47/48 Special Speaker/Quiet Time: There is a special speaker this year for the opening ceremony. It is imperative that your attendees be in the Edge Pavilion and have booths set up by 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, September 13, 2023. We recommend booth setup on Tuesday afternoon and have extended the hours of setup for your convenience for those that wish to setup earlier. We invite all vendor attendees to join the AACOP attendees for this special presentation. Additionally, we ask that those still on the vendor floor honor our request for “quiet time” so that it does not interfere with the speaker’s presentation. For your convenience we have created a “To Do List” to ensure you don’t miss a thing! To Do:
