02 · Coverage & labor

Where we have to be, and where we don't.

Two rooms need us. The other six prefer us. Every room has the same rule on rigging.

Required

Bourbon Room + Island Bar

HPS tech in the room for the event. Bourbon: lighting tech at$75/hr, 4-hour minimum. Island Bar: 1 hour before and 1 hour after (paradise rule).

Why: the lighting console and the waterpark's sound isolation. Outside operators cannot run either.

Preferred

The other 6 rooms

Terminal, Spirit Bar, Harlem, Heart & Soul, Taco el Diablo, Scarduzio's. Outside AV is permitted. HPS labor is optional.

Why preferred: we know the building, the power, the load-in dock, and which floor plates can take weight.

Universal

No outside rigging

HPS is the exclusive rigger for Showboat Hotel Atlantic City. Every room, every event.

Why: per the September 2022 master agreement between HPS and Showboat Renaissance, LLC. Structural and insurance reasons.
