A Vegas Run Sheet Template (That Actually Works on Show Day)
The best run sheet is the one that survives chaos. Here’s a template built for real Vegas timing windows and access constraints.
The best run sheet is the one that survives chaos. Here’s a simple structure that keeps your day controlled.
The template (copy/paste structure)
- Program:
- Dates:
- Primary contact (decision owner):
- On-site contact(s):
- Critical time windows: install / open / client walk / VIP moments
Run list (table columns)
- Run #
- Item(s)
- Pickup location + contact
- Drop location + contact
- Timing window (hard/soft)
- Access notes (parking, dock, credentials)
- Priority (1/2/3)
- Backup plan (if access changes)
Escalation chain
Local operator / last-mile lead → Agency ops lead → Producer → Client (only if agency decides)
Standard conditions (paste into the bottom)
These are standard conditions used to protect timing windows and prevent scope drift.
- Wait time: first 30 minutes included, then $150/hour (15-minute increments).
- After-hours / hard-window: +20%.
- Same-day booking: +20% (or +$150 minimum).
Why this works
- Forces timing windows and access reality onto paper.
- Prevents random runs from hijacking the day.
- Creates calm decision-making when something breaks.
Field Notes rule
If you don’t control last-mile, last-mile controls you.
Start with the coverage that prevents the scramble.
If you're flying in within 24–48 hours of install, juggling multiple vendors, or running hard windows—book The Ready (Arrival Control).
Boring execution is the goal. Boring is a compliment.
