Lean Teams in Vegas: What to Delegate vs What to Keep

When Vegas teams run lean, delegation becomes strategy. Here’s what to keep internal and what to hand off white-label.

Written by Coordinated Eventures

Vegas programs are leaner than they used to be. Fewer senior producers travel early. Fewer “extra hands” exist onsite. So delegation becomes strategy—not convenience.

What you should keep internal

  • Client-facing communication and relationship control.
  • Creative decisions and approvals.
  • Anything that changes the brand experience.
  • Budget authority and final go/no-go decisions.

What you should delegate (white-label)

  • Timed deliveries and pickups (last-mile).
  • Vendor runs and urgent sourcing runs.
  • Receiving coordination where permitted.
  • Post-show returns and consolidation.
  • On-ground escalation handling under your direction.

Why this works

Producers should be protecting the experience—not getting pulled off the floor to solve logistics. A clean delegation model keeps everyone in their lane and the day calm.

Field Notes rule

Protect the people who protect the client.
Need coverage?

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.
