HOW EVENT STAFF PRICING WORKS
Staffing rates, what’s included, and what is not
At XS, we don’t use one flat hourly rate for every type of event staff. Our rates are based on what the staff member will actually be responsible for during your event.
Some roles may start around $35/hour, while specialized roles can reach $65/hour. A staff member providing basic event support should not cost the same as someone representing your brand, managing VIP guests, demonstrating a product, or leading an event team.
That’s why we price the role first — not simply the job title.



Starting rates shown reflect Las Vegas pricing. Rates vary by city, role requirements, and scope of work.
WHAT SHAPES STAFFING RATES
Not all events are created equal. Neither are their rates.
CITY &
LOCATION
Staffing rates vary by market. Las Vegas has our lowest starting rates, while Los Angeles and San Francisco rates are higher based on local labor costs and staffing conditions. Parkig or remote locations will also affect the final quote.
ROLES &
DUTIES
The job title alone does not determine the rate. Level of guest interaction, brand representation, leadership responsibilities, presentation requirements, and the overall scope of work determine which staffing level your event requires.
EVENT
DURATION
Job duration, multi-day bookings, late-night or overnight schedules, and overtime can affect the final hourly rate. Longer or recurring bookings may qualify for adjusted pricing.
STAFF UNIFORM
Standard uniforms are generally included. Specific appearance requirements, model staffing, branded uniforms, costumes, or specialty wardrobe may affect staffing availability and pricing. Review our uniform options here.

Where The 20% Fee Goes (And Why It Matters)

INSURANCE & WORKERS' COMP
We carry $1M liability insurance and workers' compensation — so you, your guests, and our staff are protected at all times.

STATE EMPLOYMENT TAXES
All our staff is W-2. We manage payroll and pay state employment taxes, so our staff is properly classified & receive required benefits.

EVENT SUPPORT
We handle assignments, timing, and emergencies, making sure the right staff shows up on time, briefed, and follow the event plan.
BOOKED. REBOOKED. SATTISFIED.
