CES Alexis Park exhibitor question

I'm helping a friend who will be exhibiting at the CES for the first time, specifically at the Alexis Park.
I know that Unions can be a problem at theses events. I have read (horror) stories in show coverage.
I know that exhibitors are told that they have to use union labour to move their equipment to their exhibit rooms, at a hefty price, of course.
Have any of you had any experience with this, or know if it is possible for an exhibitor to move their own equipment into their own room?! I would think that most people hate the idea of having to pay through the nose to have someone else move their equipment when they are quite capable of doing it themselves....more carefully too!

I've helped a couple of exhibitors move stuff at two CES shows. The parking on the side of the Alexis Park venue is pretty close to any of the exhibition spaces. At worst, you will have to carry stuff down one corridor and down one level of stairs. If you don't have an unusually big display or really heavy items, you can probably manage the move yourself.

A common practice is to NOT bring stuff like folding chairs and to just buy that stuff in Vegas and leave it when the show is done. Vegas landfills must be full of chairs, potted plants, etc.
