Access Control Staffing

An organized welcome. Clearly controlled access.

The entrance sets the tone for an event. Simon Event Services provides event screening and access control staffing in Las Vegas and other markets as scoped, helping guests find the right route while supporting your credential rules, screening procedures, and restricted-area requirements.

Build the entry plan before arrival peaks

We review the site layout, expected arrival patterns, ticketing process, screening requirements, and available space. Queue areas should preserve emergency access and reduce conflicts between arriving guests, vehicles, and people leaving the venue.

Give staff a consistent policy

A clear access matrix identifies which credentials permit entry to each area. Staff briefings should cover denied entry, lost credentials, re-entry, prohibited items, and supervisor escalation. Guest-facing communications help attendees prepare before they reach the checkpoint.

Plan for exceptions and changing conditions

Accessible routes, medical-device concerns, guest assistance, and secondary screening need a respectful, defined process. Access staff coordinate with security and venue leadership when an issue requires intervention. Staffing roles and authority are confirmed in advance so ticket checks, screening, and security decisions remain clear.

Common questions

They are related but distinct. Access control checks permission to enter; screening follows the event’s prohibited-item policy. The assignment can combine both functions with clear procedures and appropriate staffing.

Yes. We can staff agreed access points using the client’s credential rules, with a supervisor contact for exceptions and changes.
