  • iOS vs Android

    iPads run iOS — known for a consistent user experience, strong enterprise MDM support, and a large selection of event and education apps. They are ideal for uniform attendee experiences and kiosk deployments. Android tablets offer greater hardware variety, more OS flexibility, and broader compatibility with enterprise software. Both are available pre-configured at Aria AV.

  • Quick Turnaround

    Most tablet rental orders are confirmed and dispatched within 24 hours of a finalized quote. For events in Las Vegas and Chicago, where we operate dedicated local hubs, same-day and next-day delivery is regularly available. For large-volume orders requiring custom app loading or MDM configuration, we recommend contacting us 3 to 5 business days before your event to ensure every device is tested and ready.

  • Local Hubs

    Our Las Vegas hub serves the Las Vegas Convention Center, Mandalay Bay, the Venetian Expo, and every major Strip venue — home to CES, NAB, SEMA, and AWS re:Invent. Our Chicago hub covers McCormick Place, Navy Pier, and Midwest corporate venues. Local presence means same-day emergency unit replacement, no cross-country shipping delays, and technicians who can respond immediately if a device needs swapping or reconfiguration during your event.

  • Huge Inventory

    Aria AV maintains one of the largest tablet rental inventories in the United States — thousands of units available simultaneously across Apple, Samsung, and Microsoft platforms. We regularly fulfill single-event orders of 100, 200, and 500-plus tablets with identical models, storage, and OS versions guaranteed across the full fleet. Multiple models can be supplied in parallel for cross-platform events.

  • Custom Configuration

    Yes. All rental tablets can be pre-loaded with your event apps, configured with Wi-Fi credentials, enrolled in MDM for remote device management, and locked to approved content using Guided Access or kiosk mode. For large fleets, enterprise MDM tools replicate identical configurations across every device simultaneously. Allow 2 to 3 business days for setup on larger orders.

    Tablets arrive at your venue powered on and content-ready — your staff powers them on and they work. No on-site IT setup required.

  • Accessories

    Aria AV supplies a full range of accessories alongside tablet rentals so you receive a complete, event-ready solution. Available add-ons include Apple Pencil, Samsung S Pen, Bluetooth keyboards, floor and countertop kiosk enclosures, rugged protective cases, multi-unit charging carts, privacy screen filters, barcode and QR code scanners for registration, and card readers for mobile point-of-sale. Describe your use case during quoting and we'll recommend the right setup.

  • Insurance

    Aria AV offers a Damage Waiver that covers accidental damage to rental tablets during the event period for a low flat daily rate per unit — covering drops and cracked screens. The waiver does not cover theft or intentional damage. For large deployments, verify your event liability insurance also covers rented devices. All units are fully factory reset and wiped after every rental. Full documentation is provided for your insurer on request.

    100% Best Price Guarantee — if you receive a comparable written quote from another national provider, we will match or beat it.
