01 Why Atomic

Anyone can hand a child a balloon dog. That is not what you are buying.

You are buying the moment the room turns around. The photo that gets posted. The thing your guests describe to someone else a week later. That outcome is not a commodity, and it is not produced by a hobbyist with a pump.

01

A champion is a different job title.

Thirteen championship wins — starting with two first-place categories at his very first contest in 2005. Championship-level twisting is faster, cleaner and dramatically more ambitious than what a general entertainer can build on site.

02

Built for your event, not from a catalogue.

Your brand's mascot. Your bride's dress. Your film's villain. A nine-foot King Kong from 3,000+ balloons. If it can be imagined, it gets built — themed to the event rather than pulled off a shelf.

03

Vegas-grade reliability.

Casinos, corporate activations and 24-hour turnarounds are the normal week here. Available every day of the year, across the valley and beyond — with a full entertainment bench behind the balloons.

In the press

Museum-scale, and covered like it.

In summer 2024 Jeremy was one of the artists behind Balloon Story at New York's Park Avenue Armory — a 55,000 sq ft immersive exhibition built from more than 600,000 balloons. ABC7 New York interviewed him on the floor about how the jungle animals were engineered.

04 The champion

He started at seven. He has not really stopped.

Jeremy Johnston picked up his first balloon at age seven in Mesa, Arizona, and has spent his life on the craft. At his first competition in 2005 he took first place in two judged categories. Thirteen championship titles later, he is one of a very small number of artists working at this level anywhere.

In 2012 he moved the company to Las Vegas — the entertainment capital of the world — and now works casinos, corporate floors and private events across the valley. Along the way: a nine-foot King Kong built from more than 3,000 balloons, and a life-size Wicked Witch scene made entirely from uninflated balloons.

In 2024 he was one of the artists behind Balloon Story at New York's Park Avenue Armory — 55,000 square feet and 600,000+ balloons — where ABC7 New York interviewed him about engineering the jungle animals.

"A clear standout."

Reviews from private hosts, school and community events, weddings and corporate floors.

★★★★★

Jeremy is truly an artist with an amazing talent which comes to life right in front of you. Among an evening of artists, he was a clear standout.

Ryan F.
★★★★★

Atomic turned around a birthday surprise in a little over 24 hours. They TURNED IT OUT. So creative — we more than got our money's worth.

Chocolate Cupcake J.
★★★★★

He did my wedding decorations and they were amazing, to say the least. Best balloon artist I've ever seen.

Brandi N.
★★★★★

I became familiar with ABC because I was at the Capriotti's event recently and couldn't believe the talent!

Abby H.
★★★★★

We hired Jeremy to create balloon art for the kids at our community party and we were more than impressed.

07 Questions

Before you book.

Still unsure? Call or text (702) 969-5689 — we answer, day or night.

Because it is a different product, bought from a different budget. An hourly balloon entertainer is $125–$285 an hour and books out of the party budget. What we do is a commissioned centrepiece with a champion building it live, and it books out of the event or marketing budget — where a specialty act typically starts around $4,500. We sit deliberately below that, and we are not competing with the hourly market at all.

If an hourly entertainer is genuinely what your event needs, we will tell you honestly and point you somewhere good.

The sooner the better — Saturdays and holiday weekends go first. That said, we have turned around full custom surprises in a little over 24 hours, so it is always worth asking. Send your date and we will tell you straight away whether it is open.

Anything you can name. From a small character in a guest's hand to a nine-foot King Kong built from more than 3,000 balloons. Brand mascots, film characters, life-size people, wearable couture, walk-through tunnels, arches and full-room installations — all of it gets themed to your event.

Yes. Alongside balloon artistry and decor we provide face painting, caricature art, airbrush, stilt walking, juggling and other party entertainment — so one booking covers the whole floor instead of four separate vendors.

Las Vegas and the surrounding valley — Summerlin, Henderson, Enterprise, Centennial Hills and North Las Vegas — are all covered. Out-of-state events are welcome with a travel fee, and we have talented artists in multiple states.

Absolutely. Tell us three things — the style of delivery, the theme, and the address — and we hand-craft a personalised balloon delivery and bring it right to the door. Same-day is often possible.

We are open to entertain or deliver 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Late-night casino floors and 6am grand openings are both normal here.
