THE TOP 10 REASONS TO MEET IN VEGAS

From stunning suites to breathtaking views and unparalleled service at every turn, our resorts offer the experiences guests will only find in Las Vegas.  

Space, space and more space. Las Vegas has nearly 14 million square feet of exhibit and meeting space and is home to three of the country’s 10 largest convention venues: the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, a 2 million-square-foot center on the south Strip; the 1.7 million-square-foot Sands Expo and Convention Center (includes 500,000 square feet of The Venetian/Palazzo meeting space); and the 2.9 million-square-foot Las Vegas Convention Center. Other notable convention spaces include the 550,000-square-foot CAESARS FORUM and the 850,000-square-foot MGM Grand Conference Center. 

 

The attractiveness of Las Vegas generates strong attendance for meetings. On average, attendance increases 8%* when conventions rotate into Las Vegas. Research also shows that attendees spend more time in meetings and on the trade show floor when programs are held in Las Vegas. This year, the destination joined the virtual/hybrid format conversation and found ways to bring the destination’s palpable energy to several events. Additionally, resorts and venues across the destination are at the forefront of technological capabilities and advancement – including incredible internet bandwidth, broadcast studios in some places, virtual reality, live hosting, and contactless digital processes – all necessary for hybrid events.

With multiple inbound and outbound flights every day and nonstop service from most major cities, Las Vegas is easy on your time and budget.

With highly experienced resort staff at every level of engagement, Las Vegas will provide the best convention experience in the world. Our resorts hosted 6.6 million meeting, convention and incentive delegates in 2019 with programs built to accommodate groups of any size. Leading the way in convention facility disease outbreak prevention, the Las Vegas Convention Center, Sands Expo, Resorts World and McCarran International Airport have been awarded the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) STAR™ Facility Accreditation by ISSA: The Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association, the benchmark for safe facilities.

McCarran International Airport is conveniently located just 2 miles from Las Vegas Boulevard and 3.5 miles from the Las Vegas Convention Center, with most hotels located within a 15-minute drive from the airport.

Las Vegas averages 320 days of sunshine per year and fewer than five inches of precipitation annually. This warm, dry climate is attractive for meetings year-round. 

In many cases, the close proximity of Las Vegas hotels eliminates the need for transportation as delegates can walk to many destinations. When transportation is required, however, Las Vegas offers myriad options including bus, taxi, Uber/Lyft, shuttles, the country’s first automated monorail, and the innovative, underground transportation system, the Convention Center Loop.

Few other cities in the world can cater to your cravings like Las Vegas. Whether you’re in the mood for world-class restaurants, prepared to-go boxes, custom menus made to fit your needs, or a wide range of contactless dining options, only Vegas is built to keep you satisfied and hungry for more.
