MGM GRAND UNVEILS MARQUEE BALLROOM

LAS VEGAS – With the January 2008 opening of the Marquee Ballroom, MGM Grand expanded its award-winning meeting and convention space to an impressive 602,000 square feet. Certified Meeting Planners (CMPs) on staff, smoke-free meeting and convention facilities and a AAA Four Diamond property with numerous amenities add up to an ideal location for hosting both intimate meetings and large-scale events.
The Marquee Ballroom, a pillarless, 92,000-square-foot structure, is located next to the MGM Grand Conference Center. This multi-purpose building is capable of accommodating up to 6,000 guests in comfort and style. The space can be used for tradeshows, general sessions and catered functions of all sizes and types. Meeting planners will find the fully carpeted facility comes complete with floor-based power, wireless Internet access and convenient rigging points throughout.
“MGM Grand specializes in meetings of all sizes and functions,” said Luis Lamar, vice president of Sales for MGM Grand. “With the addition of the Marquee Ballroom, we offer even more meeting flexibility ensuring the needs of the planners are met.”
Conventioneers and meeting planners cannot survive on meetings alone. CMPs will assist in arranging both event-based activities as well as the ever-popular après-event options. Groups are afforded the opportunity to dine at award-winning restaurants such as the Michelin three star, Mobil Five-Star and AAA Five Diamond Joël Robuchon, experience A-list entertainment with Cirque du Soleil’s KÀ, relax and be pampered at Grand Spa and Cristophe Salon as well as indulge in several nightlife options.
The full-service staff will create the event of a lifetime at the only property that promises “Maximum Vegas” – MGM Grand.
