MGM GRAND Provides the Ultimate Meeting Location

LAS VEGAS – Las Vegas is known for many things. Excitement. Energy. Entertainment. Dining. Shopping. Nightlife. Casinos. And, conventions. With unique meeting venues, customized spa packages, special fitness hours and dedicated check-ins, MGM Grand not only captures the essence of Las Vegas, the resort creates a meeting or convention to remember. MGM Grand is “Maximum Meetings.”

MGM Grand prides itself on consistency of product and a superior level of service. The excellence of this meeting facility and its staff’s dedication has earned them the honor of being named North America’s leading conference hotel by the World Travel Awards for five consecutive years. With 16 Certified Meeting Planners on staff (CMPs) combined with 602,000 square feet of meeting space, including a 380,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art conference center and the 16,800-seat Grand Garden Arena, MGM Grand is the ideal meeting location.
“MGM Grand is a dynamic property with much to offer our meeting groups,” said Al Luciano, vice president of Sales for MGM Grand. “I enjoy seeing the ‘wow’ look on a person’s face when they visit MGM Grand. This resort offers the energy, entertainment and service that people both expect and deserve.”

For groups with blocks of 2,000-3,000 rooms looking for a meeting venue all to themselves and all under one roof, MGM Grand is the answer. Nowhere else in Las Vegas can groups of this size “own” the facility without sharing it with others. This unique offering is a tremendous advantage because groups enjoy an entire convention staff devoted just to them and their needs.

With the versatility of the conference center, MGM Grand also is a great choice for small groups. The Grand Meetings division specializes in providing outstanding service for small group business. The message behind Grand Meetings is that small meetings have a home here as well.

Conventioneers cannot survive on meetings alone. Award-winning restaurants, A-list entertainment, a relaxing spa and salon plus several nightlife options are among the amenities that create the “Maximum Meeting” experience.

Many of these venues can be used for private functions including Tabú Ultra Lounge, Studio 54 nightclub and the 53,000-square-foot WET REPUBLIC, Las Vegas’ first ultra pool which opened April 2008. Spa packages, complemented by a special check-in process, provide customized options for groups; the fitness center will offer special hours allowing attendees to stay in shape and stay alert; the front desk can create a dedicated check-in window for the group; and attendees may use the special conference concierge to book show or restaurant reservations.

With so many possibilities to create an event that meeting-goers will be talking about for years combined with a highly trained staff of CMPs at MGM Grand, a meeting planner’s job is made easy.
