It might be better known as the entertainment capital of the work, but with countless hotels and a range of conference centres that are ideal for every type of business function, Las Vegas is also one of the most popular destinations for companies organising MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions) events.
Hardly surprising when your consider Las Vegas has been the number one tradeshow destination in North America for 20 years running and hosts around 20,000 MICE events every year.
…stays with you forever.
Situated in the Mojave Desert in the southern corner of Nevada, Las Vegas boasts 360 days of sunshine annually, but that’s not the main reason businesses choose Vegas for their MICE events. Las Vegas has around 150,000 hotel rooms ranging from the most standard to the most eclectic. And with 10.8 million square feet of meeting and exhibition space, including three of the United States largest convention centres, the city is a prime target for companies seeking an event location that has the optimum balance of amenities for mixing business with pleasure.
Take the Las Vegas Convention Center, as just one example. Situated right next to the Las Vegas strip – this is reputed to be one of the best designed MICE facilities in the world. Operated by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), it takes in some 3.2 million square feet, with exhibition space of up to 2 million square feet and 144 meeting rooms with 250,000 square feet of meeting space.
Getting there is convenient too. McCarran international airport is just two miles from the infamous Las Vegas strip. Despite being one of the busiest airports in the states with almost 50 million passengers annually, the international hub ranked number one, along with Orlando airport, for passenger satisfaction in a 2018 North American survey.
Add limitless restaurant and food options, premier sporting events, great shopping and world class golf courses and you’ve may just have discovered the perfect location for your next MICE event.
