Increased Attendance

Let’s face it, it’s not exactly a hard sell to convince your team to go to Vegas because, truthfully, they already want to go. Studies show that the average attendance for business meetings and conventions increases by 9% when they’re held in Las Vegas. Additionally, research also reveals that attendees spend more time in meetings and on the trade show floor when programs are held in Vegas.

 

And since you’re hosting in Vegas, be sure to schedule a bit of those Only Vegas moments during your event. Book an impersonator, magician, illusionist or comedian into one of the keynote sessions. Making Las Vegas a part of your event inspires your employees to feel more engaged, more cared for, and more appreciated.

 

A Culinary Delight for Every Palate

Business dinners in Las Vegas cater to nearly every food connoisseur. Las Vegas offers a wide array of fine dining, each with its own flair, such as Le Cirque at Bellagio, CUT by Wolfgang Puck at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, and Jean Georges Steakhouse at ARIA Resort & Casino. All options serve an unceasing culinary cascade that excites and dazzles every palate. Get the inside dish on Jean Georges Steakhouse, along with a few other world-renowned restaurants below.

 

Ease of Transportation and Cost Savings

An abundance of top-tier hotels just five to 15 minutes away from the airport helps significantly reduce the need for long taxi, rideshare or bus travel. Harry Reid International Airport is located 2 miles from Las Vegas Boulevard and 3.5 miles from the Las Vegas Convention Center. With over 1,050 inbound and outbound flights daily, including direct service to nearly 150 U.S. and international cities, Las Vegas is easily accessible to your employees across the country or across the globe. This means businesses can expect to save money due to the direct flights and the destination’s one-stop shop offerings that puts nearly everything within walking distance.

 

Get Connected and Respected

You’ll impress the industry influencers in your crowd with live, tweetable and Instagram-able set pieces, especially for a younger, more digitally connected group who crave a strong social media-friendly venue. Having incredible internet bandwidth, broadcast studios (in some places), virtual reality experiences, live hosting, and contactless digital support for hybrid events help to make your event a resounding success.

 

Get to Know Your People Outside the Office

Consider conference venues and their accompanying entertainment in spaces that offer open floor plans with plenty of places to sit, chat and connect. If you so choose, there’s a near-limitless number of places to golf, dance and laugh at comedy routines, or check out world-famous singing acts or lounges to sip a few drinks and keep things low-key. Chances are, your employees, partners and team members will want to see the sights and sounds of all that the destination offers, and so oblige them by encouraging exploration and incorporating the spirit of discovery into the event by hosting group outings, such as Topgolf or something more out of the box, Lost Spirits Distillery at AREA15. The VEGAS ON team gives you a glimpse into the magic and enchantment that Lost Spirits has to offer.

 

Las Vegas has been a choice event destination since the opening of the Las Vegas Convention Center back in 1959. Today, it hosts nearly 20,000 conventions, trade shows and corporate get-togethers annually, offering incredible meeting venues, convention spaces, and business meetup destinations for professional gatherings of practically any size to meet your every need.

 

The reality is that an energized, engaged and entertained audience makes for a highly successful event, but don’t take our word for it, hear from others why they choose to host in Las Vegas. Sure, it’s important to be all about business, but when your people have a good time in Las Vegas, well, that reflects nicely on your company, the bottom line and, ultimately, you.
