Continued from 21 Eye-Popping Las Vegas Event Venues
Encore at the Wynn
Capacity: 1630 Reception
Location: 3131 Las Vegas Blvd S
Great For: Professional Conventions
Arguably Las Vegas’s most famous last name, the Wynn is a hotel and Casino with no shortage of unique event spaces. But our pick is Encore — a 60,000 square-foot jaw-dropper comprised of three ballrooms, 17 meeting rooms, and a 20,000 square-foot ballroom. The combination of large spaces and smaller rooms makes it the ideal spot for a professional convention that will host both large group sessions and smaller breakouts.
Inspire
Capacity: 150 Theatre / Inquire for Larger Groups
Location: 501 Fremont St
Great For: High-Energy Parties
In the heart of downtown, Inspire (a collection of multiple venues) is a nightlife destination. Perfect for a lively reunion or celebratory company party, Inspire’s lounges and spaces are anything but dull. Be sure to check out their rooftop bar, and don’t forget the most important ingredient: choosing from among their multiple in-house DJ’s.
Mandalay Bay Convention Center
Capacity: 12,000
Location: 3950 Las Vegas Blvd S
Great For: Conventions, Trade Shows
Just how much meeting space does the Mandalay Bay Convention Center offer? Are you sitting down? Two. Million. Known for its boxing events and blockbuster concerts, the Mandalay Bay also plays host to a wide variety of more subtle company events throughout the year. This is one space where you won’t have to worry about maximum occupancy. Is an 800,000-square foot ballroom too large for you? The complex has more than one hundred additional spaces that may suit you better.
Centrifuge
Capacity: 150 Seated / 200 Standing
Location: 3799 Las Vegas Blvd S
Great For: After-Parties
One of the most inventive spaces in the MGM Grand, Centrifuge is an ultra-modern space featuring a round room and a revolving centerpiece bar. Glowing LEDs cast a sleek and futuristic vibe perfect for an after party. Up to 150 people can be accommodated when seated, or 200 for a standing cocktail hour.
World Market Center
Capacity: 57,000 (Standing)
Location: 495 S Grand Central Pkwy
Great For: Networking events, Trade Shows, Conventions
Unlike many of the design-heavy venues of Las Vegas, World Market Center is a blank canvas (and they’re proud of it.) A massive space especially well-suited for conventions and trade shows, World Market Center staff truly becomes an event planner’s wingman. If you’re planning it, chances are, they’ve done it ten times before.
1923 Bourbon Bar
Capacity: 150 Seated / 450 Standing
Location: 3930 Las Vegas Blvd S Ste 200B
Great For: Bachelor Parties, Company Parties, Rehearsal Dinners
Let’s get classy, Vegas. The 1923 Bourbon Bar is just what you’d expect: a speakeasy that takes visitors back in time to an era of dark wood, dapper clothing, and stiff drinks. A welcome break from the hypermodern appeal of the Las Vegas Strip, and a fabulous place to host guests while having an audible conversation.
Hard Rock Hotel
Capacity: 8000
Location: 4455 Paradise Rd
Great For: Conventions, Conferences, Large Parties
The ubiquitous Hard Rock Hotel name is back on the event venue map again, thanks to a recent $60 million renovation. 110,000 of earth-conscious space is supported by quality catering, massive meeting rooms, mouth-watering dining options, and plush accommodations.
