Sometimes, you want more than business as usual. MGM Resorts offers a collection of the best in meeting resorts—turning ordinary meetings into extraordinary experiences.
With more than 4 million square feet of flexible meeting space, along with over 40,000 sleeping rooms and multiple theaters and arenas, in addition to best-in-class entertainment, there really is something for everyone. The best events leave attendees feeling inspired and refreshed, having enjoyed amenities that helped them feel better, live better, and work better. When you want that upgrade, MGM Resorts is the place to go.
That’s why the hospitality brand’s latest tagline for their meeting experience is “You Have to Be Here.” Here are some reasons why.
1. A World-Class Team
MGM Resorts takes service seriously—and its 81,000 global team members work daily to build strong relationships with clients and help craft an experience your attendees will never forget. The company prides itself in building diverse teams that can exceed the expectations of its increasingly diverse customer base, working to embed the principles and practices of inclusion into all aspects of MGM Resorts' culture, guest service, and operations.

Just as planners are committed to providing the best experience for attendees, MGM Resorts knows there is a responsibility to host events the right way—and that means focusing on social impact and sustainability. In addition to solar arrays and food donation programs, MGM Resorts’ world-famous Fountains of Bellagio, for example, are fed with water from on-site wells. What’s more, more than 90% of the water in the awe-inspiring Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay is reused, and MGM Resorts has replaced more than 200,000 square feet of grass across its resorts with water-efficient alternatives.Another fun fact? Through its Feeding Forward program, MGM Resorts has given more than 5 million meals to local communities in need.

3. Unique Venues That Spark Creativity
Sometimes, a meeting calls for something other than a traditional ballroom setup (though MGM Resorts has plenty of those, too!). Surrounding yourself with inspiration is the first step to creating inspirational work, which is why MGM Resorts offers convention spaces that are designed to awe: from holding a meeting overlooking the serene ARIA Pool at Ironwood Terrace, to booking a conference at a renowned concert venue like Park MGM’s Dolby Live.4. New and Improved Event Spaces
MGM Resorts prioritizes continuous reinvestment in new and updated spaces to elevate its meeting experiences. At the refreshed Mandalay Bay Convention Center, for example, conference rooms are equipped with technology designed for business, including 11 new dynamic digital walls designed for brand placements, sponsorship opportunities, and targeted event messaging throughout the day.5. A Venue for Every Event Size
MGM Resorts offers over 4 million square feet of flexible meeting space, accommodating just about any event's needs—from intimate seminars and small leadership retreats to corporate conferences to large-scale trade shows. The company’s dedicated team works tirelessly to bring your vision to life, ensuring each space has the right configuration to best accommodate your group size—ensuring comfort, style, and effectiveness every step of the way.6. Wellness Activities for Groups
It’s crucial to take care of yourself before you take care of business—and MGM Resorts offers a wide selection of amenities designed to keep guests on their A-game during their stay. In addition to five-star spas and salons and an array of pools and fitness centers, MGM Resorts offers meetings-focused wellness activities like Yoga on the Beach at Mandalay Bay or brain-boosting meals from the catering team.

From first-class room amenities to several Forbes Five-Star Spas like the Spa and Salon at ARIA and the Spa at Vdara, MGM Resorts properties promise unparalleled luxury at every touchpoint. But it’s also about function: properties like the New York New York Hotel & Casino, for example, are newly refreshed with modern conveniences like moveable work surfaces, USB/USB-C power outlets, and extra closet space and shelving.8. Integration of Entertainment and Sports
As one of the largest entertainment companies in the world, MGM Resorts is uniquely positioned to integrate top-tier entertainment and sports into your meeting or event.

Or, cater to sports fans by catching a game together at one of the company’s many sports-centric bars and restaurants.9. Fine Dining to Keep the Networking Going
In Las Vegas, business doesn’t stop when the official event schedule wraps—and MGM Resorts properties have a slew of exciting, celebrity chef-led restaurants to keep the conversation going over an exceptional meal. New restaurants and bars from the likes of Chef Wolfgang Puck, Chef Michael Mina, and even The Pinky Ring by Bruno Mars are great spots to take a client or impress a VIP.10. A Suite of Luxury Resorts
