Lavish Lodging

Las Vegas’ hotels offer catering services, convenient parking, state-of-the-art audiovisual amenities and meeting and exhibit space all designed to specifically meet the needs of the business community.

From national chains to distinctive boutique hotels and in between, Las Vegas has diversity in hotel housing to fit any budget. Also, event planners may look forward to working with some of the top professionals in the hotel industry while planning schedules, negotiating room rates and developing menus.

At the heart of Las Vegas are more than 30,000 hotel rooms designed to please even the savviest traveler. From creatively-designed resorts to large-scale, luxury chains, Las Vegas is equipped prepared for business travelers of all kinds. 

Because meeting planners are such a force in the hospitality industry, many national-chain hotels have designed web sites that aid in planning, with resources such as room availability and meeting space layouts. Additionally, many of these sites list readily available services and supplies, so event planners know exactly what to pack and what they can leave at the office. This is especially helpful for planners who prefer to handle meeting arrangements online.

Many meeting planners swear the best rates can be negotiated over the telephone. Many hotels in the city offer special group discounts and even throw in complimentary rooms or other services. If the meeting or event is not large enough to merit the group rate, many hotels also offer a corporate or government rate. Obtaining these rates is relatively simple and could cut the lodging cost of the meeting in half.

It is essential that meeting planners consider the needs of the group before choosing where meeting attendees will lay their heads. Meeting planners should consider their audience and the purpose of the meeting or event. For example, a meeting or event that includes many families would require entertainment options that were kid friendly and possibly casual dining options on-site. Considering the audience will ensure that the accommodations that are chosen are a perfect fit.

Las Vegas is unique in that it offers patrons the option of working, playing and staying all in the same location. Many hotels and resorts feature world-class restaurants, high-end shopping boutiques and gaming opportunities on-site. Unlike other destinations across the nation, Las Vegas has placed a great emphasis on making accommodations both practical and innovative. Mixed-use developments are revolutionizing the meeting industry and setting a precedent for what is expected around the world. This attention to detail is one reason why convention attendance goes up, on average, 18 percent when organizations choose to hold their meetings and events in Las Vegas.
