Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino

Set on 60 acres at the beginning of the Las Vegas Strip, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino combines 1.7 million square feet of meeting space with 4,328 accommodations and one of the world’s great lineups of entertainment options. Highlights include an 11-acre beach with wave pool, plus a lazy river, three pools, jogging track, 135,000-square-foot casino, 30,000-square-foot spa and fitness center, Broadway-style theater featuring Disney’s The Lion King, and Events Center seating up to 12,000 people. Twenty-four lounges and restaurants range from casual to gastronomic meccas led by celebrity chefs.

Planners find the 1.7 million square feet of meeting and exhibit space concentrated at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. It contains four ballrooms—including the largest pillarless ballroom on the west coast—and enough breakout space to hold more than 75 meetings at once. Despite the vast size and scope of meeting possibilities, separate convention, trade show,
and executive meetings teams see to planners’ needs individually—then at least one manager per group oversees everything on the spot.

Productive days of meetings or nights on the town end in stylish contemporary accommodations equipped with the latest twenty-first century amenities. A 43-story tower on the property, THEhotel, adds another 1,117 suites for VIPs; Four Seasons Hotels manages another 424 rooms in the main tower; and neighboring Mandalay Place adds another 40 shops and restaurants. In the unlikely event that anyone ever needs additional options, a monorail system connects to the Luxor and Excalibur hotels, which pulsate day and night at the very heart of The Strip. There are no packages available at this time.
