Planning a meeting in Las Vegas or attending a convention in Las Vegas and having to organize satellite events?
| Luxury Transportation for a Successful Event |
To budget or not to budget? That doesn’t necessarily have to be the question when deciding on whether or not to utilize corporate luxury transportation. The common misconception is that luxury transportation, due to all of the added amenities these vehicles have to offer, costs significantly more than a standard sedan or SUV. As a result, many planners are choosing to make more conservative decisions when arranging the transportation for their incoming attendees. That’s a smart move considering the current state of affairs, but it doesn’t have to be the defining trend of the industry.
For our money, we’d say that luxury transportation is one of the defining elements of the Las Vegas event experience. And with so many discounts, incentive programs and corporate group packages offered by national and local service providers, planners may actually spend less by going the luxury route. Planners should make a thorough side-by-side comparison of both options and determine which one is better suited to their budget and event objectives. Even if the luxury tally is slightly higher than the more basic option, consider the benefits of giving your clients just a bit of showmanship on wheels.
We’ve also found that many planners approach transportation from a logistics point-of-view, with very little creativity going into the equation. However, transportation is the perfect vehicle (no pun intended) for showing that you’re committed to developing innovative itineraries rather than cookie cutter corporate experiences. Don’t just think about how attendees are going to get to their meeting destinations from their hotels. Think about everything in between. Whether it’s during convention hours or long after the workday has ended, planners can ensure that every moment of an attendee’s stay in Vegas is a memorable one, even in transit.
PARTY BUS BLOWOUT
Business meeting planners are often asked by their clients or employing companies to orchestrate a bit of fun time for their hardworking trade show or convention attendees. Trade show and convention attendees differ from professionals who are in town for business meetings, training seminars or awards banquets in that their stay is usually longer by several days and nights. That means they’ll be spending more time at work and will want to spend even more time at play.
Setting aside a specific night or two for a group outing will build anticipation among the select group of attendees, and to fully enjoy the evening, they’ll most likely pass on other opportunities to enjoy the nightlife, which will result in more productivity on strictly work days. However, that means planners will have to make good on their promises to deliver a night to remember. What better way to do that than by treating your clients to a tour of the Strip on a world-class party bus?
All you need to know about party buses is that they’re essentially private moveable nightclubs. When these unique vehicles were first introduced into the market, they were primarily booked for bachelor and bachelorette parties for obvious reasons, built-in stripper poles included. However, now it’s the vehicle of choice for professionals who want to reward their employees for a job well done or to show potential clients a good time. With so much formality in the workplace, it’s good for potential business partners to see the human side of the suit they may have future dealings with.
VIPnVegas offers one of the best models of party busses in town for both hourly and charter rates. Their signature party buses run 14 inches off the ground, allowing the riders inside to dance while the vehicle is in motion. It’s the perfect way for groups of up 24 passengers to enjoy the Las Vegas nightlife without having to interrupt the synergy between venues. Imagine your group being able to hit all of the popular hotspots on the Strip without having to worry about their well-being since the only person behind the wheel will be a qualified and professionally trained chauffeur. You can also arrange for party buses to tour the Freemont Street Experience or other Las Vegas nightlife attractions. The possibilities are endless when everyone is having a good time.
THE ELEGANCE OF SUV LIMOUSINES
Las Vegas has helped transform SUVs from being a family-friendly vehicle to one that adults of all ages can enjoy. Those spacious interiors come in handy, especially when handling large groups with significant amounts of luggage and equipment. SUV limousines have taken the model to new levels of sophistication and comfort. There are several varieties of SUV limos on the market, including Cadillac Escalades, Lincoln Navigators and Hummer limousines. However, the past event season has seen the rise and sudden dominance of the Excursion limousine, the model of choice for groups of up to 20 passengers.
Excursion limousines feature a customized chasse, providing more room for maximum storage and rider comfort. Imagine the amenities of a party bus, but just on a smaller, seated scale. Strobe lights, flat screen televisions and leather upholstery create a lounge atmosphere that’s great for short commutes or longer tours of the city. Double Down Transportation, Inc. is one of the most well-known suppliers of Excursion and other SUV limousines. Every vehicle in their fleet is outfitted with the latest audiovisual technology and the most posh interiors in the city. With some of the most competitive rates in town, upgrading to an Excursion limousine with Double Down is a decision budget savvy planners won’t regret.
