Planning a meeting in Las Vegas or attending a convention in Las Vegas and having to organize satellite events?
CityCenter: the epitome of what makes Las Vegas a great event destination
Mandarin Oriental also serves as an excellent meeting and event destination. The Oriental Ballroom sits three floors above Las Vegas Boulevard and features floor-to-ceiling windows (with automated blackout shades) as well as an intimate outdoor patio. Adjacent to a grand pre-function foyer overlooking CityCenter, the ballroom is divisible into three sections and features custom-built hardwood panels on the moveable walls to ensure elegant décor for both large and small events. Plus, meeting planners have individual wireless control of ballroom projectors, screens, lighting and temperature. With natural light and sophisticated technology tailored to your meeting’s needs, the Lotus and Jade function spaces can be reserved alone or combined for 56 guests. The Mandarin Boardroom is an impressive executive boardroom that seats up to 20 with large windows that flood the room with natural light. The pool deck is a unique outdoor venue situated on the eighth floor with views over the gleaming heights of CityCenter. Its private cabanas are ideal for varied food or cocktail booths, or the space can be used for a sophisticated scene with live music or sit-down dinners for up to 150 guests. Mandarin Oriental also offers full convention and catering services.

The Mandarin Oriental’s sumptuous dining options begin at the 23rd-floor Sky Lobby. Twist by Pierre Gagnaire showcases inventive fusion cuisine while MOzen Bistro features international diversity from sushi to Indian delicacies to Thai delights. Other spaces include the dynamic Mandarin Bar, the relaxing Tea Lounge and the Pool Café on the eighth-floor pool deck.

One of the hotel’s many treasures is its comprehensive spa facility. With 27,000 square feet on two floors, The Spa at Mandarin Oriental evokes the splendor of 1930s Shanghai. The spa menu showcases holistic treatments designed to uplift the mind, body and soul. Its 17 treatment rooms allow for privacy and individual attention to maximize the relaxing and soothing effects of the therapies.

In this sophisticated, cosmopolitan setting, Vdara asserts its position as the premier conference facility for elaborate conventions, traditional meetings and glamorous social affairs, offering convention services from beginning to end to make your event a success. Aesthetics and location play a vital role in setting the tone in the Viñoly Grand Ballroom. With natural materials, such as warm wood, sandstone and pebbles, this contemporarily designed meeting space just inside the main hotel entrance is the only choice for comfort and convenience, sitting a reception of 300 or dividing into two separate spaces. Three additional spaces called Rafaels I, II and II each seat 50 or 85 for a cocktail reception.
