Planning a meeting in Las Vegas or attending a convention in Las Vegas and having to organize satellite events?
Meetings Venues for Whatever You Need
For a totally different and rocking good time, consider having a fun corporate or social event at the new KISS By Monster Mini Golf. The venue, themed entirely with all the wild and crazy glam madness of the legendary rock band itself, lets guests try their luck on an indoor glow-in-the-dark 18-hole miniature golf course and visit the arcade and gift shop while their main event is held in the wedding chapel, private room, one of the themed event rooms or the Rock ’n’ Roll All Nite cafe.

While some are sophisticated and some spectacularly silly, these Las Vegas venues will turn your event into something memorable and special. If a theme is the thing that will make your event sing, don’t hesitate checking out these great venues that will really bring a liveliness to your special occasion.

Golf Course Getaway
Not everyone visiting Las Vegas for business is ready or willing to hit the clubs, casinos and bars or to venture around the glitzy city. Fortunately, it is possible to immerse your colleagues in an inspirational setting outside the office without the fast-paced Strip activity. With more than 60 golf courses—several designed and built by renowned golf architects and elite superstars like Jack Nicklaus—and great weather year-round, the Las Vegas Valley is a golfer’s and event planner’s paradise. Conveniently, most of these upper-crust golf courses also come with richly appointed, elaborate clubhouses so you can have sophistication and convenience with an event at one of these fine establishments.

The benefits of booking your events at Las Vegas–area golf clubs are many, particularly the ease with which these locations help your group mix business with pleasure to create a productive and satisfying day away from the office. The private club experience in well-appointed meeting and banquet rooms or casual and upscale restaurant spaces is the perfect atmosphere for an event, especially when set against the properties’ beautifully manicured fairways often showcased through floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in natural lighting and stunning views to create a light, open and airy feel.

Golf course clubhouses provide excellent spaces for formal meetings, seminars, team-building programs and employee retreats or incentive play days. Having your group conduct their business at a golf club during the day works twofold. It allows them to focus on their primary goals in a meeting space away from the daily pressures of the office then provides the immediate reward of pleasurable camaraderie and networking on the greens during a friendly round of golf. Plus, many of the meeting rooms have full technological capabilities, including videoconferencing, multimedia technology, high-speed Internet access and state-of-the-art video equipment. Some properties even offer adjunct spaces, including e-lounges, document centers and workstations, to facilitate the business professional’s needs outside of the meeting rooms.

Golf course clubhouses also are spectacular venues for upscale social events, such as elegant galas, weddings, corporate entertaining and business dinners, banquets, receptions and other special events. Also don’t forget the option of arranging a full-scale corporate golf outing focused beyond the clubhouse to celebrate with clients or colleagues. Many of the golf courses even offer specially priced packages that combine golfing with reserved use of the clubhouse space to encourage time spent enjoying their properties and the convenience that it affords your group.

Another benefit of hosting your event at one of these golf clubs is that often the space booking comes with expert event-services personnel that provide everything from catering or menu selection to technological and logistical services that will help you impress your colleagues or inspire employees while making sure everything runs smoothly and professionally. Plus, many of the golf clubs even have their own restaurants or specialized on-site culinary teams that provide elegant food and beverage presentation and even personalized menu options to fit your needs.

Even if the club doesn’t have exactly what you need, many event teams will find the appropriate service contractors so everything reaches perfection. With this careful attention to detail and personalized service, the event teams strive to create a flawless, perfectly planned event for you and your guests, taking care of the planning and preparation so you can concentrate on your business and then go out and enjoy the links.

Spa-Savvy Sessions
For the ladies, a day at the golf course might not be their thing. In Las Vegas, event planners have another option to offer: world-class spa experiences available for individuals or groups. Most offer excellent group discounts and some offer space for private functions so attendees can take advantage of the spas’ luxurious amenities as an incentive or add-on to other events or perhaps even the event itself.
