Las Vegas boasts countless fully equipped meeting facilities to host your next business event or gathering. It’s the perfect place to create a memorable, unique experience for your attendees with access to incredible shows and exquisite celebrity-chef dining options. It’s no surprise that in 2024, according to the 2024 LVCVA Visitor Profile Study, 47% of attendees at corporate meetings and conventions said they were more interested in attending the event because it was held in Vegas.
From corporate retreats to large-scale conventions, the destination delivers both flexibility and value. Below are more statistics about the destination that make the case to host in Vegas.
Bringing People Together, on a Grand Scale
Las Vegas isn’t just equipped to host events of all sizes—it’s built for it. There are 150,000+ rooms on the Strip, offering plenty of places to stay that fit any budget and group size needs.
In 2024, Las Vegas conventions welcomed 6 million attendees*—underscoring the destination’s status as a global hub for meetings and trade shows. That same year, over 58 million passengers passed through Harry Reid International Airport, serving more than 150 U.S. and international cities with direct flights, which is good news for planning a large event with attendees arriving from across the world. Having the infrastructure to match that demand, the destination offers an incredible range of venues—from 65,000 to over 2.1 million square feet—adding up to nearly 15 million square feet of meeting and exhibition space citywide.
Las Vegas is home to some of the most industry-leading convention centers in the entire U.S.**, including the Las Vegas Convention Center, Mandalay Bay Convention Center and The Venetian Expo. Each offer state-of-the-art capabilities, flexible floor plans, and direct access to some of the destination’s best dining, entertainment and hospitality. As one of the largest and most technologically advanced facilities in the country, the Las Vegas Convention Center alone boasts 2.9 million square feet of event space—making it a cornerstone of the city’s meetings and conventions landscape.

How Las Vegas Is Designing a Smarter, Cleaner Destination
Green innovation is quickly becoming central to how the destination powers its future. City leaders and convention planners are embracing forward-thinking sustainability practices that reduce environmental impact on a broad scale—from water-wise landscaping to all-electric transportation systems that support a cleaner, greener Strip.
These individual efforts are part of a larger, destination-wide commitment to sustainability that also includes the Las Vegas Convention Center saving over 1M gallons of water annually by using desert landscaping on its grounds. Furthermore, it is reducing fuel consumption by promoting the use of alternate energy and using all-electric vehicles in the Vegas Loop at Las Vegas Convention Center. In addition, the Las Vegas Monorail is another zero-emissions transportation option along the Strip.
Even major events like Grand Prix Plaza are embracing sustainability. The home of the Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix recently earned LEED Silver® certification, thanks to energy-efficient design, drought-tolerant landscaping, and an innovative atmospheric water generator that offsets its entire annual water use. During the 2024 event, organizers diverted 75,000 pounds of food scraps from landfills and donated over 171,000 pounds of food.
Inside Resorts’ Efforts Toward Greener Hospitality
Sustainability is also a value being driven forward by Vegas’ biggest resorts and event venues. Through bold investments in solar energy, advanced water conservation and large-scale food rescue programs, industry leaders are transforming the visitor experience while minimizing environmental impact at every level.
MGM Resorts International has a well-established CSR program with projects that include environmental programs, inclusivity initiatives and sustainability goals, operating a 100-megawatt solar array that powers 11 of its properties and produces up to 90% of the company’s daytime energy needs. Since 2007, its Strip resorts have conserved over 16 billion gallons of water by replacing turf, reusing water in aquariums and fountains and installing high-efficiency fixtures. MGM’s Feeding Forward program has also donated more than 5 million meals to local organizations.
Caesars Entertainment is dedicated to mitigating climate change by reducing energy consumption and water and food waste through various initiatives, aiming for 60% waste diversion by 2025 with initiatives like its CodeGreen program. Together with MGM, Caesars also supports Three Square Food Bank through large-scale food recovery programs.
The Venetian partners with The Just One Project to turn surplus food into over 180,000 meals, while its water reuse systems repurpose 25 million gallons annually. Wynn Las Vegas diverts over 40% of its waste, eliminates single-use plastics at events, and supports global hygiene access through Clean the World. Resorts World Las Vegas, a LEED Gold Certified property, runs entirely on renewable energy and diverted 80% of its construction waste from landfills.
To multinational brands, businesses and corporations, this destination is where the world’s most influential and recognizable names come to make a successful, measured and dynamic impact. And while it excels at delivering results inside the boardroom, you can make the most of your time beyond by exploring how to experience Vegas like a local or discover how it delivers value at every turn for your next business meeting.
