Business as Not So Usual

As business travelers know, attending meetings all day can be exhausting. Thanks to MGM Grand’s new room renovations, you’ll be able to attend a meeting right from your room.

We’re upgrading to flat-screen TVs with a media hub to plug in various devices and allow guests to do presentations right over the TV.” That’s just one of the many upgrades our guests will experience upon completion of The Grand Renovation.

Check out the newly Redesigned Ballroom.

MGM Grand has the facilities and amenities to make any meeting a success. And with our newly redesigned ballroom, meetings are more impressive than ever. We installed beautiful new carpet in cream, red, charcoal and grey colors. Our room dividers have been covered in a taupe silk fabric look, and we have new custom built credenzas. The Studio Ballroom contains over 10,000 square feet of space, and is perfect for functions of 600 to 1,000 people. The ballroom can be split into two studios and two foyers of varying sizes. Schedule your next meeting here and let us know what you think of the new design.

And the lighting is strategically placed for added comfort. But don’t worry, these rooms are ready to party when you are.
