Grander Meetings

MGM GRAND

M 102

GM GRAND DELIVERS the ultimate in Las Vegas excitement — and it’s all about to be taken to another level. A 360-degree property renovation is currently underway that will transform

the hotel from top to bottom, including everything from the guest rooms to the restaurants, entertain- ment venues, and nightclubs. It’s a new design, new experience, and a whole new MGM Grand. From small corporate functions to large conven-

tions, MGM Grand provides flexible facilities and an award-winning staff of certified meeting profession- als to plan every flawless event. More than 600,000 square feet of meeting space can be adapted for meetings of all sizes, including the 380,000-square- foot Grand Conference Center and the recently added 92,000-square-foot Marquee Ballroom. MGM Grand’s relaxed yet contemporary guest

rooms have been updated with plush linens, a vibrant color palette, and sleek zebrawood furnishings. Room amenities are never an after- thought, with LCD TVs, a media hub, and a complete mini-bar. Other accommodation options include 700 boutique-style rooms in the West Wing; the luxurious two-story SKYLOFTS, with stellar views of the Strip; or the lavish suites at The Signature, a non-smoking, non- gaming retreat connected to MGM Grand. Some of the world’s greatest culinary legends can be found under

MGM Grand’s roof. Known as “The Chef of The Century,” Joël Robu- chon delivers exquisite French cuisine with dramatic flair at his two namesake restaurants, both of which have earned rankings from the Michelin Guide. Celebrity chef Tom Colicchio showcases the best of farm-to-table fare at Craftsteak, and straight from SoHo, FiAMMA serves traditional Italian cuisine in a sleek and sexy space. Entertainment at MGM Grand never fails to inspire wonder and

delight. KÀ, the unprecedented show from Cirque du Soleil, presents theater to the extreme with a heart-pounding performance that fuses acrobatics and martial arts, and guests can feel the bass-thumping pulse of Vegas’ hottest nightlife at the red-hot Rouge and Studio 54. For the ultimate in relaxation, the Grand Spa offers 30,000 square

feet of spa serenity, and the 6.6-acre Grand Pool Complex weaves private cabanas through a maze of waterfalls, lazy rivers, five swim-

ming pools, and three whirlpools. For a more upbeat pool experience, guests can opt for “daylife” at Wet Republic Ultra Pool. n
