LAS VEGAS— The MGM Grand has broke ground on an approximately $130-million expansion of its conference center.
The MGM Grand Conference Center is adding 250,000 sq. ft. for a total of more than 850,000 sq. ft. As part of the expansion, Stay Well Meetings—the industry’s first-ever wellness meetings experience, which launched at the hotel in 2014—will expand its footprint by 22,000 sq. ft. Stay Well Meetings has amenities and programs that stimulate healthy, productive and creative work environments that many clients are actively seeking.
“Additions include a 5,500-sq.-ft. outdoor courtyard, a 49,000-sq.-ft. ballroom, a 32,000-sq.-ft. ballroom, three junior ballrooms and 11 breakout rooms. The resort’s unique meeting spaces include the standalone 92,000-sq.-ft. Marquee Ballroom and the 16,800-seat Grand Garden Arena.
The project is scheduled for completion at the end of 2018.
