• Saturdays tend to be the most popular day. Try booking your party on a Friday or even better, Monday-Thursday.
• Select a venue that provides some type of holiday d?cor; decorations can add up quickly.
• Depending on the menu for your guests, sometimes plated dinners are more cost effective in a banquet setting than a buffet.
• Choose a venue that doesn't charge a room rental fee and won't charge for power usage for your DJ.
• Go for a venue that does not charge extra for tables, chairs, linens, dance floor, etc. The less extras that are added to the price, the lower you can keep your budget.
• Ask about discounted room rates for your guests. When booking an event, resorts are usually willing to work with you to accommodate guests overnight.
• Choose a venue with access to an outdoor area so your guests don't have to leave your party to smoke in a casino or other designated areas.
• Ask for a quote with all taxes, gratuities and additional fees included so you can anticipate the grand total of the event.
• If you have a specific budget, don't be afraid to ask what can be afforded within the limits of your budget. Event planners are there to help you stay within the means for your party.

There are a lot of choices when it comes to meeting space in the city of Las Vegas. In fact, Las Vegas has more than 10.5 million square feet of exhibit space! For our part, we currently offer 60,000 square feet of meeting space and if you've ever wandered around the spa level of M (below our casino floor) you may have noticed how convenient our meeting space is to our guest room elevators and the ideal flow our space offers for breakouts, general sessions and catered events. Our resort has a 17,000 square foot ballroom and multiple meeting rooms to house groups of 50 to 2,000. Our talented team can also turn any of our restaurants into magical spaces for special events or even our outdoor pool piazza that can accommodate up to 6,000 people!

Over the course of the last year two years we've been fortunate to host groups large and small with a demand for even more space! So, next month we'll be providing more of that much-needed extra space with the opening of the M Pavilion. The Pavilion will add 25,000 square feet of flexible space to our portfolio. It will provide enough space for concerts, large-scale galas, exhibitors and more. The Pavilion will have 45-foot ceilings and can hold a seated concert for up to 3,000 people. For more details we went in search of our Vice President of Sales, Drew Varga. Watch the video to hear what he had to say about the new M Pavilion and most importantly, why you should consider if for your next event!
