Las Vegas’ first Executive Meeting Center, Park MGM’s Madison Meeting Center (MMC), caters to groups from 10 to 50 people. The 10,000-square-foot, modern-designed meeting space offers 10 flexible rooms, two self-service lounges, ergonomic moveable furniture with integrated power along with built-in audio/visual equipment and rolling whiteboards. Increasing the center’s appeal is the first Daily Meeting Package (DMP) offering on the Las Vegas Strip. The all-inclusive pricing allows meeting planners to pay a flat rate per attendee, providing convenience and cost efficiency. Many attendees want to maintain a healthy lifestyle as they travel, and the MMC accommodates this through Stay Well Meetings, exclusive to MGM Resorts. Stay Well Meetings is the most comprehensive wellness meeting experience featuring healthy environments that promote high-performance meetings by increasing attendees’ energy, focus and productivity through evidence-based elements.
The November 2018 opening of the 7,000-square-foot Ideation Studio has ushered in a new way for people to meet. Working with Cisco Systems, Park MGM is the first hotel in the world to offer groups Cisco Webex™ Boards and Cisco Webex Teams, which give teams a virtual meeting space as well as messaging, file sharing, whiteboarding and even video calling. Whether in the room or virtually connected, groups can collaborate, share messaging, notes, files, presentations across all devices and have access to all the notes and materials long after the meeting has ended. Beyond the technology, elements within the Ideation Studio are based on behavioral science and how people interact with the environment. Chair and table height, lighting, flooring and room configurations were selected to enhance engagement. With four distinct layouts and 10 rooms for groups of six up to 24, the variety of options provide the right solution for that next strategic planning session.
Mark Cooper, IACC’s CEO, said, “The designs of Park MGM’s Madison Meeting Center and Ideation Studio have taken into consideration many of the trends and preferences from meeting planners that IACC has identified through its research. The Park MGM leadership team has poured so much dedication and passion into developing a haven for small meetings and we look forward to bringing our own events to these inspiring meeting spaces in the future.”
With 80 percent of MGM Resorts’ groups at 100 guestrooms or less, the Madison Meeting Center and Ideation Studio reflect the company’s commitment to providing small groups exceptional choices.
