“The Mandalay Bay Convention Center, located at 3950 S Las Vegas Blvd on the south end of the Strip, is one of the largest privately owned convention venues in the world, offering 2.1 million square feet across three levels. A recent $100 million renovation added modern design, high density Wi‑Fi, and customizable LED displays, complementing its status as the largest solar‑powered convention center in the U.S. With direct access to Mandalay Bay, Delano, and…”
“We came here for Cosmoprof, and wow, we were truly impressed by this convention center. It’s modern, spacious, and very well organized. Definitely a 10/10 experience.”
“I'm always impressed with Conventions here. It's massive so you're never pressed for space. Catering services are excellent. And the overpriced food court is tremendously convenient. Ample security who are friendly and knowledgeable. I prefer Freeman BY FAR for events here. But GES, T3 and LVE are fine communicating, navigating and moving quick-ish, as well”
“Really an amazing place to go to a conference at. It is huge. I attended a Google Next conference and it was a great experience.”
“We attended HYROX to watch our kids compete. The convention center was the perfect size and we were incredibly impressed with the HYROX group that ran a very organized endurance competition. THEY WERE KIND and cheered on all competitors. The competition ran so smoothly and there were over 2000 competing. The professional photographers took amazing pictures of the competitors during the competition. We ate at Johnny Rockets while we were there.”
