Enhancements Feature Upgraded Technology
and Bright, Refreshing Spaces Designed for Next Generation of
Meetings and Events
LAS
VEGAS, Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/
-- Recognized as one of the country's preeminent meeting and
trade show destinations, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino unveiled
details today around the $100 million
remodel of its 2.1 million-square-foot convention center.
Reflecting the evolving needs and preferences of contemporary
meetings, significant technology upgrades, dynamic digital signage
and a fresh, new design complementing Mandalay Bay's tropical
ambiance highlight the remodel.
"With Mandalay Bay home to many of the city's top events and
trade shows year after year, we recognized the need to upgrade the
space to reflect modern-day needs and create a timeless design
complemented by our premier service experience," said Ernest Stovall, Vice President of Sales for
Mandalay Bay. "We listened to feedback from meeting planners over
recent years and are confident this refreshed and upgraded space
will exceed their needs and expectations in every way."
Technology Enhancements
Understanding the increasing
demand for consistent, robust communication, Mandalay Bay recently
installed entirely new Cat6A Ethernet cabling throughout its
convention center as part of the overall transformation. Cat6A
doubles the frequency of data transmission and increases the speed
up to 9,400% -- the equivalent of downloading a 4K movie in 30 seconds.
Planners will now have new ways to communicate with attendees
through 11 new dynamic digital walls measuring up to 24' x 13',
designed for brand placements, sponsorship opportunities and
targeted event messaging throughout the day. Attendees will
appreciate the addition of 20 double-sided 55" mobile flexible
display units, enabling them to find their meeting rooms and events
with ease and convenience.
Additional technology enhancements will include RFID locks on
all meeting room doors as an added convenience for meeting planners
as well as the installation of 200+ new motion detection cameras
throughout all spaces.
Redesigned Space
As attendees enter the newly
remodeled convention space, they will experience a refreshingly
bright and vibrant environment complementing Mandalay Bay's
tropical-inspired brand.
Envisioned by MGM Resorts International Design Group, in
collaboration with Las Vegas-based
Dezmotif Studios, the space will reflect contemporary design
elements and also takes into consideration the importance of
practical enhancements such as brighter lighting, streamlined
signage and inviting seating nooks for on-the-go attendees.
White-washed walls and ceilings, and bold floral patterns
featuring cerulean and coral tones will be accentuated by warm
walnut accent walls, providing a refreshing, tropical landscape for
a meetings experience only Mandalay Bay can offer.
In addition to the complete remodel of all pre-function spaces,
meeting rooms and ballrooms, Mandalay Bay's 1 million square feet
of exhibit space also was recently refreshed with new paint,
covered pillars and relocated strobe lights.
Fine Art
As part of MGM Resorts' commitment to
providing a platform for diverse and underrepresented artists, the
remodeled convention space will feature breathtaking new works by
Thandiwe Muriu and Sarah Anne Johnson, among others.
Mandalay Bay Convention Center will remain open and fully
operational throughout the remodel, with upgrades executed in
phases. The project is expected to be complete by the end of
2024.
In addition to the convention center, Mandalay Bay continues to
upgrade and add amenities and experiences throughout the resort
including the upcoming remodel of all 424 rooms and suites at Four
Seasons Hotel Las Vegas set to take place next year; the addition
of Flanker Kitchen + Sports Bar in summer 2023 and the complete
redesign of STRIPSTEAK scheduled to debut in early 2023.
