New Venues to Experience in Las Vegas
Las Vegas is constantly evolving. From electric experiences and new resorts to the latest in culinary trends, Vegas is the place where everything is bolder and brighter. As gathering and capacity numbers are increasing, the destination continues to keep “Meet Smart, Vegas Smart” measures at the forefront, while the new, exciting experiences take center stage.
Opening June 24 this year, Resorts World Las Vegas is a $4.3 billion luxury integrated resort, offering 3,500 luxury guestrooms and suites from three premium Hilton brands, including Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, and the ultraluxe Crockfords Las Vegas. The meeting experience here is taken to a new level at Lily Ballroom, with unmatched views of the Las Vegas Strip through floor-to-ceiling windows attached to a spacious terrace; an event center with 100,000 square feet of flexible pillarless space; and a 5.5-acre pool complex with the city’s only infinity edge pool overlooking the Strip. Famous Foods Street Eats, the 16-stall culinary marketplace, will introduce hawker stands from Southeast Asia to the U.S. for the first time alongside western concepts from celebrated chefs and restaurateurs, including Marcus Samuelsson, James Trees and Blood Bros. BBQ.
Home of the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders, Allegiant Stadium will host world-class entertainment, including globally recognized sporting events such as the NFL Pro Bowl, Pac-12 Championship Game and Las Vegas Bowl, and concerts, and is the home of UNLV football. The 65,000-seat stadium is fully enclosed and climate controlled and features a retractable natural turf field; retractable doors, called the lanai, that open to spectacular views of the Strip; and private and event spaces of any size (The Field, Champions Club, outdoor on Ford Plaza).
The newest property in downtown Las Vegas, Circa is an adults-only resort on the iconic Fremont Street Experience. The spectacular 1.25 million-square-foot, 777-room property stands 35 stories tall and features the world’s largest sportsbook; eclectic restaurant and bar concepts; and an expansive local art collection. Presentations make a real splash on a 40-foot-tall screen at Stadium Swim, a year-round pool amphitheater with temperature-controlled water. Overlooking the city on Circa’s 60th floor, Legacy Club delivers an elegant rooftop club lounge with a panoramic view of the Downtown skyline.
The $375 million, 550,000-square-foot venue recently opened near The LINQ Promenade.

Events turn extraordinary on over five acres of outdoor space and pools and 130,000 square feet of flexible indoor space, and heartbeats race at the 4,500-person multiuse theater. The restaurant collection includes Nobu and Casa Calavera, which has open-air patio dining overlooking the pool and lawn space.
