World class entertainment, dining, and business amenities means wherever an organization is heading, getting there starts with being here.
You’ll find meeting and event spaces other places but what you won’t find is all we offer here at MGM Resorts. For decades MGM has been leading the way by providing world-class experiences across all our destinations. Here we host events that create synergy, meetings that move members, conferences that foster collaboration. Here we create memorable experiences that move business forward. Because no matter where business is heading, to start you had to be HERE.
HERE Customized Meeting Spaces Create Synergy
Innovative designs in technology have not only powered our great city, but also our architectural design. And innovation is on display throughout the Luxury Meetings District—a close nexus of venues that sets MGM Resorts apart from the competition. These venues, including Bellagio, ARIA, T-Mobile Arena, Dolby Live at Park MGM make it easy to move from inspirational location to location, with sparks and serendipitous interactions happening along the way. A variety of venue options of all size make it a central hub for any company big or small.
HERE meetings are powered by the sun
Through our 'Focused on What Matters: Embracing Humanity and Protecting the Planet' philosophy, MGM Resorts commits to creating a more sustainable future, while striving to make a bigger difference in the lives of our employees, guests, and in the communities where we operate.
With initiatives like the MGM Resorts Mega Solar Array, made up of over 330,000 solar panels covering 7,000 acres, we have the hospitality industry's largest directly sourced renewable electricity project worldwide. The Array's clean energy produces up to 90% of MGM Resorts' Las Vegas daytime power needs—cutting our operational carbon footprint in half by 2030. Here, bright ideas happen when your meetings are powered by the sun!
Chief People, Inclusion and Sustainability Officer, Jyoti Chopra says, “We believe that bringing diverse perspectives into our organization, enables us to create meaningful experiences for our employees, our guests, and the local communities we serve and where we operate.” At MGM Resorts, our future is looking bright.
HERE unused food serves a community in need
And our Feeding Forward program combats food waste and insecurity at scale by collecting and preserving unserved, untouched event food from MGM Resorts conventions, then safely donating it to people in need. Since our program began in 2016, we've rescued or provided funding for over 2.5 million meals.

Water Stewardship Efforts
MGM Resorts understands the importance of using water efficiently, especially in the desert destination of Las Vegas. Conserving water has always been part of the mission, but MGM Resorts has expanded its ambition into water stewardship.
In 2022, MGM Resorts President and CEO Bill Hornbuckle signed the CEO Water Mandate—a UN Global Compact initiative mobilizing business leaders to advance water stewardship. MGM Resorts International was the first gaming company to take this important step.
MGM Resorts replaced 200,000 square feet of real grass with drought-tolerant landscaping in Las Vegas.
MGM Resorts pledges to reduce water withdrawal intensity by 33% by 2025 and by 35% by 2030.
From 2007-2021, use of more than 5.6 billion gallons of water was avoided because of conservation efforts.
Caring for One Another
MGM Resorts’ Food Donations Program collects and preserves unserved food from conventions held at MGM Resorts properties, then safely donates to food insecure people in the community. Since the program’s launch in 2016, more than 3.7 million meals toward a 2025 goal of 5 million meals have been donated into the community. Donations include:
Unserved perishable prepared foods from events
Perishable unprepared food from MGM Resorts’ kitchens
Nonperishable food items from minibars and warehouses
The collaboration with Southern Nevada’s primary food bank, Three Square, has developed the infrastructure needed to safely collect, transport, and store food from MGM Resorts properties in Las Vegas, reducing food waste while serving the community.
