Following a recent $150 million renovation project that completely reimagined the iconic casino-resort, SAHARA Las Vegas is continuing to position itself as a top-tier destination for corporate meetings and events. 

Boasting 95,000 square feet of flexible indoor-outdoor event spaces, the 1,613-room, three-tower property at the north end of the Strip offers a bevy of meetings venues for event planners to choose from. Ideal for board meetings, product launches, seminars, conventions, networking events, awards dinners and holiday parties, its spaces range from traditional ballrooms to unique venue options such as theaters, lounges, pool areas and restaurants.

Additionally, the resort offers a full-service catering and banquet team with a flair for creating unique culinary experiences via fully customizable menus and options. 

According to Christopher Bond, SAHARA Las Vegas vice president of sales, the SAHARA event team is well-versed in executing corporate meetings and events of all sizes, ranging from large global organizations to small committee meetings.

“Our team not only thinks but executes outside the box with solutions that are seamless,” Bond said. “SAHARA recently underwent a $150 million transformation that includes remodeled guest rooms, an updated casino, new dining concepts, a redesigned pool and refreshed meeting spaces. All of these new changes contribute to an extraordinary meetings experience for all groups that come to visit.”
