Just 16 miles from the dazzling lights of Las Vegas and with over 350,000 square feet of flexible event space, Henderson, Nevada, is the perfect spot for a dynamic meeting experience. Planners can choose from a wide variety of hotels, including the European-inspired Green Valley Ranch Casino, Resort & Spa and the stylish M Resort Spa Casino. Getting there is easy—Henderson is conveniently located off Interstate 11 and near Interstate 15, with Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport 20 minutes away.

Green Valley Ranch Casino, Resort & Spa combines thrilling casino action and nightlife with the pampering and relaxation of a resort and spa, along with multiple on-site dining options and catering. Meeting space is composed of two expansive ballrooms, 12 breakout rooms, and several stunning executive boardrooms, and the resort’s serene surroundings, manicured gardens, and complimentary parking leave attendees feeling a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The resort is currently in the middle of an expansive, $200 million renovation, which will touch all West and East Tower guest rooms, as well as meeting and convention space, when completed next year.

For attendees who can’t wait to hit the links, Henderson’s nine championship golf courses mean plenty of opportunities to practice your swing. Planners love the courses, too—many offer on-site meeting spaces, such as those at Revere Golf Club, with 36 holes of golf among two distinct courses and a modern event venue well equipped for annual meetings, team-building sessions, awards galas, and more. Farther north, in the heart of the Green Valley, Wildhorse Golf Club features a grand ballroom for up to 200.

A recent renovation added a new hotel tower with 375 modern guest rooms, as well as the 15,000-square-foot Montese Ballroom, bringing the resort’s total meeting space to over 100,000 square feet. M Resort Spa Casino’s turn-key approach and attentive staff make planning a breeze.
