Get Americas propose you to discover all the unbelievable attractions of Las Vegas with your team by spending a great time and by sharing unforgettable moments. 

Luxury and Las Vegas have been entwined ever since Bugsy Siegel signed his own death warrant by going over budget building The Flamingo. The city’s sprawling, high-end resorts with regal amenities and four- and five-star restaurants appeal to connoisseurs of the good life. When traveling to Las Vegas for an incentive, it’s simply so much to do what we want in this mega city of glitz, but it’s hard to know where to begin.

“We recommend to clients that they try to start planning a year in advance and we start with a budget,” says Bri Steck, vice president of group sales for SPI Entertainment, a theatrical producer and talent agency that also specializes in arranging VIP experiences in Las Vegas for corporate clients like AARP. “From there, we offer them a menu of choices. It might be a day at a high-end spa, or a great meal, or a great show with a name headliner.”

Steck believes Las Vegas is experiencing a return to its performer-based roots, describing how visitors are taking an interest in seeing musical shows with headlining talent when they plan their trips to Las Vegas. SPI produces musical acts like Human Nature and the Bee Gees and can arrange for the artists to perform or hold “meet and greets” with groups. In 2017, the company is adding hotel-booking options for its corporate clients to increase its role in creating customized stay/play packages for clients. Because Las Vegas is an annual or repeat destination for many corporate groups, hire an event planner can help ensure the experience is new for each visit.

“Almost 85 percent of people who visit Las Vegas annually are repeat visitors,” says Manny Kess, CEO of The Kess Group, which creates luxury experiences for visitors. “Our first order of planning is to discuss the client’s vision and end goals; planning a hedge fund’s employee appreciation weekend or organizing a launch of new luxury-product is going to be very different than arranging for a corporate training seminar,” he says. In Vegas, where the old adage, “everything old is new again” remains true, groups who are planning a trip may appreciate thinking beyond the “play and stay” mind-set of some Vegas visitors. “We take pride in our ability to suggest practical solutions and forward-thinking ideas that extend beyond our clients’ expected range of possibilities,” says Kess.

Continual Growth
Groups seeking a specific experience for their stay have many choices if they want to go the high-end route. The Mansion at MGM Grand will appeal to those seeking a luxurious break from the neon chaos of the Strip. Designed to resemble an 18th-century Tuscan villa, it is home to five modern facilities newly available for meetings and events, and the amenities are decidedly top-notch: from butler and concierge services to personalized menu preparation.
