The new three-level center will include more than 1 million square feet of exhibit space, suitable for industry trade shows, national and international association meetings and large corporation meetings. Also included in the new facility is a 100,000-square-foot ballroom - the largest hotel ballroom in the country, according to Las Vegas-based casino operator Mandalay Resort Group.
The state-of-the-art facility will sit on 16.5 acres adjacent to the existing 190,000 square-foot Mandalay Bay Conference Center. The technologically modern facility will feature some of the newest developments in voice, data and fiber optic transmission capabilities. Also included is a 10-thousand square-foot business service center, which will be staffed and equipped to handle the daily business needs of conference participants and conventioneers.
The new center is also designed for ease in the load-in and load-out of major trade shows. Three separate tractor-trailer loading docks on two different levels can accommodate 36 trailers simultaneously.
Upon completion of the project, Mandalay Bay will offer a total of almost 2 million gross square-feet of conference and exhibit space, including 4 ballrooms ranging from 31,000 to 100,000 square feet, 1 million square feet of exhibit space and room to accommodate more than 75 simultaneous breakout meetings.
Groundbreaking on the Convention Center at Mandalay is scheduled for June 2001, with the facility's first show in Summer 2002.
