Joining the roster of musicians backing new venues in town, the band KISS is slated to debut KISS by Monster Mini Golf in this month. The venue will include an indoor, glow-in-the-dark 18-hole miniature golf course, an arcade and gift shop, a wedding chapel, a private room, themed event rooms, and the Rock 'n' Roll All Nite cafe. Teambuilding packages include use of the private room, golfing, T-shirts for best score, and other amenities. (Here, a worker makes progress on a likeness of Gene Simmons' head, which will be installed at the 18th hole.)

The new Machine Guns Vegas is now accepting reservations for its high-energy packages. Among the available experiences: Guests can test out the guns used by the Navy's SEAL Team Six, or try out a real-life version of the Call of Duty video game. The 10,000-square-foot facility offers no alcohol and has 16 shooting lanes where guests and groups can securely test their skills on a wide selection of machine guns, handguns, and other firearms.

The Mob Museum opened to the public on February 14. The downtown Las Vegas space tells the story of organized crime and law enforcement, including the mob’s impact on the city's history. The venue is available for booking as an event space and also offers special rates and packages groups of 12 or more for a day at the property.

Located on the main casino floor of the newly renovated Plaza Hotel and Casino, Swingers Club occupies 5,000 square feet and has room for about 350. A nine-hole mini-golf course runs around the perimeter of the room, with holes that have themes like Elvis and the Grand Canyon. The room is divided by a central, horseshoe-shaped bar that serves as a divider between the two sides of the golf course as well as a natural separation between the more high-energy side, which offers dueling pianos, karaoke, and a stage, and the more low-key portion of the course with big-screen TVs, seating, and casual areas for socializing.

After a grown-up day of meetings and decision-making, get a group together to blow off some steam in a kid-style environment at Insert Coin(s). At this modern-day arcade, guests can play at more than 60 refurbished classics like Tron, Frogger, and Donkey Kong, as well as 40 video game consoles, like the Atari 2600 and Super Nintendo. Of course, the full bar adds an adult twist to the experience.

Overlooking Symphony Park, the new 258-seat club called Cabaret Jazz spotlights some of the world’s top jazz talent and cabaret entertainers at the Smith Center for the Performing Arts. The space offers a full food and beverage menu, including signature cocktails and dishes like bourbon-glazed short ribs and Baton Rouge-style gumbo.

Dig This, which bills itself as "the nation’s first heavy equipment playground," opened in Las Vegas in May 2011. Minutes from the Strip, the site offers guests the chance to experience some rather imposing machinery firsthand, like massive Caterpillar hydraulic excavators and bulldozers. Among the corporate teambuilding options is the "Olympian Big Dig," which includes interactive activities using full-size Caterpillar excavators, bulldozers, and skid loaders, allowing corporate clients to test their skills against, or join forces with, winter Olympians. The program is fully customizable based on Olympian availability and the group's budget.

Between Sugar Factory American Brasserie and the stairway to Chateau Nightclub, the Chocolate Lounge at Paris Las Vegas serves chocolate in all forms, accompanied by wine, champagne, and liquor pairings. Bring a group for a tasting, which ranges from $28 to $1,000. There is bar seating for 22 and banquette seating for 16. There is also a sushi-bar-style chocolate bar and fondue service.

Take a group to watch the game at the Sporting House Bar & Grill inside the New York-New York Hotel & Casino, a venue with more than 130 monitors for sports viewing. The two-story restaurant and bar has a collaborative menu design by Ark Restaurant Corporation executive chef David Waltuck, chef-owner of Chanterelle in New York, and Damien McEvoy, Ark’s executive chef for the past 14 years in Las Vegas. The screening room is on the first floor and can become a private room for events. The room has two 16-foot, high-definition screens and a dozen 36-inch, high-definition video monitors. Tiered seating allows for optimal viewing, and each table in the screening room has an individual screen that guests can adjust. The Sporting House game center on the second floor has more than 10,000 square feet of interactive and competitive sports-themed attractions, like Daytona racing and Pop-a-Shot. The space also has several high-definition televisions, so no one misses out while a game is on.

The full-service Spa at Ravella at Lake Las Vegas offers treatments made for pampering groups. There are 24 treatment rooms in the building, which is detached from the main hotel property for a private feel. The spa has European architecture and a lake setting. There's an outdoor terrace and meditation garden with lake and mountain views. The 30,000-square-foot spa and wellness center also has a full-service salon and fitness center. The entire spa is available for buyout for corporate events.
