These new (and newly renovated) venues have meeting rooms, conference facilities, ballrooms, and outdoor spaces, and are equipped to handle small or large groups. Here are the 10 best hotels in Las Vegas for events, meetings, seminars, and business entertaining.
8. Public House at The Venetian
Public House, located at the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian, is a spin on an old-school tavern or gastropub. The venue is located near the meeting space at the Venetian and Sands Expo, and has private space including a boardroom that holds 11. There is also a semiprivate space that can be become private by closing sliding doors; it seats about 30. Both areas have audiovisual capabilities.

9. Bally's
Bally's meeting space recently got a face-lift that included new wall coverings, carpeting, lighting fixtures, and other details.

10. Harrah's Updated Meeting Space
Right for small meetings, Harrah’s has just 25,000 square feet of space, lending it a manageable feel compared to other sprawling properties on the Vegas strip. The meeting space was recently revamped, with new wall coverings, carpeting, lighting fixtures, and finishes. Several updated meeting rooms, including the Elko, Ely, and Goldfield rooms, each hold fewer than 50 guests in a classroom-style arrangement.
