How long has TBA Global operated in Las Vegas?

We've been operating programs as a top Las Vegas DMC for more than 25 years! We've seen it all happen in Las Vegas - and love staying on top of the new hotels, venues and activities in town.

Tell us the Top 10 Reasons to hold your next meeting or incentive trip in Las Vegas?

1. Accommodations
With more than 136,000 rooms, Las Vegas offers a wide variety of options to fit all budgets... Sophisticated, comfortable and one-of-a-kind.

2. Experience
Las Vegas resorts will host more than 23,000 meetings, conventions and incentive programs this year, ranging in size from 10 to more than 100,000 attendees. Dedicated convention service professionals will make sure that your organization is provided with the service necessary to ensure that your event is a success.

3. Attendance
The attractiveness of Las Vegas, enhanced by the explosion in national media attention over the past several years, generates strong attendance for meetings. On average, attendance increases 18% when conventions rotate into Las Vegas.

4. Space / Convention Centers
Space, space and more space. Las Vegas has more than 9.7 million sq. feet of exhibit space and is home to three of the country's 10 largest convention venues: the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, a 1.5 million-square-foot center on the south Strip; 1.9 million-square foot Sands Expo and Convention Center adjacent to the Venetian; and the 2.3 million-square-foot Las Vegas Convention Center.

5. Air Service
Las Vegas provides accessible and economical flights from all major U.S. destinations and internationally as well.

6. Close Proximity to Airport
McCarran International Airport is conveniently located just one mile from Las Vegas Boulevard and 3.5 miles from the Las Vegas Convention Center.

7. Weather
Las Vegas averages 320 days of sunshine per year. With an average temperature of 66.3 degrees, annual rainfall of 4.13 inches and humidity around 29 percent, the climate is perfect for meetings held throughout the year.

8. Transportation
The close proximity of Las Vegas hotels, in many cases, eliminates the need for transportation as delegates can walk to many destinations. When transportation is required, however, Las Vegas offers a myriad of options including buses, taxis, shuttles and the country's first automated monorail.

9. Dining
There are few other cities in the world that are able to boast about the wide array of dining options available, from all-you-can-eat-buffets to some of the finest restaurants in the world. Many of the great chefs have set up shop in Las Vegas restaurants, where patrons are consistently rewarded with great food. Las Vegas has options for every culinary taste.

10. TBA Global – Las Vegas
Last but not least, we're your BEST SOURCE for complete destination service logistics, theme parties, entertainment, special events, location transportation, tours and activities.
