Mandalay Bay Convention Center |
Mandalay Bay Convention Center is attached to the Mandalay Bay resort, located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The 2,100,000 sq ft (200,000 m2)[1] facility is owned and operated by MGM Resorts International. It is among the largest convention centers in the U.S.
It was developed by original owner Mandalay Resort Group, at a cost of $236 million. Construction began in 2001, but was temporarily halted due to the economic impact of the September 11 attacks. The Mandalay Bay Convention Center opened on January 6, 2003, with 1,500,000 sq ft (140,000 m2). MGM acquired the facility two years later. An expansion was finished in 2015, and renovations concluded the following year.
