Grand Sierra Resort and Casino

With more than 200,000 square feet of meeting space and nearly 2,000 varied accommodations, Grand Sierra Resort and Casino is the largest convention hotel in “the Biggest Little City in the World.” The minority-owned and veteran-friendly employer offers meeting attendees everything they need without leaving the property, from an 80,000-square-foot casino to an over-water driving range. If they want to explore, however, they will find easy access to the Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe.

Onsite, the impressive conference facilities make Grand Sierra a good bet for any size event. Its 45 meeting rooms include the Summit Pavilion, which can host up to 4,000 people, and the 2,700-seat Grand Theatre. Groups can also take over Lex Nightclub for upscale parties and networking events. In-house teams help planners with logistics, audiovisual needs, custom menus, and even team-building activities.

The restaurants cover an array of cuisines, including Charlie Palmer Steak, California Pizza Kitchen, Uno Más Street Tacos + Spirits, American options at Grand Café, Reserve Wine Bar, and a bounty of choices at The Grand Buffet. There are also plenty of atmospheres for drinks, whether it’s the elegant Crystal Lounge or the bustling Center Bar on the casino floor. Beyond gaming, guests can fill their time enjoying the live shows in the Grand Theatre, the movie theater, the pool, Fun Quest arcade, the 50-lane bowling center, the new Max Action VR Arena, the puzzle room, and Grand Adventure Land.
