Travel

Las Vegas is accessible and connected in a way that makes it perfect for incentive travel. McCarran International, located just off the Strip, is served with direct flights from all of London's main airports. BA fly from Heathrow's Terminal 3, Thomas Cook from Stansted and Virgin Atlantic from Gatwick. Flights take around 11 hours.

The Las Vegas Monorail connects the Strip's major incentive travel hotels, there are multiple shuttle buses (including the Strip's dedicated shuttle, linking hotels and casinos almost 24/7), and hotels will provide private cars on request.

Venues, Restaurants & Bars

Las Vegas has the incentive venues if you have the imagination. Almost all of its major hotels boast events spaces, many with breathtaking views over the Vegas Strip. For events at scale the cutting-edge, tech-enabled CityCenter, home to the Las Vegas Mandarin Oriental, is hard to beat.

Our current favourite Las Vegas restaurants for incentives include the three Michelin starred Joël Robuchon, Pierre Gagnaire’s Twist at the Mandarin Oriental, CUT (from Spago’s Wolfgang Puck) and Bazaar Meat by José Andrés.

For drinks, catch a band and craft cocktails at Velveteen Rabbit or immerse your group in the head-spinning luxury of the multi-storey Chandelier Bar at Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.  For unreal cityscape views with your cocktails head for 107 Skylounge on the 107th floor of the Stratosphere Tower.
