LAS VEGAS (November 3, 2014) – Cvent, an industry leader specializing in meetings management technology, named ARIA Resort & Casino the top meeting resort in North America. In addition, four of ARIA’s sister properties in Las Vegas earned their way into the Top 10: Bellagio, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay and The Mirage. These properties, all part of MGM Resorts International – one of the world’s leading hospitality companies, provide an unmatched portfolio of amenities and meeting spaces.

Cvent recognized the top resorts based on the Cvent Supplier Network, an online platform connecting corporate meeting and event planners with more than 218,000 resorts internationally. In addition to evaluating meetings-booking activity, the Top 100 were determined by third-party reviews, the number of rooms booked throughout the year, resort amenities, consumer scores, total requests for proposals and awarded requests for proposals. This year’s list represents Cvent’s third annual selection of the Top 100 Most Popular Meeting Resorts in North America and the Caribbean.

“This wonderful honor is a testament to our commitment to providing the highest levels of service and expertise within the meetings industry,” said Tony Yousfi, vice president of Sales for ARIA. “ARIA offers cutting-edge, high-tech meeting capabilities; extraordinary hospitality for convention and business travelers; and an eco-conscious environment for all of its guests. A special thank you goes out to the meeting planner community for their trust in us at ARIA and allowing us to be partners in their programs.”
