Rio Las Vegas, a Destination by Hyatt hotel, is excited to announce its inclusion in the Hyatt Convention Alliance (HCA) for the Las Vegas market. This strategic addition brings the total number of premier properties in the Alliance to 11, spread across 10 key U.S. markets, expanding the Alliance’s ability to deliver exceptional meeting and event services.

Laurae Clifford, Executive Director of Group Sales at Rio Las Vegas, expressed excitement about joining the HCA, stating, “With Las Vegas being the top destination for meetings and conventions, Rio Las Vegas provides a strong foothold in a globally recognized hub for large-scale gatherings with our vibrant hotel and casino located one block from the famed Las Vegas Strip. To top it off, you can earn both planner and attendee loyalty points with World of Hyatt when staying with us. We are thrilled to bring our extensive accommodations and event spaces to the Hyatt Convention Alliance, offering event planners more flexibility and convenience in a dynamic market.”

As part of its ongoing transformation, Rio Las Vegas recently completed the first phase of a $340 million renovation, and became part of the Destination by Hyatt brand in 2024. This new addition significantly enhances the Alliance’s meeting and event options, further cementing Hyatt Convention Alliance’s reputation for providing a seamless planning experience at top-tier venues in high-demand markets.

Increased Flexibility and Capacity for Event Planners

A key advantage of Rio Las Vegas joining the Hyatt Convention Alliance is the significant boost in capacity and flexibility it brings to the Alliance. Previously, Hyatt Convention Alliance properties ranged in size from 1,003 to 2,032 rooms. With Rio Las Vegas offering 2,520 rooms and 220,000 square feet of meeting and event space, the Alliance now offers even more expansive options for hosting large groups and complex events. Whether for intimate corporate meetings or grand conventions, Rio Las Vegas expands the variety of event needs the Hyatt Convention Alliance can accommodate.

Rio Las Vegas offers planners the opportunity to streamline their event planning with its vast meeting spaces and ideal location just a block away from the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. The hotel’s extensive event facilities and celebrated hospitality make it a standout venue for large-scale corporate meetings and conventions. In addition, Rio Las Vegas provides meeting planners with consistent service quality, dedicated support teams, and easy access to a diverse range of venues, further enhancing the Hyatt Convention Alliance’s ability to meet the growing demand for flexible, high-quality event spaces.

Rio Las Vegas joins an impressive lineup of Hyatt Convention Alliance properties, including Grand Hyatt San Diego, Grand Hyatt San Antonio, Hyatt Regency Atlanta, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Hyatt Regency Dallas, Hyatt Regency Denver, Hyatt Regency New Orleans, Hyatt Regency Orlando, Hyatt Regency O’Hare Chicago, and Hyatt Regency Seattle.

Clients will benefit from its commitment to streamlining event planning by providing consistent service standards, dedicated support teams, and seamless access to a portfolio of premium venues. Rio Las Vegas’ extensive meeting spaces and convenient location within 1 block of the Las Vegas Strip cater to the growing demand for large-scale conventions and corporate events, making it a valuable addition.
