Las Vegas, Nevada
The Grand Garden Arena is a 16,800-seat venue that has hosted some of the most significant events in entertainment and sports history. Championship boxing matches featuring Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, and Evander Holyfield. The Billboard Music Awards. Concerts by the Rolling Stones, U2, and Lady Gaga. The arena's design provides unobstructed sight lines from every seat, making it one of the premier mid-sized venues in the world.
The Grand Garden Arena has generated over $1 billion in boxing gate revenue alone, hosting more championship fights than any other venue in history. The arena can be converted from a boxing ring to a concert stage to a tennis court in under 24 hours.
At the entrance stands a 45-foot-tall, 50-ton bronze statue of the MGM lion, the largest bronze statue in the United States. The lion, weighing 100,000 pounds, is mounted on a 25-foot pedestal and has become one of the most photographed landmarks on the Las Vegas Strip. From 1999 to 2012, live lions were displayed in a glass habitat inside the resort, visible from the main floor.
As the largest single hotel in the United States with 6,852 rooms, the MGM Grand is a city within a city. The resort features Wet Republic, a 4.5-acre ultra pool with saltwater pools and cabanas, and Hakkasan, a five-story nightclub that is one of the highest-grossing clubs in the world. Dining options include restaurants from celebrity chefs, and the Topgolf Swing Suite offers an indoor golf entertainment experience. The Grand Garden Arena hosts championship boxing, mega-concerts, and award shows.
