The MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas is a complex campus comprising one of the world’s largest hotels (over 5000 rooms), gaming facilities, swimming pools and theme park. The Master Plan includes two more hotels with a total of 1600 additional rooms. As part of the Master Plan, this project, the Conference Center and Central Plant Upgrade are complete. The central plant chiller capacity was increased by 8000 tons, and efficiency improvements were made to allow the postponement of another 2000 tons. At over 360,000 square feet, the center is larger than many city convention facilities. The MGM hosts many clients that launch new products and sales training seminars. To accommodate these clients, the ballroom and exhibit hall have upgraded finishes. The exhibit hall can be divided into as many as 14 meeting rooms using movable partitions. Each room has individual control of lighting, air conditioning and audio visual. In addition, there are smaller meeting rooms, executive meeting rooms, a boardroom, and kitchen facilities. Only fourteen months passed from design contract to completion, a true "fast track." The project required that mechanical, electrical, plumbing/fire protection, vertical transportation, audio/visual and acoustical design all be provided under one manager..
