Tip: Make Attendees and Guests Feel Unique and Special Upon Arrival
Staff at Mandalay Bay Created a Red Carpet Line to Greet MPI Attendees

A red carpet line is a great way to make attendees feel unique and special as they arrive for meetings and other special events.

MPI WEC 2008 attendees were welcomed by more than 200 Mandalay Bay employees as they walked their way into the convention center and toward the opening conference session.

A red carpet line was created by the management and staff at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, to welcome attendees as they approached the opening general session.

It was apparent that the hour long cheering session was appreciated by attendees. And to create an element that pleasantly surprises event planners is a statement in itself.

Creating a red carpet line is easier than most may think. It is simply a matter of having enough individuals who are affiliated with the event to be available during the time when guests arrive. Mandalay Bay simply put the call out to various departments by email and staff were excited to participate.
