Las Vegas is bursting with private dining options, so you are in the driver’s seat when planning an event for your co-workers, clients, customers, or cohorts in this desert oasis. Each venue is looking to please and wants your business. Because the choices are so plentiful, that leaves lots of room for you to customize the experience you want. Before you commit to a space, here are a few things to know about PDRs in Las Vegas:
Always ask about a full buy-out. So you’ve fallen in love with the vibe of the restaurant, but the private dining room only seats 20, and your party is way more. Almost all of the restaurants in town offer full venue buy-outs, or at the very least, they can section off a large portion of the space so your group can still enjoy what your desired spot has to offer.
Places in Vegas seem close, but they aren’t. You look at a map and think “This restaurant is close to where the company is staying, it should work…” Pro tip: it’s not close. The walkways of Las Vegas bring you up, back, and around the sidewalks, or simply push you straight through the shopping malls or casinos. Plan for transport if your restaurant isn’t directly in your hotel.
Tailor your experience. Chef demonstrations, wine tastings, endless buffets, oh my. Las Vegas comes with “wow factors” baked into all its experiences, so be sure to ask the restaurant hosting your private dinner what extras they can provide.
Sourcing out a space in Sin City can feel overwhelming, but with guidance from The Vendry, finding the right private dining venue for your team can be a snap. Source PDRs in Vegas and beyond, and even request a proposal directly from your search!
