Just steps away from Symphony Park in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, The Smith Center for the Performing Arts will offer a variety of stunning venue spaces designed for hosting an assortment of events and special occasions. The Smith Center has several venues including Reynolds Hall, the Founders Room, Troesh Studio Theater, and Cabaret Jazz, which will be available to meet the needs of any occasion, from corporate meetings and seminars to weddings and holiday parties. The Smith Center provides spectacular architecture, full-service catering and bar, along with access to expert technical support for any event.

The Smith Center houses a range of unique venue spaces capable of accommodating meetings and events, both large and small:

• Reynolds Hall is a 2,056-seat theater complete with balconies, a stage, and full orchestra pit. The entire stage can be rented for dinner, special meetings, weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, and more. The five-tiered audience chamber serves as an elegant, one-of-a-kind background.
• The Grand Lobby is a 5,000-square-foot space that features elegant 19-foot tall chandeliers, sculptures, and authentic Italian stone on the walls.
• The Founders Room, located on the second floor overlooking Symphony Park, is decorated with chic furniture and rich wood floors.
• The 1,500-square foot Mezzanine Lounge, also located on the second level, provides an intimate and relaxed atmosphere suitable for smaller parties.
• There are three conference suites available for meetings: one large 860-square-foot room and two smaller 200-square-foot conference rooms.
• The Upper Lobby is situated on the fifth floor of Reynolds Hall and provides a more private space with views of downtown Las Vegas.
• The Troesh Studio Theater, in the Boman Pavilion, is a 3,000-square-foot versatile space ideal for all events. The theater features a floating dance floor and large windows designed to brighten up any occasion.
• The 3,700-square-foot Cabaret Jazz is unlike any other space and features a view overlooking Symphony Park. This space is ideal for jazz, cabaret, and other events best seen and heard in an intimate setting.
• The Courtyard offers guests a 6,200-square-foot space outdoors designed for gatherings in the fresh air. Acting as a conduit between Reynolds Hall and Boman Pavilion, the Courtyard is a perfect location for weddings, dinners, and cocktail parties.

The Smith Center will also provide on-site, full-service catering and bar will provide patrons with food and beverages from Culinary Arts Catering. Culinary Arts Catering is a division of the Culinary Academy of Las Vegas, a nonprofit culinary and hospitality training institute. The Smith Center’s partnership with the Culinary Academy of Las Vegas will not only provide world-class food and beverage for guests, but will also help to put Southern Nevadans back to work.
