Meadowlands Liberty Region
Meetings for 3 to 82,503

Meetings at Harrah's Atlantic City
Containing a variety of world-class meeting and event venues, 54 hotels and hundreds of restaurants of every ethnic cuisine, the Meadowlands Liberty Region is situated just across the Hudson River from New York City and minutes from Newark Liberty International Airport. Spanning from the George Washington Bridge to the Statue of Liberty and west to the Hackensack River, The Meadowlands Liberty region is an emerging primary destination as well as an alternative to New York City for new and extended visits.

At the center of this dynamic area is the Meadowlands Sports Complex, an expansive facility that isn’t just for sports. The New Meadowlands Stadium, the IZOD Center and Meadowlands Racetrack host truly unique meetings ranging in size from intimate dinners to gatherings of thousands.

New Meadowlands Stadium
In 2010, New Meadowlands Stadium will open its doors as the new home to the New York Jets and New York Giants, world-class concerts, college football, international soccer and other timeless events. This $1.6 billion piece of architectural history will create the new standard of what a stadium should look and feel like; from the ease of travel with the new Meadowlands rail line and increased roadways and parking, to its state-of-the-art technology, the New Meadowlands Stadium is the ideal venue for fans and talent alike. New Meadowlands Stadium is a full-service entertainment facility with 82,500 seats, first-class premium suites with exceptional site lines and service, and five spacious club lounges of various shapes and sizes. Other unique features include on-field patios, and four gigantic HD video boards that amount to the greatest square footage of video boards in the NFL. These versatile spaces are available year round and cater perfectly to private events such as tradeshows, meetings, private parties, product launches, press conferences, banquet and award ceremonies, fundraisers and benefits or virtually any type of event. New Meadowlands Stadium’s modern amenities and dedication to service surpasses all expectations.

IZOD Center
Having hosted everything from NBA and NCAA basketball to the Stanley Cup to Bruce Springsteen to family entertainment, the IZOD Center is well known for its events. New Jersey’s historic arena is also ideally suited to host trade shows, conventions and formal galas. With a seating capacity of over 20,000, luxury suites for 14 – 28 guests, and the Winners Club, a fine dining facility, the IZOD Center is the premier facility in the metropolitan area for everything from the largest trade shows, conventions and galas to luncheons and conferences to more intimate business meetings.

Meadowlands Racetrack
Overlooking the exciting harness and thoroughbred racing at Meadowlands Racetrack are several spectacular meeting venues. The Pegasus Restaurant, recipient of Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence every year since 2002, is located on the penthouse level. The restaurant offers views of the New York skyline and provides a 1200-person meeting space that can be divided into two 600-person spaces. Directly above the racetrack’s winner’s circle is the Terraces Restaurant. A more casual space, the Terraces fits groups of 25 to 300 and offers a choice of four menu plans carefully designed to suit a variety of tastes and budgets. For more intimate meetings, Terrace Suites offer the same finish line view as the restaurant for groups of 35 to 60. A true horse racing experience awaits groups of 50 to 70 at Paddock Park where a good old-fashioned barbecue is served under festive party tents, and TV monitors ensure you don’t miss a second of racing action.
