M Resort Spa Casino, the Official Team Headquarters Hotel of the Las Vegas Raiders, will commemorate the grand opening of its $206 million expansion with a celebration on Wednesday, Dec. 3, marking the debut of the resort’s new East Tower, expanded conference and event space and renovated casino floor.

The official grand opening ceremony will bring together resort leadership, local dignitaries and community members for an evening designed to light up the Henderson skyline.

A Celebration to Illuminate the Valley

At 5 p.m., as the sun sets, invited guests will hear ceremonial remarks and special announcements, highlighting the growth of M Resort and its role in Henderson’s hospitality landscape.

The official ribbon-cutting ceremony will follow with a vibrant light display signifying M Resort’s bright future ahead and the overall development of the Henderson community.

Guests and the public are then invited to gather at M Resort’s outdoor venue, Patio, at 6 p.m. for a 500-drone light show showcasing the evolution of M Resort and the magic of the season. The show will paint the night sky with dazzling holiday imagery for 12 minutes. 

Next, surprise musical guests will take over the poolside stage for a performance. The evening will wrap up with the showing of the classic holiday movie “Elf” on the resort’s 800-square-foot LED screen. During these festivities, guests can purchase s’mores and hot chocolate to cozy up and enjoy by firepits. 

“This grand opening is a defining moment for M Resort and the community we’re proud to serve,” said M Resort Spa Casino Vice President and General Manager Hussain Mahrous. “Our expansion represents a commitment to creating experiences that celebrate both innovation and the spirit of Henderson.”
