Both budget-friendly and camera-friendly, Rapid City, South Dakota is a central meeting destination with all the amenities you expect, plus unique adventures you may not.
Rapid City is home to more than 5,300 hotel rooms and meeting space for up to 10,000 attendees. Expanded in 2008, the 175,000 square-foot Rushmore Plaza Civic Center offers multiple configurations for banquets, meetings, exhibitions and conventions. Nearby, guests can stroll through a seven-acre park, relax next to a quiet lake or take a short walk to historic downtown where they’ll enjoy a variety of restaurants, shops and museums surrounded by The City of Presidents, a Rapid City must-see honoring our nation’s presidents.
For groups looking for a unique meeting place, Rapid City also offers The Journey Museum and the Dahl Arts Center, which feature local art and Black Hills history.
Located at the center of the United States, Rapid City is easier to reach than you might think. With its own regional airport, Rapid City offers direct flights from Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Mesa/Phoenix and Salt Lake City.
In addition to having every amenity your group needs, Rapid City is central to one-of-a-kind adventures in South Dakota’s beautiful Black Hills. Outside of meetings, attendees can explore two million acres of ponderosa pine forest, including the unique landscapes of Badlands National Park, the stunning scenery of the Black Hills, Crazy Horse Memorial and awe-inspiring Mount Rushmore National Memorial.
Rapid City lies a short distance from all of these attractions, not to mention wildlife parks and some of the world’s longest underground caves. Sheltered by the Black Hills, Rapid City experiences comfortably mild weather year-round with more sunny days than Miami and Honolulu, so guests can hit one of several golf courses or hundreds of miles of hiking trails almost any time of year.
