What The Beacon Center does

The Beacon Center is a privately held, family-owned venue rental business headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, founded in 2015 by husband-and-wife team Gil and Becky Stonebarger, who collectively bring over 50 years of hospitality industry experience. The company operates two physical event spaces: the main Beacon Center venue (capacity up to 80 guests, 50 in classroom style) and The Annex (capacity up to 25 guests, approximately 600 square feet), both located at 4505 West Hacienda Ave Suite G2, approximately 0.5 miles from The Orleans Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. Its core product is hourly and package-based event space rental, with business meeting rates starting at $75/hour for the main venue and $50/hour for The Annex, and tiered custom event packages ranging from $800 (Signature) to $2,000 (Diamond) to $2,775 (Platinum), plus chapel-only ceremony packages priced at $400-$600.

The underlying technology is standard off-the-shelf event venue equipment rather than proprietary systems: the venue includes 70-inch Smart TVs with HDMI connectivity, Bluetooth surround sound, LED color-changing ceiling lights, live-streaming camera options, wireless internet, and 24-hour video surveillance. The business model is direct-to-consumer, with customers booking via website inquiry forms, phone, or free in-person tours. Revenue is generated from one-time rental fees plus ancillary services such as bartender service (starting at $250, required by Nevada law for alcohol service), catering through preferred vendors (including in-house catering and TOGO's Sandwiches), and à la carte add-ons (table linens, photo booths, AV equipment). The company serves two primary customer segments — business/corporate clients seeking affordable meeting space and individuals hosting personal celebrations (weddings, baby showers, birthdays) — both positioned against the higher cost of hotel and Strip venues. Owner Becky Stonebarger also holds a CVENT certification (2019) and serves as a wedding officiant.

The Beacon Center markets through a multi-channel digital presence including its website, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, Yelp, and blog content, emphasizing affordability positioning. Notable repeat corporate clients include McDonald's, Uber, Samsung, Sprint, Bosch, Sherwin Williams, Zoho, and Renewal by Andersen, indicating traction with enterprise meeting users. The company is bootstrapped, founder-owned, and has no external funding, acquisitions, or public-market activity. It operates a Preferred Vendors Network of vetted local caterers, bartenders, entertainers, and wedding officiants as an ancillary ecosystem. The business is constrained to a single Las Vegas location and a small team of 1-10 employees, with no disclosed growth funding or expansion beyond the Las Vegas market.

• Eventective: Venue and vendor marketplace for corporate events, meetings, weddings, and parties. Comparable to The Beacon Center in targeting both corporate meeting planners and personal-event customers searching for affordable venue options.
• Peerspace: Online marketplace for hourly venue rentals for meetings, events, weddings, and productions.

Broad incumbents

• The Orleans Hotel & Casino: Las Vegas Strip-adjacent hotel and casino with meeting and event space, located approximately 0.5 miles from The Beacon Center. Comparable as a competing Las Vegas venue option for meetings and celebrations, but operates at a higher price point and with lodging bundled in.
