Cut Costs,
Keep Thrills
Who says you can’t plan a bold meeting on a budget?
• A gallon of coffee per attendee = $30
• A plated meal per person = $35
• Bus transportation for the day = $1,000
• The average room rate = $150
Here, event essentials are cost-efficient, and the element of surprise is priceless. Attendees are amazed at how many of the same perks from larger destinations are found in Rapid City – stirring downtown streets, nearby bucket-list attractions and more.
