The Tahoe Blue Event Center, located on the south shore of Lake Tahoe in Stateline, NV, has undergone a significant transformation, thanks to a partnership with Metinteractive. This leading technology solutions provider has equipped the venue with a comprehensive suite of AV systems, enhancing its flexibility and functionality.
The partnership with Mitsubishi Electric saw the installation of a state-of-the-art audio system, large-format LED screens, high-definition projectors, integrated lighting controls, networked control systems, and robust wireless connectivity and microphones. These technological advancements offer versatile visual options and high-quality sound, suitable for a wide range of events from concerts to corporate presentations.

The 4,200-seat arena can accommodate up to 5,500 people for various events like sports, concerts, and live entertainment. With these new AV systems in place, the venue is now more adaptable, capable of quick reconfiguration to accommodate different event types, sizes, and technical requirements.
The integration of control systems ensures efficient operation, while the high-quality audio-visual components enhance the overall experience for attendees and presenters alike. This comprehensive AV infrastructure positions The Tahoe Blue Event Center as a modern, adaptable venue capable of supporting a wide range of event needs.
