Dozens of visitors explore the brand-new conference center at the Island Resort & Casino.

The 17,000-square-feet space will play an important role helping the resort fill gaps in its calendar, according to General Manager Tony Mancilla.

Mancilla says the Island wants more of you to visit during the winter.

“You know, I think it hits a segment of our calendar every year that we need to fill, which is the middle of the winter,” Mancilla said. “You know, a lot of people don’t travel, but people do their conferences in the winter. They don’t do them in the summer, everyone’s on vacation in the summer.”

Around 150 workers and subcontractors at Gundlach Champion built the new space.
