I have worked conventions for over 10 years and I have never experienced a venue this horrible.
-Gas leak
-Mice and roaches
-Water leaking in multiple places from the ceiling
-One of the bathrooms sinks had YELLOW water coming from it
-Venue was not there to open on time, setting the event's schedule back several hours and left a line of people in a blizzard outside, multiple days. These people were in costume for the event, not winter clothes.
-Despite contracted hours they would just shut the lights and heat off
-Wouldn't turn heat up to an acceptable temperature. I had to wear thermals under my clothes and a winter jacket inside the whole time. It was freezing.
-Ballroom reeked of cigarette smoke
-Charged an outrageous amount for drinks at the cafe
-Tables and chairs provided were dirty, mud foot prints and spilt drinks on them
-Multiple reports of over night theft from the vendors
-Multiple complaints about security, who had the audacity to put a tip jar out for themselves?
The con communicated our needs pretty clearly and so many things were followed through on, the venue was heinously difficult to work with and rude, everything was dirty and sticky. And I mean everything. The couches, floor, walls, curtains, tables, bathrooms, all of it.
Do not recommend.
First and the only time coming to this place. Event suppose to start from 8:00 pm to 1:30am. Got here at 8:30 and sat around till 10:50 and not 1 band had came out yet.
People didn’t care. Trash everywhere. Not worthy the money we had expended
The event I went to was great! The Even Center was hot garbage. It would have been nice to be able to sit in the VIP seating that I paid for. My friend went to complain because there are no seats, they brought more seats, and those were promptly stolen. How about put a guard there and check wrist bands! Every other place I've been to does exactly that! Why pay extra when you can just get General Admission and sit wherever you want? I know my group and I will be avoiding this place, doesn't matter what event they have, not worth it if it is being held here.
801 even center... The activity I went to was fantastic, despite the location problems: health code violations, fire department violations, disability violations, broken drinking fountains, lack of adequate security which was supposed to be provided by the building owners (other activities like this I've been to had way more then just the two provided for just one entrance, plus others at multiple entrances and exits and around the vender booths to help us get in and out quicker and to protect venders from theft), and violation of contract not letting the activity set up on time preventing them from being ready the next day leaving people outside shivering in the snow why the activity staff ran around in a mad dashes to get ready. The bathroom I used was clean at least, unlike many other areas in the building, including sinks behind the service bar which was the only place I found to fill my water, (I was told some drinking fountains worked but I didn't find those ones). Even the water wasn't clean. When I finally found a place to refill my water bottle it had floaties that showed up in my water, convincing me that a dehydration headache or leaving sooner would be preferable then risking drinking the water. The building also had a strong smell of cigarettes smoke in one of the wings. The heater didn't seem to be working and some skinny people and dancers were shivering violently. One exits was bared shut; another chained; a few of the other doors wouldn't open, no matter how hard I pushed on the crash bar, making it hard to get bigger wheelchairs through. All in all, I would recommend never using this building again unless they do some major repairs.
801 Event Center seems to be a good choice for any occasion or event. It is a lot bigger that I expected. Although I attended an event at the regular center there is another one in the back for larger events and they can fit over 5,000 people. Bands, DJ’s and even boxing matches take place here.
Great location near to downtown and good amenities.
I love the location where we perform as models in Expo Bodas y Quinceñeras Utah 2023 the salon was nice and clean and the public enjoy very much all the vendors and performers.
Good place to go. Security are nice and take care of the public. Thank you for having all ages. Loved seeing Los Inquietos del Norte.
"Horrible looks like a winery, the artists who took it almost 11 o'clock and they didn't come out horrendous.
