Inside Asian Gaming is delighted to announce that the first 2026 edition of networking social event Manila After Dark, MAD 34, will be held on Tuesday 14 April at the Grand Lobby at LaVie Resort & Casino – also home to New Coast Hotel Manila.
This is the first time IAG has held a MAD event at LaVie Resort & Casino, located in Manila’s Malate district.
An icon of modern elegance, the LaVie Grand Lobby redefines the art of arrival. Four sculptural LED pillars illuminate the expansive space, creating a captivating interplay of light and architecture.
Designed to feel both open and intimate, the Grand Lobby unfolds with a sense of effortless luxury where refined materials, soaring proportions and curated details invite guests to linger. Elevated and luminous, the LaVie Grand Lobby is not simply a passageway, but a destination – setting the tone for a lifestyle shaped by sophistication, comfort and contemporary glamour.
“We are proud to support Manila After Dark (MAD), part of the Manila/Macau After Dark series by Inside Asian Gaming, which continues to bring together leaders from the hospitality, entertainment and gaming sectors,” said Aurelio Tablante, Jr, Chief Business Officer for Non-Gaming. “Platforms like MAD are essential in fostering meaningful dialogue, strengthening cross-market relationships between Manila and Macau, and driving collaboration across our industry. Events like this highlight the energy, innovation, and shared ambition that define our regional business community.”
IAG Vice Chairman and CEO Andrew W Scott added, “We are truly excited to be hosting our first Manila After Dark of the year at a brand-new venue for IAG, LaVie Resort & Casino. LaVie redefines the city’s hospitality landscape as Manila’s newest integrated resort and the distinguished home of New Coast Hotel Manila. We look forward to working with the team there to present a wonderful event for our industry. We look forward to seeing all our industry friends, both old and new, on 14 April.”
Debuting back in early 2019, MAD is a regular series of industry networking social events held in the Asian gaming hubs of Macau and Manila. Each MAD brings together key industry decision-makers with the people they want to meet in a relaxed and friendly environment.
The event rotates around the region’s best hospitality venues – some well-known and some hidden gems.
Due to its enormous popularity, MAD is strictly by invitation only. Invited guests must RSVP and be confirmed by having an event entry ticket on their phones. All guests must supply their business cards upon arrival. There is also a select VIP list for each event.
