Wild Horse Pass is the only place you need to go this holiday season for a fun staycation, a quick getaway for the in-laws (or getaway from the in-laws), stellar dining options, sports gaming, a spa day, concerts or a fabulous New Year’s Eve dinner. The AAA Four Diamond Awarded resort has something for everyone this holiday season.

Starting at the resort, be sure to take advantage of one of Wild Horse Pass’s 446 rooms. The recent addition of tower suites has created the opportunity to relax, work or play exactly the way you’d like. Rooms are orchestrated in an upscale and comfortable way, full of warm woods, pops of green, blue and amber and all the amenities that make a stay at Wild Horse Pass unforgettably relaxing.

The new 11-story tower is impressively built-out with gorgeous modern styling and décor that effortlessly spills from the hallways into the guest rooms. My recent stay was in a “wrap-around” balcony room on the corner of an upper floor of the new tower, offering a spectacular view of the massive pool below and the surrounding Valley.

Each well-appointed room includes the most comfortable beds complimented by the most buttery-soft pillows. An in-room safe, fridge, coffee maker, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, a flat screen TV, plenty of space to store your things and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi are also standard in every room.

If you’re looking for something a little bit different, Wild Horse Pass also boasts Arizona’s first Topgolf Swing Suite. Practice your swing and enhance your golf skills in an indoor setting that caters to you and your friends in a climate friendly environment. And because they thought of everything, guests can play virtual sports in the same suite. Enjoy playing baseball, soccer, dodgeball and more.

The Topgolf Swing Suite has an incredible bird’s-eye view of the bustling casino floor, and it’s a great way to see everything that is happening, all at once. The spacious suite also has its own dedicated bar with tabletop games, live table games, a broadcast booth and TVs, so you won’t miss any sports action. Best of all, the Topgolf Swing Suite is available for private parties and corporate events. 

BetMGM Sportsbook is available at Wild Horse Pass Casino, with a beautifully appointed space perched above the main casino floor that boasts TVs nearly everywhere you look.

Entertainment is also full of top-notch acts in the coming months. T-Pain and Rick Ross perform at the Official FuelFest After Party in the Showroom 9:30 p.m. Saturday, December 10. Country music band Diamond Rio plays 8:00 p.m. Sunday December 11. Chris Cagle is scheduled 8:00 p.m. Saturday, January 21 and LOCASH hits the stage Friday, February 24.

Gaming, golfing, swimming and shopping are enough to make anyone hungry, and Wild Horse Pass does not disappoint in the restaurant department. On-site restaurants include modern Asian cuisine with an American flair at Ling & Louie’s and Fullhouse Café with a wide range of comfort food, breakfast, pastries and freshly made pies.

Prime, a Shula’s Steak House is the crown jewel in the culinary crown at Wild Horse Pass. Check out the 38-day wet aged steaks or dry aged steaks. Enjoy them in their own flavorful glory, or with “elevations,” like roasted bone marrow and wild mushrooms, seared foie gras and red wine onion jam or crab imperial, shaved asparagus and Bearnaise sauce. Prime is open 5:00-10:00 p.m. for dinner Tuesday through Saturday, and there is a fabulous brunch 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. on Sundays. Additionally, four different semi-private and private dining spaces are available. The rooftop patio space is also the perfect spot to enjoy cocktails or dinner, with a gorgeous sunset.

Prime is offering a special New Year’s Eve dinner to kick off 2024 in style! Choose from seating at 5:00, 7:00 and 10:00 p.m. December 31, for $199 per person.
