Thursday Events
For family and friends arriving on Thursday, we will have an evening "Greet & See" at the hotel bar. Here, we will enjoy refreshing cocktails, share much-needed hugs, and maybe get a good game of BidWhist going! We also have a limited number of FREE comedy show tickets for Tommy T's Comedy Club which located near the hotel, for those who are interested.
Friday Events
Let's enjoy fun in the sun at the hotel pool. We reserved the pool cabanas for our event so feel free to use them to relax or store items. Delicious pizzas will be available to enjoy. Please contact Jackie or Tammy if you have any difficulty accessing the pool.
Later on that night, get ready to line dance the night away at the Boots on the Ground Denim and Diamonds Western Affair! We're ready to see your best cowboy and cowgirl swag!
