In Vegas every day is a spectacle, and the Holidays season adds even another level of festivity and sparkle to the strip. Planning a Holiday party that is grandiose enough to be deserving of this city is an intimidating task. That’s why I created this guide that helps you pick everything from the venue to the activity to the entertainment.

If you want to host your team building onsite, or you already have a venue in mind, Avital’s Interactive Foodie Stations are a great add-on. They’re all-inclusive bars where your guests can mix and mingle as they taste and create.
A night out in Vegas is all about the venue you’re attending, and a corporate holiday party is much the same. These excellent restaurants will please the most glamorous guests and the most discerning palates at the same time.
If your corporate holiday party is going to be a companywide affair, Mon Ami Gabi will have no problem accommodating a large group. A full buyout of this chic French bistro can be enjoyed by up to 650 guests, and I can guarantee no one will go hungry or without good wine the whole night through.
Decadence is the name of the game at Lawry’s The Prime Rib. Your guests will enjoy perfectly cooked steaks and indulgent seafood dishes in an upscale and iconic setting. Their private room is decorated in an Art Deco style and is great for groups of up to 36.
The patio at El Segundo Sol is open year-round for events, with a menu of 100 specialty tequilas, and the festive atmosphere makes it a great venue for a lively corporate holiday party. Up to 52 guests can enjoy dining in this outdoor area surrounded by hanging plants and glowing lights.
Amaya is serving up modern Mexican dishes to stylish Las Vegas residents and tourists alike. This venue is stunning, with a moody ambiance and fabulous menu that turns any dinner into a celebration. Amaya can accommodate groups of 50-200.
If you don’t want to blow your whole budget on the venue, 7th and Carson might be the right pick for you. This vibrant Downtown restaurant specializes in delicious shareable plates of American food at a price point that won’t break the bank.
Vegas is the capital of entertainment and showmanship, meaning the holiday celebrations here are never subtle. Lucky for us, that means there are fabulous options for your holiday party entertainment this year.
The Magical Forest at Opportunity Village is not only immaculately decorated in Christmas lights, trees, and ornaments, it also has entertaining rides, mini golf, and a realistic North Pole right in the middle of the desert. Your coworkers won’t have a dull moment to spare when you host your party here!
There is only one immersive Christmas light show that’s part maze, part spectacle and part story. Enchant Lights Maze will revive your team’s childlike sense of wonder this holiday season.
Green Valley Ranch hosts a winter themed pop-up lounge on their terrace that transforms the area into a Winter Wonderland. There is scant snow to be found in the middle of the desert so treat your team to a white Christmas and Holiday snacks and drinks all at once.
Grab a suite at the Las Vegas Ballpark to enjoy Enchant’s Night of the Nutcrackers in style. This immersive experience features incomparable Christmas light displays, immersive activations, and a whimsical story that inspires feelings of nostalgia and intrigue.
Many cities host Christmas markets during the holidays but none quite like Cowboy Christmas. Vendors sell their wares on one level while cowboys wrangle broncos on another, and snacks and drinks are served around the corner. Cowboy Christmas truly has it all going on!
Charcuterie Chalets are grown-up gingerbread houses made from ingredients typically found on a meat and cheese board. Your team can build them together from kits, or book a game-show-style experience where one house wins it all.
Themes elevate company holiday celebrations, creating unique experiences that your group will remember for the entire year. These innovative holiday party themes for work help companies distinguish their celebrations and add some whimsy to the holiday season.
Channel alpine luxury without leaving the Las Vegas. Faux-fur throws, twinkling lanterns, and hot toddy stations set the mood. Serve fondue, mini raclette plates, and gourmet s’mores made tableside. Guests can wear chic ski lodge attire — think cozy knits and champagne flutes.
Hire a Las Vegas magician like Ben Silver and infuse some Holiday magic into this year’s celebration. Embrace the theme with crystal balls, silver streamers, and playing card decorations.
Tropical holiday themes offer an escape from winter with Hawaiian shirts and summer vibes, providing a refreshing alternative to traditional winter celebrations. Be sure to feature tropical flowers, summer cocktails, and beach-themed decorations.
A murder mystery is an amazingly engaging theme. Encourage your group to dress up according to the theme you choose. You can hire actors and an event host who will be in character the entire time to really immerse everyone attending the party.
A vintage holiday theme featuring retro decorations from the 1950s has a nostalgic charm. Decorate with classic ornaments, vintage advertisements, and period-appropriate music. Dress in vintage xmas sweaters and dresses.
We all know the season isn’t about receiving gifts, BUT, some thoughtful, curated gifts never hurt anybody. Plus, they’re a great way to show appreciation. Whether you’re sending holiday party kits or organizing a gift exchange, here are our top picks for all comfort levels and budgets.
Personalized gift cards from local restaurants or popular retailers allow recipients to choose items they actually want while supporting local businesses. Coordination with local establishments can sometimes yield group discounts or special promotions.
Charity gift giving, supporting local food banks or toy drives, transforms gift exchanges into community service opportunities. Departments or teams can compete to collect the most donations, while individual contributions replace traditional gift exchanges.
To play White Elephant, everyone brings a secret gift to the party (within the budget you set). Then, one at a time, people will open a gift. As you go along, each subsequent person can choose to open an unopened gift or steal a gift that has already been opened.
Secret Santa exchanges with $25 budget limits and optional theme guidelines provide structure while maintaining surprise elements. Optional themes like “locally made items” or “books and experiences” can add creativity while maintaining budget consciousness.
High-quality branded items like fleece jackets, water bottles, or tech accessories feel more valuable than typical promotional items and create ongoing brand visibility. These gifts are stylish and utilitarian, which your team is sure to appreciate.
Unsure of what to wear to this year’s work holiday party? Here are a few ideas to get you started.
When in doubt, dress in the colors of the season! Red and green or silver and gold are never out of place at a company holiday party.
It’s finally the right time of year to pull out that hideous sweater your grandma gave you, that you feel too guilty to get rid of… The gaudier the better!
When the weather is cold, it’s the perfect time to experiment with layers in your style. A stylish trench coat or wool jacket, patterned tights, or a blouse over a sparkly long-sleeve top can take your office holiday party outfit to the next level.
There’s nothing wrong with getting a little extra dressed up to ring in the Holidays! A suit jacket, chic dress, or pantsuit is never out of place at an office holiday party.
Get Logistics Sorted: Date, headcount, budget, and goals are the first things that need to be confirmed before any planning happens.
Secure Your Venue: If your party is at the office, you can skip this step, but if it’s anywhere else, you need to be booking way in advance (as early as 6-9 months ahead).
Source Food & Drink: There are many ways to feed and water your party. You can choose traditional catering, book a turnkey food and drink experience, host at a restaurant, or even DIY it.
Keep it Engaging: Activities are essential for an engaging corporate holiday party. It gives people something to talk about and eliminates awkwardness.
Bear Inclusivity in Mind: We find that branding your celebration as a holiday party makes sure no one feels left out, no matter what holiday they’re celebrating this winter.
The earlier the better, since prime holiday dates fill up fast! 3-6 months in advance is best. Particularly if you are booking a popular venue or vendors.
A budget corporate holiday party at the office will likely cost $50- $100 pp. A party at a restaurant, event venue, or sports and game complex will cost closer to $75-$300pp.
This is the dealer’s choice! The benefit of a party during work hours is typically a higher attendance rate. The benefit of after-hours is that it can feel more festive and easier to get loose and relax.
This depends on your budget and event goals. An in-office party is best for teams on a budget. Outside venues tend to feel more special but they are higher budget and need to be planned further in advance.
Avital’s Interactive Meal is very popular for office party xmas celebrations. Organizers love that Avital Experiences plans everything from the menu, to the drinks, to the activities with no surprise fees. The expert host on-site during the event means you can actually sit back and enjoy the event along with everyone else.
