Holiday Group Events

Celebrate the Holidays, Virginia City Style

Skip the ordinary party and step back in time and celebrate the season in a destination that’s more than 150 years in the making. With historic venues, festive entertainment, unique dining experiences and plenty to see and do, Virginia City makes it easy to create a holiday group event that feels anything but ordinary.

In the late 1800s, Virginia City, Gold Hill and Silver City became some of the largest and most influential communities west of Denver. Today, Virginia City still looks and feels much as it did in the 1800s, giving your group the chance to celebrate the holidays surrounded by authentic Old West history and character, only 40 minutes away from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. It’s a memorable change of scenery for company celebrations, organization parties, club outings and group gatherings, whether you’re visiting for the evening or turning your celebration into an overnight getaway.
