New Year's Eve Party

Admission only tickets do not go on sale until after a majority or our overnight guest room packages have been sold, and will be limited. We encourage everyone to take the elevator HOME and guarantee being able to attend. Admission Only tickets will be $225 each, once available.

Sorry, we will not keep a wait list for admission tickets. They will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. To receive the announcement of when these tickets will go on sale, please follow us on Instagram or Facebook for the announcement. The announcement and reservation form will also be posted on this website page.

We will not sell any tickets the night of the event.

Unfortunately, for an event of this size we are unable to offer any packages or tickets without the bar price included. Soda, non-alcoholic soft drinks, mocktails, non alcoholic beer, iced tea, lemonade, coffee & tea will be offered at the event if you do not wish to drink alcohol.

Yes, our hotel offers a limited number of ADA compliant guest rooms with either single king or double queen beds. Each ADA compliant room is wheelchair accessible with visual smoke detectors and features bathroom grab bars, raised toilets, and optional roll-in showers with fold down seating. ADA compliant rooms are based on availability. To purchase a handicap package, please contact our dedicated reservationists at reservations@desmondgv.com to confirm the room type you are looking for and the availability.

Once a purchase is complete no exchange, refunds or cancellations can be made. 

Our ballroom and pre-function area will be closed for the entire day until 9PM when the event begins. We ask that you please observe all of the Closed Areas and Do Not Enter signs throughout the hotel. Entertainment, food and beverage service will not begin until 9PM. However, you are welcome to relax in the Fox & Hounds Pub prior to the event start, where beverages are available to purchase.

Anything goes – whether it’s sequins, jeans or superhero capes, just bring your A-game!

Please see our full New Year’s Eve menu available on our event web page. Food will be available throughout the entire event via Chef-manned stations, displays and butlered  items. Separate bars will be located in the ballroom & Fox and Hounds pub. Our open bars for the evening will contain beers, wines, mixed drinks, champagne, a special signature drink plus a champagne toast at midnight. Soda, water, coffee, non-alcoholic beer, mocktails, iced tea and lemonade will also be offered at the event if you do not wish to drink alcohol.

We take food allergies very seriously and make every effort to produce a menu that can be enjoyed by everyone. For an event of this magnitude however, we recommend that any guests with dietary restrictions carefully review the menu and labeled items and plan ahead accordingly. Due to the number of guests attending, we cannot guarantee that the menu meets any strict dietary needs such as nut-free or gluten-free or that any food item is free from cross-contamination.

Groups of less than 10 will be seated with other guests. We do encourage tables of 10 to be able to reserve an entire table. We ask that you indicate on your reservation form, the other guests that you wish to be seated with. (ALL in attendance must register for the PACKAGES separately.  For instance, one guest cannot purchase 5 overnight guest room packages). You will have an assigned seat available from 9PM – 1AM. Even though this event does not contain a plated, sit-down dinner, food will be available via Chef-manned stations, displays and butlered items throughout the evening. This enables our guests to walk throughout the event to enjoy the games, band, and other entertainment, but have a seat to come back to throughout the night if that is their desire. (Additional seating will be available in our evening 'jazz lounge' -  The Fork & Bottle)
