This December, Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas introduces Western Wonderland, a brand new holiday tradition inspired by the spirit of the Mojave Desert and the magic of the season. Designed as a one-of-a-kind celebration, the month-long experience brings western warmth, elevated festivities, and desert driven design together in a way only Four Seasons can deliver.

Set against sweeping desert skies on The Strip, Western Wonderland transforms the hotel into a holiday haven shaped by rugged beauty and refined indulgence. From fireside traditions and festive cocktails to artful dining experiences and artist-led storytelling, guests are invited to embrace the season the western way and retreat on The Strip, off the grid.

“Western Wonderland brings the heart of the holidays to the Mojave in a way that feels both soulful and unexpected,” says Kelley Moreton, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas. “Each December, Las Vegas welcomes the spirit of the West, from the National Finals Rodeo to the incredible lineup of country artists performing across the city, and our team is proud to craft thoughtful experiences that quietly echo that energy and invite guests to slow down and savour the season, whether that means soaring over the city’s glittering lights by helicopter or setting out on an awe-inspiring desert journey.”

Festive Spirits at PRESS Bar and Lounge and PRESS Patio

PRESS Bar and Lounge saddles up for the season with a lineup of winter cocktails crafted to evoke cozy nights and wide open desert skies. Expect rich flavours, warm spices, and creative nods to the high desert, including the Cowboy Campfire, a smoky, sweet fireside favourite made with Woodford Reserve Kentucky Bourbon, Licor 43, Scotch, marshmallow, and chocolate bitters, reminiscent of s’mores around a western campfire. The Red Rock Winter brings a desert-meets-holiday twist to Margarita lovers with Tequila Herradura, Cointreau, lime, pomegranate, and agave, while the Little Ranger Refresher offers a festive, fizzy treat for the hotel’s youngest cowboys and cowgirls with cranberry, pineapple, and Sprite. Whether gathering after a day at the rodeo or beginning a night out, PRESS is the place to toast to the season.

The festive spirit continues outdoors on PRESS Patio, where the same seasonal cocktail menu is served fireside beneath the Mojave night sky. Guests are invited to settle in for nightly s’mores under the stars, roast marshmallows by the glowing hearth, and warm up with the Frontier Hot Chocolate, a housemade hot cocoa with the option to add Woodford Reserve Kentucky Bourbon for a spirited kick. It is winter in the desert the western way, with a cocktail in hand and a glow in the air.

Just steps away, the PRESS Coffee Bar offers a collection of specialty holiday coffee creations, served morning and afternoon, delivering a cozy pause between desert adventures and festive evenings. Signature selections include the Snowcap Peppermint Mocha, a blend of dark and white chocolate with cool peppermint, finished with cold foam and crushed candy cane and inspired by rare snowfall dusting the red rock and Joshua trees at desert sunrise. The High Desert Gingerbread Latte pairs spiced gingerbread with bold espresso and silky cold foam, capturing the warmth of the Mojave as the morning air turns crisp, while the Mojave Morning Nog blends creamy eggnog and espresso with freshly grated nutmeg for a rich and comforting pour made for slow desert mornings and golden afternoon light.

Signature Experiences Above the Strip and Beyond

Western Wonderland extends beyond the hotel with a collection of curated experiences designed to showcase Las Vegas from every angle. Guests can take in the city from above with the Vegas Views Helicopter Tour, a breathtaking flight over The Strip that reveals the glittering skyline from the air. For those drawn to the natural beauty of the region, the Western Journey Helicopter Tour offers an awe-inspiring exploration of the surrounding desert landscape, tracing dramatic terrain and timeless vistas that capture the soul of the Mojave. Each experience is thoughtfully arranged by the Four Seasons team, inviting guests to discover the destination in ways that feel both adventurous and effortless.

Western Whimsy Afternoon Tea at Veranda

Weekends glow at the recently reimagined Veranda - California Brasserie with Western Whimsy Afternoon Tea, offered Saturdays and Sundays through December 21, 2025. This imaginative take on the timeless tradition pairs savoury bites by Chef Jason D’Angelo with sweet confections from Pastry Chef Maruschka Ang and perfectly poured teas, all presented with subtle western whimsy and seasonal elegance. It is an invitation to slow down, sip, and savour the season in signature desert style. Reservations are encouraged.

Artist in Residence Anouk Masson Krantz

Anchoring the celebration in art and authenticity, acclaimed photographer Anouk Masson Krantz joins as Artist in Residence with her exhibition Spirit of the West. Displayed throughout the hotel, her collection captures the soul of the American West through sweeping landscapes and intimate portraits, adding a powerful visual layer to the Western Wonderland experience.

A Desert Season Unlike Any Other

With the National Finals Rodeo in town and a star-studded slate of country music talent performing across Las Vegas throughout December, the city shines with western energy.
