Saddle up for some holly-jolly trouble, partner! Santa’s Saloon is now open at Palms Casino Resort welcoming guests Wednesday through Sunday nights (including Christmas Eve but closed Christmas Day) through Dec. 28.

Located on the casino floor near Scotch 80 Prime (in the former La Popular and Bobby Flay’s Shark), this rowdy, cheeky and immersive holiday pop-up blends Western saloon energy with irreverent Christmas theatrics.

Over-the-top décor, signature cocktails, outrageous performances and festive, flavorful and filling bites transform the space into a holiday experience that’s anything but traditional.

A Wild West Winter Wonderland

Santa’s Saloon features two fully themed environments: a rustic cowboy dive lit with whiskey-bottle lights, bull horns and bandana-wrapped ornaments and a Frozen Rockies lodge glowing with icy LED effects, artificial snow drifts and a dramatic “Frozen Stagecoach” moment.

Swinging saloon doors, a giant reindeer skull and photo opportunities including the Naughty Jail and Frozen in Ice create a content-ready playground for holiday revelers ready for a fun night out.

A Fistful of Holiday Spirit – Live Entertainment

A rotating cast of off-color Christmas characters roams Santa’s Saloon with scripted performances and spontaneous antics. This is not your average holiday revue – it’s a Las Vegas-style Christmas misadventure complete with burlesque numbers, cowboy toasts and tap-dancing elves.

Boozy, Bold & Branded Cocktails

The cocktail menu delivers laughs, spectacle and flavor in equal measure, including:

• The Good, The Bad & the Naughty – Captain Morgan spiced rum, Chambord, simple syrup, fresh lime juice and muddled blackberries 
• Ain’t That a Kick in the Nutcracker – Tito’s Vodka, Red Bull, mint and lime juice served on the rocks in a small tin cup (souvenir tip cup available for $10)
• Elf’d Up – Casamigos Reposado, grapefruit, lime, ginger syrup, mint, orange bitters, fresh cranberry and orange slice served in a festive porcelain boot

Beer lovers can enjoy Coors and Lone Star served in glass boots and bullhorns.

Holiday Bites Worth Wrangling

Shareable, spirited menu favorites include:

• Mrs. Claus South of the Pole Empanadas Three Ways: short rib, turkey and stuffing and tomatillo cheese
• Ol St. Nick’s Waffle Fry Nachos (the serving is ginormous, and watch out for the jalapenos!)
• O Pretzel Tree, O Pretzel Tree Pretzel Hangs
• Winner Winner Xmas Dinner – chicken wing platter with a Hot Sauce Fountain
• Jack Daniel’s Bread Pudding
• Claus Frosty Night Cap – Strawberries & Cream with edible Santa’s Hat

Even the non-alcoholic “Moo-cktails” bring the fun, with hot chocolate (an over-the-top sugar extravaganza in a large coffee cup) and cheeky names like Buddy’s Favorite Giddy Up! and Jingle Juice.
