Instead of a been-there-done-that trip to Sin City, try out wholesome-yet-spunky Mesquite, NV, and impress your sweetie this Valentine’s Day weekend with this small town’s romantic allure. Mesquite is that ideal spot with a hot streak that just won't let up. Positioned 80 miles north of Las Vegas, Mesquite offers fine dining, casino gaming, and all the amenities you can imagine without all of the hassle and inconvenience of the Strip.
Out of doors, laze about in total desert serenity or soak up the winter sunshine in a poolside cabana. For those more adventurous couples, you can choose a high-speed, four-wheeled desert safari or a round of championship golf. Either way, the ideal climate, sultry vibe, and highly rated resorts make Mesquite a best kept secret no longer.
So if you want to surprise your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day, we have just the plan for you!
Below are my top suggestions for how to spend this Valentine's weekend with your special someone in tow-
Sneak out of work early and check into the Enclave King Spa Suite at Eureka Casino Resort.
Keeping the magic alive will not be difficult here. This suite boasts a sexy hydro-massage tub where you can unwind à deux, pop open a bottle of our best brut, and enjoy the delicious chocolate-covered strawberries as the welcome amenity. Afterwards, try on the complimentary extra plush bathrobes and relax on the super lux pillow-top mattress. Whether you drove in from Colorado or caught a flight in from elsewhere, you'll appreciate the lovely turndown and time alone. Oh-là-là.
All suites at the Eureka offer premium bedding, a flat screen TV, and more. Learn more about rooms and rates here. To receive a special discount for your next stay, be sure fill out the form below.
After some well-deserved alone time, head to Gregory’s Mesquite Grill for the ultimate romantic dining experience with relaxed service. Replete with a wine cellar and a menu featuring premium filets, it’s not surprising that GMG has been named TripAdvisor’s #1 rated restaurant in Mesquite.
Pro-tip: when dining in, request “Greg’s List” to get a list of wine perfectly paired with your meal. Reservations are highly recommended. Call (702) 346-4646.
We also recommend that you ask for the best bartender in the entire town, Joey, and try one of his signature cocktails. The lemon drop martini is especially remarkable with just enough lemon to cleanse the palette before your next tasty course or divine dessert!
Tuck in early and get some much needed R&R.
Surprise the hubby with an early tee-time at Wolf Creek Golf Club.
There’s a reason why Mesquite has been called a golfer’s paradise. The state has roughly 42 golf communities, nine of which happen to reside within a 10-minute drive of the Mesquite region. My personal favorite is the Wolf Creek Golf Club, one of the undisputed best public golf courses in the country. Making a reservation ahead of time is easy. Contact the golf concierge at golf@eurekamesquite.com.
Get cleaned up after golf, hit the gaming floor at the Eureka, and win some cash! With nearly 1,000 slot machines and table games like blackjack, roulette, and craps, there is something for everyone.
If you enjoy playing slot machines, set your heart ablaze in a Lightning Link Lounge and maybe you’ll even win up to $300 on our Valentine’s weekend Hot Seat drawings; the promotion rewards winners throughout each afternoon and evening with free slot play and all you have to do is play at the lucky machine! More detail can be found here. If you haven't signed up, check out the link at the bottom of the page and be sure to sign up to receive our exclusive deals and promotions.
If roulette is your game, plunk down a few bucks on your anniversary date or beloved's birthdate to test your luck.
If you’ve worked up an appetite, we suggest our renowned Sweetheart's Dinner at Town Square Buffet. This popular buffet is back in action to serve you a classy crab legs and tenderloin special. Our chefs in residence will also have an eclectic and amorous array of special desserts. Save room!
Call (702) 346-4600 to make the buffet reservation in advance! If you fill out the form below, there is a two-for-1 special sent to your email.
Is it Sunday already? Don’t fret…sleep in then try the outdoor hot tub at the Eureka’s pool deck. You can read, lounge, or soak in some sunshine before our signature Champagne Brunch.
Before heading back to the real world, quickly pop into the William Hill Sportsbook, make a bet on the Big Football Game coming up later in the day!
