There is a ton of pregame parties listed. Anyone have some insight? Suggestions? This is not my first bowl game, but my first of the majors. My wife has a ton of cousins in Scottsdale so I am familiar with the area, but open to unique adventures if anyone has a suggestion.

I also have a 2-bedroom guest house rented on a beautiful property near Scottsdale. The couple that was going can't go now. If anyone wants the second bedroom just IM me. Place has a pool and an indoor sauna and firepits outside. $500 for 3 nights. We paid $1100. We are staying close to Scottsdale for the bars and clubs there. Not sure if yall have been, but they have freaking giant clubs in Scottsdale. I am 42 and my wife is 46. Im the TCU grad and my wife is a huge TCU fan. Looking to get crazy at the bars, but staying relatively nice and quiet at the house. No we arent really swingers. Sorry to disappoint even though its fun to play one. We will also have a rental car and can pick up from the airport if you need it. We fly in at 7am from Houston on the 30th and we are staying till the 2nd. Our check-in is 12 I believe.

Here is the listing if you are interested.

Glad u started this thread. That place sounds lovely!

My brother lives in Phoenix and is coming with me to the game and I am wondering what TCU events or parties are going on that are worth it. He’s got other corporate events that sound cool but I’d love to know what else is going on TCU related

Apparently about 300 TCU fans already have bought this tailgate:

The Lola is a restaurant in the Westgate entertainment center, just North of the Stadium. You will need to park at the Stadium and walk over. When there is a gameday the Westgate blocks off parking. You have to have a receipt to say you bought to be okay to park or they tow and they do.

Yeah. Planning on taking an uber to this tailgate. It's selling out today too. Sounds like a ton of frogs which is great.

My dad and I will be driving out there the 29th. Staying in Las Cruces, then finishing the drive on the 30th. Leaving the 2nd to head back to DFW.

We'll be meeting my brother, his wife, my nephew, and nephew-in-law out there. Brother is driving, nephews are flying. Should be a strong showing of frog faithful.

Here is a couple things for New Years Eve and the Bowl game. Not finding much around the bowl game.


Fiesta Bowl Activities: There are more events on the main site as well.





New Years Eve Parties

Dinner and Chill

Where To Go For New Year’s Eve In Scottsdale​

When it comes to NYE you have a few options: stay in and hang out with friends (boring), go to one of the many restaurants offering a New Year’s Eve prix fixe meal and toast in 2022 that way, bar hop Old Town, get a table at a club or go to one of the big events. This year, I would opt for big events. It’s a whole new world out there. This is not the year to go low-key after being stuck at home during the quarantine last year.

New Year’s Eve At The Princess​

Each year the Fairmont Princess does a bang-up job with a themed event, beautiful grounds, Insta-worthy backgrounds, DJ and fireworks. This year’s theme hasn’t been announced yet but it will certainly be over the top. All the decorations will still be up from Christmas which is a sight to behold. They have over 6 million lights put up and ice skating rinks, ferris wheel, carousel and all the holiday spirits you want.

Gamble While Partying​

Change up your plans and gamble at Talking Stick Resort to close out the decade. Something that’s never a gamble is how much fun you’ll have at Raven Events. Raven throws great parties and events all year but her New Year’s Eve Gala is a can’t miss. Top Golf is also hosting a New Year’s Eve event. If you want to go to another party at TSR casino, Mirror Ball is always a great option too. There’s nothing wrong with party hopping!

NYE 2022 In Old Town Scottsdale​

Practically every club in Old Town will have a special event happening for New Year’s Eve. Your best bet is to contact a VIP host and tell them what you’re looking for so you can find the right event for you and your squad. Get an All-Access Pass and bar crawl through 8 different venues in Old Town with drink specials. The W Hotel in Old Town is a great scene and they’ll be hosting the Genesis New Year’s Eve Party with a W drop at midnight and fireworks. If you’re in downtown Phoenix, Golden Margarita is going to be a hot spot and a lot of fun. If you’re in Tucson or just want to see something a little different, check out the Taco Bell NYE Downtown Bowl Bash and watch the taco drop at midnight.

Big Events For NYE In Scottsdale​

There are a lot of big events happening in Scottsdale for New Year’s Eve. Come back to this page for additional events as they are announced. We update daily in December. If crazy parties, taco drops or bar crawls aren’t your thing, class it up with the Phoenix Symphony’s new year’s eve celebration with Leslie Odom, Jr or have a prix fixe dinner at Eddie V’s or Toca Madera.

Snow In The Desert​

Fun for the whole family, the Phoenix Zoo brings in 30 tons of snow for the kids. While it’s not in Scottsdale, definitely worth checking out. Also worth checking out are the holiday events at Butterfly Wonderland and the Aquarium but not specifically for New Year’s Eve.
