Weddings are big events, and important ones, especially to the bride. Engaged couples want everything to go right, but wedding planning takes time, and it helps to have experience at hand where your wedding is being held. The historic Plaza Hotel team is experienced and ready to roll up its sleeves to work and help plan and coordinate your wedding or family gathering.

The services we provide include helping you find the right photographer and the right venue for your photos, ordering flowers, offering wedding cake suggestions, advice on decorating the room in your colors and style, and help in finding the right classic car, limo or carriage for your transportation! We can also help you find musical entertainment for your wedding, whether it be a DJ or a band.

We understand that we share responsibility for ensuring that the theme of the wedding is reflected in all aspects of the wedding. From the place settings, the flowers, the cake and to the wedding dress: everything should be in sync with each other. We will help to make all of this happen, and to create an absolutely memorable event.

Over the years, The Landmark Grill has managed to skirt the here-today-gone-tomorrow fate of many eateries by being, simply but defiantly, the place where all of Las Vegas loves to eat. A favorite of locals and travelers alike, the Landmark Grill welcomes patrons to breakfast, lunch and dinner 365 days a year. Bright, hospitable and staffed with a friendly team and welcoming atmosphere, our formal dining room is a reminder of our Victorian origins, light and bright with high ceilings and windows that overlook the Las Vegas Plaza. Our food is definitely 21^st Century Americana with a New Mexican flare, offering a wide range of familiar selections plus daily lunch specials and weekly dinner specials. Sunday brunch is accompanied by live acoustic guitar music. Our setting and staff may be formal, but we welcome all patrons, from the more formal to those in comfortable summer travel wear.

“We’ll be formal, you come as you are,” says Kevin Rael, one of our food and beverage managers.

LIVE MUSIC EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT 

No image of the Old West would be complete without a local saloon or “watering hole” in the picture. When America began to grow westward, it can be said that the expansion was from saloon to saloon. Perhaps the saloon was simply the American reinvention of the English pub, but regardless, its role in the expansion and settlement of America is undisputed.

The saloon was where the local news was gathered, and it was often the meeting place of note for miles around. Thirsty settlers and cowboys made their way there in search of a whiskey to wet parched throats. Saloons of the West began to sprout up wherever the pioneers established a settlement or where trails crossed.

Byron T.’s Saloon is everything that you would expect in a true local establishment. Located in the front of the historic Plaza Hotel and overlooking the historic Las Vegas Plaza, Byron T.’s incorporates all that you would expect is a true western saloon with character.  And it still serves the purpose today that it served in late 1800′s – a place where all of the Las Vegas goes to relax and slow down at the end of a long day.

Montezuma Hot Springs Special:

It’s a five mile drive to the Montezuma Hot Springs from Las Vegas, New Mexico. Three hundred years ago, the Apache ran these lands. They caught fat rabbits in brush skirting the forest and collected prized piñon. When their warriors found themselves slashed with wounds of life and war, they laid down weapon and suspicion and pressed body into ground along the banks of what would one day be called the Rio Gallinas. Healing waters bubbled around them – geothermal hot springs filled with lithium and sulphur. The Apache filled their injuries with the warm silt that rose to the surface of the lands. In order not to offend the Great Spirit and risk losing this gift of healing, the area around the springs was considered an area of peace.  No fighting took place in the immediate area, no game was hunted. The Apache consecrated the springs and surrounding areas as sacred ground.

Montezuma Castle loomed large above the Rio Gallinas, a statement of stark architectural beauty and elegance, framed by a hillside of cultivated foliage. The site was initially commercialized in 1840, when a man named McDonald petitioned the Mexican government for the land, and was granted it on the condition he became a Mexican citizen. He built a simple wooden house by the hot springs, and charged admission. In 1846, after the territory of New Mexico was conquered by the U.S. Army and seized from Mexico, a military hospital was established near the waters. Converted into a hotel in 1862, and replaced by a stone building in 1879, the Old Stone Hotel – the administrative center of the United World College – still watches over the hot springs. Jesse James and Billy the Kid threw cards in an old adobe near here, and spent an evening or two together, soaking up precious minerals in the rejuvenating waters.

Today, visitors no longer need to lie on hot water soaked ground to enjoy the springs’ soothing properties. Over the years a collection of pools have been built, each with a distinct personality. Ranging from the beloved “Lobster Pot” – a scalding hot circular stone pool of 120 degrees – to an earth-lined large natural pool of 102.7 degrees called “Africa” because of its recognizable shape. All pools are free of charge and open from dawn to dusk. Patrolled by the United World College, the site remains pristine, natural, calm. Visitors to Las Vegas can enjoy the best of all local worlds – a trip to the hot springs, including extra towels, a map and flip flops, along with a special overnight rate thanks to the Historic Plaza Hotel in the heart of the city’s Arts and Culture District.
