Offsites and retreats in Las Vegas, Nevada

If your team is looking for bright lights and entertainment, Vegas is an excellent choice. Transport your team to the bustling Vegas strip where you can trade in email for excitement. 

With no shortage of bars, restaurants, and shows to enjoy, your team can have the freedom to unwind. Of course, there are plenty of surrounding areas to explore as well; be sure to check out the Hoover Dam and take a tour of the city’s Neon Museum to see Las Vegas’ history preserved through signage throughout the decades.

Offsites and retreats in Phoenix, Arizona

You’ll keep wanting to have your company offsites in Phoenix the moment your team sets foot in this beloved Valley of the Sun. The city’s warm, dry climate not only attracts those looking to escape the cold, but also offers a wide array of arts and cultural attractions. Enjoy time outdoors with your team at the Desert Botanical Garden or with a hike up Camelback Mountain. Phoenix also offers a great dining and nightlife scene for team members to enjoy.

Offsites and retreats in Sedona, Arizona

When it comes to company offsite planning in the Southwest, you can’t miss the Red Rock Country of Sedona, Arizona. Steep canyon walls and pine forests in this mild climate are perfect for your team to go bird-watching, hiking, and picnicking. Speaking of picnics, adventurous eaters on your team can try Sedona’s cuisine of rattlesnake sausage and cactus fries… of course, there are delicious empanadas and woodfire pizzas for pickier eaters. Sedona is a great spot for a more relaxed retreat away from the crowds.
