GUIDE: BLACKOUT FOR GROUPS
1. What Blackout Weekend Feels Like With a Group
Coming with a group doesn’t mean moving as a single unit all weekend.
That’s the magic.
Blackout Weekend is built for groups who want shared moments and freedom:
- You can arrive together but split up without friction
- Reconnect naturally at lounges, parties, and headline events
- Everyone gets to follow their own version of the weekend
Some groups ski hard. Some come for après only. Most do a mix.
Blackout Weekend doesn’t force one itinerary. It lets your group flex.
2. Group Packages Make Planning Easier
If you’re rolling with 8 or more, group packages are available and worth a look.
Why groups love them:
- Simplified booking in the ticket flow
- Options designed to keep everyone connected without over-planning
- Perks that work for mixed interests and schedules
Group packages are built to reduce logistics, not lock you into a rigid plan.
Look for the group options directly in the ticket flow when booking.
3. Everyone Doesn’t Have to Do the Same Thing
This is where Blackout Weekend shines for groups.
Your group might include:
- Avid skiers and snowboarders
- Casual riders
- Friends who are here strictly for vibes, music, and après
That works here.
Why:
- Daytime activities split naturally by interest
- Nighttime events bring everyone back together
- Lounges, parties, and shared spaces create easy regroup moments
No one feels like they’re holding the group back.
No one feels rushed ahead.
4. Built-In Touchpoints Keep Groups Connected
Even when your group spreads out, you’ll keep crossing paths.
Blackout Weekend is structured around:
- Official event windows
- Shared lounges and social hubs
- Headline moments everyone naturally gravitates toward
You don’t need a constant group text to stay synced. The weekend does that for you.
5. The App Is Your Group Command Center
For groups, the app becomes the glue.
Use it to:
- Be aware of the itinerary
- RSVP to activities
6. Important Group Booking Note (Don’t Skip This)
If your tickets are booked together or through a group package, there’s one extra step to make sure everyone has the full Blackout Weekend experience.
The group manager should:
- Log into their account
- Add or update each individual group member’s information
Why this matters:
- App invites are sent to individuals, not just the group lead
- Each person needs their own access to schedules, chats, RSVPs, and updates
- It ensures everyone stays looped in before and during the weekend
Once info is updated, we can:
- Send app invites directly
- Share real-time updates with everyone
- Make sure no one misses key moments
Think of it as unlocking the full group experience for every person in your crew.
7. Consider Bed-Banas or Bottle Service
Some group packages include these options, but they can also be added separately depending on availability.
Groups looking to elevate their experience can consider reserving:
- After Drk Silent PJ Party Bed Banas
- Bottle Service at Peek
Why groups love it:
- Easy regroup point
- Ideal for celebrating birthdays, milestones, or just because
Also note that VIP tickets included an area with seating at the PJ Party and shared bottle service,
but some (especially larger) groups may still desire a specific area to gather.
Bottle Service at Peek
- Includes a dedicated, exclusive seating section for your group
- Bottles are selected from a list provided by the venue
- Requires a reservation fee plus a minimum bottle spend
- Standard seating is for 4, 6, or 8 guests
- Contact us for reservations
Bed-Banas (Pajama Party)
- Queen-size bed seating and lounging area with pillows and blanket
- Located outside of the VIP area
- Event wristband is required and not included with Bed-Bana purchase
- Maximum combined weight limit applies
- Book in the checkout flow
Upgrade Option
- Bed-Banas can be upgraded to include bottle service for an additional cost
Both options give your group a reliable meetup point, less waiting, and more time together.
8. Sharing Rooms? This Helps
If your group is sharing rooms, here’s a fun and very practical perk:
Every room at host hotel Harrah’s includes two full bathrooms.
That alone makes group mornings, outfit changes, and late-night resets significantly easier.
Stay at the Host Hotels (It Changes the Experience)!
Why Groups Love Staying at the Host Hotels
- You’re close to official events
- Easy meetups without constant coordination
- No need to share transportation. Everyone can move on their own schedule since events are walkable or accessible via free shuttle
- Everyone has their own space to reset while still staying connected
- Supports varied/mixed arrival and departure days
- You don’t need to wander far late at night
- After some late-night events, you don’t even need to step outside to get back to your room. That proximity makes the weekend feel seamless and social without effort.
- Casinos and shared spaces keep the energy going around the clock!
✅ Pro tip: Blackout rates are only available for a limited time, and some years the entire hotel is sold out. Book early!
