FAQ's for NYE

 

  1. What is going on??

The New Sanno's Annual New Year's Eve Gala! A hotel-wide party with something for everyone. There will be A' la Carte dinner options in BZQ, Pacific Standard, and Kikuya at your leisure. Kids are welcome for a pool party and early countdown at The Edge. Fairwinds, Ballroom, and Lobby will all have music and libations, a grand hor d'oeuvres buffet in the Ballroom, and the Bass drop at Midnight! Full hours of operations are below.

 

  1. What does my NYE Gala package rate include?

Your room includes access to the Ballroom and Fairwinds, party favors, and some in-room treats to welcome you. Your room will offer you some extras not available to walk-in guests.  Included is:

  • A welcome bottle of bubbles in your room, accompanied by a few light snacks, to start your evening.
  • Access to the Ballroom and Fair Winds festivities
  • A welcome drink in the Ballroom
  • NYE party favors
  • A morning Bloody Mary and 10% off breakfast in Pacific Standard.

 

  1. What is on the menu?

The restaurants will all be open until 20:30 (BZQ until 22:00) with special courses or selected menus for the evening. Our new concept, Theo's, will not be available. In the Ballroom from 21:00 to 23:30, a grand spread of tapas, hors d'oeuvres, a seafood tower, sliders, salads, and sweets will be available. There will be a variety of seating options, much like a nightclub, including dining tables, soft couch areas, and high tops to enjoy as the night progresses, all designed to accommodate a larger dance floor. At Fairwinds at 23:30, we will open a giant Nacho Supreme bar, the perfect way to get prepared for 2026!

 

  1. What about drinks?

We will have those! Starting in the Lobby at 19:00, a Bubble Bar with sparkling drinks and chill vibes. At 21:00, both Fair Winds and the Ballroom open with full-on cocktail bars. Crafted cocktails, mocktails, wines, and beers are available. Cash and Credit Card accepted at the bar, no tabs, sorry.

 

  1. Can I invite people from outside as a sponsor if I have a CAC card?

Yes!  Eligible sponsors and ID card holders can invite guests just as they would for a regular event. The limit is 6 people, and they must follow all standard security entrance regulations and protocols. The fee is $100.00 for access after 9:00 p.m., with access to all events.
