Cathedral City, CA
In celebration of 30 years of world-class gaming and entertainment in Greater Palm Springs, Agua Caliente Casinos is transforming the Agave Caliente Tequila Bar into a full holiday spectacular with its month-long AGAVE CALIENTE JINGLE & MINGLE celebration. From December 1–31, guests will step into a festive wonderland filled with twinkling lights, oversized ornaments, immersive photo moments, themed cocktails, and nightly holiday programming.
This year’s celebration reaches new heights, highlighted by an outdoor performance of “Jass Meaghar’s Mariah Christmas” on the Agave Caliente Terraza—an energetic tribute concert that promises to bring Mariah Carey’s holiday magic to life under the desert stars.
“We opened Agua Caliente Cathedral City five years ago and have hosted everything from yoga and outdoor concerts to roller-skating nights and vibrant community events,” says Pearl Aguinaldo, Vice President of Marketing for Agua Caliente Casinos. “This season, we’re turning it all the way up. From star bartenders and surprise pop-ups to dazzling décor and themed entertainment, every visit will feel like stepping inside a living holiday celebration.”
Guests can enjoy a Naughty or Nice Cocktail Menu, festival nights, contests, star bartenders, and live DJs spinning into the late hours—making the venue one of the valley’s must-visit spots for spirited holiday fun.
