The holidays are all about giving. But don’t forget to treat yourself this year as well. Recharging your batteries means you’ll have extra energy to care for—and utterly spoil—friends, family, and loved ones.

While you’re there, don’t forget to snag tickets to the hottest New Year’s Eve Party in town. Tickets are $40 and the night is a glamorous Roaring 20s theme. The Emerald City 5 and special guest DJ Equis will keep your toes tapping, bob bobbing, and flapper finery moving to the music all night long.

Rockin’ January
Exactly one month later, dig out the leather jackets, ripped jeans, and hairspray for an epic ‘80’s throwback. Skid Row performs at the Skookum Creek Event Center on Friday, January 31 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets range from $30 to $45 and can be purchased online or the Little Creek box office.
Founded in 1986, Skid Row hasn’t slowed down one bit and is blazing through our area as part of their grand European tour. “It’s still about writing a great song with your friend, praying it connects with someone. That has never left me. That willfulness will always exist, and there’s so much left to say!,” says guitarist and original band member Dave ‘The Snake’ Sabo. Get in the mood beforehand by streaming some of their 30+ year catalog of head-banging, big hair, rock and roll hits.
Call the hotel’s front desk and ask about the Rockstar resort package, which includes event tickets, breakfast for two, and the opportunity to swipe and win free play in a special guest promotion. Or rest up the next day with a hotel package with spa and golf access as well.
Whenever you visit, bring your Players Club card for a chance at cash and prizes galore. Upcoming promotions include Social Media Mondays, where you can win a share of $250 by tagging Little Creek on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, and Double Points every Tuesday. Don’t have a card yet?

November and December are for giving thanks and celebrating friends, family, and those we love. In January, we look ahead to the fresh, unspoiled new year ahead of us. Make time to step away, refresh, recharge, and start things out with excitement and enthusiasm. Remember that—in the words of Skid Row—“Life comes and goes, quick as does the day/Greed, for those who know is just a step away/Time’s a breathing bomb, going with the flow/Stand atop it all outside the status quo.”
Less than 30 minutes from Olympia, Little Creek has it all. Follow them on Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube for updates, specials, virtual tours, and more. For tickets, room and dining reservations, or questions, call them at 800-667-7711.
