My brothers and I threw a surprise party at the Longhorn Party Pad in honor of my mom's 70th…read morebirthday on April 20, 2024. It's located on the north side of Hobbs, NM. I was concerned about the possible lack of parking, but there ended up being plenty. I reserved this fairly large facility from 3PM to midnight for a charge of $960 due upon arrival. A $100 deposit was required for a cleanup fee. If your group cleans up, the deposit is returned. Overall, my group of about 50 guests had a great time and was impressed, however, it was not without a few pitfalls. There are several ways to bring this place from good to great & I'm rooting for them because I want this husband/wife duo to do well: - the lone bathroom! The toilet is raised with a steep step which was not user-friendly even for my athletic 5'6" body much less for my handicapped aunt. She went home early due to this. - several tables & chairs were not in good working condition - weird wood piece on the wall that prevented the fridge from shutting nicely - the arcade games devoured everyone's quarters! Lol. - as an owner, I would supply a list of policies and infractions for renters along with consequences. Everything told to me was verbal. I don't have THAT much faith in humanity even with cameras on the premises and the owners living next door. A contract would keep both sides honest. - last, but certainly not least, it was difficult to understand just exactly what was included in the reservation price due to the owner opting to text instead of call. I'm a so-called millennial, but I hate text messaging. So I relied heavily on my Facebook photo investigative skills to determine certain information. PROS + bluetooth speaker + toilet paper & paper towels + alcohol allowed + separate party rooms + fridge/freezer + microwave + TVs + arcade game room + playground set + basketball hoop + sand volleyball court + foldout tables & chairs + outdoor lighting + 2 bounce houses (weather permitting for one of them) + ample parking + several trash cans & extra liners I'd do a few things differently, but my mom had a special time and that's what mattered.

This place is a little hard to find. But plenty of parking space!! It's decorated so nice and it's SO clean. I wish I had gotten more photos of everything, the place was HUGE and workers were very nice and attentive! The rooms for the groom and bride were spacious as well, if you're looking for a venue for an event, I would definitely recommend this place!

Link to their…read morewebsite: http://www.horseshoeknoteventcenter.com/home.html Fair warning: A trail of dust will follow as you navigate the country roads. To tell the truth, I was surprised certain wedding attendees made it on time since it's so secluded. Lol. My cousin and his long time significant other finally recently got married here. It was perfect for their laidback lifestyles. The bride's mother - who is a friend of mine - and their family all enjoyed planning their event and working with the employees here. The ceremony took place outside at the gazebo. Guests found their seats on wooden benches. Soon after, the party started in the barn a short walk away... a few chandeliers, rustic interior, and beautiful decorations adorned the space. The restrooms were always very clean and tidy. The bartenders, provided by Horseshoe, were friendly and quick. Security was also provided by Horseshoe, but I was a bit taken aback by uniformed sheriff deputies. Nonetheless, no one got kicked out or arrested, not even my rowdy husband. Overall, this is a charming place for a wedding venue or a special event. Highly recommended. '18 Challenge #28

The Lea County Event Center is often referred to the locals as "the coliseum."…read more While it is the largest indoor stadium of sorts in the entire county, its size pales in comparison to big city venues. My first recollection of this facility was when I was still in grade school. My mom took me and my best friend at the time to a country concert starring Tracy Lawrence with then up-and-comer Toby Keith. Because this is not an extravagantly huge venue, there really isn't a bad seat in the house. We didn't sit particularly close to the "Time Marches On" crooner, but could see his facial expressions just fine. I've been here for many more events since: professional bullriding, motocross, monster trucks, arts & crafts fairs, the local community college and area high school graduations, etc. Working with the county on many projects in this building for several years was also a good experience. The County has decided to seek ideas for upgrades with the LCEC. I hope that the parking doesn't get chaotic. Please ensure there is ample parking... even maybe a parking garage in the future? Can't wait to see the changes!

They have an airbnb right next door which made everything so much easier for us and my family was able to stay all together for a very low price. We were able to bring our own catering and bartender. There were 2 bathrooms which I thought was awesome and 1 of them even had a shower! When my guests arrived there was more than enough room to park in the back which was a huge plus as well! There was a fridge and a stove in the kitchen with shelving and it's own door for the caterers to have their own space. All around place was super amazing and I definitely recommend booking with them, they definitely deserve the 5 stars and more!

Guest cannot bring in anything at all not even a simple water bottle for a babies bottle all for them to make more money off guest and sell a water bottle for $3 a shot $10 and they had an under age girl behind the bar working for them and yes if you book till 2am they start kicking you out as early as 1am with real cops and security there to intimidate you and lights on by 1:45am. Security is rude, but I understood why when the real cops got there they were rude as well talking to the music people rude how they gonna have to leave by 1:45 am cause the lights were gonna come on by then.

Cotton Creek Barn had my review removed stating it "depicted an experience not at this location".... I have dozens of photos to prove that we were at THE Cotton Creek Barn in Tahoka, TX. The food was awful: the chicken was dry and tasteless, macaroni-and-cheese tasted like a box mix, definitely not homemade, scalloped potatoes were bland tasteless (no salt/pepper shakers were available), cupcakes were dry. Definitely the worst wedding food we have ever had. We talked about how bad it was all the way home. The servers wore cut-off blue jean shorts & t-shirts, for a wedding. They started picking up the table runners before the wedding was even over, which caused a drink that someone had left on our table to spill all over my glasses which were on the table. We were standing right there, but she did it so quickly that we didn't have time to even offer to pick them up. Then when she saw that they were ours (we picked them up and were shaking them off), she just kept going like it was our fault. No apology.
