THE PATIO AND THE GRILLE
The Valley in October offers cool nights just perfect for cocktails or dinner on The Patio, so come a little early and enjoy the most beautiful sunsets imaginable as the city lights begin to sparkle below.
While you enjoy the delicious specialties on our new dinner menu, we are once again ready to entertain you with live music nightly, starting at 6 p.m. For a schedule of who’s playing on what nights, visit our website at lassendas.com.
And with our winter residents and visitors having not yet returned, competition for the best tables should be a little less intense. To secure your place, dinner reservations can be made on our website at lassendas.com, or at opentable.com.

The architecture of this spectacular venue was carefully designed, and its location, elevated on a mountainside, affords panoramic views of the golf course, surrounding mountains, the Valley, sunsets and city lights.
The interior design features warm neutral colors, elegant wall sconces, and stunning paisley carpet specifically chosen to enhance the ambiance of the room. The pride and joy of the venue is the massive wrap-around patio on the upper level of the Pavilion, offering views to surpass all expectations. Most events hosted at the Pavilion during sunset hours have rewarded each and every guest with amazing sunsets. “This venue has by far the best views I have ever experienced,” is an often-heard comment.
The Vistas also is known for the highest quality of service for weddings, banquets and corporate events. The Vistas can accommodate large or small weddings, and offers a choice of four different ceremony locations. Special touches, such as a separate bridal room, add to the occasion. Wedding packages include a variety of exquisite cuisine options designed by the executive banquet chef and his culinary team, with both plated and buffet services available.
Optional services available include valet services, dance floor, all-inclusive packages and many more. The Vistas is adjacent to Bogey’s Restaurant, providing private dining and rehearsal dinner options for a total and complete wedding package.
The Las Sendas Golf Club and the Vistas Pavilion provide a unique urban oasis for any type of corporate event, meeting or conference. Corporate packages have been designed to accommodate large and small groups for morning, afternoon and evening events. The three meeting rooms provide Internet, audiovisual and teleconferencing capacity. Menus have been carefully designed to meet and exceed the expectations of guests locally and from afar. For out-of-town guests, the Hyatt Place and the Marriott are both just 10 minutes away.
Choose The Vistas Pavilion at Las Sendas as a vibrant setting for hosting your special birthday, family reunion or anniversary celebration. You and your guests can experience a magical outdoor location on the patio or an elegant party atmosphere in one of the three indoor banquet rooms, which can accommodate parties from 50 to 300 guests.
Local groups love The Vistas. It has been chosen as the proud host of the annual Alice Cooper Solid Rock Foundation, Phoenix Coyotes Alumni, the Youth Hockey League of Arizona and the Chamber of Commerce golf tournaments.
Our goal is to excite and delight our guests with extensive culinary offerings. Our culinary team has developed a plethora of menu options, including vegetarian and gluten-free choices. Our previous events have featured elegant seafood appetizer stations and chef-attended carving stations, as well as a tantalizing array of tray-passed hors d’oeuvres.
To assist you with your preparations, we have hired a new event coordinator. Lesli Shinn has more than 10 years of experience in the party-planning world, and an unsurpassed level of energy. She plays an important role with our customers and guests. Please feel free to contact her for further information and to work with you in detailing your event to remember.
