FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE VIP EXPERIENCE TICKET?
The VIP Experience ticket offers guests an enhanced way to enjoy the Old Hollywood theme and night of luxury. While General Admission provides full access to the dance floor and main event areas, the VIP tier is designed for those wanting additional comfort with designated seats at a table and 2 drink tickets. Because VIP tickets are limited in number to maintain an exclusive atmosphere, they often sell out well before the general admission tiers.
HOW DO I ENTER THE PROMPOSAL CONTEST?
To participate in the Promposal contest, you must document your “promposal,” the creative way you ask a date to the event, through video or photography. Once your content is ready, email your entry to amber@westslopewesties.com. The West Slope Westies team will review these entries and recognize winners as part of the first-ever contest for this annual event.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM THE VENUE TRANSFORMATION?
The Durango Collective, located at 1315 Main Ave., will be completely redesigned to mimic a classic Hollywood glam set. Guests can expect velvet ropes, red carpet entryways, and strategic “glow” lighting to facilitate professional-quality photography. The goal is to create a timeless elegance that makes every attendee feel like a star of the silver screen. The layout will balance high-energy dance spaces with areas for quiet connection and socializing, ensuring that all guests can enjoy the immersive experience.
IS THIS EVENT OPEN TO THOSE LIVING OUTSIDE OF DURANGO?
Absolutely. While the event is hosted in Durango and organized by local partners like Hutton Broadcasting, it is open to all adults aged 21 and older from the Four Corners region and beyond. Many visitors traveling from Northern New Mexico or other parts of Colorado attend Durango events for the social atmosphere. If you are traveling from out of town, the central location on Main Avenue makes it easy to find nearby lodging. Just remember to bring a valid photo ID, as age verification is required for entry into the Adult Prom.
