Desert Manuevers Palm Springs
December 30-January 1
Grand Ballroom at Riviera Resort & Spa, Palm Springs, CA

In Southern California, Jeffrey Sanker and Steve Machuca’s weekend party at the Riviera in Palm Springs promises free-flowing champagne, hunky go-go boys, a state-of-the-art sound system and more. It kicks off Friday with a glow-in-the-dark party, followed by the main event, a military-themed bash on New Year’s Eve proper. With DJ Manny Lehman in the booth, you’ll need a lot more liquids to quench your thirst in this scorching desert getdown.
