Elf Hunt Adventure
Holiday magic has arrived at El Conquistador Tucson. Santa’s elves have traded the North Pole for Tucson sunshine, and now they’re scattered throughout the resort. Instead of wrapping presents, they’ve been enjoying a little desert vacation. Help Santa find his elves before Christmas Eve, and you may receive a special surprise from the North Pole.
This festive adventure is exclusive to overnight guests.
