A Mahj Squad Retreat
Join the Squad in Scottsdale for a long weekend of Mahjong, desert sun, and cocktails — where the tiles come out by the pool and the evenings unfold at the legendary Arizona Biltmore.
You'll be at home at the Arizona Biltmore, LXR Hotels & Resorts — the "Jewel of the Desert" and a Phoenix landmark since 1929. Two nights in Resort Rooms, fully inclusive, with Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired architecture, palm-lined pools, and the Sonoran Desert as your backdrop.
Between rounds, take in Scottsdale the Mahj Squad way: all Mahjong workshops led by Shaw and Kelly, a curated hike through the desert, group dinners and cocktails around the Biltmore and Scottsdale, all gratuities handled, and a few surprises from the Squad along the way.
