Holiday Party at TradeWinds Island Grand Resort
The holiday party everyone actually shows up to.
TradeWinds Island Grand Resort is already booking its December slots — and the question every HR team faces is how to make this year's holiday party different from last year's. A full-motion racing simulator inside TradeWinds Island Grand Resort's event space in St. Pete Beach does exactly that: gives every guest something fun to actually do, keeps the room energized through cocktail hour and dinner, and produces the kind of photos that fill the internal newsletter for weeks.

How this event plays at TradeWinds Island Grand Resort
Corporate holiday parties at TradeWinds Island Grand Resort share a common problem: the first hour is awkward, the second is dinner, and the third is whoever's still around dancing to 2014 pop hits. SimsForHire solves the activity gap with a professional racing setup positioned as the entertainment hub. Guests drift in and out of the simulator throughout the night, leaderboards update in real time, and by dessert everyone's arguing over whose boss actually has a fastest lap worth bragging about. We bring the equipment, run the experience, and strike everything down before the close of event — your team at TradeWinds Island Grand Resort focuses on hosting while we focus on making the evening memorable.
