The Deck at Once Upon a Time in America Museum

Private Events & Venue Rental

There is no venue like this anywhere.

Four distinct spaces. 40,000 square feet. The red cliffs of Southern Utah as your backdrop. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or an event for 130, we have a room that fits.

A private event your guests will still be talking about.

The museum and saloon offer four bookable venues, each with a completely different atmosphere. Every event includes full museum access for your guests at no additional charge — which means your guests get a private tour of 40,000 square feet of American history, Hollywood memorabilia, and classic cars as part of their evening. We have a full kitchen, a full bar, a movie projector and audio system with microphone, and a team that can tailor a custom menu to your needs. There is nothing else like this in Southern Utah.

Full Museum Access Included

Your guests explore all six rooms as part of their event. No additional charge.

Full Kitchen & Custom Catering

We tailor a menu to your group. From cocktail receptions to sit-down dinners.

AV System Included

Movie projector, audio system, and microphone available for presentations and speeches.

The Venues

Choose your space.

Four venues, four completely different experiences. All bookable exclusively for your event.

The Deck

The Deck

Up to 30 guests

An elevated covered patio on the front of the building with a 180-degree view of the Vermilion Cliffs — on a clear day you can see over 50 miles. The deck can be fully enclosed or left open depending on the weather, with full heating and ceiling fans to keep your guests comfortable year-round. Full bar and alcohol service available. The view alone makes this one memorable.

The Loft

The Loft

Up to 28 guests

An upstairs bar styled like a 1970s roadhouse — wood paneling, pressed tin ceiling, neon beer signs, pool table, shuffleboard, darts, and video games. This is not a corporate meeting room. It is the kind of space that gets people talking to each other. Full bar and alcohol service available. Best for casual gatherings, birthday parties, and team outings where the vibe matters.

Paria Town

Paria Town

130+ guests

A full-scale indoor 1880s ghost town — church, saloon, Wells Fargo building, stocked general store, and Benny Binion's stagecoach parked out front. Polar bear, giant moose, bison, and taxidermy from Alaska to the Utah desert surround the space. Beer and wine available under a special permit. For events where you want your guests to feel like they stepped into another world, this is the room.

The Horsepower Corral

The Horsepower Corral

Dinner surrounded by 30+ classic and rare vehicles, including the Back to the Future DeLorean. Checkered floors, vintage neon, automotive murals covering every wall.

Ample Parking

Acres of free parking with space for all vehicle sizes including RVs and oversized vehicles.

We were there for a club event which turned out really nice. This is someone's private family collection and it's very interesting and laid out very nicely including antique vehicles. The owner did a tour of his collection and had explanations about everything. This venue is rentable and they can provide catering.
