How to participate:

  1. Book a behind the scenes, complimentary VIP tour and Tram ride for your staff with me at jfox@sandiapeak.com.

  2. Plan 1-2 hours for the total visit.

  3. Submit a list of all participating attendees including First & Last Name, Department and contact info.

This program has been designed to share behind the scenes information of the Tram along with the natural beauty of the Sandia Peak Mountains and the city of Albuquerque from above. We recognize our hoteliers as some of the best front-line, Albuquerque experts around and we want to share the Sandia Peak Experience with them.  

Due to the high volume of hotels and staffing around ABQ, we are limited to 7-10 complimentary staff, per hotel property, per year depending on the size of your hotel. The main focus for this program, will be frontline staff (front desk, concierge, groups/sales manager).

New Mexico State Law on Hotel Compliance Regarding Tenancy Termination, Evictions and Rate Changes


Quick Read on Minimum Wage

Follow the strictest of the ordinances that apply to your location.   If you are within the city limits of a city with its own minimum wage (Albuquerque, Las Cruces, or Santa Fe), follow the guidelines of your city. If you are outside of the incorporated city limits, but your county has its own minimum wage (Bernalillo County, Santa Fe County), follow the guidelines of your county.  Follow the minimum wage in New Mexico if you are not in an area listed above.

IMPORTANT NOTE:   If your city or county has posted a minimum wage that is LESS than the State’s Minimum Wage, you must use the higher State wage.  If your city or county has posted a minimum wage that is MORE than the State’s minimum wage, you must use the higher city or county wage.  You must always follow the strictest option.

Note:  RATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE  based on ordinances and local governments.  Always consult with your city or county’s website for verification.  Some entities may have possible increases linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or other indices.
