About Us

A plate of nachos with toppings and sides.

Ask anyone who's walked through the doors of Elks Lodge #408 and they'll tell you the same thing: it doesn't look like much from the outside, but when it cranks, it cranks. That phrase, borrowed straight from a member who's visited lodges coast to coast and calls this one his favorite, captures something real about this place. The room fills up, the laughter gets loud, and the bartender already knows what you're drinking.

Situated on Collins Drive in Las Vegas, New Mexico, Lodge #408 has been a cornerstone of this high-desert community for generations. Members drive in from 30 or 40 miles out, some passing through Mora County just to make it to Friday Bingo Night. That kind of loyalty doesn't happen by accident. It's built on a culture of genuine welcome, where a stranger at the bar becomes a familiar face by last call.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has stood for charity, justice, and brotherly love since 1868, and Lodge #408 carries that mission forward every week. From community fundraising to honoring veterans, this lodge punches well above its size.

What We Offer

Bingo Night is the heartbeat of the social calendar here. Regulars arrive early, stake their tables, and fill the room with the satisfying click of daubers. It gets competitive, it gets crowded, and it gets fun. If you want a seat, arrive ahead of time because the regulars do not wait.

Beyond bingo, the lodge offers a full-service bar staffed by bartenders who take their hospitality seriously. Members and their guests gather here after work, after ball games, and after long weeks. The atmosphere is relaxed, the pours are honest, and the conversation flows easily.

Lodge #408 also organizes charitable giving and community programs consistent with the national Elks mission, including scholarship support, veteran recognition, and local fundraising events. Membership opens the door to all of it, along with reciprocal access to Elks Lodges across the country.

"Stayed overnight at the elks Lodge RV section. The RV hookup section was in very bad repair and the guy next to me was using his outlet and mine so we had the management unplug him. Didn't offer much to do and unfortunately I left my sunglasses at the bar countertop but they said they belong to someone else."

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
