Each of the UNO x Vrbo getaways are bookable for select weekends this summer. All six homes will include everything needed to bring friends and family together to play, laugh, and shout, “UNO!” Travelers can choose from two top-tier “Wild Card” stays, featuring UNO-themed décor, an UNO game night, an UNO x Vrbo Welcome Kit and an in-home dining experience, or four “Play It Your Way” stays in top destinations that feature the UNO x Vrbo Welcome Kit for groups that just want to play, offering comfortable, group-friendly amenities and a more flexible way to experience the getaway. In a nod to the fan-favorite UNO “Draw 4” card, all stays will be available for just $4 per night on a first-come, first-served basis. Now, that’s a game changer!

Katie Buford, Vice President and Global Head of Mattel Games said, “UNO isn’t just a game, it’s a spark that brings people together, from fueling friendly rivalries to creating lasting memories. With Vrbo, we’re bringing UNO into these homes and turning them into game-night destinations, giving fans a new way to connect, compete, and play together wherever they are.”

Helen Melluish, Vice President of Marketing at Vrbo said, “Vrbo has always been about friends and families spending real time together on vacation, and partnering with UNO builds on that idea in a simple, playful way. While the game of UNO can be full of surprises, guests can trust that these Vrbo properties will be quality places they won’t want to leave.”

Bookable Game-Night Getaways You’ll Never Want to Leave

“Wild Card” Stay
UNO and Vrbo are debuting two “Wild Card” homes outfitted with all the trappings of a top-tier game night. Located in the Hollywood Hills and Texas Hill Country, the luxurious properties were designed for an unforgettable game night getaway that’s anything but ordinary. The “Wild Card” stays will feature UNO themed décor, UNO game nights and an in-home dining experience.

  • “Wild Card” Stay in Los Angeles, California: May 29 - June 1
  • “Wild Card” Stay in Austin, Texas: June 19 - 22 

“Play It Your Way” Stay
Four “Play It Your Way” Stays will be available from July through August in some of Vrbo’s top vacation destinations and come with an UNO x Vrbo Welcome Kit so you can make the experience your own. Whether travelers want to experience the fresh Rocky Mountain air or play UNO in the sand, each “Play It Your Way” Stay has a game room, pool or hot tub, and other fun amenities guests can enjoy.

  • “Play It Your Way” Stay in Winter Park, Colorado: July 10 - 13
  • “Play It Your Way” Stay in Palm Desert, California: July 17 - 20

For a chance to book one of the six UNO x Vrbo homes for up to 10 guests, visit Vrbo.com/UNO at 1:00 pm ET/10:00 am PT on Friday, May 15. All bookings are first come, first served, so mark your calendars and set your alarms to secure your reservation.

As part of the partnership, UNO and Vrbo created a custom deck, featuring illustrations by Pietari Posti, that will be included in each UNO x Vrbo home. The card illustrations are inspired by popular travel destinations and vacation pastimes travelers can experience with Vrbo. The deck also features its own custom rule - the Vacation Rental Swap Rule - which allows players to swap hands with any other player after playing the card.

Building on the launch of Mattel and Expedia Group’s partnership, which kicked off with Ken’s Expedia Super Bowl commercial, this collaboration continues to turn iconic play into unforgettable travel experiences.
