Every year, Miracle transforms a local bar, and once again, Miracle Bar returns to Sand Dollar Lounge for another year.

2. Golden Tiki
After Miracle Bar you could head nearby to the kitschy Golden Tiki for 5 Days of Christmas, where the bar turns into a winter wonderland during the 5 days leading up to Christmas. There will be plenty of fun to be had at Golden Tiki. Ugly sweater contests, encounters with Santa and the Grinch, holiday music, and of course, Christmas-themed tiki drinks.

4. Silverton Casino
If you’re looking for something fun to do this Christmas in Las Vegas, why not party at Silverton Casino with a bunch of retired bad elves that are there to entertain you with a naughty good time? The Bad Elf Holiday Pop Up is back with themed evenings, like their Ugly Sweater Party on Thursday December 14th or the Holiday PJs Party on Thursday December 21st. Whichever evening you decide to attend, there will be special holiday-themed drinks to sip on in a bar fully transformed with garland, lights, a cozy fireplace, kitschy Chrismas decor, and music. One of the most fun and entertaining parties of the season, you won’t want to miss it. The pop up is open until Jan 1st from 5pm-11pm.
Where: 3333 Blue Diamond Rd
5. Superfrico
The Cosmopolitan just got a little cooler. Have you been to this après-ski-cabin-style bar inside the Italian restaurant, Superfrico? Though the bar is open year-round, we consider now a great time to take full advantage and pretend you’re slope-side with some on-theme drinks. The lodge is open daily from 4pm-“late” which gives you plenty of time to enjoy signature pizza, toasted s’mores, and a fireplace alongside great signature cocktails or a premium Whi-ski flight.
Where: The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Level 2, The Chelsea Tower
6. Minus 5 Ice Bar
Another bar that’s open year-round but that suits winter more than any other season in our book. The Linq Promenade, Mandalay Bar, and the Venetian all host a Minus 5 Degrees Ice Bar, a cocktail bar that’s, as the name suggest, entirely made out of the ice from the walls to the chairs to the glasses. Parkas and gloves are definitely recommended. Sip on an icy winter-themed cocktail or warm up with a boozy hot chocolate this Christmas in Las Vegas.
Where: The LINQ Promenade, 3545 S Las Vegas Blvd
7. The Sand Dollar Downtown
The Plaza Hotel has 4 iconic bars and one of them is the Sand Dollar that will be hosting Sippin’ on Santa. The Miracle Bar spin off where holiday-themed tiki drinks are the star of the show. Described as a “merry safari of flavors,” you can enjoy with their Sippin’ Santa cocktail and their North Pole Bowl among a myriad of glowing twinkling lights.
Where: 1 S Main St
