The holidays are near, and a place with as much glitz and glam as Las Vegas has some spectacular light displays. We’ve rounded up some of the coolest light shows around the city. Some have been dazzling locals and tourists for 3 decades, while others are new in town. Without further ado, here are 8 magical places to see the Christmas lights in Las Vegas.
1. Enchant
Enchant is the world’s largest illuminated winter wonderland. Silver and gold lights shaped like snowflakes and trees line this gorgeous light-studded maze, suited for the entire family. Wander the maze, glide along the ice skating trail, savor seasonal food and drink, visit Santa and Mrs. Claus, and take in a bird’s-eye view of the dazzling lights from the Ferris Wheel. Don’t forget to explore their special events, such as Country Christmas, Paws & Claus, or Ugly Christmas Sweater Night.

2. Sam’s Town
This magical display at Sam’s Town’s Mystic Falls Park has over 26,000 points of dazzling lights to enchant you this Christmas in Las Vegas. From now until January 1st, you can view their 18-foot Christmas Tree decorated to the nines, a nine-minute holiday laser light show, and a flurry of fake snow every night to make it a white Christmas in Las Vegas. Sam’s Town has been doing this jolly Christmas Town tradition since 1994, and the festivities begin at 4 PM.
3. Glittering Lights Drive-Thru
Fans of holiday light displays have probably heard of Glittering Lights, the famous drive-thru light show at the Motor Speedway. When we say there’s a lot of Christmas lights, we mean over 6 million of them. Grab your family, bring some hot cocoa, turn the channel to Ho-Ho-Radio, and start the journey. They also have a Santa Tram, where someone else does the driving and you can sit back and relax Tickets for this dazzling Christmas lights display are $39 per vehicle.
4. Vincelli Ave.
Less than 30 minutes off the strip is Vinicelli Ave., a neighborhood where all the houses agree on one thing: Christmas lights are in. This cozy (and free) Christmas lights display is another great drive-thru experience. Each house is decorated with different lights, characters, or following different themes. To help out, VegasFamilyEvents puts together a map of which homes are putting on Christmas light displays, which you can check out here.
5. Ethel M Holiday Cactus Garden Lights
This 2-in-1 holiday activity combines great chocolate with holiday lights, set amongst a cactus garden. What plant could be more fitting for Vegas, right? This is the 32nd edition, the biggest in the city, with twinkling Christmas lights and holiday decor. They’re open until January 3, from 5 PM. This year, entrance costs $3, and it all goes to Help of Southern Nevada and Three Square Food Bank.
