Enchant Christmas Light Maze Opening November 22
The moment they step into the park, guests are surrounded by an immersive holiday experience. This year the experience will feature an original story called Reindeer Games. Which will take guests on an adventure through 80,000 square feet of breathtaking light sculptures as they search for the missing bells and animals required to fly Santa’s sleigh.
Stepping into the world of Reindeer Games will give guests the opportunity to mingle with some big players during the holidays: Santa’s reindeer. They’re waiting for Santa to fly the sleigh and decide to play a game that ends up getting the magical sleigh bells lost! So its up to the guests to help find the missing bells and save Christmas.
Guests can also find the lost animals needed to help Santa’s sleigh fly. Including Snowy the owl, who watches over everything at the magical park. Paws the wild cat is the powerful protector of Enchant. There’s a polar bear named Big P, Santa’s most loyal arctic friend. And even more animals, all made of beautiful white Christmas lights. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience every child should have for the holidays in Las Vegas.

5 Expert Tips For Navigating Holiday Travel Delays
1. Fly At Off-Peak Times
One way to avoid potential travel delays is to fly at off-peak times. Overnight and early morning flights are always less crowded.
The most popular times to travel is from afternoon into the late evening. Therefore, try to book an early morning flight. Those are less prone to delays and very often have smaller crowds and shorter security lines. Redeyes are also often light on passengers. For long flights, it might even be helpful to book an overnighter that your kids can sleep on. They won’t be bored and you won’t be stressed about getting through the crowds. It’s a win-win!
2. Fly A Few Days Before The Holiday
While it won’t be this empty in an airport a few days before the holidays, it will be far less crowded than flying out the day before or the day of Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Due to work, school or other demands, most of the world has to travel for the holidays the day before or the day of. Experts advise travelers to try to book a flight at least a few days before Thanksgiving or Christmas to avoid the rush. The same goes for flying home. Pick a few days after the holiday for the easier time spent in the terminal. You might have to take extra time off, but it might be worth avoiding the headache.
3. Pack Smart
Travel delays don’t have to mean meltdowns with the kids. Bringing snacks from home is one way to keep them happy and entertained.
If travel delays are inevitable, experts advise that packing smart is the difference between stress-free travel and total chaos. Bring your own snacks and empty water bottle to fill up after getting through security. This will eliminate the need to get in long lines for food or drink. For my kiddo, I pack a Snackle Box and don’t let them see it until the flight. So everything’s a fun surprise.
4. Don't Make Plans Too Close To Your Flight
Nothing is more stressful than flight delays when you have to be somewhere. Easy solution: don’t make plans the same day you’re traveling. Problem solved.
If you have to be somewhere shortly after your flight is supposed to land, then timing is everything. The way to NOT make timing everything is to allow plenty of it on the other side of your flight. Make a whole day for travel, if you can. That gives you the whole day to get to where you need to be, settle in, and refresh before hitting the holiday plans with the family. Don’t make 7:00 dinner plans when your flight comes in at 6:00pm. That just sets you up for failure.
5. Bring Things To Keep Busy
Travel delays seem much shorter when you keep yourself and your littles entertained. Downloading movies before you leave the house is the best backup plan.
This is especially necessary if you have little ones. Download movies or apps before heading to the airport, and don’t forget the chargers! If you want to mix it up and use fewer electronics during potential travel delays, there are lots of downloadable game cards like airport bingo or scavenger hunts. And don’t be afraid to go old school with those travel board games. They’re time-consuming and take up little space in the carry on.
