It’s no secret that Las Vegas has some of the best Christmas light displays in the country. This is the time of year our Las Vegas Motor Speedway turns into the Glittering Lights. The time of year the Bellagio Hotel goes all out with twinklers. The time of year for Opportunity Village and Ethel M’s Cactus Garden to transform into magical wonderlands.
But it’s not just the strip and other tourist attractions that get so into the holiday spirit. Our residents do too. I know…it’s hard sometimes for the rest of the world to even remember there’s anything beyond the strip. But Las Vegas is growing so much in its culture and bringing in so many new residents every year. Soon people will say “oh that’s right they have casinos too”.
Okay that’s not true, but our citizens should be given credit for their creativity and festive spirit. Especially around Christmas. There are lots of houses in Southern Nevada, and sometimes whole neighborhoods, that go all out for the holidays.
Zaria and I have a tradition on Christmas Eve. We make hot chocolate after it gets dark. Then we get in the car and head out to see all the beautiful houses lit up. But there have been some years where we saw more frustration than lights. Only because we didn’t really know where to go. And the bigger our community gets, the more gas one can spend looking for Christmas cheer.
Last year, we wised up and followed a map of houses in Clark County known for their Christmas displays. And it did not disappoint! There were inflatables, twinkling lights, nativities, giant snowmen, even a life-sized Santa sleigh. We didn’t waste any time looking for Christmas lights, and Zaria had a great time.
So, if you’re planning to take the family out to see lights this year, don’t go alone. Take this guide with you. I’ve put the addresses in order of how efficiently you can drive through the neighborhood without too much doubling back. Enjoy and happy holidays! 🙂 –Wendy Rush
