Las Vegas is known for being a huge party town, we all know this - but, it’s also a great place for the holidays! While it may be a bit unconventional, the hotels and restaurants do a great job at creating a city filled with the holiday spirit. If you’re spending your Christmas vacation in Sin City, find some cheer in some of these festive activities!


Ice Skating on the Roof
Spend your evening on the top level of the Cosmopolitan, the only place with an outdoor rink in Vegas! Not only will you be able to enjoy a gorgeous view, but this amazing place features holidays movies on the digital marquee, snow showers every half hour, s’mores roasting at a fire pit, and warm cocktails.


Amazing Light Decorations
Whether you go the light show at the Fremont Street Experience, check out bedazzled cacti at the Ethel M Chocolates Cactus Garden, or drive along the 2.5 mile light display at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, these twinkling lights are sure to put you into the holiday spirit!


Enjoy Some Caroling
OK, well technically the “singing” is done by the Bellagio’s famous dancing fountains. Around this time of year they change the songs to “Santa Baby”, “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”, and more cheery Winter songs!


Holiday Version of a Knight Show
Enjoy a three-course holiday meal and sip eggnog at “Twas the Knight!”, which is featured at the Excalibur. It’s a fun, festive spin on the regular knight show where you can take pictures with Santa in the Fun Dungeon afterwards.


Quest to Find Santa
In this interactive quest, DreamWorks presents Adventure to Santa which is a 2,000 square foot experience where many of their famous characters, such as Shrek, take on guests to help find the big jolly guy in a red suit! The kids will enjoy this activity, and so will you.
