Escape the frigid cold and snow this Christmas and enjoy an extravagant family Christmas in Las Vegas. No longer just an adult playground, Vegas has evolved into an amazing destination for families looking for luxury and unforgettable entertainment. Christmas in Vegas means even more memories for everyone.
Elegance and Comfort
Reserve an in-suite holiday package at The Venetian for a magical stay this year. The suite comes with a decorated tree and stockings stitched with your names. Availability goes fast, so don’t miss out. And the “Winter in Venice” experience transforms the romantic canals into a festive arena where gondola rides are accompanied by holiday carolers transporting guests to a cheerful Italian holiday.
While enjoying the fun of The Venetian, be sure to try the holiday favorites at Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer. Have you heard of the Juicy Lucy? It’s Black Tap’s burger with a brie-stuffed wagyu patty, sprout slaw, crispy shallots, and creamy peppercorn sauce. And their truffle fries are the perfect side for any order. But most of all, you must try one of their famous Crazyshakes – a yummy combination of shake and dessert.
Westgate Las Vegas offers the magic of Christmas all year long in a one-of-a kind Christmas suite where you can immerse yourself in Christmas near the Vegas Strip. The suite includes:
Over-the-top festive decor with three beautifully decorated Christmas trees. Cozy up by the fireplace and enjoy the warm holiday ambiance, festive bar area to toast to the holiday spirit. Two ‘elf-on-a-shelf’ themed bathrooms for added whimsy
Fun Outings
Spend an afternoon or evening enjoying The Wizard of Oz at The Sphere (or a concert) for special family time together that you’ll remember for years to come.
Opt for a family day at Area 15, an immersive experience with VR attractions, rides, entertainment and funky interactive art. Enjoy bars and eateries, live events, and experience the LIFTOFF Bar and Ride, Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart, Illuminarium, Dueling Axes, Five Iron Golf, Kaia, The Beast, Wink World: Portals Into the Infinite, Museum Fiasco, the JOHN WICK EXPERIENCE, just to name a few. It’s a fun day for the entire family.
If you love horror you won’t want to miss “Krampus & Kin” (now through Jan. 3) at the new Universal Horror Unleashed at Area 15 (recommended for 13 and older). Your admission includes four haunted houses filled with nightmarish winter legends. Get up close photo ops with the Germanic punisher Krampus, Icelandic troll Gry´la and fiendish Kallikantzaroi Greek goblins. And as you navigate the scares grab some killer snacks and drinks along the way.
Looking for a fun night out for the over 21 bunch. Head to the atrium of the Luxor and check out Play Playground, an interactive oversized games venue for hours of fun. Challenge yourself with over 20 big games and puzzles while enjoying a delicious variety of cocktails/mocktails. Daytime at Play Playground is for families ages 13 and up, while night is for adults only. Play Playground is filled with laughter and hilarious physical challenges that are fun for all.
One of the games, Bullseye, is where you suit up in a Velcro suite and jump from a trampoline, slinging yourself through the air onto a large bullseye where you stick to the target and earn points. It’s hilarious and fun. Another fan favorite is Record Time, a fast-paced game challenging players to duck, dive and dodge spinning vinyl records while balancing on a beam. There are so many fun games and puzzles. To view a list of current games and experiences, click here.
Along with delicious drinks, Play Playground offers classic bar food like wings, jalapeno poppers and tacos. And to keep it true to the playful nature, every dish is served in classic lunchboxes.
Don’t miss the thrill of walking through the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Garden, which is transformed into a whimsical winter wonderland inspired this year by a train journey. It’s a great place to unwind and enjoy holiday magic, and you can’t beat the price – it’s free to enjoy.
If you decide to go off the strip, there are many other Christmas destinations for dazzling holiday performances, food and memorable photo moments. Christmas in Las Vegas is an experience your family will talk about for years to come.
