The holidays are here, and there are so many fun activities to celebrate the season of Christmas in Las Vegas! From ice skating to real snow, Christmas lights and decorations galore, it’s a wonderful time of year to visit.
Traveling with my family is one of my favorite things to do together, and we took some time this holiday season to visit Las Vegas! It was my kids’ first trip, so they were enthralled with all of the lights, fancy buildings, amazing sights, and fun activities. The whole strip is decked out for the holidays, and there are tons of things to do! Here were our favorites:

We’ve starting talking about doing trips instead of gifts for the holidays, so we have memories, not just stuff. Vegas would be fun!
These sound so fun and I wish they had things like this in my area.
