It’s not officially Christmas until we’ve wound our way through the spectacular Glittering Lights display at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The more than 400 animated and sparkling displays over the 2.5-mile course is one of the twins’ favorite seasonal things to do. They look for their favorites—rainbows and butterflies for Miss and dinosaurs and trains for Little Man. This is the Glittering Lights’ 14th year of being a local tradition with more than 1 million lights setting the Speedway aglow every night.
Take a snack, make it a tradition. Of all the holiday events this one is our favorite because we can “ooh” and “ahhh” and discuss the many lighted structures as we drive along together. Here’s a few of my favorite asides from our trip:
“How do they come to life?”
“Does Santa know about this? Can we bring him here?”
“Lights are prettier at night because they can glow like they are supposed to.”
“Daddy, can we do this at our house?”
As you cruise through the display with dazzling lighted arches, animatronic Santas, toy trains, dinosaurs and more, holiday music plays on the set radio station.
Glittering Lights opens at 5:30 p.m. each night, including Christmas, and runs until 9 p.m., Sun.-Thur. and until 10 p.m., Fri.-Sat. and holidays, through Jan. 5. Tickets are $20 per vehicle and can be purchased here or at the entrance to the Speedway.
