Stroll through Opportunity Village’s Magical Forest
Cost: $15 per adult (no rides)
Location: 6300 W. Oakey Blvd. Las Vegas, NV 89146
Opportunity Village is located in the residential part of town. Opportunity Village is a very well known charity in town by locals. It’s only a 15 minute drive or 6 miles from the Las Vegas Strip. This is perfect if you’re looking to walk around and view the different Christmas trees and Christmas decorations. They also have small rides available after you walk around the Christmas Lights. I personally would only book the ride upgrade if you have small children with you. Click here for more information: https://www.opportunityvillage.org/what-we-do/events/magical-forest
Stroll Through “Las Vegas Christmas Town”
Cost: $20 per person
Location: Inside CowaBunga Bay Waterpark 900 Galleria Dr, Henderson, NV 89011

Drive through “Glittering Lights”
Cost: $35 per vehicle
Location: Las Vegas Motorspeed Way 7000 Las Vegas Blvd N, Las Vegas, NV 89115
This the perfect option if you want to save the most amount of money in a group and/or don’t want to walk around. I got a coupon from Lee’s Discount Liquor but it was only valid before Christmas week. When I went the day before Christmas Eve, the line was 2 hours long so that’s another incentive to go much earlier in December.
The below clip are some light displays that showed in 2020’s Glittering Lights. I highly recommend to go before the week of Christmas.
(Skip to 2:44 to go straight to the lights!)
