There’s no time like the holidays in Las Vegas where you can’t help but feel the magic. And no matter what holidays you observe, you’ll find plenty of ways to celebrate.

Here are a few of our favorite holiday events, light displays, activities and beloved traditions this winter season in Las Vegas and the transit services that can get you there. 

The famed RTC Deuce double decker bus awaits to whisk you off to magical winter wonderlands along the Las Vegas Strip. Stop to enjoy the dancing Bellagio Fountains featuring classic holiday tunes. Spend time at the Bellagio Conservatory’s 14,000-square-foot annual dazzling holiday display with four majestic horses pulling a lavishly decorated carriage and bustling elves.  

Step into ARIA for a festive photo opportunity by the colossal Gingerbread House and join in the holiday magic at the LINQ Promenade for holiday music and family fun. You can enjoy all of these in one night, on one bus – the Deuce.   

Even the Grinch’s heart would grow after a carefree ride on RTC’s route 206 or Sahara Express to the transit stop in Downtown Summerlin where the holiday spirit delights children and turns adults into believers. Go for the shopping and stay for the Holiday Parade on Fridays and Saturdays. Then head over to the Rock Rink near the Pavilion at The Lawn for family-fun ice-skating.  Plus, don’t miss Enchant, the world’s largest Christmas Light Maze, at Las Vegas Ballpark!

The Elf On The Shelf was spotted on Boulder Highway Express (BHX) heading to the Water Street District for downtown Henderson’s WinterFest featuring a concert series, craft and food vendors, live entertainment, a spectacular evening light parade and, of course, Santa! 

While you’re in Henderson check out the  Festival of Lanterns at Cowabunga Bay and the half a million twinkling Christmas lights draped over three acres of cactus at the Ethel M Chocolates Factory.
