- I go to Las Vegas often, and love visiting in the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
- The city goes all-out with holiday decorations, especially (housed within Mandalay Bay).

I was obsessed with the space’s wintery colors and dreamy grand staircase, and I hope to visit it again next year.
The city has unique festive activities
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas has been creating an epic rooftop ice rink for years. Jill Schildhouse
I never miss the ice rink at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
The rooftop Boulevard Pool undergoes a magical transformation into the ultimate winter wonderland featuring a 4,200-square-foot ice rink with amazing views of the Strip.
I enjoy watching classic holiday films on the 65-foot marquee, toasting s’mores over a fire pit, sipping festive cocktails at The Chalet (a reimagined mountaintop village), and watching the enchanting faux-snow showers held every half hour most evenings.

If you’re traveling with little ones, stop by Mandalay Bay for the Santa in the Shipwreck at Shark Reef Aquarium.
With each paid admission, children 12 and under receive a complimentary photograph with Santa Claus. He’s known to put on scuba gear and plunge into the exhibit, too.
I also love getting , with mainstream retailers and designer brands aplenty.
I found no shortage of holiday cheer at The Forum Shops at Caesars, where over 150 retail stores featured Black Friday sales against a backdrop of seasonally decorated statues and columns.
The Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood also have over 150 shops offering sales all month long.
When I visit Vegas around the holidays, I even pack an extra tote bag, so I have room to fly my new purchases home.
