Vegas Christmas Vacation Ideas

Posted on October 26, 2016

Wondering if a Las Vegas Christmas Vacation is a good idea? We have been going to Vegas for the past four years and it get more and more festive every year. Vegas may not be as festive as other big cities but then again its Vegas. Below is a list of great Vegas ideas for the holidays. If you want more Vegas tips and guides be sure to visit Vegas Savvy.

Vegas Christmas Vacation Ideas

  • Bellagio Christmas Display – The Conservatory & Botanical Gardens at the Bellagio offers one of the most breath taking Christmas displays you will ever see. Flowers, polar bears, penguins, fake snow and of course a massive Christmas tree. The crowds are pretty big but it’s worth it to see everything. The display runs for the month of December.

  • The ARIA and Shops at Crystals – Both places decorate with lots of flowers, lights and flower displays.  The Aria has one great feature we love and that is the life size Grinch, which is made of chocolate.
  • Fremont St Christmas Tree – Fremont St is a must visit spot when traveling to Las Vegas. Lots of street performers, live music and the music light show. Christmas is also celebrated there as well and they have a giant Christmas tree on display.
  • Ice Skating at the Cosmo – The Cosmopolitan freezes their strip side pool, adds a zamboni to the clean the ice and pumps out 80’s tunes and throws in some fake snow as well. Look for a Groupon to show up for this one. Last year we got a good deal on two skate rentals and use of the ice. You can rent a fire pit as well. Be warned, lots of kids.
  • The Plazzo Waterfall – The Palazzo Waterfall Atrium and Gardens deck themselves out with lots of flowers, lights and festive decorations. It’s a great free must see and runs from December into the New Year.
  • Las Vegas Motor Speedway – We have never been to this event but there is currently a Groupon for this activity right now. You get to cruise the speedway with your family packed into your car and enjoy a ton of Christmas lights and displays. That’s over 2 miles of holiday goodness.

These are just a few suggestions of Christmas activities for you to try out during your next Vegas Christmas Vacation. If you find any other festive Christmas things to do in Las Vegas drop us a comment and we will add it to the list.

5 Christmas Comedies on Netflix

Posted on December 20, 2015

Christmas doesn’t have to be depressing. There are number of great Christmas comedies on Netflix that should cure you out of that depressing thought of having to spend time with our deranged family. We are pretty much sick of the all of the glitter, music and cheer so we thought we would post a few movies that appear on Netflix that should give you a laugh or two at Christmas time. In no particular order of course. We were a little taken back by the lack of selection. I mean where is Christmas Vacation?

1. Trading Places (1983)
Dan Aykroyd, Eddie Murphy and Jamie Lee Curtis. A rich man is turned poor and a poor man turned rich over a $1 bet. Set on the backdrop of Christmas. One of Eddie Murphy’s funniest movies.

2. Bad Santa (2003)
Billy Bob Thorton plays a hard drinking thief who along with his sidekick plan to rob a mall where they are working as Santa and his elf.

3. A Very Murray Christmas (2015)
Billy Murray puts together an all star cast of celebrities that celebrate Christmas after getting snowed in a hotel in New York City.

4. Ernest Saves Christmas (1988)
Ernest might not be everyone’s cup of tea but we enjoy his antics. Especially in this Christmas special.

5. The Ref (1994)
Denis Leary plays a cat burglar is forced to take a bickering, dysfunctional family hostage on Christmas Eve.
