Mystic Falls Park Makes the Season Bright with Return of Winter Wonderland Display and Holiday Laser Light Show

Sam’s Town Hotel and Gambling Hall is making the season merry and bright with the return of Mystic Falls Park’s winter wonderland display, featuring festive décor, more than 26,000 points of light and a nine-minute holiday laser light show.

The holiday attraction can be enjoyed starting at sundown on Wednesday, November 23 through Sunday, January 1, 2023.  

The holiday-themed attraction at Mystic Falls Park is a time-honored tradition that goes back to 1994. This holiday season, families can experience the indoor atrium’s spirited theme, featuring animated teddy bears that have come to life and can be seen playing, dancing and decorating the park. The plush, animatronic bears were handmade by a family in Italy, and have traveled from Italy to Spain, Portugal, and across the United States to make it to Mystic Falls Park.

The whimsical winter display presents an 18-foot Christmas tree decorated with glistening red and gold ornaments and 5,300 twinkling lights, topped with a starburst tree topper. Garland-wrapped lampposts, streamers and wreaths fill the atrium, embellished with hundreds of lights, ornaments and red holiday bows. As guests stroll through the park, they can also enjoy seeing blankets of snow, animatronic characters wearing Santa hats, giant pinecones and beautifully wrapped gift boxes.

Mystic Falls Park’s beloved gazebo is also covered in snow and decorated with garlands, a sparkling icicle trimming and large candy canes at the entrance. In total, the lit-up décor features 26,350 points of light and approximately 13,175 feet, or 2.5 miles, of wire. 

Also returning this year is the nine-minute holiday laser light show, which is the centerpiece of the display. The laser light show features a variety of classic holiday songs, including “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” “Let It Snow,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” and “Frosty the Snowman.” Performances run every hour, between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. Adding to the wintery experience, Mystic Falls Park will make it snow in the Las Vegas desert every night through the new year.

Santa will also join in the festivities by visiting the Mystic Falls Park gazebo beginning Friday, November 25 and through Friday, December 23. Santa will be available from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Fridays and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, except for 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. as Santa will be away feeding his reindeer. Guests are invited to stop by and take photos with Santa using their own cameras.

In addition to enjoying the free holiday attraction, families can conveniently drop off their letters for Santa in Santa’s mailbox, also located under the gazebo inside Mystic Falls Park.
