LAS VEGAS—Sam’s Town Hotel and Gambling Hall is excited to announce the return of Mystic Falls Park®’s enchanting winter wonderland display. This festive favorite features more than 26,000 sparkling lights, whimsical seasonal décor and a captivating nine-minute holiday laser light show. The display kicks off Thursday, Nov. 27, and runs daily through Thursday, Jan. 1, 2025.
A holiday tradition since 1994, the festive display at Mystic Falls Park® returns to Sam’s Town Hotel and Gambling Hall with its signature blend of whimsy and wonder. The family-friendly winter attraction features an 18-foot Christmas tree adorned with sparkling ornaments, thousands of twinkling lights and a starburst topper. Garland-wrapped lampposts, colorful streamers, lanterns and wreaths fill the atrium, all decked out with hundreds of lights, ornaments and bright red holiday bows.
Guests can wander through snow-dusted landscapes filled with animatronic figures in Santa hats, oversized pinecones and beautifully wrapped gift boxes. Large winter-themed décor pieces are placed throughout the park for festive family photo ops. The beloved gazebo is dressed in snow, garlands, twinkling icicle trim and oversized candy canes at its entrance. In total, the display features 26,350 points of light and approximately 13,175 feet — or 2.5 miles — of wire.
The centerpiece of the holiday display — a dazzling nine-minute laser light show — returns to delight guests with a medley of beloved seasonal tunes, including “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” “Let It Snow,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Frosty the Snowman.” Performances sparkle to life every hour from 4 to 10 p.m., casting a merry glow across the park. And just when you think the desert couldn’t get more magical, Mystic Falls Park® will make it snow nightly through the new year, blanketing the atrium in wintry wonder.
Santa Claus will join the holiday fun with weekend visits to the Mystic Falls Park® gazebo, beginning Saturday, November 30 through Sunday, December 21. He’ll be available for photos from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays — with a brief break from 3 to 4 p.m. to feed his reindeer.
Additionally, Boyd Gaming will spread holiday cheer by awarding nearly $70,000 to nonprofit organizations participating in its annual Trees of Hope competition. Starting Monday, November 24 through Friday, December 12, guests 21 years and older visiting Sam’s Town can vote for their favorite decorated tree for the chance to win the top prize at the property. Trees will be located on the pillars facing the casino, adjacent to the front desk escalators near Mystic Falls Park®. Each of Boyd’s eight Las Vegas properties will recognize the three highest-performing charities with a grand prize, guaranteeing that every participating organization receives a minimum of $1,000. A supplementary contest held on social media will offer additional opportunities for charities to secure extra cash prizes.
