Celebrating a Las Vegas Thanksgiving? If you’re headed to Sin City to celebrate, or maybe you’re just sticking around after the big F1 race, we’ve got your holiday shows, activities, attractions, and yes, even turkey dinners! But we begin with Mariah Carey’s Christmas Time in Las Vegas at Park MGM. Her show will feature holiday songs mixed with her hits and performances begin the day after Thanksgiving running through December 13th. Meanwhile, on the other side of the strip, Leona Lewis will take the stage at Venetian for her brand new Starry Night Christmas Residency. Her shows are running now and last through the New Year.
Once the curtains fall, however, check out Enchant Las Vegas, boasting the world’s biggest Christmas light maze and an ice skating trail. Plus, Santa will put in an early appearance for the kids. Next, hop on the Forest Express Train bound for the Magical Forest at Opportunity Village. Enjoy over 2 acres of Christmas lights, carnival rides, festive foods, and a 50-foot avalanche slide. You could also head to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for their Drive Through Christmas wonderland with over 6 million lights, hot cocoa, kettle corn, and pictures with Santa. No car? No problem! Just hop on the Santa Tram. However, if you’d rather move at your own pace, there’s always the Bellagio Conservatory. Their holiday display is open now through January 3rd, and the best part is it’s totally free!
Of course, the Formula 1 race is just days before a Las Vegas Thanksgiving celebration, and we devoted an entire show to the entertainment and special events happening that week. You can find that video on our YouTube channel at this link. And if you’re still thinking about heading down for the race, there are last minute offers and discounts out there. Plus, Christmas online slots are beginning to roll out, and we’ve just released our review for Chase the Turkey, a medium volatility game with five reels, three rows, free spins, and an expanding wild feature. Check it out on our YouTube channel where we have hundreds of additional game reviews!
One of the more important aspects of this holiday is the food, of course, plus holiday shopping. And Sin City’s got your back. So, where can you grab that traditional meal for a Las Vegas Thanksgiving? Well, you don’t have to look too far as the Eiffel Tower restaurant at Paris will offer a three course turkey dinner, pumpkin souffle and amazing views of the Strip! On Fremont, Barry’s Downtown Prime at Circa will have slow roasted free range turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole. If you’d like additional menu choices, try STK Steakhouse at Cosmo, who will serve roasted free range turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. Meanwhile, Lowry’s Prime Rib is dishing up roasted turkey, potatoes, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin martinis! Plus, takeout is available. Of course, there are many restaurants all over town that will also be serving Thanksgiving meals, including restaurants at the Wynn and Palazzo, and all up and down Las Vegas Boulevard. Reservations are recommended.
After you’ve stuffed yourself and had your nap, burn off some of those Las Vegas Thanksgiving carbs at the Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace, or the amazing stores all along Venetian’s Grand Canal shops. Other Sin City shopping includes the well-known Fashion Show Mall across from the Wynn, the Miracle Mile at Planet Hollywood and the Shops at Crystals near Aria. Plus, the Premium Outlet Malls have two locations in Sin City ,which are great for those more budget conscious shoppers. Finally, this week, if you really want to show your thanks this year, try giving something back to your community. Support a good cause, serve at a soup kitchen, check on an elderly neighbor, and if you’re feeling particularly generous, why not leave us a like on this video or subscribe to our channel? I promise it won’t cost you a penny. So, that’s a wrap. Safe travels and happy Thanksgiving, my friends.
