This is the Winter Wonderland Las Vegas Christmas experience you may not know about.

Sam's Town Transforms Into Winter Wonderland

As a local, the holiday times can become expensive especially in Las Vegas. Hotels start to transform into holiday hotspots with decorations and local malls start calling the north pole to borrow Santa for photo opportunities.

One place that many Las Vegans overlook is the Sam's Town Casino's Mystical Falls Park. The Boulder Strip hotel and gambling hall and is one of Vegas' oldest casinos. Inside they offer typical hotel attractions with restaurants, movies, bowling, gabling machines and hotel rooms but their atrium is beyond magical! Especially during the holiday times.

Mystical Falls Park Holiday Experience

Mystical Falls Park is their ginormous atrium with real trees, store fronts and ponds. A very calm and small-town vibe but for the holiday time it transforms into a winter wonderland spectacular.

A giant beautifully decorated Christmas tree, giant animatronic teddy bears, decorative presents, and lots of holidays lights can be found throughout the space. A beautiful waterfall creates a very serial atmosphere that lends you to believe you aren't in Vegas anymore.

A cobblestone trail leads guests to different parts of the magical experience. The best part is that it's FREE entry.

Santa Clause will be taking photos with singletons and families for the festive season. Dates, times and prices can be found on Sam's website here.

According to their SamstownLV.BoydGaming.com, the atrium features a Mystic Falls Laser Light Show. The light show takes place Monday - Thursday at 6:00 p.m, 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. and Friday - Sunday at 4:00 p.m., 6:00p.m., 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

Influencers Allowed But Respect Is A Must

Mystical Falls makes the perfect backdrop for any influencers trying to capture the holiday vibes. As families are roaming the ways please be respectful to others and the workers of the hotel.

Be mindful when you are filming your vlogs or taking your selfies.

You can find Sam's Town located at 5111 Boulder Highway, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89122.

6 Disney Festival Of Holidays Bites Coming In November 2023

Disneyland Resort is gearing up for the holiday times to create a magical experience for their guests. Both, Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure Park become a winter wonderland that goes beyond the imagination. Starting November 10, 2023, through January 7, 2024, Festival of Holidays returns. The exciting celebration takes place in Disney's California Adventure Park at the Festive Foods Marketplace.

If you have ever wanted to taste bites from different cultures but didn't have the funds to travel this is the answer. Disney highlights cultural foods from all around the world. The Sip and Savor Pass holds eight tabs to give guests multiple chances to experience tasty bites. The best part is that the tabs aren't just for kiosk stands but also restaurant dining as well.

Disney is very inclusive and will be offering meat-free options for our plant based friends. And a fan-favorite dish is returning this year!

The event will offer iconic favorites including: Impossible TM Chorizo Fundido with House-made Tortilla Chips and Guava Melon Lassi

Festival of Holidays is a ticketed event with a list of important information to remember here. We do want to mention that the food options are smaller sized and not full portion meal.

Aimee+Shawn were invited by Mickey and Minnie to the Disneyland's Holiday Preview 2023 to get a sneak peek at all that's coming.

Our morning show may just have a sweet tooth. Aimee was eyeballing the Guava Melon Lassi and Shawn was favoriting the Ginger Bread Mickey Cooky.

If you're making a trip to Disneyland Resort this year here are six bites that are going to be offered this upcoming 2023 season.

We also listed out where you could find these items last year in the park and the price that they cost. No matter which holiday kiosk you stop at your stomach will thank you later. Enjoy!
