| - Mystic Falls Park is a special place where imagination puts on a stellar performance. The headliners of this spectacular are a menagerie of robotic animals and water.
If Sam's Town is the Wild West, Mystic Falls Park is the bucolic pioneer West. Under a ten story conservatory of natural light, Mystic Falls Park is a Disneyesque parkscape of trickling streams, cascading waterfalls, windy walking paths bordered by Pioneer style lamp posts, live foilage, chirping birds, a howling wolf, and imagination creating an escape from the wild west of today's Las Vegas. Essentially Mystic Falls Park makes the property a Sam's & Disney Town.
It doesn't take much imagination to realize that first-rate public places attract people into the property. It is the Disneyesque Mystic Falls Park that leads me into Sam's Town. I regard it as one of my top casino public areas that also include the Silverton and Bellagio Conservatory.
I enjoy picking up a cup of coffee from the Sam's Town Dunkin Donuts then drinking it while appreciating this indoor nature wonderland. On my walk through the indoor forest I benefit from the soratorium that the sun produces from the skylights 10 floors above. At night time the pioneer themed street lamps create a nighttime walk in the woods feel. On my walk along the lush bordered walking path, I take in an imaginative display of nature. In the trickling stream, a beaver is chopping away. Deeper into the forest a deer lives below a mountain of two big horn sheep under the American flag. As I round the corner, I see that the two bighorn sheep are standing over the bar that is caved into the man made mountain. Across from the bighorn sheep, the walk leads to a towering waterfall splashing from a colossal man made mountain. The summit of this mountain is full of life. There is an eagle, wolf, and bear.
The automatic animals above the waterfall are also entertainers when they headline the complimentary Sunset Stampede Laser Light Show at 2 pm, 4 pm, 6 pm, 8 pm, and 10 pm. This is a state-of-the-art laser light show where towering water dances to the cinematography of a wolf, bear, and eagle in an Old West storyline. From my experience, the prime viewing spot is the tables at the bar facing the plants that prevent tall spectators from blocking the view.
It is during the Christmas and Holidays season, where imagination deserves a standing ovation. From November 27 into the New Year, Mystic Falls Park turns into an indoor Winter Wonderland. This is a must see during December. Thousands of Christmas lights adorn the Christmas Wonderland parkscape. There is even snow falling intermittently from the skylights. The trickling stream is bordered by realistic snow. Joining the menagerie of robotic animals are polar bears. The zenith of the Winter Wonderland experience is the Christmas and Holidays edition of the laser light show. This 15 minute spectacular is lightning in a jar that shines the Joy of the season. My favorite scene is the bear singing along to Elvis Presley's "Blue Christmas."
Finally, Mystic Falls Park is a gateway to Sam's Town's dining. Within earshot of the howling wolf and roaring bear, there are a handful of restaurants. Bordering the park is Fireside Buffet, a Steak house and Mexican restaurant with tables overlooking the scenery. If the wolf and bear were real, they probably wouldn't eat humans because on the far side of their man made mountain is a food court featuring Panda Express and McDonald's. If they didn't like those two, nearby is Subway, T. G. I Fridays, Dunkin Donuts, and so on.
In conclusion, I wish there were more attractions of this caliber in Las Vegas. Mystic Falls Park is up there with my favorite top casino public areas. This is a stage where Imagination puts on a stellar show that I rate 4 Stars.
