| - What Glittering Lights is to Las Vegas is what Fantasy of Lights is to Los Gatos...same concept, but Glittering Lights is bigger b/c their venue is actually at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway...
I came here with my immediate and some of my extended family right after the 49er win on 12/23...the line just to get into the entrance took almost an hour long...
Entrance fee was $15...honestly, it would have been more reasonable if we paid $8 or something ($10 at the Los Gatos location...should be more like $3-5)...once we got through paying, the wait was just as long to actually see the darn light show...but as you're driving/waiting to get to the light show, there's people outside serving hot cocoa, popcorn, and souvenirs...nice offer, but definately overpriced...but I like how they gave us a good handful of free peppermint candies though haha...they also handed us a guide showing the different sponsors of Glittering Lights, such as Mickie D's, The Shark Reef, and of course...YELP! The nicest part of the light show was driving through the tunnels...
For having paid $15 dollars, I would have expected the place to be slightly overbearingly decorated with Christmas Lights...but...nah! Yes, some of them were nice to look at, but the fact that there was so much space...it seemed like there just wasn't enough decor...like seriously, I've seen houses go all out on Christmas lights...decorated from rooftop to the front lawn, and even that gives me that "wow" factor haha...
Anyway, the lights show took about 30-35 minutes tops...again, not a bang for my buck...
It wouldn't hurt for first-timers to come and visit, but once should be good enough...
