We had to wait for those Christmas lights to come on bc we arrived too early like 420 PM. 447 PM was the exact time they flicked that light switch. Btw no one knew the exact time & it still seemed like daylight! While we waited we noticed airplanes flying overhead every two minutes & it was nearly a full moon night! Actual full moon was on Sunday 12.3.17.
It was Friday night the first day of December with the ice skating rink way in back of the cactus garden & Santa on the left back side. Someone was selling pretty colorful lights out in front of Ethel M as they were flying up & down in the air. You know who else was there? Radio station 90.5 FM. They had the Xmas IG props! Kudos to the radio guy who helped me take pics of us.
Christmas lights in the huge walkable cactus garden were definitely magical and placed us in the right euphoric holiday mood! Bc of my coughing virus I skipped the chocolate tour. Gosh I was eyeing that peppermint bark box but instead I just purchased four Ethel M bars for ten bucks. My fave was the dark chocolate raspberry! Wow that flavor was so on point & fabulous! Can you believe the sugar free chocolate bar was just as delicious too? All of it placed me in chocolate heaven!
Thank you Hawaii/LA Yelper Nadine for your encouragement! Totally appreciated! Plus I have to thank hubby bc he was totally game to work it in twice in one day as we were here on our last evening in Vegas! Mission & bookmark accomplished! Btw if you want more Ethel M chocolate they have a shop in the Vegas airport terminal! They offer a sample there too! Yummmm...
