I came here with Don on opening night this year. It was actually a surprise and I told him to cover his eyes until we got to the "forest" pathway. He was pretty blown away once I revealed where we were. All the decorations and lights really take you away and make you feel like you're in a winter wonderland. It was November 23rd and I seriously felt like it was Christmas Eve. You can tell there is so much time and work put into creating the forest for the public. It has some of the best lighting arrangements I've ever seen. When you stroll down the pathway, you'll notice logos of sponsors on different setups. There was even an interactive Blue Man Group setup where we were able to play a Christmas song on the plastic tubes.
Once you finish the walk through you can check out the rides, eat some snacks, or even play mini golf. We just checked out some of the little stands, took whiffs of some dessert scented candles, and sipped on some delicious hot chocolate. I was actually really looking forward to the zipline they were going to have this year, but I guess they decided not to put it in because they even deleted the info about it on their website. I can see that being dangerous though. Someone could've gotten kicked in the head by a ziplining Santa or something.
This is probably one of the best Winter/Christmas experiences in Vegas, especially for the price. I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already.
Tips
*Take your time strolling down the forest and looking at all the arrangements, otherwise it'll end very quickly
*Take lots of pics!!
