December 2014
Ho! Ho! Ho! It’s the holidays!! …and my work in Dallas is coming to a close. On December 6th at 10:00 am, the 27th
Annual Dallas Children’s Health Holiday Parade will occur! Last year’s
parade had to be cancelled due to the worst ice storm in Dallas
history…and Texas is not that well equipped for ice. This year’s parade
will have over 4,000 performers, with over 1,500 volunteers supporting
the parade, 400,000 people on the street watching the parade, filmed for
TV and then syndicated to over 90 million households in the U.S. and
shown in 160 countries. It is the largest single day event in North
Texas. If you are anywhere near Dallas, you should come and join the
fun. As I am writing this, the event is only a few days away, and it is
certainly crunch time. Last minute changes and challenges are currently
running my life, and I am glued to the weather forecasts—rain or shine,
this event goes on (But obviously, not in ice.) Pray for good weather.
Then I’ll be home
in Las Vegas, and I’ll be happy to be back. I have a lot of catching up
to do. There are so many shows that I have to see, so many friends I
want to spend time with, and so many chores I want to do around the
house.
I hope that
everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving really is one of my
favorite holidays. It is about friends, family, and food. That’s it. The
holiday makes us just take a moment, stop, and simply be thankful for
all that we have. It is not about religion or exclusion. The only
controversy surrounding this holiday is that stores opened for Black
Friday business…that being said, my turkey turned out beautifully.
As I write this,
it is indeed Black Friday…THE shopping day of the year. Our economy is
strong and gas prices are down. It should be a great day for retailers.
Black Friday used to excite me. I would scour through all of the shopper
ads and plot a strategy for the day; be up at dawn, and be at those
stores. Now I want to avoid any semblance of shopping. I have no
interest in being a consumer…I just don’t need anything. In Dallas, I
have an apartment with only the things that I absolutely need…I don’t
have all my stuff here…and I realized that I really don’t need that
much. When I get home, I’m cleaning out the closets.
It is so
interesting how time and age changes our perspective on the holidays.
The holidays always bring joys and challenges to all of us. I am looking
forward to a simple homebound holiday without the pressure of doing
anything… I want to see friends. I want to spend time with family. I’m
going to give money to the Salvation Army, and donate clothes to
Goodwill. I’ll drive around and look at Christmas lights, and I’ll go
see holiday attractions, shows, and events. I’ll do a little of
decorating, and I’ll buy a couple of things for a couple of people.
Mostly, I’m going to appreciate being home.
It’s different
when you have little ones around…their excitement fuels your excitement.
Seeing their wonder fills your heart with joy; so there is a far
greater enthusiasm to get out and find just the right presents for them.
Then the little ones grow up, and we find joy in so many other ways.
I do love the
holidays, but I now love them for all the other reasons…people seem to
appreciate each other more during this time of year; family and friends
take the time to get together. My daughter just asked me what I want to
Christmas…all I could come up with was: “let’s spend time together, get a
mani/pedi, go out to dinner...” She was unsatisfied with my answer.
December is a
unique time for the city. The first couple of weeks in the month stay
fairly busy, the week just before Christmas is the slowest time of the
year, and the week, after Christmas and before New Year’s, the town gets
neurotic. During that week prior to Christmas, a lot of the shows take a
holiday break and close down. Visitors need to be sure to check the
show listings to see the status of their favorite production.
Santa Claus is coming to town, and he
will fly in on VooDoo Zip Line at Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino on
Monday, Dec. 1. Soaring 490 feet above the ground, Kris Kringle and his
wife Mrs. Claus will trade in their sleigh for a ride on Las Vegas’
favorite zip line attraction. The feat will signal the beginning of the
holiday season.
There are several
events that make the first part of the month very busy: The Great Santa
Run, the NFR, and at the end of the month of course, New Year’s Eve.
New Year’s Eve is huge…so huge, in fact that I’ll deal with New Year’s Eve separately at the end of the column.
The holidays in
Las Vegas are just like the holidays everywhere else. The focus is on
family and friends. We do all of the same type of holiday/Christmas
things that everyone else in the country does. I mention this because so
many people have misconceptions about Las Vegas. The week prior to
Christmas, Las Vegas is fairly empty of tourists. The shows and events
that are still up and running usually give locals deep discounts, and it
is great to get out, see a show, and not have to fight crowds.
There are many
Christmas attractions, celebrations, and entertainment; and most of
these things are geared to the locals and not to the tourists. People
forget that the Strip is not the city. The Strip is a fantasyland where
people work, but do not live. The city is truly everything else, but the
Strip. Yes, Virginia, we do have neighborhoods, schools, grocery
stores, and parks just like every other city in the country.
There are a few
conventions during the first couple of weeks of the month, but then
there are no more conventions booked for the rest of the year…at all. In
a city of conventions, it is amazing to have an empty convention
calendar for two weeks. Things get going again in January when the
International Consumer Electronics Show brings with it a couple of
hundred thousand people, and the Adult Entertainment Expo is at the same
time.
One of my favorite winter attractions is Opportunity Village’s, "The Magical Forest," running through January 4th.
The Enchanted Carousel, the Forest Express Trains, live music, sweet
treats, lavishly decorated trees, whimsical displays, millions of lights
and visits with Santa Claus provide people of all ages with a winter
wonderland each night during the holiday season. You will also have the
opportunity to take in Boris the Elf’s 3-D Experience, ride the rails on
the Forest Express train, take photos with Santa in his workshop or go
for a spin on Cheyenne’s Enchanted Carousel. Other can’t-miss
attractions at the Magical Forest include a gingerbread house display,
Rod’s Mini-Golf course and Rudolph’s Raceway. Opportunity Village is a
not-for-profit organization that serves people with intellectual
disabilities by providing them with vocational training, employment and
social recreation services that make their lives more productive and
interesting. Once thought by society to be unemployable and unimportant
in the community, people with severe disabilities are engaged, active
residents who contribute to our society. Through Opportunity Village’s
programs and services, hundreds of people with disabilities are learning
vocational skills and being placed in jobs throughout the community.
Another good
holiday attraction is “The Gift of Lights,” at the Las Vegas Motor
Speedway. This will be the fourth year that it is being hosted there.
“The Gift of Lights” is a holiday drive-thru spectacular featuring
millions of twinkling and animated displays, and part of the proceeds go
to charities. And you can also receive a discount on the admission if
you bring a bag of stuff for Goodwill. Being at the Speedway is a bit of
a drive to get to it, but it will be worth it.
This is the time
of year when you cans see beautiful lights and holiday decorations in
Mystic Falls Park at Sam's Town's Winter Wonderland. The pioneer-themed
Mystic Falls Park is transformed into an immersive winter wonderland
experience with garland streams, wreath-adorned lampposts, and white
light and snow-covered trees that fill the atrium. Poinsettias, red
garland, ice crystals add to the themed visuals, while the main fountain
will host an ice sculpture. Lighted sculpture polar bears and indoor
snow create a whimsical magical winter wonderland experience in the
heart of the Boulder Strip. Sam’s Town will be hosting the 15-minute
laser light spectacular hourly during the holiday season, from 5 p.m. to
10 p.m. through January 1.
Other holiday
events include the Chocolate Wonderland at the Ethel M Botanical Cactus
Garden, which is free; the annual Holiday display at the Four Seasons,
which is free. “Winter in Venice,” is once again playing at the Venetian
this year. It is a free show inside the Canal Shops. And it runs until
January 5th.
E! Reality star and Las Vegas Strip
headliner Holly Madison will proudly serve as Host of Opportunity
Village’s Las Vegas Great Santa Run on Saturday, December 6, 2014.
Marking the event’s 10th anniversary, the blonde bombshell will join
thousands of Kris Kringles in Downtown Las Vegas for the nonprofit’s
largest annual fundraiser. Madison will be joined by male revue icons,
The Chippendales, who will participate as the run’s Grand Marshals. As
Host of the Great Santa Run, Madison will welcome more than 10,000 Santa
lookalikes to the event, alongside Opportunity Village’s OVIPs. Madison
will then lead the runners to the starting line in a sassy, hot pink
Cadillac driven by none other than Elvis Presley. The Chippendales will
await her at the start of the race, where they will don their famous
bowties and cufflinks to let the runners know when it’s time to “get on
your mark, get set, and go!” Along with celebrating the 10th anniversary
of the Great Santa Run, Opportunity Village is currently commemorating
its 60th anniversary as an organization. The beloved nonprofit provides
unparalleled opportunities, enrichment and support to nearly 3,000
citizens with disabilities and their families throughout the Las Vegas
Valley. As in years past, the Great Santa Run will entertain throughout
the event with performances, food, costume contests, celebrity
appearances, and more all due to local businesses’ support of
Opportunity Village.
The biggest event during the first part of December is the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) that runs December 4th to 13th
at the Thomas & Mack Center. This is one of the largest rodeo
competitions in the world. It is filled with excitement, and in order to
give all of the rodeo enthusiast’s options for entertainment, the city
does its best to book all of the top Country and Western singers and
entertainers.
“12 Days of Country” returns to Fremont
Street Experience, beginning Dec. 3 with the 28th Annual Downtown
Hoedown and running through Dec. 14. This year’s “12 Days of Country,”

Piero’s! In recovery from a recent accident, Zadora was anxious to
return to Pia’s Place and, in the spirit of the holiday season, has
added some of her favorite classic holiday songs into her repertoire
during her shows. Zadora, her musical director Vincent Falcone and her
band, put their twist on traditional favorites – and even Santa himself
stops by each night for a little Jingle Bell Rock! No cover; must be 21
with valid I.D. Zadora will perform on the following Friday and Saturday

Las Vegas headliner Mac King announces
“The Mac King Comedy Magic Show” has been extended for four more years
at Harrah’s Las Vegas. King’s contract extends through 2019, which will
give him 19 years at the hotel. In January, he celebrates a historic 15
years at Harrah’s, making him the longest running magician working at
the same hotel. King was named Magician of the Year by The Magic Castle,
“Entertainer of the Year” by the Las Vegas Weekly 2004 “Readers Choice
Awards,” and is a Guinness Book of World Records holder in 2004 for “The
World’s Longest Game of Telephone.”
For the second year, Distill, Elixir and
Remedy’s are calling upon Vegas locals to give the gift of smiles and
cheer this holiday season by donating toys at any of their five
locations. Toys collected will benefit the numerous kids sponsored by
the Casa Foundation, whose mission is to help young kids who have been
abused and neglected and now are in the foster care system in Clark
County. In addition to collecting toys for the next three weeks,
Remedy’s at St. Rose and Distill in Summerlin will host fundraising
parties on Saturday, Dec. 6, allowing locals to come together to
celebrate with a “backyard barbeque” where burgers, hotdogs and other
items will be available with all proceeds going directly to the
foundation. In 2013, Distill, Elixir and Remedy’s chose the Casa
Foundation as a beneficiary for charitable efforts based on their belief
in helping the kids and the future of Clark County. Last year the
group received thousands of dollars’ worth of toys to provide the Casa
Foundation. All toys donated will be given away at the organization’s
Angel Tree Winter Celebration on Dec. 12.

crooner David Nail will kick of the night when he opens the stage for

Alive,” put him on the map, and the singer-songwriter has since pumped
out hit after hit including “Red Light,” “Let it Rain” and certified
platinum track “Whatever She’s Got.” With his newly released album I’m a
Fire heating up airwaves, Nail is sure to have the crowd two-stepping

NEW YEARS EVE!!
The “Entertainment
Capital of the World” puts on a bigger and brighter show than just
about anyone else on the globe. Las Vegas is only second to New York
City in being a favorite destination for New Year’s Eve in the United
States and our little “Glitter Gulch” continues bring in more and more
people every year. Well over a quarter of a million tourists will pack
the streets and the city on that night, and the city is always ready for
them. The biggest problem for the tourist is trying to decide exactly
what they want to do on this night, because just about every option is
going to be open to them—big or little, loud or quiet. Choices for the
evening can be overwhelming, but there are many ways in which you can
quickly narrow down your options.
The first thing to
understand is that every hotel, casino, bar and lounge is going to have
a New Year’s celebration, in addition to all of the fireworks shows
that will be going on all over the city. So the questions that you’ll
have to ask yourself about your own celebrating will have to do with
size, location, cost, and environment.
Do you want to be
indoors or outdoors? A fairly simple way to start, but will certainly
define the other parameters. If you choose to be indoors, then the next
question that will immediately follow is…how much do you want to spend?
Oddly enough, because of the number of celebrations out there, one
really gets what they pay for when it comes to the parties. They are
actually quite competitive. What amenities do you want or need? The more
you spend, the more stuff will be made available to you. It will really
all depend on your need for either extravagance or simplicity, and the
size of your pocketbook. One note on this, though, many of the
nightclubs will have celebrity hosts…usually these are the biggest rip
offs of all.
If you choose to
be outdoors you also have a lot of options, but the bigger questions for
the outdoorsy folks will be, where? There are fireworks all over the
city, and if you are outside, you will see fireworks. So, again, what do
you want? If you want to be with a lot of people, in the heart of the
action, then go down to the Strip. That’s where you and a couple hundred
thousand people can all get together to watch one of the best fireworks
displays in the world. Not only that, it’s free. Then again, some folks
don’t want to be jostled amongst the crowd and would prefer quieter
surroundings. Then drive up to the foothills that enclose our valley and
find a spot that looks over the city. From there, you will see
fireworks displays from all over the city. It is both quiet and can be
very romantic, too.
All of the best
entertainment will be playing that night as well and will be having
midnight shows. If you want to celebrate while watching your favorite
band, performer, or show, then make your reservations early.
New Year’s Eve is a
great time in Las Vegas, and you can make it whatever you want it to
be. You have more choices and options than anywhere else in the world,
and that’s one of the reasons that Las Vegas is so great.
Have fun and be safe!!
