Mystic Falls Park Winter Wonderland Kicks Off with Tree Lighting Event, November 23;
Cowboy Santa Visits Mystic Falls, November 25-December 23
LAS VEGAS–November and December will be bustling months at Sam’s Town Hotel and Gambling Hall, when the resort will once again host a “Cell Phones for Soldiers” drive, hold a public tree-lighting ceremony and launch the Winter Wonderland experience at its newly renovated Mystic Falls Park Laser Light and Water Show, and host weekly visits by Cowboy Santa Claus.
From November 1 through 23, Sam’s Town will accept donations of used mobile phones, chargers and other accessories for the Cell Phones for Soldiers program. Each phone donated to the program will provide an hour of talk time to soldiers abroad. To date, the non-profit organization has raised almost $2 million in donations and distributed more than 500,000 prepaid calling cards to soldiers serving overseas.
Guests should drop off used cell phones, chargers and other accessories at the B Connected Club at Sam’s Town. All guests participating in the promotion will receive a two-for-one coupon for Sam’s Town’s Firelight Buffet.
Later in November, the recently renovated, pioneer-themed Mystic Falls Park Light and Water Show will once again transform into a popular winter wonderland for the holidays. A tree-lighting celebration will be held on November 23 at 6 p.m., when Boyd Gaming Executive Chairman Bill Boyd, Sam’s Town Vice President and General Manager John Sou, and a representative of the U.S. Armed Forces flip the switch on the first run of the holiday show. The winter wonderland will remain open through January 1.
The Sam’s Town winter wonderland experience begins in the valet porte-cochère, with festive lighting and decorative snowflakes leading to Mystic Falls Park. Garland streams, wreath-adorned lampposts, and white-light and snow-covered trees will fill the atrium, while Santa’s workshop takes residence at the gazebo.
Poinsettias, red garland, ice crystals add to the themed visuals, while the main fountain will host an ice sculpture. Lighted sculpture polar bears and the holiday show highlight – indoor snow – create a whimsical magical winter wonderland experience in the heart of the Boulder Strip.
The free 15-minute winter laser light spectacular will take place at 6 p.m., 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. nightly.
Finally, Sam’s Town will be hosting Santa Claus this holiday season, decked out in venue-appropriate cowboy gear, from November 25 through December 23. Santa will appear on Thursdays and Fridays from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., and on Saturdays and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Photos will be available from $11-17.
