Elton John

This legend’s “Million Dollar Piano” production can be summed up in one word: exhilarating. Sir Elton not only streams colorful tableaux across the piano’s exterior, but makes great use of the venue’s larger-than-life screen behind the stage. Thus, it seems like you’re really riding the projected roller coaster in “Saturday.” Throughout the past five decades, the five-time Grammy and Grammy Legend award winner has had 29 consecutive Top 40 hits and has sold more than 250 million records worldwide. The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, 866.320.9763.

HOLIDAY HAPPENINGS

A Time of Magic

PHOTO CREDIT GOES HERE

The holidays are a time of magic, and a visit to Las Vegas during this festive season offers many opportunities to experience the traditions we have come to know and love. From twinkling lights and gorgeous displays to winter recreation (who knew you could ice-skate just off the Strip?) and, of course, a visit to Santa, December is a cornucopia of holiday happenings, all with a Vegas twist.

CHEERS TO 2017!

THIS PAGE, FROM LEFT: ©KIRVIN DOAK COMMUNICATIONS, ©MGM RESORTS INTERNATIONAL, COURTESY LAS VEGAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY, ©ANTHONY MAIR; OPPOSITE PAGE: ©VIRGINIA TRUDEAU

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and Las Vegas has all the ingredients for an exciting, fun-filled holiday visit. Below are just a few of the many activities and attractions you should put on your list.

Cosmopolitan

COSMOPOLITAN ICE RINK Let it snow! Not something you expect to hear in Vegas, but if you’re at The Cosmopolitan, that’s just what you’ll experience. It’s part of the winter wonderland that centers on the Boulevard Pool, transformed into a 4,200-square-foot ice rink.

Rent a pair of skates and take a few turns around the rink. Afterward, roast s’mores and sip hot chocolate (or something a little stronger) as you watch the snow fall (every 30 minutes). The ice rink is open M-F, 2 pm-midnight; Sa-Sun, noonmidnight; and from Dec. 19Jan. 1, daily, noon to midnight.

The rink is open to children ages 2 and up. 702.698.7000, cosmopolitanlasvegas.com ‘THE NUTCRACKER’ The holidays just aren’t complete without seeing a performance of Tchaikovsky’s beloved masterpiece. The Nevada Ballet Theatre’s production features beautiful costumes (such as those seen in the photo on the facing page), stunning sets and thrilling choreography by James Canfield. Performances take place at the Smith Center Dec. 10-11, 16-18, 21-24. No children under the age of 3 will be admitted to the performance. 702.749.2000, thesmithcenter.com

Bellagio

BELLAGIO CONSERVATORY & BOTANICAL GARDEN Enter the conservatory and botanical garden at the Bellagio and find yourself in a magical holiday world. Each season the horticulturalists and designers transform the 14,000-square-foot space with seasonal plants and decorations. The holiday season is no doubt the most spectacular.

It is a feast for the eyes but also for the senses, as the fragrance of the plants adds to the overall experience. As a commitment to sustainability, the hotel recycles 90 percent of the plants, trees and flowers used in the display. Free.

Open 24 hours, through Jan. 2.

702.693.7111, bellagio.com ADVENTURE TO SANTA Back by popular demand, Adventure to Santa combines the latest technology from DreamWorks, the creative minds behind “Shrek” and “How to Train Your Dragon.”

“Kung-Fu Panda” star Po and his friends guide visitors of all ages on an unforgettable adventure to the North Pole to meet Santa that features interactive games and an immersive, cinematic experience. Reservations strongly recommended. Fashion Show (across from Wynn Las Vegas), 702.369.8382, adventureto santa.com

Las Vegas Motor Speedway

LAS VEGAS MOTOR SPEED WAY GLITTERING LIGHTS It may take place at the speedway, but you won’t want to race through this display, the largest holiday drive-through light show in Nevada. Literally millions of lights twinkle along the 2.5-mile route. You can journey through it in your own car or take the open-air Santa Tram (new this year) and leave the driving to someone else.

Open nightly at dusk. Cost per vehicle: M-Th $20, F-Su and holidays $30. 702.222.9777, glitteringlightslasvegas.com BELLAGIO FOUNTAINS Holiday favorites such as “Sleigh Ride,” “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” and “Carol of the Bells” are just a few of the merry musical numbers to which the fountains at Bellagio dance this month.

Free. Nightly beginning at 8 pm, Su at 7 pm. 702.693.7111, bellagio.com CACTUS GARDEN HOLIDAY LIGHTS Each year, the cactus garden at the Ethel M Chocolate factory in Henderson becomes a riot of shining color as the cacti are covered in thousands of lights.

Santa visits and choirs perform F-Su. Free. Open nightly, 5-10 pm. 2 Cactus Garden Dr., Henderson, 702.435.2655, ethelschocolate.com

Vegas is the place to be on New Year’s Eve, and what better way to start the new year right than with a glass of Champagne. Here are three of our favorite spots to indulge in a bit of the bubbly.

Fizz features a menu of Champagnes and cocktails made with bubbles, all in an exquisite room decked out in creative director David Furnish and his husband Sir Elton John’s personal collection of artwork. Try the Fizz Velvet, made with John D. Taylor’s Velvet Falernum and its hints of lime, almond, vanilla, ginger and clove.

Sweet Aperol and Fee Brother’s rhubarb bitters give the drink a sweet and sour flavor, while brut rosé tops it off. Caesars Palace, 702.776.3200 Laguna Champagne Bar on the casino floor brings massive bottles of bubbly to the table. Look for magnums of Dom Pérignon, jeroboams of Moët & Chandon and methuselahs of Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin.

Try the Midnight Rose made with Grey Goose Cherry Noir, St. Germain Elderflower, lemon juice, Luxardo cherry and Moët & Chandon. Palazzo, 702.607.2500 Mr. Chow greets guests with a Champagne lounge, where they gather before heading into the restaurant. The night gets even swankier with the Champagne trolley, one of the many shows put on during guests’ dining experience. Caesars Palace, 702.731.7888

THE GUIDE

Shopping

On the Go Beauty

Customized Colors

Feeling a bit frazzled with all the holiday shopping? Drybar, known for its simple mantra of “No cuts. No color. Just blowouts,” will have you on your way back to fabulous in no time flat. Its Las Vegas location is its largest in the country, with almost 3,000 square feet and 20 styling chairs. Of course, a boutique in Vegas means special, over-the-top amenities, and Drybar obliges with a full cocktail bar, a photo booth and DJ. The list of treatments itself reads like a cocktail list: the Cosmo (lots of loose curls), the Straight Up (straight with a little body), the Southern Comfort (big hair, lots of volume) and the Dirty Martini (tousled and textured). Miracle Mile Shops, 702.560.5243

Let’s face it, we all love testing out new makeup looks, and those who want to discover the very best in products and service will adore Sephora at Fashion Show. In addition to displays on the latest and greatest items, the staff can direct you to what looks best on you—you’ll feel like you’ve found your beauty BFF! 702.792.0600

[WHERE INSIDE]

Las Vegas Your Way

Country Fans

Yeehaw. Grab your cowboy boots and a 10-gallon Stetson hat. The National Finals Rodeo is in town, bringing out the best in country entertainment. It all starts at (1) PBR Rock Bar & Grill at the Miracle Mile Shops with its Strip-side patio and a specialty frozen drink bar. Try Southern comfort dishes such as chicken and waffles and barbecue pork ribs. Shimmy on the bar or take some line dancing lessons at (2) Coyote Ugly at New York-New York. The saloon even had a movie made about the experience. Kick up your heels, ride the mechanical bull and chow down on steaks, ribs, chicken and chili at (3) Gilley's Saloon, Dance Hall & Bar-B-Que, a reincarnation of a Texas honky-tonk dance hall, at Treasure Island.

Families

Mom, dad and the kids can all have the time of their lives in Las Vegas. Head up, up, up with the (1) High Roller, the world’s tallest observation wheel at The Linq Promenade.

Each of the 28 clear pods rotates around the wheel for a half-hour ride. Make your way to the largest indoor theme park in the United States at the (2) Adventuredome at Circus Circus. Roller coasters, bumper cars, giant swings and more await at this five-acre park.

White lions and panthers and tigers, oh my.

(3) Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at the Mirage gets you up close with these big cats along with bottlenose dolphins. The adjacent 2.5-mllion-gallon habitat is an observation and research facility with underwater viewing areas.

Late Nights

New Year’s Eve leaves 2016 behind, and what better way to kick off the year right than at some of Vegas' hottest nightclubs, the epicenter of nightlife excitement? Go for dance music at (1) XS Nightclub at Encore Las Vegas, where Major Lazer—the electronic dance trio made up of Diplo, Jillionaire and Walshy Fire—kicks off the festivities. It's the epitome of opulence, with bottle service indoors, or outdoors at a luxurious poolside cabana.

Rapper Snoop Dog counts down to 2017 at (2) Tao Nightclub at the Venetian before putting on a show of his big hits Tao is also a popular celeb hangout. Rapper Drake gets the new year started off right with a show at the multilevel megaclub (3) Hakkasan Nightclub at the MGM Grand.
