Las Vegas Christmas by Billy Clouse Sin City may not seem like the ideal spot to visit during the Christmas holiday, but it’s important to remember that this desert metropolis is the Entertainment Capital of the World. Las Vegas can provide a wide variety of experiences to tourists, but it can rarely provide a genuine white Christmas. The NOAA National Climate Data Center looked at almost three decades of weather and determined the city had a .3% chance of having at least one inch of snow on the ground and a .2% chance of having at least .1 inches of snowfall on Christmas Day. Snow aside, organizations that take up residence in the city host wintery events in an attempt to recreate the traditional Christmas experience. On the following pages, the staff of Thunderground will provide our favorite places to visit.
