FAQ

We’re open now and every night November 6, 2026 through January 3, 2027. Open rain or shine or holidays at 5pm.

No limit of people you can fit in a vehicle.  Tickets are per vehicle not per person, so load up.  Many people meet up at the Speedway (usually the gift shop parking lot) and load up the truck bed, boat trailer or wagon. Bundle up. It’s colder than you think.

Nope — no printer required! You can show your ticket on your phone or mobile device, or print it if you prefer. Just arrive ready to roll, and we’ll scan your ticket right at the entrance. 

$25 extra at the gate is a great way to skip the general admission line. The Fast Pass, powered by Diamondback Land Surveying, gives you access to a special lane that skips the main entry line so you can get straight to the sparkle.
You can buy Fast Pass online in advance for $64 per vehicle, or upgrade at the gate for just $25 more on top of your regular carload ticket (subject to availability).
If you’re visiting on a slower night, the regular carload ticket still gets you the full 3-mile journey through 6 million lights—but if time’s tight or little ones are getting wiggly, Fast Pass is a fan favorite.

Yes.  We appreciate our military and all they do to keep us and our family safe. Every day a $5 military discount is available when purchasing at the event with valid ID.  Offers can’t be combined.

to any night from Nov 6 to Jan 3. Includes Fast Pass on valid nights—skip the main line and roll straight in. Four free hot cocoa vouchers are given our on the first visit and can be used anytime during the season (excludes commercial vehicles & shuttles). 
A great way to visit more than once (or twice!) and truly maximize the 26th-Anniversary magic
In short: one pass, two vehicles, limitless sparkle — let the holiday memories keep rolling! Get your tickets here:  Season Pass Your passes will be assigned to your vehicles on your first visit that cannot be replaced if lost, stolen, or damaged. 
 

The Santa Tram is an open-air tram ride filled with magic, games, and selfies with Santa himself. Let us do the driving for you. The tram follows the same route as if you drove yourself. Kids love it. Adults love it. Even Biscuit the Reindeer loves it! Price is $25 per person. Free photos with Santa! This experience is sold per person and is date and time specific. Reserve your space HERE.

Glittering Lights never sells out for drive-through entry—load up the car and come enjoy the Christmas Lights! However, Santa Tram tickets (available on select nights) can sell out, especially on peak holiday evenings. We recommend purchasing tram tickets online early to secure your seat on the sleigh!

Tour buses and RVs are welcome and must be under 11 ft. in height. Our light show goes through the grandstands of Las Vegas Motor Speedway and that’s the highest we can allow. Admission for buses is an additional $3 per person. If your headcount at $3 per person is less than the Carload price. For example, say you have 9 people on your bus, that would be $27 – so you would still pay $44 for a Carload ticket. If you have 30 people on your bus, that would be $90. For the best experience, buses and vans should have limited or no tinting on the windows. No extra charge for limos.
