FAQ

WHAT TIME IS GLITTERING LIGHTS OPEN?

November 10, 2022 – January 8, 2023
Sunday – Thursday: 4:45pm – 9:00pm*
Friday, Saturday, Holidays, December 16-26: 4:45pm – 10:00pm*

*Glittering Lights closes when the last car in line drives through. If you pull up at our listed closing time and there’s still a line of cars, hop in! You can still drive through. That means if we say we close at 9 p.m. and there is a line of cars at 9 p.m. and you happen to drive that sleigh up to the line at 9:01 or 9:05, hop in line!

IS THERE A LIMIT TO HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU CAN YOU CAN BRING IN A VEHICLE? CAN WE STUFF A BUNCH OF PEOPLE IN A TRUCK BED?

You sure can. 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.

HOW DOES THE SEASON PASS WORK?

One ticket allows unlimited access to the 2022/23 season for up to two (2) family vehicles – due to popular demand, now both family vehicles can enter at the same time!

Enjoy entrance through the Fast Pass lane (on valid nights) and even enjoy using your season ticket multiple times in one evening! Now that’s cheery. The Season Pass is not meant for commercial use.

HOW DOES THE FASTPASS WORK? WHERE CAN I BUY TICKETS?

Dash to the front of the line and drive-thru millions of dazzling lights! The fastest entry into Glittering Lights is the premium FAST PASS, powered by Diamondback Land Surveying, to bypass rush time for less waiting. To guarantee a spot, pre-purchase online. A limited number of tickets may be available on-site but based on availability.

DO I NEED TO PRINT MY TICKET?

You can print your ticket or show it on your phone and it will be scanned by an attendant.

HOW DOES SANTA TRAM WORK? WHERE CAN I BUY TICKETS?

Guests will view millions of lights from an open-air tram, driven by Silver State Schools Credit Union, so get ready to bundle up and nestle up! The festive area with games and Santa and plenty of photo opportunities is open select December nights. Tickets are per person and available online (recommended) and walk-up based on availability.

DO YOU EVER SELL OUT?

We generally do not sell out of general admission tickets but Santa Tram can sell out on busy days.

DO SANTA TRAM TICKETS SELL OUT

If you are visiting Glittering Lights on one of our busier nights (weekends and actual holidays) the Santa Tram can sell out so it’s recommended to make your purchases in advance.

DOES THE SANTA TRAM FOLLOW THE SAME ROUTE AS SELF DRIVE

Yes! You will see all of the glittering lights on the Santa Tram.

IS GLITTERING LIGHTS A DRIVE-THROUGH ONLY EVENT? CAN I WALK THROUGH? RIDE MY BIKE?

Glittering Lights is a drive-through ONLY event. You are welcome to drive slowly, roll down the windows, take photos, turn your music up, but you must stay in the vehicle. No bicycles allowed.

DO YOU OFFER MILITARY DISCOUNTS?

Yes. We appreciate our military and all they do to keep us and our family safe. Glittering Lights offers all veterans and military with valid ID free entry on Veteran’s Day, November 11 and Military Monday, November 14. Every other day a $2 military discount is available when purchasing at the event with valid ID. Offers can’t be combined.

WHERE IS THE GOODWILL DONATION TRUCK?

The donation truck is available on site at Glittering Lights. Receive $5 off by bringing a bag of gently used items to donate to Goodwill of Southern Nevada. You don’t even have to get out of your car, our ticketing elves will place your donation boxes. Offers can’t be combined.

DO YOU HAVE GROUP DISCOUNTS?

Yes. Group discounts of tickets of 25 or more are available. Please contact sales@ivorystar.com.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DRIVE THROUGH 5 MILLION LIGHTS?

Driving through Glittering Lights at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway takes approximately 40 magnificent minutes on average. Please drive safely and pay attention to the road.

ARE THERE CONCESSIONS?

This is a complete in-car experience. Concessions will be available. In fact, you will drive your vehicle right past the concession area where a Boy Scout will take your order, should you choose to purchase, and deliver treats right at your vehicle – so you don’t leave your vehicle.

Concession earnings are donated to Southern Nevada area Boy Scout troops who are learning customer service skills and earning money for activities and camp by working this event. Cocoa, water, kettle and butter corn are some of the items available.

ARE THERE RESTROOMS?

A few speedway restrooms will be open to the public near the entry, however, there are no restrooms inside Glittering Lights, so please go before you drive through.

WHAT IS THE HEIGHT LIMIT FOR MOTORHOMES AND TOUR BUSES?

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 $2 per person. If your headcount at $2 per person is less than the nightly minimum, you will pay the nightly minimum for the Weekday, ANYDAY, or FAST Pass ticket price. For example, say you have 9 people on your bus, that would be $18 – so you would still pay $39 for an ANYDAY ticket. If you have 30 people on your bus, that would be $60.

IS THE LIGHT SHOW OPEN ON THANKSGIVING DAY AND CHRISTMAS DAY?

Absolutely! Open every day from opening date to closing date. That’s about 60 days of holiday spirit! We love holidays. We are open on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

WHAT ABOUT RAINY OR SNOWY DAYS?

Glittering Lights is open rain, shine AND snow!

On especially windy nights, please check Glittering Lights social media (Instagram & Twitter @lasvegaslights or Facebook.com/glitteringlightslasvegas) for timely updates.

WHEN IS THE LIVE NATIVITY OPEN?

The Living Nativity, presented in partnership through several churches and organizations in Southern Nevada, is traditionally open select dates in November and December. Check our special events calendar for presentation dates.

HOW CAN MY GROUP FUNDRAISE?

Semi-private and private Santa Tram nights are available on select December evenings. Email FundraisingFun@GlitteringLights.Vegas for more details. Blackout dates do apply. Dates available on a first reserve basis.

HOW DO I GET MY COMPANY INVOLVED?

Branding opportunities to reach more than 500,000 people with your message can include a sponsored promotional night, custom light display or ad placement in The Wrapping Paper. Showing community support through the holidays is a great way to boost holiday awareness and sales. Email us at sales@ivorystar.com, we are easy to talk to and love helping partners get their message out.

Are pets allowed?

We welcome all pets to ride along. They must remain in the vehicle with you at all times.
