Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in Las Vegas 2026: Shows and What's Open
Updated November 2026. Christmas Vegas is run by the team behind The Modern Showrooms at Alexis Park, where the holiday shows on this site play.
Las Vegas does not close for Christmas. On Christmas Eve, Thursday, December 24, and Christmas Day, Friday, December 25, 2026, there are holiday shows on stage both nights, and some of the light displays stay open. A few things do close, so here is what is on and what is not.

Planning Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve is the last night for Magical Forest before its Christmas Day break, and Santa's last night at Ethel M is December 23, so a family evening might be Magical Forest when it opens at 5:30 PM, then All MotownSM's Merry Motown at 7:30 PM or Sinatra Live!'s Merry Frankmas at 8 PM. For an earlier night, see the Bellagio Conservatory in the afternoon and Feeling Good Vegas: Holiday Classics at 5:30 PM. Ethel M closes early, at 8 PM, on Christmas Eve.
Planning Christmas Day
With Magical Forest and Ethel M closed, Christmas Day is the day for the Bellagio Conservatory and the Oasis Ice Rink, then a show in the evening. Glittering Lights is the one big light display open that night; it is 25 to 30 minutes north-east of the Strip, so see it from 5 PM and come back for Sinatra Live!'s Merry Frankmas at 8 PM.
