Spanning more than 15 acres, Global Winter Wonderland features giant illuminated lanterns depicting scenes that include a Christmas holiday village and landscapes from around the world. Highlights include recreations of some of the world’s greatest architectural achievements, including the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower, Chichen Itza, and much more. The eco-friendly lanterns, some of which tower more than 50 feet high and span nearly 100 feet long, are illuminated with low voltage LEDs and fluorescent lights. The new family event of the holiday season also features numerous carnival rides and games, international cuisine, arts and crafts, photos with Santa, live entertainment, and celebrations of holiday traditions and various cultures from around the world.
Additionally, Global Winter Wonderland will bring the worldwide trend of ball play pits to life with two ball pits boasting nearly 2 million spheres of fun! A tented area geared to guests 21+ will feature a LED lit ball pit, placed alongside a DJ and cocktail bar – a combination play zone and nightclub, all rolled into one. A second interactive ball play pit will be featured as part of the Kids Zone, which will include carnival rides and children’s activities and games.
“We are thrilled to bring Global Winter Wonderland to the residents and visitors of Las Vegas,” said Lulu Huang, Founder and President, International Cultural Exchange Group. “What better place than Las Vegas to travel around the world in one night while experiencing the sights, tastes and sounds of various cultures, all under the glittering lights!”
