“I had a great time at the Glittering Lights red carpet event,” said Dixie. “The performance by Tape Face was very entertaining. Guests dressed up in their Christmas attire and it really brought the holiday spirit to life. Santa made an impressive entrance in the Las Vegas Fire & Rescue truck. The light show was so beautifully done and the ride through the Glittering Lights was so enjoyable. It was a great night of delicious food, fun entertainment and beautiful light show. My daughters and I really had a great time.”

Tape Face was this years’ headliner for the joyous affair. Tape Face was joined on stage by Jayne Post of “Marriage Can Be Murder” at the D Las Vegas, for a countdown to the unveiling and the traditional button-pushing for the light launch.
