This would never happen in LA.
Today the Las Vegas Sun reports that the widening project of Interstate 15 will come to complete a full 10 months ahead of schedule.
Consider it a Christmas gift — major construction on Interstate 15 north of the Spaghetti Bowl will be finished and all lanes and ramps will be open on Christmas Eve.
Compare that to the 10+ years of road work we had to deal with on the 405 freeway from LAX to Santa Monica and Valley freeway projects seem downright lovely.
Here are two fun activities for the wee-little ones to enjoy leading up to Christmas:
Magical Forest at Opportunity Village
Decorated trees, carousel rides and photo-ops with Santa Claus
Open Nightly at 5:30pm
$7.50 child
$9.50 adult
Winter Lights Festival at the Springs Preserve
LED light decorations, entertainment, craft activities and food.
Open Nightly at 5pm
$4.00 child
$8.00 adult
This year Las Vegas is home to the tallest Christmas tree in the United States. That’s taller than the one at Rockefeller Center in New York and even the one on display on the national mall in Washington DC.
The M Resort is displaying a 109′ tall tree – the tallest cut tree in the country. We’re planning to go visit later this week to see it for ourselves.
See how the M Resort’s tree compares to others across the nation.
We woke up to beautiful white-capped mountains this morning! It’s been very cold the last few days with temperatures in the low 30s at night. Will we see another day of real snow here in Las Vegas?
