The Enchant holiday experience proved last year that there’s still space to go next-level in Las Vegas.

The Christmas-themed pop-up attraction took over the Las Vegas Ballpark in Downtown Summerlin with an interactive light maze stocked with towering trees and glowing reindeer, an ice-skating rink, a holiday village, food and drinks and, of course, some serious Santa time. In a city where the casinos and shopping malls go over-the-top with Christmas decor, Enchant set a new standard.

“We’ve got some great Christmas experiences in town but nothing on the scale of what Enchant is doing,” says Jerry Nadal, former Cirque du Soleil and KNPR executive and now chief operating officer of Enchant. “It has everything that you look at in the different parts of town; it’s just putting it all together.”

Enchant has grown to include seven other locations across the country, including Fair Park in Dallas, PayPal Park in San Jose, California, and Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. But this year, it’s producing two experiences in Las Vegas, returning to the ballpark with expanded programming and a different theme and moving the reindeer-hunt maze that enchanted local families last year to Resorts World on the Strip.

“If there’s one city in the entire world where this can happen, it’s Vegas,” Nadal recalls telling Enchant CEO Kevin Johnson. “There’s never really been anything for tourists on the Strip of this magnitude, and locals, we go to stuff locally before the Strip. So we get to hit two different demographics.”

Enchant opened at Resorts World on November 19 and will continue through January 1 on 10 acres of undeveloped land on the massive resort site. Since the layout differs from the ballpark’s convenient concourse, a temporary overlook was constructed to create a promenade with views of the lights and maze.

Nadal says Henderson residents might want to hit the Strip version of Enchant this year, and locals who enjoyed the attraction last year could check out both this time.

A “mischievous elf” theme will be the focus at the ballpark, where guests roaming the new maze will help find missing presents for Santa to deliver. Other fresh elements at the Summerlin site, open November 25 through January 1, include a Build-A-Bear workshop, an upgraded Tipsy Tavern area for adults, and the Hallmark Channel Holiday House, where holiday movies will be playing along with other activities and contests.

One key change is that the entrance will now be behind the ballpark, in the outfield parking lot area, which should reduce some of the congestion experienced last year.

“I think the kids are a given, how they light up when they see this stuff. But when I saw a group of adults walking around acting like little kids, it was clear there’s a magic sauce here that just works for everybody,” Nadal says. “People were just smiling and having a good time, and we’ve been adding entertainment and looking at other ways to elevate that experience this year.”
