If there's one thing Las Vegas knows how to do, it's go big. So when it comes to holiday celebrations, you better believe the lights are next-level. Welcome to Candy Rush, World of Illumination's sweetest and most spectacular Las Vegas holiday light show—right in the heart of the city.

This is no ordinary drive-through display. Candy Rush is a full-on visual adventure, featuring millions of synchronized lights dancing to your favorite holiday tunes. Think peppermint swirls, gingerbread villages, giant lollipops, and more than a few surprises along the way. It's the kind of experience that turns a basic December night into a memory-making extravaganza.

Lights, Lasers, Action!

One of the coolest things about Candy Rush is that it's not just a display—it's an animated world. Each section of the route is carefully crafted to tell a part of the story, complete with candy-themed characters and eye-popping installations. You'll cruise past frosty forests, whimsical creatures, and a few dancing snowmen who really know how to boogie.

Need a selfie with a six-foot gummy bear? You got it. Want to wave at a marshmallow reindeer? They’re expecting you. Candy Rush isn't just a visual treat—it's interactive fun that puts you right in the middle of a holiday fantasyland.

And don’t worry about the cold. This is a drive-through event, so you can crank the heater, blast the music, and stay cozy in your car as you roll through a mile-long symphony of lights.

Why Candy Rush?

Candy Rush brings together everything Las Vegas is known for—spectacle, creativity, and a little bit of magic. It's perfect for date nights, family outings, or just an excuse to wear your holiday pajamas in public (we won't judge).

Kids love it. Adults love it. Even the grumpy uncle who "doesn't do Christmas" will crack a smile. And for the social media savvy, it’s basically a goldmine of Instagram-worthy moments. Your feed will thank you.

More Than Just Lights

What sets this Las Vegas holiday light show apart is the detail. The lights are set to an original musical score, created to heighten the drama and joy of each illuminated scene. There are glowing tunnels that pulse in time with the beat, and every twist and turn offers a new surprise.

Want to keep the holiday vibes going? Make it a whole night out. Pair your Candy Rush experience with a hot cocoa run, or swing by one of the nearby restaurants for a post-show dessert. This is Vegas, after all—you've got options.

Not sure what to wear? Embrace the festive spirit! Ugly sweaters, light-up necklaces, and Santa hats are all fair game. It’s one of the few times you can be both cozy and wildly over-the-top without raising eyebrows—because honestly, in Vegas, anything goes.

Pro Tips for the Ultimate Experience

• Arrive early to avoid long lines and catch the sunset as the lights begin to glow.
• Pack snacks and drinks to keep everyone happy in the car (bonus points for bringing themed treats!).
• Tune your radio to the special holiday broadcast that syncs with the show—it’s a must for the full effect.
• Charge your phone and bring a car charger so you can snap photos and videos without worrying about battery life.

Get Your Tickets Early

World of Illumination's Las Vegas holiday light show runs on select nights throughout the season. Because it's one of the most popular holiday attractions in town, tickets can sell out quickly. Pro tip: book early and go on a weekday for a slightly less busy (but equally dazzling) ride.

So grab your favorite snacks, cue up the holiday playlist, and prepare to be transported. Candy Rush is a sugar-fueled joyride through the most colorful corners of Christmas.

This season, skip the ordinary. Go full Vegas. Go full sparkle. Go Candy Rush.
