The Clark County Museum will celebrate the holiday season with its free annual Heritage Holidays event from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Dec. 13 and Dec. 14 at the museum, located at 1830 S. Boulder Highway in Henderson.
Starting Nov. 29, through Jan. 3, the museum’s collection of historic homes and buildings on Heritage Street also will be decorated for the holidays and open for self-guided tours during normal business hours of 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. seven days a week. Daylight tours require daily museum admission, which is $2 for adults, $1 for children. The museum is closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

“Our Heritage Holidays celebration will put you in the holiday spirit and give you a great sense of community and joy,” said Clark County Commissioner Jim Gibson, whose District G includes the museum. “We look forward to hosting this event each year with support from our Clark County Museum Guild.”
Now in its ninth year, the Heritage Holidays event is the only time when the public can visit Heritage Street at night to see the museum's unique collection of homes and buildings lit up for the holidays. The two-night festival includes holiday music and strolling carolers from Green Valley High School's acclaimed Madrigals choir, a craft tent where children can make their own holiday decorations, visits with Santa and his elves in the outdoor gazebo, and plenty of hot cocoa.
Heritage Street highlights include the old Boulder City train depot, the former Candlelight wedding chapel that existed on the grounds of the Algiers Motel across the street on the Strip from the Riviera Hotel, and a turn-of-the century railroad cottage from Downtown Las Vegas.
