Christmas Nightlife and Fremont Street in December

If your version of Christmas in Las Vegas involves more friends and cocktails than sleigh rides, start downtown.

For Friday, December 18, turn that night into an event with The Great Onesie Christmas Crawl. Check in at BarCanada on the second floor of the D between 3 and 9 p.m., join the festivities across participating downtown bars, then head to the Legacy Club after-party at Circa beginning at 9 p.m.
