    At the Venetian hotel’s brand-new rink, skaters are surrounded by rink-side bar kiosks and appropriately flashy decorations like 30 giant sparkly snowflakes. A holiday-theme light show takes place nightly, and there’s a package available that combines a skating session with an outdoor gondola ride. Only in Vegas. (Courtesy of The Venetian)
