Practicalities
Residential displays have no facilities of their own — no parking, no toilets, nowhere to warm up — so it is worth knowing what is around. Within about three miles of the North Las Vegas cluster, OpenStreetMap maps 0 public car parks and 0 public toilets. Only 4 cafés or takeaways nearby, so bring a flask if you want one. Note the lack of public toilets in particular if you are taking children.

A Grinch-themed yard display serving the North Las Vegas side of the valley, where big light stops are scarcer. It makes a natural pairing with the nearby Vincelli neighborhood cluster.
