A warning about the lighting parade. Even though the start time is stated as 8pm, that is down by the airport. It didn't get downtown (by the crystal casino) until after 11pm the year we went. It is spectacular to see. We left around 2am because we had to find a taxi and knew it would be impossible after the parade. As it was, we ended up sharing a taxi (a driver saw us and told us to get in). I loved it though. It was like a giant party downtown.

About what time will the parade on 2/14/10 reach downtown?
