Major Oscar Goodman Lights Up Downtown

Las Vegas Mayor Oscar with his Vegas Showgirls prepares to light the 50 foot Christmas Tree in downtown Las Vegas.

Flipchip took a tour through downtown Las Vegas to watch Hizzoner, Mayor Oscar Goodman, flip the big switch to turn on the Christmas Tree lights at the Fremont Experience. A large holiday crowd was onhand for the festivities and cheered the when the tree blinked on.

The Mayor’s prerequisite showgirls were by his side wearimg practically nothing unless you count feathers and after the Mayor departed they joined Santa as Vegas showgirls elves, much to the dismay of some of the parents with children. Few were allowing their children to be photographed with a Santa flanked with all that bare skin, actually cold blue bare skin (temps were in the thirties). A few of Flipchip’s photos of the Las Vegas official Christmas tree… lighting ceremony.
