    210,000 Christmas Lights

    Set to music and computer controlled. It took them 3 months to hang the lights.

    Lots of lights, but I still like the one from a few years back much better. It was the one set to Trans Siberian Orchestra music and was later used in a beer commercial.

      You mean this one?

      Really cool! I love this, especially during Christmas! This was somebody's house every SINGLE NIGHT, at about 10:30 pm! Cool isn't it? Post your comments.

        Yep, that one. I think less is more. The one from this year is too busy and doesn't tell a story with lights like the older one did.

          I always liked that one. The music got your toes tapping.

            I guess there will be those who will consider it a "Must see, spectacular event". Others might view it as an incredible waste of energy. But the Griswolds will see it as a challenge.

              That's quite a show. Sent it on to my oldest son who puts up quite a display every year, but nothing like that.

                  I think its cool but what does a Vegas casino wannabe really have to do with Christmas?
