Nevada Ballet Theatre's holiday production of The Nutcracker is a festive, joyous Las Vegas tradition that keeps on growing. In 2016, NBT's company artists will lead you through the wonder and sparkle of the season with eleven performances over three weekends. Come along on a journey from the warmth of Clara's family home to a land of toy soldiers, mischievous rodents and exotic visitors from faraway lands. Glittering holiday cheer will fill the stage and Tchaikovsky's beloved score will fill the theater as Clara and her Nutcracker Prince dance through a larger than life world filled with waltzing flowers, nimble fairies, and moonlit snow.

During the holiday season, reports of fraud, theft, and all sorts of scams aimed at taking advantage of people during a time of giving are numerous.
