    Whether you're a big ol' group or a single peep looking to give back, Spread The Word has something for you to do. The organization works to get books to children within Southern Nevada's at-risk, low income communities and to promote literacy. How do you help? By cleaning donated books! You may wonder why a book needs cleaning, but trust me, a book can get quite dirty. During Yelp Helps I was searching for organizations that could host a group of volunteers, and Spread The Word was eager to organize a Book Cleaning Party for 25-30 volunteers. The process was simple; they were open to a weekend morning, and the volunteer day was fun. Perusing children's books is unexpectedly entertaining and at times educational. For example, I learned all about wildlife scat. Who knew that the poop of animals varies according to the season? Amazing. If you're an individual, they host weekly book cleanings, just give them a call to find out when and where. They are also in need of books, so if you have some children's books you are looking to donate or are up for hosting a book drive, this is a spot that could use the donations! Now, go Yelp help!

    Spread the Word Nevada is a great organization that I was fortunate to help out with. What volunteers had to do was give these donated books a little tender love and care so that they can be sorted and distributed to at-risk children in the Las Vegas area. The event is 2 hours long. They give a little spiel about who they are, what they do, and some basic instructions on how to put the books in the best possible condition. So we're wiping the books down, removing stickers, flipping through the pages and taping ripped pages and erasing marks here and there. Word to the wise, if it's something you wouldn't want as a gift, toss it. Nobody wants sloppy seconds or books past its prime. Also no anime books or adult fiction! It's a pretty fun event! You get a trip down memory lane sorting through all the books of your childhood and get an occasional good laugh when you see books that just don't belong. Definitely a fun event if you're looking to give back to the community.

    Responsive, kind staff. Understood what I needed and filled it. They donate chapter books for k-5 to schools cost-free.

Each season is beautifully done with festive displays, lights, and decorations that make you feel like you've stepped into a storybook. There's so much to do for all ages...a charming train ride through the forest, a classic carousel, the fun Avalanche Slide, and endless photo opportunities everywhere you turn. It's perfect for families, date nights, or even just a cozy night out with friends. The beer garden is a great touch for adults, while kids (and kids at heart) can enjoy hot cocoa and funnel cakes. Everything is thoughtfully laid out and keeps the energy fun and festive without feeling overwhelming. What really makes this place special is knowing that your visit supports a great cause while creating lasting memories. The staff and volunteers are friendly, and you can tell a lot of heart goes into making this event magical every year. Highly recommend making this a seasonal tradition, it's pure joy, nostalgia, and holiday spirit all in one

    Cold night After Christmas- the monday after Christmas…read more Mix of music, not just Christmas music, but also popular music too. NO TRAIN- this was our favorite part This was a bummer!!! As seen, in my Pics The Gift Shop's items' isn't priced too badly; there were some items that I was considering, but you know how it is, after the Holidays, your bank account is pretty lean; I have a lot of people to buy for, I've got a large family. There were five Grinch- themed trees. Many of the trees were decorated very nicely. It's a beautiful sight to see. We went on the Carousel, and we did two rounds of Mini-Golf, which was fun. We also went down the Avalanche twice. Stringbean went three times. Gone are the years of seeing all of the Gingerbread Houses. Now, there are a lot of fundraising food/drink stands, I get it, it's an organization.
