In celebration of the holiday season and the return of one of Las Vegas’ most adored holiday destinations, Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Deryk Engelland will host The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas’ second annual tree lighting ceremony. Fans, locals and tourists alike can take part in the variety of winter festivities The Ice Rink has to offer during the lighting of the 36-foot tall tree on Dec. 5.
