In the days of westward expansion, pioneer families loaded up their luxurious motorized covered wagons and drove to meet their manifest destiny, guided only by their ambition, and the glow of giant LED light displays. Revive an American tradition with today's Groupon: for $30, you get two tickets to the holiday lights motor coach tour on December 18th from Arrow Stage Lines (a $60 value). The tour kicks off promptly at 7 p.m., so guests should be sure to arrive at the pick up point outside the Dick's Sporting Goods at the Westroads Mall by 6:45 p.m.

Let Arrow Stage Lines' fleet of luxurious motorized coaches whisk you away to experience Omaha's festive illuminated attractions. Yule-seeking passengers will enjoy the sounds of their favorite holiday tunes as the reindeer-less sleigh makes its way along the west side and midtown for a glimpse of the twinkling residential displays. Next, the tour ventures where Santa fears to tread and takes a turn towards the downtown area for an after-hours peek at the illuminated local businesses and parks dressed in their finest holiday ensembles.

While refreshments aren't provided, guests are welcome to bring their own snacks and drinks on board the comfy tour bus. Each tour lasts approximately an hour and a half; which is just long enough to achieve a warm fuzzy holiday feeling, yet short enough to avoid being marooned and forced to spend years subjected to the professor's ill-conceived coconut radios.
