"The Altitude Rooftop & Pool, located on the 6th floor of the Marriott Marquis Hotel, has been transformed into a winter wonderland. Coined Texas Winter Lights, the display of 1,500 glittering lights across the sprawling terrace is shown daily until Sunday, December 31, along with plenty of photo displays and treat stations with candy and churro bars. Attendees can also float the famed Texas-shaped lazy river, which has been heated to 80 degrees. As a first this year, those looking for additional holiday cheer can reserve a 6-course dining experience in the Gastrodome, an igloo-inspired set up that can accommodate up to 10 people." - Megha McSwain, Brittany Britto Garley
