Poolside parties, hot dog soirees, sparkling beverage specials and park parades will be happening this year! There are many places to get a good view of the fireworks on the Strip from around the valley. There are also fireworks at the Las Vegas Aviators ball game, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and in Henderson, Boulder City and Laughlin. (I’ll also be updating the pools sitch for locals at Strip hotels. Some still let locals in free.)
Now is a good time to get in on the summer sale at POGO Pass! GEt into 10+ places all year long for $49.99, such as Aviators games, Cowabunga Bay, and two trips to Sky Zone, Las Vegas Mini Gran Prix, Uptown Jungle and more!

Tips to Tailgate
If you plan to head out to a parking lot or set up in a vacant lot to catch the fireworks shows from local casinos, then you will want to follow a few rules. Be aware that other families may be practicing social distancing and keep a neighborly and respectful space away.
The earlier you set up, the better chances of securing a spot where you can spread out. Make sure to drink lots of water during the day and into the evening to stay hydrated. Tune into a local station during the fireworks shows to further the patriotic feeling. Local stations include: The Bull 95.5, The Mountain 93.1, Real 103.9, Sunny 106.5.
