We’ve all seen amazing fireworks shows on July 4th and New Year’s Eve in and around Las Vegas. Now you’ll be able to enjoy Plaza fireworks shows every Friday night all summer long!

Here’s What You Need To Know About Summer Plaza Fireworks Shows

Beginning Friday night, May 24th, to kick off Memorial Day Weekend, the Plaza Hotel and Casino will light up the night. Then, every Friday night right through Labor Day Weekend, you can enjoy Plaza fireworks shows in Downtown Las Vegas.

Of course, these Plaza fireworks shows are dependent on good weather. If the Fire Marshall says it’s too windy to light fireworks, it’s a no-go. However, weather permitting, you can catch Friday night Plaza fireworks shows starting at 9:15 p.m.

Without a doubt, Las Vegas locals and tourists will be able to view the Friday night Plaza fireworks shows from many places in and around Downtown Las Vegas.

But if you want “the best seats in the house,” you’ll want to make plans to view the live fireworks shows from the Plaza’s Carousel Bar or rooftop pool deck. Remember, you’ll have to be a guest of the Plaza Hotel and Casino to view the shows in these exclusive locations.

Las Vegas Is Home To 6 Of The Top 10 Most Romantic Casinos

For many people, Valentines Day is the most romantic day on the calendar. Besides your relationship or wedding anniversary, February 14th is an annual reminder to let your sweetheart know that you love them. With that in mind, the experts at Casinos.com decided to check internet reviews to determine the nation’s most romantic casinos.

Las Vegas Is Home To Plenty Of The Most Romantic Casinos

It may be difficult for one to consider Las Vegas a romantic destination. Sure, if you want action, if you want to party, if you want incredible food, Vegas is your place. But is it really a great place for a romantic getaway for two?

Of course, based on television shows and movies, we know that Las Vegas is a great place to visit BEFORE the wedding. Certainly, Las Vegas is the perfect spot for bachelor and bachelorette parties. But that doesn’t count as romance. However, I can see why our home city is an excellent destination for marriage proposals, honeymoons, and anniversary celebrations. There’s plenty to do and see. Plus, Las Vegas offers some of the best dining and entertainment on the planet.

So, this Casinos.com survey of the most romantic casinos in the nation isn’t as crazy as you might think. Obviously, there are an incredible number of casinos in Sin City. So it may not be surprising to learn that our city boasts six of the top 10 most romantic casinos in the U.S.A.

Here’s How The Rankings For This Survey Are Determined

Basically, Colm Phelan’s article on the Casinos.com website bases the findings on internet reviews. In general, they consider reviews of the 30 busiest casinos in the nation. These casinos receive the most internet reviews.

Then, they check for keywords such as “romantic,” “proposal,” “wedding,” “marriage,” and “honeymoon” to see which casinos get the most mentions. Besides the six Las Vegas casinos, there are casinos from Detroit, Michigan, Mount Pleasant, Michigan, Temecula, California, and Seneca, New York making the top 10.

Without further ado, here are the six Las Vegas properties in the top 10 most romantic casinos in America!

  • 6) Mandalay Bay Resort And Casino

    Weddings

    Every couple is unique and every wedding should cater to your vision of the perfect day. Weddings by Mandalay Bay invites you to create a day as unique as your love.

    Per the Casinos.com survey, Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino ranks 10th in the nation when it comes to romance. The wedding page on their website boasts big awards from Las Vegas Bride Magazine, such as “Best Wedding Chapel, Weddings by Water, Best Wedding Resort, and Five Star Awards.” Of course, to be a top-notch wedding destination, they must have experienced wedding planners. They’ll take care of a bride’s every need, from the flowers, the cake, the catering, the decor, and the photographer. “I do!”

  • 5) MGM Grand Las Vegas

    Suites

    Book your hotels tonight at MGM Grand & get discounts on room rates in Las Vegas. Choose from standard rooms, suites, & luxurious 2 bedroom suites or SKYLOFTS.

    The MGM Grand Las Vegas comes in at number eight in the Casinos.com rankings. Although I could not locate a wedding page on their website, this legendary property certainly boasts amazing nightlife, restaurants, and entertainment. Perfect for a Las Vegas honeymoon, or if someone is ready to pop “the question.” However, it’s interesting to note that the MGM Grand Detroit performs better in this romance survey, placing fifth in the rankings. Las Vegas sounds like a more romantic destination, but I guess I feel that way because I’ve lived here for so long.

  • 4) Bellagio Hotel And Casino

    Las Vegas Weddings & Wedding Chapel

    At Bellagio, the only requirement for your wedding is your presence. By entrusting your important day to Bellagio, be assured that every detail is addressed in our quest to maintain a legacy of extraordinary service.

    I would have guessed that the Bellagio Hotel and Casino would have placed much higher in the rankings in this Casinos.com review. Of course, this beautiful property ranks in the top 10, coming in at number seven. The Bellagio offers four amazing wedding sites on their grounds. The bride and groom can choose from the East Chapel, the South Chapel, the Terrazza di Sogno, or the Fountain Courtyard. Getting married near the iconic Bellagio Fountains would be spectacular, wouldn’t it? But not on a windy day. You don’t want the bride to end up soaking wet before the photographer takes the wedding pictures.

  • 3) Aria Resort And Casino

    Vegas Wedding Packages, Venues, & Planners

    Weddings at ARIA Las Vegas are always a memorable occasion. Work with our wedding planners to secure the best wedding venue in Las Vegas - indoors or out!

    OK, now we’re down to the three most romantic casinos in the nation, which all happen to be located right here in Southern Nevada. Placing third in this survey is the Aria Resort and Casino. Although there is only one wedding chapel on site, there are plenty of romantic places to tie the knot in this hotel and casino. Additionally, many reviewers find the Aria to be a great spot for honeymoons and marriage proposals. After all, this luxury resort and casino has received both the AAA Five Diamond Award and a five-star rating from Forbes Travel Guide according to their website.

  • 2) Red Rock Casino Resort And Spa

    Las Vegas Hotel Wedding Packages | Luxury Weddings | Red Rock Resort

    Create an unforgettably beautiful wedding at Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas. Contact our wedding specialists to design your perfect wedding package.

    Here’s the biggest surprise in this Casinos.com survey of the most romantic casinos in the nation. I would have guessed that all of the Las Vegas properties making this list would be located on The Strip. But no! A Las Vegas locals property in Summerlin places second. Congratulations to Red Rock Resort, Casino and Spa. The wedding page on their website boasts wedding venues poolside, or with amazing views of the Las Vegas Strip and nearby canyons. Of course, they offer ballroom weddings and receptions as well. I bet a lot of the positive romantic reviews  came from locals who celebrate anniversaries at Red Rock Resort, Casino, and Spa. Great place for a romantic staycation!

  • 1) The Venetian Resort Las Vegas

    Weddings

    Bring the charm of Italy to your wedding day with The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. Choose from breathtaking venues and exclusive wedding packages.

    And now, the most romantic casino in the U.S.A. is…(drumroll please): The Venetian Resort Las Vegas! And why not? It’s almost like being in the romantic city of Venice, Italy with the gondola rides down the Grand Canal. Plus, you’re surrounded by all that beautiful Mediterranean-inspired art and architecture. According to the Venetian website, “the Venezia Gardens are one of the best outdoor Las Vegas wedding venues.” The Venetian outperformed the second place finisher by a wide margin, so there’s no question about it. When it comes to weddings, marriage proposals, honeymoons, anniversary celebrations, or a romantic getaway for two, The Venetian Resort Las Vegas is a winner.
