Las Vegas Fourth of July Fireworks: Where To Watch

It’s getting to be that time of year, and Station Casinos has announced their 4th of July fireworks show for the upcoming holiday weekend. Of course The Mike & Carla Morning Show are happy to announce that it will actually kickoff the holiday weekend since the 4th is on a Thursday this year. . .YAY!

In the past, the fireworks have been on either side of the valley. One being at Red Rock and the other being at Green Valley Ranch. However, this year, they are utilizing their newest venture right in the middle.

According to a report by Channel 3, Station Casinos will have a firework show launching from their newest property. You will be able to witness the fireworks spectacular at Durango Casino & Resort, just off the 215 and Durango Drive.

Station Casinos Announce 4th of July Fireworks Show

For those of us of who have lived here for a good amount of time, Station Casinos always put on a good show for the 4th and this should not be any different. Now three of their properties will light up the sky for locals.

You should already have your spot picked out, where ever that might be. Now, we’ve talked about this before on the morning show. But with the growth of the valley, most of the good spots have been developed and no longer exist.

But there are always places to park the car and watch them all. All three properties will start to shoot off the pyrotechnics at 9 p.m. with music. The report also states that each of the shows will be streamed LIVE on social media.

If you feel like getting closer to the action, Channel 3 also reports that all three properties will host a “viewing” party. Tickets are $35 for ages 12 and up and $10 for kids 2 years of age to 11.

You can get your tickets now or at the gift shops at any of the three properties.

Once again, Stations has hired the best to do the job…and no one does fireworks better than Grucci. So, get ready Las Vegas to sit back and enjoy!

Where Does Las Vegas Rank For The 4th of July

With the 4th of July right around the corner, WalletHub put out a list of the 100 best places in the U.S. for Fourth of July celebrations. Where does Las Vegas rank for the 4th of July? Well, we’re not #1, but we are in the Top 5! Based on public fanfare and fireworks overall. They also included affordability, everything going on around the holiday as well as weather and safety. Turns out Las Vegas rates really well!

Before we get to the Top 5, other cities that came in the Top 10…San Diego, San Antonio and Milwaukee! On the other hand, the worst cities to end up in on the fourth? Birmingham, Alabama comes in at the bottom at #100! Clearly nothing is going on there when it comes to the 4th of July. Surprisingly, a few cities in North Carolina also ranked in the bottom ten!

But, The Mike & Carla Morning Show also wanted to know where the BEST place was to watch from here in Vegas. Keep in mind, that with all the growth over the years, what might have been a great vantage point might not even be there now.

Listeners did text in and call in with their favorite spots that still seem viable throughout the valley. Keeping in mind that there will be fireworks all over the valley…especially if the weather cooperates! It does seem logical that the higher you go, the better the sight line. On the flipside, we found out that you really don’t have to worry about depending on where you live.

All we know is Las Vegas takes the 4th very seriously and being in the Top 5 proves it. But where do we officially rank? You can scroll down a bit to find out, then take a few minutes to enjoy the segment from this morning…and enjoy!
