Are Any Casinos in Las Vegas Going to Have Fireworks on July 4, 2020?

With the upcoming Independence Day festivities, many are eagerly anticipating the traditional firework displays across the United States. However, the landscape is notably different for Las Vegas as the city navigates the ongoing challenges posed by the pandemic.

The Strip Casino Scenario

Unfortunately, the major strip casinos in Las Vegas will not be hosting fireworks displays this July 4th. The excitement moves downtown to Fremont Street where there will be a grand fireworks display as usual. Additionally, a few notable 'off-strip' casinos, such as The M Resort, Red Rock Resort, and Green Valley Ranch, will contribute to the spectacle by lighting up the sky with their own fireworks.

Community Efforts and Public Safety

However, there's still plenty of fun to be had. The Las Vegas Sun reported that many of the major resorts will be celebrating. While there may not be the dazzling rooftop fireworks of the past, there are still events and activities available for guests and locals alike. It's advised to ensure personal safety by wearing masks to protect everyone from any ongoing health risks.

Uncertainty for Other Events

The situation is far from clear for other Independence Day events in Las Vegas. For instance, the Las Vegas Aviators, the city's longtime Triple-A baseball franchise, may not have their traditional fireworks display following a game. Although the franchise has sold out the Fourth of July game for an impressive 33 consecutive years, officials have yet to make a final decision. Similarly, the Las Vegas Lights FC, which is planning their annual fireworks display following a home game at Cashman Field, have seen their season pause due to the United Soccer League's guidelines.

ldquo;It's too early for us to know, [said Chelsea Ryder, a spokeswoman for Caesars Entertainment].rdquo; This sentiment echoes throughout the tourism industry as the region collectively waits for clarity on how events will proceed.

Official Optimism with Caution

Despite the uncertainties, there's an undercurrent of hope. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) and its resort partners are excited to welcome guests back. However, safety remains the top priority. Lori Nelson-Kraft, senior vice president of communications and government affairs for the LVCVA, stated in a statement, ldquo;The LVCVA and our resort partners are excited to welcome guests back to the destination with the reopening on June 4. As we move forward, we will continue to follow the guidance of state leaders and health experts so that we can continue to ensure the health and safety of our guests.rdquo;

With these measures in place, while the details of July Fourth celebrations in Las Vegas may be uncertain, there is still a promising outlook for a fun and safe Independence Day experience.

Conclusion

While the major strip casinos will not have fireworks on July 4, 2020, there are still numerous options for entertainment and celebration in Las Vegas. With proper safety measures in place, the city is working to ensure a grand Independence Day this year. Stay tuned as the details of upcoming events are clarified closer to the holiday.
