Where are the best fireworks displays? And where are the best places to watch them? Plus, there are pool parties, parades, and concerts to attend all weekend long.
Sin City transforms into a pyrotechnic paradise every July 4th, with Las Vegas fireworks scheduled at 9 p.m. across the Strip, downtown, and the Valley. Caesars Palace leads the charge, lighting up the sky from the fountains and rooftops by the iconic Julius Tower. Downtown, the Plaza Hotel & Casino dazzles with aerial bursts visible high above Fremont Street at both 9 p.m. on July 4th — the rooftop pool party offering prime panoramic views. Meanwhile, off-Strip spots like Durango Casino, Green Valley Ranch, Red Rock Casino, M Resort, and Henderson Heritage Park each host their own 9 p.m. community fireworks displays, along with live music and food trucks — many featuring ticketed viewing areas.
But it’s not just about fireworks — Vegas offers a full Fourth of July takeover: daytime pool parties at places like TAO Beach, Palm Tree Beach Club, Circa’s Stadium Swim, and Resorts World’s BBQ bash. There are headline concerts, such as Kelly Clarkson’s Studio Sessions at the Colosseum and The Weeknd with Playboi Carti at Allegiant Stadium. Country-stylin’ rooftop parties light up the Rio’s VooDoo Lounge, Craig Morgan performs on Fremont Street, and summer parades march through Summerlin. Traditional festivities in Boulder City include the beloved Damboree, featuring a pancake breakfast, parade, and fireworks at Veterans Memorial Park.
In short, Las Vegas fireworks are the highlight of a city-wide Independence Day celebration — pairing dazzling aerial shows with blockbuster concerts, dayclubs, and nightlife all weekend. Whether you’re watching the big bursts over the Strip, dancing at a rooftop pool, or toasting country vibes poolside, Las Vegas delivers a Fourth of July experience that’s bold, bright, and unforgettable.
