Fourth of July in Las Vegas
I can’t believe the 4th of July is next week! I swear it feels like we just took down the Christmas tree.
If you’re not content to sit out front with the kids and the neighbors and see how long it takes for someone to singe their eyebrows or need to use the emergency bucket of water, consider one of the events below instead!
Las Vegas 51s and Fireworks
When: 7:05 p.m. July 2 & 3 with fireworks immediately following the games
Where: Cashman Field
Admission: $13 general admission

The 51s host the Salt Lake Bees. Fireworks will follow the games both nights. July 3rd is also dollar beer night.
(Tip: there’s tons of parking around outside the field - grab some folding chairs and show up about half an hour before the game ends to still see the fireworks!)

Clark County Parks and Recreation is taking Fourth of July back to the neighborhoods with activities for the whole family. Thirteen County pools, water parks and skate parks will host free events to help residents celebrate the nation’s 232nd birthday.
Residents can enjoy free swimming at all pools and water parks from noon to 4 p.m. Desert Breeze Water Park will be open from noon to 4:30 p.m. Hollywood Skate Park, the County’s only admission-based park near Sahara Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard, will be open for free from noon to 4 p.m and requires signed waivers by a parent or guardian for entry into the skate park. Skate parks at other recreation and community centers also will be in operation during that time. Although Hollywood Skate Park rents helmets, skaters are encouraged to bring their own to make sure they are protected.
