Las Vegas Getting Ready for the Big Fourth of July Blowout

Fun, fireworks and over 300,000 visitors means it will be fun and - ahem, "fun" in Las Vegas.

Fun as in great specials, games, booze, special deals and events as well as a ripping series of fireworks displays.

"Fun" as in a large stretch of Las Vegas Strip being closed to only pedestrian traffic, while more than twice the normal weekend traffic will bring driving to a flat standstill.

My favorite spot to watch the events is the Mon Ami Gabi - if you can land an outdoor table. It has a great views of the traffic on the strip, the Bellagio Fountains, plus a goodly view of fireworks. Also remember - most of the big fireworks shows are happening Sunday evening on the 3rd of July!

Fireworks are scheduled at Caesars Palace, the Stratosphere, Mandalay Bay, Linq Promenade, 

My second favorite spot is Downtown on Fremont Street, where three stages of entertainment make for a rollicking 4th celebration.

In each case, expect massive crowds, parking problems, and snail traffic. Get there early and leave yourself plenty of time to get home.

Enjoy and be safe!
