Vegas is a true example of living the American dream, which is why the Fourth of July is one of the best holiday weekends to visit Las Vegas. Neon and flashing lights make the city dazzle just as much as the fireworks overhead. Pool parties, live music, delicious food, fireworks, and more all await you to help celebrate Independence Day in true American style. Find what to do and what to expect for an amazing 4th of July Weekend in Las Vegas!
If you are ready for the ultimate party weekend to celebrate America and Independence Day, then you’re in the right place. Las Vegas is sure to be celebrating hard this 4th of July Weekend, and well passed through the rest of the season. As with any holiday weekend in Las Vegas, expect it to be a party! This means higher crowds than usual, sometimes higher prices, and always higher fun. These crowds can make lines longer to get into bars and can increase wait times for things like rideshare, so factor that into your planning while heading out for the day or night.
In addition to being prepared for the crowds this holiday weekend, take your health into consideration. Las Vegas can get pretty hot in July, so keep that in mind while packing your bags! Bring sunscreen, cool clothing (especially your bathing suit), sunglasses, hats, and whatever else you may need to protect yourself from the heat and sun. You’ll also want to stay hydrated – those high temperatures and bar visits will require some water.
Las Vegas pools are a must for celebrating the 4th of July. From day to night, the city’s pools will be buzzing all weekend. Pack your star-spangled bathing suit for the ultimate Las Vegas pool party. Circa Stadium Swim® at Circa Las Vegas offers the perfect Independence Day experience with sports, cold drinks, and hot dogs. Don’t miss this year’s new Weenies and Bikinis hot dog eating contest at 5pm, featuring contestants competing for prizes, including $2,500 for the winner! Participation is invite-only, but pool admission includes access to watch this exciting event.
