Where to Watch the Summer Fireworks on the Las Vegas Strip (2026)
If you’re visiting Las Vegas this summer—or you’re a local looking for an excuse to get out on a Saturday night—the Strip is putting on one of its biggest fireworks celebrations in years.
As part of the America250 celebration, fireworks light up the Las Vegas skyline every Saturday from June 6 through July 25. Every show begins at 9:00 p.m., lasts about 8 minutes, and is synchronized to music played on local radio stations.
The grand finale happens on July 4, when nine Strip resorts launch fireworks at the exact same time, creating one of the largest coordinated fireworks displays Las Vegas has ever hosted.
Quick Facts

Fireworks every Saturday from June 6 – July 25
Shows begin promptly at 9:00 p.m.
Listen along on KOMP 92.3 FM, 97.1 The Point, or 98.9 HANK FM
The Sphere joins the celebration with special Exosphere programming throughout June and July.
July 4 features the massive Full Strip Spectacular with synchronized fireworks and Strip-wide lighting effects.

Where the Fireworks Are Launched
The launch locations rotate throughout the summer, so your best viewing spot depends on which Saturday you’re visiting.
Center Strip Shows
June 6 • July 25 • July 4
Fireworks launch from:

Caesars Palace
Treasure Island
The Venetian Resort

Best viewing areas:

Pedestrian bridges near Flamingo Road
Bellagio fountains area
Caesars Palace entrance

Paris Las Vegas pedestrian bridge

This is one of our favorite viewing areas because you’ll have multiple rooftops firing at once without needing to walk very far.

CityCenter & South Strip
June 13 • July 11 • July 4
Fireworks launch from:

MGM Grand
ARIA Resort & Casino
Planet Hollywood

Best viewing areas:

Park MGM plaza
ARIA walkways
Near T-Mobile Arena
The pedestrian bridges along Las Vegas Boulevard

If you’re already planning dinner or a show in this area, it’s an easy place to stay afterward and catch the fireworks.

North Strip
June 27 • July 18 • July 4
Fireworks launch from:

Resorts World
Fontainebleau
The STRAT

Best viewing areas:

Sidewalks between Resorts World and Sahara
North Strip pedestrian areas
Open views looking south toward the resorts

Because this section of the Strip is a little less crowded, you’ll usually have a bit more breathing room than the center Strip.

Downtown Las Vegas
June 20
Fireworks launch from:

The Plaza Hotel & Casino
Binion’s
Fremont Street Experience parking garages

Best viewing areas:

Fremont Street Experience
Main Street
Casino Center Boulevard

If you want the Fremont Street energy with your fireworks, this is the Saturday to go.

Bonus Fireworks
Can’t make one of the Saturday shows?
The Plaza Hotel & Casino typically hosts its “Welcome to the Weekend” fireworks on most Friday nights at 9:10 p.m. during the summer. It’s a fun option if you’re already planning a night downtown.

VLV Tips

Arrive at least 45–60 minutes early if you’re planning to watch from the Strip. Pedestrian bridges fill up quickly.
If you’re driving, expect road closures and heavy traffic immediately after the show.
Bring water—even after sunset, Las Vegas evenings can still be very warm.
Tune your car or portable speaker to one of the official radio stations for the synchronized soundtrack.
July 4 will be by far the busiest night of the summer. If crowds aren’t your thing, one of the other Saturday shows offers a very similar experience with a lot less congestion.

Whether you’re a local or visiting Las Vegas for the weekend, these Saturday night fireworks are one of the easiest free things to do this summer.
