The lights of Las Vegas shine so bright that it’s the only city in the United States that astronauts can see from space. But when you add in a 4th of July fireworks extravaganza that blankets the entire valley, the destination might just be the brightest city on earth this holiday.

Aside from the spectacular fireworks, there are a few other stand-out reasons why Las Vegas is a great destination for a quick and easy getaway this 4th of July. The city’s world-class shows, concerts, nightclubs, restaurants, and pool parties will be in full swing on the 4th of July, meaning your odds of finding something to do before and after the fireworks are very good. There’s also little to no chance of rain and with more than 150,000 hotel rooms, booking a place to stay is a cinch.

And if you’re wanting to be by the beach, you can do that in Las Vegas too—if you stay at the Mandalay Bay and hit up their sprawling pool complex with 2,700 tons of sand and an actual wave pool. Best of all you can wave an American flag at the Statue of Liberty—the smaller replica that stands in front of the New York, New York Hotel & Casino. However you want to do Vegas this 4th of July, just remember to step outside at 9pm to watch the fireworks light up the sky.

Here’s the full list of where to watch the fireworks throughout Las Vegas:

The Las Vegas fireworks can be seen from just about anywhere on the Strip.

Caesars Palace is keeping its annual tradition as the only fireworks show on the Las Vegas Strip. As ever, the show will start at 8:30 p.m., and fireworks will begin at 9 p.m. from the hotel’s Julius Tower.

Though the fireworks can be seen from almost anywhere outside on the Strip, Caesars Entertainment has curated a few choice locations so you can elevate your view of the show. The resort’s Venus Pool + Lounge is offering a “Night Swim” event from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. where guests can watch the fireworks from reserved pool loungers and cabanas. Across the street at The Cromwell, guests can reserve a a table on the outdoor patio at GIADA restaurant, or go to Drai’s Beachclub, a pool scene turned after-dark hotspot, which will keep the party going after the fireworks show with a special musical set from Wacka Flacka. At the nearby Linq Hotel, another option is to head up to RE:Match Bar, which has an outdoor lounge directly over The Strip.

A more thrilling option for some is to book a ticket during the fireworks show at the High Roller Observation Wheel, which is the largest of its kind in North America and rises 500 feet above Las Vegas.

If you go a little further off the Strip to the Rio Hotel & Casino, you can take in a zoomed-out view of the Strip's fireworks show from the casino's rooftop bar and steakhouse, Voo Doo Steak. An
