Las Vegas resort to celebrate summer weekends in downtown area

LAS VEGA (KLAS) – Weekends in Las Vegas just got even more exciting now that a downtown Las Vegas resort has announced weekly fireworks shows.

Inspired by the fireworks shows at Disneyland, the Plaza Hotel and Casino will celebrate the start of each weekend with its “Welcome to the Weekend Summer Friday Fireworks” show starting on May 24.

Each Friday night through Aug. 30 tourists and locals alike will get the opportunity to enjoy the sights in the sky at 9:15 p.m. as part of a festive summer block party atmosphere at the property’s Carousel Bar.

“The Plaza is known for its great fireworks on New Year’s Eve and July 4th, but who says fireworks are only for those holidays?” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino. “This summer, we wanted to celebrate and give a gift to everyone downtown by sharing the excitement and fun of our fireworks shows with them every Friday night.”
