LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Las Vegas will celebrate America’s 250th birthday with the nation’s largest display of fireworks, according to a new announcement from the LVCVA.

The shows are scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. from various launch points along the Strip and downtown every Saturday from June 6 through July 25.

The collective scale and scope of the weekly, eight-minute synchronized show will make it the largest summer fireworks show in the nation, according to the LVCVA.

“Las Vegas is always a hot ticket for summer travel, and this year, the celebrations will reach new heights,” said Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. “We’re marking America’s 250th anniversary with fireworks lighting up the skyline across eight consecutive Saturdays, alongside everything visitors expect from a city that’s all in, all the time. From A-list entertainment to high-energy pool parties and great all-inclusive deals, it’s shaping into a summer celebration only Las Vegas can deliver. Add it all together, and there’s never been a better time to pack for Vegas.”
