What to Expect at Park MGM and CityCenter Fireworks
The fireworks will be held above the high-traffic corridors of the south-central Strip, creating a high-energy crowd and an electric festival atmosphere. Public walkways and open casino plazas will continue to fill as the clock gets closer to 9 p.m. A great way to upgrade your experience is by reserving a patio table in advance at a nearby outdoor restaurant.
Heavy congestion will be expected on the main boulevard near the resort, both in traffic and parking, around the time of the fireworks. Spectators should use Las Vegas Monorail, walk from nearby properties or arrange alternative pickup locations (rideshare) to avoid heavy traffic.
