July 4th Fireworks Viewing Party @ The Plaza

Plaza Hotel & Casino will celebrate the Fourth of July with a holiday edition of its free Welcome to the Weekend Friday Fireworks.

The Plaza Hotel & Casino will celebrate the Fourth of July with a bigger and brighter version of its weekly Welcome to the Weekend Friday Firework Show. As in past years, it will be the only Fourth of July fireworks show in downtown Las Vegas, and it is free to view.

Staged from the top of the Plaza’s South Tower on Friday, July 4, at 9:15 pm, the public can watch the fireworks for free from in front of the Plaza on Main Street, which will be closed to vehicular traffic for viewing the fireworks from Carson Avenue to Ogden Avenue. Guests can also watch the fireworks from a free viewing party on the Plaza’s rooftop pool deck. Doors open for the rooftop viewing party at 7 pm.

The Carousel Bar and the rooftop pool will also feature special summertime cocktails. The rooftop fireworks viewing party will feature three specialty cocktails: a margarita with Casamigos Blanco Tequila and Cointreau Orange Liqueur, the “Cruiser & Captain” with Sun Cruiser Iced Tea, vodka, and a shot of Captain Morgan Sweet Chili Lime Rum, and the “You Call It” featuring Captain Morgan Sweet Chili Lime Rum.

Don’t miss the Buffalo wing eating contest at 6 pm at Carousel Bar on July 4th!

Also, on July 4, the Plaza will host a Buffalo wing eating contest at Carousel Bar at 6 pm. Inspired by the popular Buffalo wing-eating competitions in Philadelphia, qualifying “Wing Offs” and the championship “Wing Bowl,” the July 4 contest will be a qualifying event for the Plaza’s main Wing Bowl event on Feb. 7, 2026. The Plaza will award $1,000 to the person who eats the most Buffalo wings in 10 minutes on July 4. The first and second place eaters will qualify for the Plaza’s Wing Bowl in February. Advance registration is encouraged HERE.
