If you’re in town this week for 4th of July weekend, good news! There’s no shortage of ways to celebrate America’s 250th birthday, on the Strip or off.

Downtown at El Cortez Hotel & Casino, the fun lasts from July 3-5 with a combination of American comfort foods, fan-favorite beers and festive promotions. All weekend long, the property’s Chicago Hot Dog Cart will offer two hot dogs (your choice between traditional or Chicago-style) and a 16-ounce draft beer for $10, while on July 4, the property will offer a free play promotion for Club Cortez members. Guests who earn 1,000 slot base points throughout the day will receive between $10 and $100 in free slot play. And, of course, fireworks viewing is just steps away at the Fremont Street Experience!
Over at Circa Resort & Casino, enjoy the “Welcome to the Weekend” rooftop series, where every Friday (from June 5 through Sept. 4) starting at 4 p.m., you can dance to live DJs, imbibe handcrafted cocktails and enjoy the views, including the 9 p.m. fireworks show hosted by Plaza.

If you’re in the mood for some fun and games (and drinks!), head to Play Playground at Luxor, which has introduced patriotic cocktails for the holiday as part of its “Playmaker’s Pour” monthly cocktail program. From July 3-5, you can enjoy the Firecracker shooter, a mix of tequila, blue Curacao, cranberry, lime juice and simple syrup, finished with a Pop Rocks rim.
