Thursday evening the Vegas Strip was already throbbing to the holiday beat as out-of-towners started to swarm into the desert oasis to hunker down for the 4th of July weekend ahead.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Bureau was quick to note to all within earshot that 292,000 travelers are expected to zip into town over the next three days (the staggering numbers are up by 3.2% from last year).
According to polls, tourists have pinned their hopes on extravagant fireworks displays to blast 'em out of the doldrums, as the economy continues to act sluggishly (in spite of the efforts of politicians on the hill!).
Uh-huh!
Tourists are betting on Las Vegas to deliver up those thrills!
If you haven't book a room yet, last-minute room rates are running at $52 - $352 nightly at Planet Hollywood, the Cosmopolitan, Luxor, and MGM Grand.
By the way, if you manage to roar into town, check out the extravagant spectacular fireworks display which is slated for Caesars Hotel on Sunday evening (July 3rd) at 9:15 p.m.
The Stratosphere is also offering up a pyrotechnic dazzler on the 8th level of the free-standing tower (at Sahara and Las Vegas Boulevard) which will feature $3.00 shots, tasty entree specials, and a round-or-two of Bikini Blackjack!
At sprawling Mandalay Bay Mystic Roots will entertain at 9:00 p.m. with fireworks to follow (Monday, July 4th).
The El Cortez is tossing a down-to-earth soiree keen on a classic car show, sizzling-hot music, and pizza.
Nascar fans will undoubtedly scoop up tickets ($15.00) for the annual "Night of Fire" at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway where they'll be entertained by Nascar-sanctioned stock-car racing , a Jet Car burn, fireworks, and an appearance by Robosaurus (a 40-foot-tall fire-breathing car-crushing robotic dinosaur).
At Rhumbar at the Mirage, there will also be a patio party featuring cocktails like the "Pink Sugar" and the "Sparkling Cosmopolitan".
Luxor will attract big crowds (thirsty-ones, anyway) with their 100 ounce Flagpole Daiquiri consisting of three patriotic-colored components such as Strawberry Daiquiri (red), Pine Colada (white), and Coconut Banana (blue) for $35.00 a pop ($25.00 per refill).
The chicest pool party on Saturday and Sunday will attract the trendy with-it crowd at the Azure Luxury Pool on the strip.
The $15.00 cover includes music and entertainment, exotic cocktails, Kobe Beef Burgers, ribs, and an All-American hot dog favorite.
See 'ya there!
