I drove all the way from Las Vegas and was excited to watch these balloons fly out! There is ample parking at Casablanca Resort and you can just walk across the street where the balloons are set up at. It was a little chilly so definitely bring a coat and sunglasses since it will be super bright too. BUT... the balloons didn't get to fly up! Unfortunately, weather also plays a big part too in how the balloons go up and sadly, weather did not permit for the hot air balloons to go up. But it was nice because the guy leading the announcement was very professional and allowed the hot air ballon to static or go up for a little bit to show the height and volume of these balloons which was really cool! I loved how educational everything was and how the pilots were showing how things worked and what the actual basket looked like (it's literally like how I saw it in the movies - an ACTUAL basket)! They also have a show at night as well. It was nice to see an event like this and seeing the display of colorful balloons being blown up. If you haven't ever experienced a hot air balloon festival, you definitely have to come! I will be back especially since I didn't get to see the balloons go up this time around. I don't remember seeing food or drinks at this venue so it's good to get something to eat or drink beforehand. There's a gas station nearby though for you to get things.

Parking is $30 per car but we carpool with friends and split the cost. Once we parked we loaded our wagon with blankets, snacks and drinks. Checked in at the tent for our markers and lantern and then walked into the crowds to look for available spots to sit. I recommend bringing a fold up chair next time. It was also hot 100+ degrees so we arrived kinda late, at 7pm and we had just enough time to decorate our lantern before lighting it up and releasing it. Releasing the lantern was special and beautiful. It was like floating stars lighting up the sky. It was magical! There is a 2nd release btw that no one told us about for a fee. You would have to buy a 2nd lantern. Also I read online that there would be fireworks but we did not see any. The event started 2 hours before sundown but it was hot so we arrive right before sundown. I recommend the event admin dim the light post when it's time to release the lantern as the lights was too bright when we wanted to take photos and videos. There were also food trucks along one side which was helpful. Hoping we can do this again next year

The Clark County Fair and Rodeo is a fantastic county fair out in the middle of nowhere…read more You drive from Vegas like you are going towards Salt Lake City which means leaving Nevada for Arizona by way of Mesquite. Just when you are out in the desert, before Mesquite, you turn off toward Logandale and in just a few miles you find parking for the county fair. Once you enter the gates to the fair you feel transported to someplace else. It is green and has shade trees everywhere. Locals are pulling out their camping chairs and claiming their spots underneath a canopy of old trees. It seems like a giant family picnic or reunion. Off to the left is a building hosting artwork, photography, and a ton of crafts. There is a little shop inside with inexpensively priced snacks and drinks. There was a face painter on the way out of that building as you work your way to the large entertainment building with a terrific stage and seating area. We saw illusionists, a hypnotist, bands, and a drumming duo - show after show after show. Then back outside we saw strolling jugglers, a baseball comedy fire show, a one-man band, and many vendors. Beyond the myriads of vendors was a building full of more vendors including one selling amazing fudge. Back up towards the office we saw another stage with a lot of dancers. Then there were some barns and other buildings working our way back around the fairgrounds. Beyond that was the carnival full of great rides and games and vendors from Brown's Amusements. We spent the entire day there and had so much fun. When we told my dad about it, he insisted on going next year. So, we have plans to visit him in Vegas and take him to the 2026 Clark County Fair and Rodeo.

My daughter and I traveled from Canada to Las Vegas specifically for the lantern launch. On October…read more3, 2025, after arriving at the MGM Grand shuttle pickup location, RISE staff informed guests that the Sky Lantern Launch had been cancelled due to weather. Because the lantern launch was the main experience we purchased tickets for, staff instructed us to contact RISE by email to request a refund. Based on this instruction, we did not board the shuttle transportation, did not attend the festival, and our tickets were never scanned or used. I contacted RISE that same day as directed. Over the following months, I sent multiple follow-up emails but received only generic responses asking me to "have patience." After more than five months of repeated follow-ups, RISE finally responded on March 9, 2026--only after another email from me--denying my request and citing a "no refunds" policy. Being told to request a refund, then strung along for months before being denied with no real explanation, is incredibly misleading and reflects extremely poor customer service. This was not a small expense -- we traveled internationally for this event -- and the way this was handled is unacceptable. This was a very expensive and disappointing lesson. I would strongly caution anyone from trusting this event.

In the first part of the day a DJ is performing in a small central booth. Most attendees were vibing, having drinks, and chilling. Once the sun sets everyone does the lantern release which was honestly magical. Then the bands start performing on the main stage. After the last act there is a fireworks show that is probably the most aesthetically pleasing fireworks display I've seen. This is a smaller festival that is not strictly music focused so there was quite a bit of down time in the day in between events. For example, after the first act performed on the main stage the crowd hung out for 30 minutes while the crew swapped out instruments and equipment for the second artist. We paid extra for the first premium level (Gold) which got us access to an area with couches, tents, and tables. This was well worth the price because otherwise there would be nowhere to sit other than the sandy desert. The desert gets quite cold at night and this event is entirely outside with no indoor areas so if you plan to stay for the headliners dress warmly! We drove to and from the festival which I highly recommend. The "venue" is a good 35 minutes outside of Las Vegas even when there's no traffic. To be clear, this event takes place in the middle of the desert where there are no buildings, amenities, towns, or services of any kind other than what the event staff build. There is limited or no cell service in the desert and Uber/Lyft don't serve the venue. The event ended at midnight and I was grateful not to have to wait on a shuttle at the end of a long day.

Even though this event is now in its fourth year, this was my first time attending. The event is held at Knickerbocker Park off the 215 and Hualapai and goes from 6PM - 9:30PM. Fireworks started on time at 9:15PM. This event is gaining in popularity with locals.The parking is crazy! According to the GPS on my phone, I parked 0.6 miles away from the park. It was the closest thing I could find. Plus, it doesn't help that there's really one way in and out of the community. Be prepared for traffic jams. I didn't arrive until around 8:30PM, so I was prepared for a madhouse. Every inch of Knickerbocker was occupied - the place was swarming. A local radio station, 97.1, was at the event as well as a band to provide live tunes. There were a few food trucks there, to include Grouchy John's Coffee and Slidin' Thru. There was even a beer garden, although I didn't get a chance to check that out. The fireworks ran for about 10-15 minutes and were pretty awesome. You could even see fireworks from the Strip and Aliante. However, I was kind of annoyed that they didn't turn the park lights out during the firework show. It made it harder to enjoy the show and take good pictures. When the show ended, 95% of the attendees made a beeline for their cars. I wasn't about to sit in traffic forever, so I opted to chill out with fellow Yelper Carla M. until the traffic died down. FYI, traffic didn't disappear until around 10:30PM. It was smooth sailings from the park at that time. Worth a Return Visit? Stars, Stripes and Sparks is worth checking out for 4th of July festivities. YELP 100 CHALLENGE 2015: #162
