Say Goodbye to Summer: Celebrating Labor Day in Las Vegas

As the heat of summer mellows and Labor Day looms, the city of Las Vegas is getting itself for a weekend like no other. From some of the top bands and concerts to one-of-a-kind pool parties, to comedy that leaves your sides aching for days, Vegas is calling out to those who are ready to take a gamble on a good time. Pack your bags, leave your inhibitions at the door, and get ready to jump into a celebration that only Sin City can offer. If summer must end, then let it end here, in a place where memories are made and what happens stays forever etched in the shadows and lights of the Las Vegas Strip.

Welcome to Vegas, friends. The party’s just getting started.

It’s time to kiss summer goodbye in the most thrilling way possible. If you’re wondering where to be this Labor Day Weekend, there’s one word for you: Vegas, baby! That’s right, Las Vegas is rolling out the red carpet, and here’s your insider scoop…

The Vibe on the Strip: Get Around With Style

Yep, currently our traffic sucks so before we jump into the fun, let’s talk about getting around the Strip. Trust me, you don’t want to be stuck in the F1 Construction traffic when the party’s getting started. The Las Vegas Monorail is your answer to riding in style with seven stations throughout the Strip, and you won’t have to deal with the headache that construction is causing on those who fucked up and took an Uber.
