Description

In this podcast episode, the Jonathan and Gary discuss the introduction of weekly fireworks shows every Friday night in downtown Las Vegas, starting from May 24th. The idea, initially sparked in 2016 to bring attention to the plaza that was perceived as losing relevance, quickly gained community support. The narrative explores the origins, the decision-making process behind making it a regular event, and the involvement of downtown businesses and the city in amplifying the spectacle. Highlighting the shift from historical to contemporary attractions, the discussion also covers ancillary topics like the evolution of the plaza's fireworks shows, an all-inclusive hotel package, and a segue into the Nevada Preservation Foundation's Home and History event, emphasizing Las Vegas' rich history and ongoing efforts for community engagement and revitalization.
