🎸 Your guide to June in Las Vegas

⚽ Kick It at a World Cup Viewing Party

Las Vegas isn't hosting any World Cup matches — Allegiant Stadium couldn't make it work — but the city is leaning into its role as the best place to watch the world's biggest football soccer tournament 👀 Every game over the six-week championship will be on at Circa's Stadium Swim and Sportsbook, starting June 11, which is sure to be a packed house. If Circa feels like too much of a scene, there are plenty of other spots around the valley to find your people and preferred level of chaos.

🗳️ Don’t Sleep on the Primary

Early voting ends this Friday, June 5. If you miss that window, Nevada's primary is Tuesday, June 9. Clark County has a bit of an embarrassing track record when it comes to voter turnout, especially for the primary … so let's not make it a habit. There are some genuinely consequential races on the ballot this year, and your community needs you to weigh in. Find your polling place and see what's on the ballot before you head out.

🇺🇲 Celebrating America’s 250th All Summer Long

The country's 250th birthday isn't until July 4th, but the party is already getting started around the valley. Hoover Dam kicked things off over Memorial Day weekend with a special red, white, and blue light activation, along with the nation’s largest on-display American flag, that continues through July 4. Meanwhile, weekly fireworks take place at alternating locations on the Strip and Downtown, every Saturday, from June 6 to July 25.

🌡️ Your Summer Survival Guide

The first official day of summer is Friday, June 21, but the heat isn't waiting until then. Las Vegas hit 100 degrees for the frist time this year in early May, which means we're already in it. Keep a water bottle surgically attached to your body, never touch your steering wheel without checking it first, and start identifying your favorite free air-conditioned spaces for the next few months. Libraries, casinos, and the mall are your friends. Bookmark Clark County’s cooling stations list for when it gets updated this summer.
