    • 4th of July fireworks at various locations

      Hoping to escape the unrelenting bombast of your drunk neighbors launching roman candles during Independence Day, even just for a couple of hours? Head to any one of the following 4th of July celebrations.

      In the southeast, Henderson moves its annual Independence Day festivities to Heritage Park, which will feature live entertainment and various food/drink vendors ahead of the 18-minute fireworks show (6 p.m., free). Over in Boulder City, the all-day Damboree starts with a parade and ends with the requisite nighttime pyro display at Veterans Memorial Park (9 a.m., free). For those on the opposite side of the Valley, Summerlin will also stage a daytime parade before a nighttime fireworks extravaganza scored by the Las Vegas Philharmonic at TPC Summerlin (5 p.m., $10-$250).

      Station Casinos will also host fireworks-climaxing 4th of July parties for its Boarding Pass members at Green Valley Ranch (6:30 p.m.) and Red Rock Resort (entrance time depends on cardholder status; show at 9 p.m.), and for everyone at Texas Station/Fiesta Rancho (4 p.m., free). And those on Las Vegas Boulevard can enjoy sky-lighting shows at Mandalay Bay Beach (9 p.m., $19) and Stratosphere (8 p.m., free). –Mike Prevatt
