The Carriage House GazetteRead All About It

While the city of Las Vegas is fun on its own, visitors are also lucky to be a driving distance away from magnificent desert landscapes to explore. With Independence Day on the horizon, guests can plan an unforgettable excursion to see some of the most majestic natural sights the United States has to offer.

As one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon is a must-see for travelers in the American Southwest. It’s recommended to take a day-trip to the West Rim, which is the side closest to the city of Las Vegas. Splendorous views of nature can also be found at Red Rock Canyon, which is less than a half-hour from the city. Whether hiking, climbing, biking, or horseback riding, travelers can get in touch with the desert’s breathtaking wildlife and otherworldly views during their time here.

In the first week of the month, tip your sombrero to Mexico's Independence day on Cinco de Mayo. Indulge in a few margaritas, cervezas, and some outstanding Mexican food. Restaurants everywhere will have specials to celebrate straight through the night.

May 15th through 17th marks EDC, or the Electric Daisy Carnival. Never heard of it? Well, you're in for a rockin' good surprise with three days and nights of outdoor electric music, food, drinks and partying until the 'carnies' come home. Festivities run from dusk until dawn with eight stages hosting electrical performances.

Finally, at the end of the month, wave your American flags for Memorial Day weekend when Las Vegas and the rest of the country honors our fallen military men and women. Many casinos offer discounts for active military and veterans. Expect a Memorial Day parade with great pool parties and DJs.

Festivities kick off on the 4th at the Academy of Country Music Awards Beach Bash at Mandalay Bay Beach. Expect special guests Lady Antebellum, Keith Urban, and others to perform before the awards ceremony on the 5th.

Less than a week later, The Orleans Hotel will host the World’s Largest Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender, April 9th through 12th.

Trade your dancing shoes for hiking boots to take advantage of National Park Week. Starting April 18th, get in free to Red Rock Canyon, Lake Mead Recreational Area, and Death Valley.

Still not satisfied? Stick around for the NFL Draft! For the first time ever, Las Vegas will host the big event, April 23rd through 25th. That’s three days of fun and excitement, free for everyone.

Throughout the month of April, concerts will include Robbie Williams, Kelly Clarkson, Diana Ross, Foreigner, Reggae Rise Up Vegas, Bruno Mars, Bryan Adams, Keith Urban, Lady Gaga and more.
