LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Looking for something to do this weekend while staying under budget? Channel 13 has you covered with some inexpensive ideas!
Anjali Patel has a rundown of some events you can enjoy with family and friends.
Las Vegas Helldorado Days Parade
The City of Las Vegas' Helldorado Days Parade returns Saturday, May 10, to downtown Las Vegas.

The weather will be warm, but there will be grandstands offering shade at Bridger Avenue. The event will also feature food trucks and giveaways.
City officials say this parade is the longest-running event in Las Vegas. It was started in 1935 by Clyde Zerby, who was looking to capitalize on the dam workers and the visitors that the construction of the Hoover Dam brought to the area.
