LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — America's 250th anniversary is coming up — and in true Las Vegas style, fireworks have adorned the city's skies every Saturday in June to celebrate.
But due to windy weather conditions, the Strip won't see sparklers overhead tonight.
According to a spokesperson for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), tonight's regularly scheduled fireworks show will be rescheduled for 9 p.m. on Sunday, June 28 after winds exceeding 30 mph were forecasted.
"Launching fireworks in excessive winds could compromise the safety of the crew and spectators. While we're disappointed to postpone tonight's show, safety remains our top priority. We look forward to celebrating with a spectacular fireworks display tomorrow evening." — LVCVA spokesperson
A social media post from Clark County also confirmed that the show would be moved to tomorrow.
These windy conditions aren't just affecting fireworks. The National Weather Service Las Vegas has shared that much of Southern Nevada is under a wind advisory running from 11 a.m. on Saturday through 5 a.m. on Sunday, creating potential hazards for drivers and boaters.
