The fireworks show at 9:15 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 30 will usher in the Labor Day weekend and be the last show this summer. Shot from the rooftops of the Plaza\u2019s towers, the fireworks are visible to thousands of tourists and locals downtown as well as for miles beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A headliner on the Las Vegas Strip for over two decades, Murray SawChuck is Magic\u2019s #1 social media influencer and just released his first 1-hour comedy special streaming on TUBI. He is a regular on the History Channel\u2019s Pawn Stars, the CW\u2019s Masters of Illusion, and the Travel Channel\u2019s newest show, Magic Caught on Camera. He\u2019s also been on over 25 reality shows and was a finalist on NBC\u2019s America\u2019s Got Talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Friday, Aug. 30 at 9:15 p.m., SawChuck will \u201cignite\u201d the Plaza\u2019s fireworks by pushing a detonator button on an oversized TNT box. Doors for the free viewing party on the Plaza\u2019s rooftop pool deck open at 7 p.m. This event is open to the public and guests of all ages are invited to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Plaza has enjoyed celebrating the summer with our signature fireworks shows,\u201d said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel &amp; Casino. \u201cThey have brought a new element of excitement and awe to the downtown experience this summer. As we approach the unofficial end of summer with Labor Day weekend, we are excited to have Murray join us to close out our inaugural Welcome to the Weekend Summer Friday Fireworks series. Murray is as iconic to Las Vegas and magic as the Plaza\u2019s fireworks shows are to downtown. It\u2019s a perfect partnership, and we welcome everyone to join us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>**Media wanting to cover the unveiling event should RSVP to <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"mailto:Amy@TWGPR.com\"><strong><em>Amy@TWGPR.com<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Plaza Hotel &amp; Casino <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, the Plaza Hotel &amp; Casino combines a vintage Rat Pack attitude with modern styling and personal customer service for the ultimate Vegas experience.
