Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial kickoff to summer in these parts because our weather allows more fun in the sun than just about anywhere else. By now, spring breaks are over, most high school and college graduation ceremonies have taken place and outdoor enthusiasts already are making plans.
However, it is also the most solemn of American holidays designated to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice defending the nation. While area residents decorate gravesites with American flags and wreaths, and attend somber ceremonies to honor all of these brave men and women, Americans everywhere love to celebrate life and the freedoms granted because of them.

Fleetwood Nicks USA is one of the most authentic tribute bands out there today, performing the timeless music of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks.
The band’s focus is on capturing the true essence of Fleetwood Mac and Nicks in their prime during the ’70s and ’80s — staying true to the original studio recordings that made Fleetwood Mac and Nicks two of the best-selling and most iconic acts in rock history.

Harrah’s Laughlin’s Summer Concert Series begins Memorial Day Weekend, on Saturday, May 25, with beach parties, live music and the Colorado River as the perfect backdrop for fun.
Party-goers can dance and enjoy a different band every Saturday throughout the summer paying tribute to a variety of popular bands. Kicking off the series will be a wild rockin’ performance from Sin City KISS.
