EXPLORE VEGAS | | | | | | | Las Vegas Helldorado DaysS 4th St at Fremont St
Las Vegas,
NV

| | | | | Description: Originally, Helldorado Days was developed as a community-building event meant to entice workers to stay in southern Nevada after finishing construction of the Hoover Dam. The plan worked, and the event has now evolved into a charity fundraiser featuring a golf tournament, art auction and show, poker championship, trap shooting contest, trail ride, two rodeos, and additional equine events. The downtown parade filled with colorful floats is a favorite with families, as are the fireworks show and concerts held at Fremont East.
