Certainly -- it's an established QoD tradition! At the time of this writing details had not yet been announced about the "America's Party" on the Strip, other than that the theme this year is "The Best is Yet to Come," featuring swing and big band musical elements from yesterday and today and a fireworks display launched from eight hotel rooftops including MGM Grand, Planet Hollywood, Rio, Flamingo, Venetian, TI, Circus Circus, and the Stratosphere. Click here for a printable downloadable map. As soon as more details emerge about this and other factors like what time the Strip will be closed to traffic, where parking's available and so on, we'll post it in Today's News.
In the meantime, here are all the parties and special meals that we know of. Take a deep breath...
