Agua Caliente Casinos to Host 4th of July Fireworks and Drone Show With Veterans Tribute
Agua Caliente Casinos in Rancho Mirage is gearing up for a major Fourth of July celebration featuring both a fireworks display and a drone show in partnership with the City of Rancho Mirage.
As part of the holiday festivities, the casino is also honoring veterans with special giveaways. Veterans who present a valid military ID at any of the three Agua Caliente Casino locations between noon and 9 p.m. on July 4 will receive a commemorative “USA cooler” as a token of appreciation.
In addition, the casino has launched a community initiative called the “All-American Spirit Award,” which invites the public to nominate individuals who exemplify service and community spirit. Nominations can be submitted online with a short video explaining why the nominee deserves recognition. The selected winner will receive a staycation package at Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage.
Tarah Smigun with Agua Caliente Casinos says the celebration is designed to honor military service members while bringing the community together for one of the valley’s largest Independence Day events. The evening will culminate in a coordinated fireworks and drone show set to light up the desert sky.
