Red, White & Boots at The Rio: Your Ultimate Fourth of July Weekend in Vegas

If you’re looking for a Fourth of July celebration with high-energy country music, poolside parties, and rooftop fireworks, Red, White, & Boots at the Rio Las Vegas is just the place for you! Whether you’re floating with a drink in hand, two-stepping to your favorite tribute artists, or catching fireworks from the best rooftop view in the city, the Rio is where Fourth of July comes alive. After the wildly successful Rio Roundup during the 2024 NFR, the partnership between CLN and the Rio has become a standout combo – bringing together country culture and iconic Vegas energy for events that keep getting bigger and better. Because let’s be honest, no place does it like Vegas!

“The Rio Round-Up was a huge success during the NFR and we wanted to continue that momentum. So we figured, why not throw a country pool party? We’ve got great music, dancing, and just a fun, 100% country vibe.”

Patrick O’Donnell
Cowboy Lifestyle Network CEO

Fireworks, Freedom, & the Sound of Country

The music doesn’t stop all weekend long at Red, White, & Boots – especially if you’re a fan of country legends!

DJ DU will be setting the tone poolside on both Friday and Saturday with his signature blend of country and Top 40 dance tracks. A crowd favorite across the country, he’s known for his genre-mixing sound and high-energy sets, having performed alongside names like Keith Urban, Sam Hunt, and Avicii.

Heating Things up at Night

As the sun sets on July 4th, the night heats up with Bigg Vinny taking the stage—bringing his mix of traditional country and modern flair to the poolside crowd. He’ll be joined by Matt Farris, known for his electric performances and ability to turn any crowd into a party. And of course, you’ll have front-row views of the fireworks lighting up the Vegas sky.

Country Tribute Concert

But Saturday night is where the country nostalgia kicks into full gear – with the Country Tribute Concert at the Rio Event Stage. After DJ DU’s afternoon set, the evening closes out with back-to-back performances from top tribute artists honoring the music of Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney, and Luke Bryan. It’s the ultimate nod to country’s biggest stars, delivered with all the energy and heart of the originals. Don’t miss your chance to sing along to every word.

Left of Centre

For over two decades, Las Vegas’s own Left of Centre has been a powerhouse on the local music scene, seamlessly blending country and rock into a high-energy performance that consistently gets crowds moving. Known for their versatile musicianship, bandmates Frank Garrett and Jerry Tomlinson have held down long-term residencies at iconic Strip venues like Toby Keith’s “I Love This Bar” for a decade and are now a regular fixture at Blake Shelton’s Ole Red. Beyond their electrifying live shows, which often include serving as the backing band for the Country Artists Tribute, Left of Centre has cultivated a dedicated following in both Las Vegas and Reno, proving they’re far more than just a cover band – they’re a cornerstone of the desert’s vibrant entertainment landscape.

Party in Style

Make your night unforgettable by upgrading to a VIP Seating Package. Enjoy premium seats with the best views of the stage for you and two guests, so you won’t miss a single moment. Plus, keep the celebration going with a bucket of cold brews and three specialty cocktails crafted just for the occasion. With dedicated cocktail service right at your seat, you can relax and stay refreshed without ever missing a beat. It’s the perfect way to elevate your experience and party in style!

Lounge in Style at the Ipanema Beach Club

The cabanas at Rio’s Ipanema Beach Club are the ultimate upgrade for your Red, White, & Boots weekend. Nestled in the refreshed tropical pool area, these private retreats feature comfy seating, ceiling fans, TVs, and stocked mini-fridges – perfect for chilling out between the country music and cocktails. Whether you’re hanging with a few friends or bringing a bigger crew (up to 12 people!), you’ll enjoy personalized food and drink service that keeps the good vibes flowing. Honestly, it’s hard to imagine a better way to spend a day by the pool!

Nighttime Swim

Make a splash this Fourth of July at the Rio Las Vegas’s Ipanema Beach Club during the Red, White, & Boots celebration. On July 4th, the pool turns into the ultimate night swim experience, complete with live country music, glowing lights, and a fireworks show that lights up the Vegas sky. Picture yourself floating under the stars, cold drink in hand, as the music kicks up and the sky bursts into color. Whether you’re dancing in your swimsuit or just soaking it all in, this isn’t just a pool party, it’s a one-of-a-kind summer night you’ll never forget.
