Volunteers needed to assist at the Family Friendly event 

Mesquite Gaming, owner of Casablanca Resort and Virgin River Hotel, will host the  annual Mesquite Hot Air Balloon Festival Friday, Jan. 28 through Sunday, Jan. 30. Each morning, more  than 35 hot air balloons will rise into the desert skies. Each evening the hot air balloons will launch for  the very popular Night Glow – Candlestick Show. 

“The Mesquite Hot Air Balloon Festival is back as one of the most beautiful and fun events in Mesquite  each year,” said Christian Adderson, Assistant General Manager for Mesquite Gaming. “Volunteers have  the unique opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at balloon piloting and participate in what will  be the largest Mesquite Hot Air Balloon Festival yet.”  

Volunteers are essential to the successful operation of the event and are needed for all three days of the  festival. Shifts can be booked for either Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
