This family-friendly spectacular is back – bigger and better than ever.

Mesquite, NV – Casablanca Resort & Casino will host the annual Mesquite Hot Air Balloon Festival on Friday, Jan. 24th through Sunday, Jan. 26th of 2025. Each morning, more than 35 hot air balloons will rise into the desert skies. Each Friday and Saturday evenings the hot air balloons light up for the very popular Night Glow – Candlestick Show

“Our Hot Air Balloon Festival really needs to be experienced to fully understand how beautiful and popular it’s become,” said Christian Adderson, Assistant General Manager for Mesquite Gaming. “We’ve seen this special weekend grow into one of the most anticipated family outings in Nevada over the years.”

The Mesquite Hot Air Balloon Festival’s morning launches take place at 7:30 a.m. at the Oasis parking lot and the Night Glow – Candlestick Show will be presented on the CasaBlanca Resort and Casino’s southwest parking lot under the resort video marquee sign.
