This year, military men and women will be honored at the Las Vegas 51’s annual fireworks show. 
The 51’s are Sin City’s professional baseball team of the Pacific Coast League (PCL) and they’ll take on Reno Aces the on Thursday and Friday, July 2nd and 3rd.    The 51’s will host back-to-back post-games and  fireworks shows at Cashman Field and the game time for both nights is 7:05 p.m.  
Individual game tickets for the 72-game home season are priced at $9.00 (general admission), $10.00 (reserved), $12.00 (plaza) and $14 (field). The traditional $2.00 discount for Military personnel is offered on plaza, reserved and G.A. seats throughout the season except for the holiday fireworks shows on July 2 & 3 (all seats at $14.00).  
Tickets can be purchased at the Cashman Field box office. The box office is open Monday-Friday from Noon to 4:30 p.m and can also be purchased through Ticketmaster (1-800-745-3000, www.ticketmaster.com). Ticketmaster outlets are located at selected Smith's Food & Drug, Ritmo Latino and the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino. 
The two-day event will also culminate with a benefit concert and silent auction at Red Rock Casino Resort Spa to celebrate the event and to bring awareness of the Veterans Memorial to the public.
At the two holiday firework games, mini-American Flags will be sold for a $1.00 donation to benefit the American Heroes Challenge, which is raising money to build a world-class Veterans Memorial. The 51s organization will also be donating $1.00 for everyone is attendance at the "Fireworks Extravaganza" on Friday, July 3 to the charity.
The American Heroes Challenge is a charitable organization created to pay tribute to members of the military, law enforcement and first responders. The goal is to provide a long-term ongoing charitable vehicle dedicated to funding projects that benefit and honor those who give so selflessly to making our country and communities a safer place.
The American Heroes Challenge, coming in the fall, is a two-day multi-stage firearms and tactics competition designed to test the technical, tactical, and physical capabilities of our nation's armed forces and first responders from all over the country. Twenty teams of four consisting of military, law enforcement, and security professionals will use innovative problem solving methods, teamwork, and their special skill sets to complete tasks in scenarios designed to push the limits of their abilities and determine which team is the best of the best. 
The competition is open to the public. Four stages of the competition will be held at Desert Sportsman Rifle & Pistol Club and two stages at American Shooters on Arville and Spring Mountain. General admission tickets are $20. For more information, please visit americanheroeschallenge.com.  
As its debut project, The American Heroes Challenge is committed to raising at least $1 million for the construction of a world-class Veterans Memorial in Las Vegas. To assist in making the Veterans Memorial a reality, Mayor Oscar Goodman and City Council have graciously donated Huntridge Circle Park to be the home of the Las Vegas Veterans Memorial. The Veterans Memorial project, funded by the American Heroes Challenge, is just the first of many efforts designed to raise charitable contributions to benefit these brave men and women.
