**What areas will be restricted?** 

Both sides of Las Vegas Boulevard along the parade route, from Flamingo Road to Tropicana Avenue, will be closed for the parade.

Pedestrian bridges on the parade route will be closed during the celebration.

Metro Police originally said all pedestrian bridges in the path of the parade will be closed off to all pedestrians during the celebration. It did not respond to a Las Vegas Sun question about when this closure would start. A later press release does not list a closure of the bridges but states no viewing will be allowed on pedestrian bridges. The Las Vegas Sun has asked for clarification and will update this when and if it is received.
