A poster in Katanga Canyon advertising the Fireworks event.

A large banner at the top of Towers Street also promotes the traditional end-of-season shows.

Fences go up in preparation the week before the event.

One worker studies a plan in front of the lake where the show will take place.

Later, the towers are erected.

The cabin where the show will be controlled from is already on-site.

On the day of the first show, you can see that the StratoSphere projection dome has been erected.

The area designated for disabled guests is assembled.

A closer look at the 60 foot dome.

Next to the dome, one of two Tesla coils is also on-site.

The companies involved in the show are parked next to the lake.

Meanwhile, preparations are ongoing with the show a few hours away.

A launch structure on its side...

...and now upright.

Yet more fireworks - and these are just for the first night!

The show is about to begin, with the moonlit towers as the spectacular backdrop.

The StratoSphere, lit up.

At the end of the show, the lights around the towers stay lit, which is a beautiful sight.
