Looking for a truly cosmic escape from the Las Vegas heat?
Head up to Lee Canyon for Stars on the Summit on Friday, August 14th, 2026, from 7 PM to 11 PM—a unique stargazing experience held at an elevation of 9,370 feet, where desert heat gives way to crisp, cool mountain air.
A Night Sky Like No Other
In partnership with the Las Vegas Astronomical Society (LVAS), Lee Canyon invites guests to explore the universe from a truly elevated vantage point. This family-friendly evening includes a scenic ride up the Bluebird chairlift to the summit, where LVAS volunteer astronomers will guide guests through an unforgettable journey across the cosmos.
Expect telescopes, astrophotography setups, real-time video displays, and even laser pointers used to highlight stars, constellations, and planetary features.
“At Stars on the Summit, people of all ages can experience the mountain in a new way and develop appreciation for the natural world after dark,” said Johnny DeGeorge, Director of Marketing at Lee Canyon.
