LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) - A large protest has shut down roads in the downtown Las Vegas area Saturday evening. Las Vegas police said in a social media post that Las Vegas Boulevard at Bonneville and Clark Avenues is closed due to the ‘No Kings’ demonstration.

Despite triple digit heat, thousands gathered in Downtown Las Vegas for the nationwide “No Kings” rally against the Trump administration and presidential overreach on Saturday.

Protests across U.S. held on the same day as the Army 250th anniversary parade, and Trump's birthday, in Washington, D.C.

Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley took to social media Saturday to address the planned “No Kings” protest. Mayor Berkley posted on the social media platform X, “An important message for today,” just after 10:30 a.

With large scale protests planned in Southern Nevada, the ACLU is reminding people that the right to demonstrate comes with responsibilities.

The procession, with more than 6,000 soldiers and 128 Army tanks, was one Trump tried to make happen in his first term.

The "No Kings" protests are against President Donald Trump and coincide with a military parade in Washington, D.C. for Trump's 79th birthday.
