All ages are welcome to the party that will offer music, drink specials, and wrestling presented by Snake Pit Pro Wrestling Academy. Las Vegas showgirls will also be on hand to present the awards to the demolition derby winners at 10 p.m. and available for photo opportunities with guests.
“Demolition derbies produced by Stirrin Dirt Racing at the Core Arena have been immensely popular, selling out each time,” said Jonathan Jossel, Plaza Hotel & Casino CEO. “Its fun for all ages and brings more people to downtown Las Vegas. We are proud that unique events like demolition derbies have found a home at the Plaza’s Core Arena.”

It has also raised more than $1 million for charity through its projects and work with the American Dream Foundation.
