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.

The “No Kings” protests taking place across the country on Saturday will be peaceful protests against an increasingly authoritarian Trump regime. These protests, now taking place in more than 2,000 sites across the U.S., have been planned for months and are NOT “anti-ICE” protests.

The demonstrations, part of the 50 protests, 50 states movement known as 50501, have been planned by various progressive organizations for weeks, with the left-leaning group Indivisible helping organize the Reno and Carson City gatherings.

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

Crowds gathered in Downtown Las Vegas Saturday evening as part of demonstrations nationwide for the “No Kings” protests against the Trump administration.

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.
