Cinco De Mayo Deals In Las Vegas That'll Have You Celebrating

Cinco de Mayo is one of the largest celebrations of Mexican heritage and culture in the United States. May 5 isn't Mexican independence day, but commemorates Mexico's victory against the French in the 1862 Battle of Puebla.

Cinco de Mayo isn't widely celebrated in Mexico, but it's a reason to enjoy a margarita - or two - on this side of the border.
