Amazon's 4th of July sale just went live with deals on grills, coolers, mowers and more
The 4th of July is just a week away. Amazon is heading into the weekend by launching its annual Independence Day sale with enticing offers on everything you need ahead of the summer holiday. Grills, coolers, electric lawn mowers and cooling fans are some of the highlights, but you'll also find thousands of other offers on the latest tech, clothing and home essentials. I've been covering these holiday weekend deals for nearly a decade, so I have the experience to know which early discounts are worth shopping ahead of time and which are worth passing on. Below, you'll find 21 of the best (and my favorite) summer deals from Amazon. Save on gas or pellet grills, smokers and moreWeber Genesis E-335 Natural Gas Grill Not only is this capable Weber grill down to its best price of the year at $300 off, it'll also deliver before the 4th of July.

Traeger Grills Pro 34 Electric Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker This bestselling pellet grill offers extra smoky flavor for ribs, briskets and other savory meats. Amazon is taking 32% off the going rate, dropping it to the best price ever from the retailer. Today's offer is a few dollars less than the Memorial Day price cut from spring and comes within $25 of the all-time low from last July. That's right! This is the best price in nearly a year. Coleman Roadtrip 225 Portable Propane Grill Gas Grill This compact grill can stow away when not in use but unfolds to offer enough grilling space to tackle holiday weekend picnics and summer barbeques. Plus, I love that its portable design can even tag along this fall for tailgates. Save 25% on your choice of two colors.

FrSara Neck Fan If you're searching for some personal cooling, this portable neck fan is a former best-tested pick and a favorite of CNN Underscored's associate editor Elena Matarazzo. It's now dropping under $30 to match the best price of the year. Lasko Portable Utility Fan For those really hot days, all you care about is how much cool air is being blasted in your direction, not how your fan actually looks. This Lasko model leans into the sentiment with a more purpose-built design that delivers up to 289 CFM through three speed settings. Amazon has this one for 21% off thanks to a rare summer discount. Amacool Stroller Fan The Amacool Stroller Fan can wrap around, bend and attach to almost anything, features that earned it a spot as our pick for the best portable fan for families.

Save on lawn mowers, string trimmers and moreEgo Power+ Electric Lawn Mower LM2135SP I've been monitoring electric lawn mower deals all year, and this is easily the best one. At 43% off the usual price tag, this bundle includes our pick for the best electric lawn mower alongside two batteries for an extended runtime. It impressed our experts with its powerful self-propelling operation and is now an even better buy on our review Greenworks 40V 16-Inch Electric Lawn Mower and Blower Bundle If you don't mind ditching the self-propelled features of our best-tested pick, this cordless mower offers much of the same battery-powered design at an even more affordable price tag. Alongside the mower, you're also getting an electric leaf blower to help blast away cut grass and other clippings. Ego Power+ Cordless String Trimmer Kit ST1623T This all-time low offer first popped up over Memorial Day weekend, and now it's back! Amazon takes 31% off this cordless string trimmer and its bundled batteries that combine to offer over an hour's worth of trimming on a single charge. It's a great addition to the tool shed if you're already in the Ego ecosystem or if you're just looking for your first electric tool. Greenworks 80-Volt 21-Inch Electric Lawn Mower The lowest price of the year has arrived on this capable electric mower. It may ditch a self-propelled system, but it makes up for it with extra power for its 21-inch cutting deck to make quick work of cutting longer grass. Greenworks 40V Lawn Care Electric Combo Kit Supplement your electric lawn mower with this string trimmer and leaf blower kit from Greenworks while it's 27% off at Amazon.

It comes in a punchy Wild Vine Red hue that covers Yeti's usual heavy-duty design. Our outdoors, sustainable living and pets editor, Kai Burkhardt, has had his Yeti Tundra for more than five years, using it on camping and road trips frequently. That seal of approval makes its $55 discount even better in my book. Read our review RTIC 20-Can Ultra-Tough Soft Cooler Tote this soft cooler to the beach to sip on chilled sodas all day long. It can hold 20 cans and is seeing a rare Amazon price cut before your first summer trip to the ocean. Igloo 52-Quart Trailmate Wheeled Cooler If you need a wheeled cooler to help with the heavy lifting of bringing ice and drinks to wherever that upcoming summer picnic is, this Igloo is for you. A rare $30 discount brings the 52-quart capacity down to its lowest price of the year, complete with a hardshell design that's built to last. Coleman 65-Quart Portable Wheeled Cooler Coleman's 65-quart cooler features a telescoping handle and wheels to make toting around this leak-resistant beverage holder even easier. It can keep ice for up to five days at a time, making it particularly handy for camping trips or those extra toasty summer days. Igloo 4-Quart Mini Playmate Cooler Igloo's signature Playmate cooler isn't going to be carrying a barbecue's worth of beverages, but it can hold enough ice to keep a few cans chilled this summer. Save 27% with this rare discount at Amazon. Pelican 30-Quart Elite Cooler This hardshell Pelican cooler comes in two patriotic color combos and delivers the durability and functionality you'd expect from a high-end cooler. It has a locking lid and 30-quart capacity to go alongside its over $50 price cut. CNN Underscored's deals experts are constantly shopping for the best discounts on the web. Outside of holiday weekends, we cover weekly guides to the steepest price cuts from specific retailers. These early 4th of July deals are worth a closer look now, considering many are at their lowest prices of the year, even beating previous discounts I've covered. I'm constantly tracking price cuts across multiple online storefronts to ensure the deals are as good as the retailers say. The rest of the deals team and I dive into the price history of each product while cross-referencing reviews and guides from other CNN Underscored editors to determine if it's worth your cash. Quite simply, our goal here at Underscored is to save you money. Our senior deals editor, Rikka Altland, has been doing just that for nearly a decade, and that kind of experience extends to the rest of our deals team. Being an advocate for buyers to ensure we recommend only the best prices on the best products is what we're all about, and that focus comes across in our work.

Las Vegas aims to stem summertime slowdown with deals
(CNN) – So long as you're not made of wax, right now is a great time to visit Las Vegas. Part of this is on Mother Nature; summer temperatures can hit a beastly 115 in the Mojave Desert, a harsh reality that can literally fry an egg on Las Vegas Boulevard and historically has made July and August two of the quietest months of the year in Sin City. You can also thank the bean counters for Las Vegas being much cheaper to visit this summer. In response to recent slowdowns in overall visitation to the city, many overnight and day-trip destinations have rolled out bargain-basement deals on accommodations, parking, admissions and more. Add to these discounts several new attractions, diversions and restaurants around town, and there's certainly no shortage of things to do (indoors, with AC). Hotel deals started at the beginning of June. Downtown's Plaza Hotel & Casino, which starred as Biff Tannen's Pleasure Paradise in 'Back to the Future 2,' was first to the starting line when it unveiled an all-inclusive package that includes a room, two meals a day at participating restaurants and unlimited alcoholic beverages for $125 per person per night. The deal also includes a waived resort fee, which normally is a whopping $44 per night. Closer to the Strip, The Strat Hotel, Casino & Tower rolled out a package with rates of $49 per night on weeknights and $99 per night on weekends. This deal includes taxes and fees, a $25 daily dining credit and free admission to the 106th-floor Observation Deck — an additional savings of up to $36.95. Even casino resorts and attractions on the Las Vegas Strip have gotten in on the act. Resorts World Las Vegas, which comprises the brands Hilton, Conrad and Crockfords, recently unveiled an 'Escape to Summer' package that includes 40% off room rates and a $75 daily resort credit for dining, cocktails and cabanas. Resorts World also suspended its $18 per night parking fee through August 28. This means the property joins Treasure Island, Sahara and Casino Royale as the only casinos that don't charge for parking right now. What's more, Swingers, a popular adults-only indoor mini golf attraction inside Mandalay Bay Resort Casino, is now allowing kids before 6 p.m. daily through August 31. Pricing is $18 for kids under 21 and $30 for grownups; there's also a 'Kids Combo' that includes a round of golf, a kids' meal and a soft drink or juice for $35. Several resorts and other destinations have even unveiled special promotions aimed specifically at locals. Most of these deals are cataloged on Locals Unlocked Las Vegas, a new resource launched earlier in June by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. This page features everything from hotel discounts to deals on admission at local attractions such as the Sphere, Area 15 and the Las Vegas Monorail, to name a few. One hallmark of Las Vegas is that the destination is constantly reinventing itself, and several notable attractions and restaurants have opened in recent weeks. No. 1 on the list: the Hall of Excellence, a museum at Fontainebleau Las Vegas that comprises iconic memorabilia from the sports and entertainment industries over the last 100 years. Many of the items in the collection are on loan from former sports broadcaster Jim Gray and former NFL quarterback Tom Brady. Perhaps the museum's most impressive displays are the dirty jersey in which New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge hit his 62nd home run in 2022, and a heptagonal case with all seven of Brady's championship rings. Another destination that just recently opened to the public: Grand Prix Plaza, the hub of activity during the city's annual Formula One race. Here, a new temporary attraction includes three fan-friendly activities: go-karting that takes riders through garage space and on a section of the actual track; an interactive museum; and race simulators. These activities will be open at Grand Prix Plaza until fall, when F1 officials begin preparing the facility for the third annual Las Vegas Grand Prix, which takes place November 20 to 22 this year. Elsewhere around town, new dining, drinking and partying hotspots have grabbed headlines as well. Venetian Las Vegas recently opened a sushi counter/speakeasy restaurant named Nomikai, and a lively food hall with an outpost of the legendary Florence sandwich shop All'Antico Vinaio. The former serves delicious sushi rolls with the option of freshly grated wasabi; the latter is famous for focaccia sandwiches with fixings such as prosciutto, spicy eggplant, and more. At the Flamingo Las Vegas, a partial overhaul of the pool area resulted in the Go Pool, a new pool area with several spacious cabanas, a thumping DJ booth, and the only swim-up bar on the Las Vegas Strip. The Go pool is free to both hotel guests and members of the public. In the burgeoning Arts District, Doberman Drawing Room, a taxidermy-adorned craft-cocktail bar, opened in May with a strong collection of drinks from mixologist Juyoung Kang. One drink, the Pillow Book, is made with vodka, nigori sake, strawberry, sumac, lemon and egg white. Another, the zero-proof Coffee Cheesecake, is a rich and creamy take on the classic espresso martini with a surprising twist: parmesan. Another recent addition to the Arts District is Bar Boheme, a modern French restaurant and the latest from Chef James Trees. During a break in service earlier this month, Trees boasted that entrepreneurial spirit, creativity and freedom of mind have helped him build a veritable armada of stellar restaurants around town. 'Vegas is never going to stop being Vegas,' he told CNN. 'That means we've got to keep doing what we do.' While the city's creative wheels are clearly turning, there are concerns: fewer people are visiting Las Vegas. The total number of visitors to Las Vegas in March dropped 7.8% compared to March 2024, the third consecutive month that year-over-year numbers have declined, according to statistics released recently by the visitors' bureau. The data also indicates the March decline followed an 11.9% year-over-year drop in February 2025, though the double-digit plunge could be deceiving because Las Vegas hosted the Super Bowl in February 2024, a month that included an extra day due to the leap year. The decline mirrors trends nationally, according to the National Travel and Tourism Office. Overall, tourism stats comparing visitor volume from the first quarter of 2025 to the first quarter of 2024 indicate a drop of 6.9% to 9.7 million, and convention attendance was down 1.6% to 1.8 million. It's not easy to name all the factors driving these trends, but different people have different ideas. For Steve Hill, CEO and President of the city's tourism board, this downturn is in part seasonal, and a likely response to a sagging economy and government policies that have soured travelers from Canada, Mexico and other big feeder countries on the idea of vacationing in the United States. Other experts fear resorts on the Las Vegas Strip are just getting too greedy. Resort fees in Strip hotels now range from $20 to $55 per night, parking can run $20 to $45 per night, and guests are being nickel-and-dimed in other areas, too. At Bellagio Las Vegas, for instance, guests must fork over a $25 surcharge to receive room service orders with the traditional presentation of ceramic plating and metal silverware. Aria Las Vegas made headlines in June when a guest complained of paying $26 for a minibar bottle of water. The result of these fees and prices is a perception that a vacation in Las Vegas is just too expensive, according to local radio personality and social media influencer Heather Collins. 'We [need to] figure out how to make this city not only great for the high rollers of the world, but also for budget-friendly people,' said Collins, a Vegas native whose Instagram account, Raised in Vegas, has 225,000 followers. 'There needs to be a balance of both.' Better times for Las Vegas may be coming sooner rather than later. According to the visitors' bureau, convention bookings for the second half of 2025 and most of 2026 are nearly sold out — a strong showing that undoubtedly will bring more people into town. Big events also are expected to be solid draws. RISE, the world's largest sky lantern festival, takes place in the Jean Dry Lakebed south of town the first weekend of October, and the addition of a three-day music program this year has organizers planning for a huge crowd. Then, of course, there's the Formula One race, which is always a boon for international tourism and likely will have accessible and affordable options for locals, too. Hill described his perspective on the future as 'optimistic.' The slowdown in Sin City is in line with what's going on elsewhere, Hill said. 'When you start to see Las Vegas have a slowdown that is greater than slowdowns in other places, that's when you should pay attention,' he said. 'We're not even close to feeling that right now.'

Amazon Deals of the Day: Upgrade Your Summer Movie Nights With 40% Off a New 50-Inch TV
Amazon sells a wide array of products, with new ones arriving across categories like home essentials, tech gear and wellness items daily. As much as the retail giant loves adding new products, Amazon also loves cutting prices. But deciding which deals are worth grabbing (and which aren't) is a full-time job -- our job, specifically. That's why we scope out the top deals for you. Today, we spotted a 50-inch F50 Insignia TV down to a new record-low price at 40% off. We also found the budget-friendly Anker P20i earbuds for half off, bringing them back to their all time low. And finally, if you're getting your lawn ready, enjoy a new low on the Greenworks 80V cordless dual blade lawn mower. Summer movie nights call for a new TV. A great option is the already affordable Insignia F50. This 50-inch screen offers 4K Ultra HD resolution. It's also backlit which will give you saturated, vibrant colors, top of the line brightness and crystal clear details. It's a streamers dream with access to popular services such as Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu, and more. Of course, it comes with the Amazon Alexa Voice Remote giving you a hands-free experience. This remote even works with other Alexa-smart devices, so you control all your Alexa devices with just one remote. And if you have kids, you'll love the PIN-protected parental controls to help you keep your kids safe. This TV is normally $300 but it's down to a new low of $180 right now, don't miss out. Just about everyone I know, including myself, keeps a pair of wireless Bluetooth earbuds on them at just about all times. From commuting to work to taking calls in public to going to the gym, a good pair of earbuds is a game changer. And that doesn't mean they have to cost you hundreds of dollars. The Soundcore by Anker P20i earbuds are a pretty great option at an even greater price. These earbuds have built-in microphones, which is great for taking calls. There are also over 20 preset equalizers to choose from so you can pick the sound you like best. It runs for a while, too, with 10 hours of battery life per charge, and the case boosts that up to 30 hours. These buds are water-resistant, so it's okay if things get a little sweaty. Usually $40, these earbuds are now half off bringing them back to their all time low of just 20 bucks. If you're still pushing around a heavy, corded lawn mower that really only lets you mow half the lawn comfortably before having to plug it in somewhere else, it's time for an upgrade. A self-propelled, cordless mower is just what you need. The Ego Power Plus cordless electric mower is a great option. It has a pretty powerful cutting torch so you don't have to go over one area multiple times. It runs for 55 minutes per charge, too -- likely enough for you to mow your lawn without needing to re-up on battery. You can adjust the height as well to give you the most comfortable experience. And with precision cutting and LED lights for you to see clearly, you'll be able to have the most perfect lawn possible. This mower is usually $449 but this record low discount drops that down to just $349. With so many deals on Amazon, deciding which ones are worth your money can be difficult. But CNET's combed through what the world's largest online retailer has to offer and gathered the best deals for you to peruse.
