The Valley has 100 new neighbors. Thursday's fourth annual Independence Day ceremony was part of Las Vegas' Celebrate America festivities.

It’s all thanks to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service and the city of Las Vegas.

Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman welcomed the new citizens at City Hall.

"I feel a part of this great country, something that I can't explain it with words. It's real exciting about all that it happened and now, that I can vote now," said new citizen Stella Angelova.

The new American citizens came from 34 countries.
