Mars is visible most nights of the year. It was one of the planets known and observed by the ancient Greeks and Egyptians (without telescopes or binoculars).
Its only not visible when its orbit and ours makes is appear close to or behind the sun.
Right now, Mars rises in the east just after midnight or so local time. And by December, Mars will rise a few hours after sunset and will be quite bright in the southern sky for most of the night.

Mars will look like an extra star in the constellation of Taurus tonight and you can see it from almost anywhere in the world if you are up at 4:00AM. It will be closer to Earth in winter than it is now. Even then It will not look as big as the Moon; it never does.

You can see Mars most of the time by standing outside and looking up. Doing this at nighttime makes it easier to see Mars . the rest of the time you can see Mars here http://www.mars.com/global/home.html

From the midwest of the U.S. you might get a glimpse of Mars almost due east and low in the sky around 4:00 a.m. The farther east you are the higher it will be in the sky. The farther west you are the lower it will be.
