Halloween weekend in Las Vegas, sorted by who you are: carnival lights for families, haunted houses after dark, and headliners in the big rooms. Every pick verified from official sources.
The short answer
Halloween weekend in Las Vegas runs three days and three ways: pumpkin patches and carnival lights for families by day, haunted houses for scare-seekers after dark, and headliners in the big rooms at night. Every pick is verified from official sources, so pick your lane, dress up, and get out there.
Halloween is here, and Las Vegas does it big. The whole valley dresses up for it, from neighborhood pumpkin lots to the big showroom marquees, and the weekend stacks up so full that the hard part is picking your lane.
So this guide is split the way the weekend actually splits: families get the daytime picks, scare-seekers get what happens after dark, and the headliner crowds get the big rooms at night. Whatever kind of Halloween you celebrate, there is a version of it here.
One note before you head out: every listing below is verified from official sources, and details change fast, so confirm times and tickets on the venue's own site before you go.
