Halloween in Las Vegas 2024

AUGUST 26, 2024, 03:08 PM GMT+0

Las Vegas knows how to get freaky. Yes, they know how to do that too, but we’re not talking about that, you dirty bird. We’re talking about the kind of freaky that you can only experience when that first autumn breeze rolls in and the smell of pumpkin spice fills the air. That’s right, we’re talking about Halloween in Las Vegas, and nowhere does it like they do. Sin City is where ghouls and goblins of all ages flock to experience unforgettable Halloween parties at the hottest nightclubs, haunted houses that’ll make even the burliest of visitors scream like a baby, and enough treats to fill a king-sized pillowcase.

Scream’d The Musical Parody

For the second year in a row, this hilarious horror movie musical is hitting the stage at the Majestic Repertory Theater, and it is an absolute must-see. The show went a bit viral on TikTok last year with its iconic, early 2000s cover hits and perfectly tongue-in-cheek rendition of the first Scream film. Plus, having all the music be played by a live band with a cast who can belt like no tomorrow doesn’t hurt the vibe. The theater space is small and intimate, making it perfect for creating an immersive experience where the actors can interact with the audience with abandon. The best part of this show is that it is snort-laughingly hilarious with a cast that really knows how to milk a moment for all it’s worth to get the audience rolling. To put it simply, Scream’d is killer. Pun 100% intended.

"For a memorable experience at Majestic, it's wise to secure tickets 2-3 weeks in advance, aiming for seats closer to the stage by arriving 10-15 minutes early. Enjoy a drink from the intimate lobby bar during the show. Shows typically run Thursday through Sunday, featuring engaging musicals and plays. Majestic boasts a unique personality with eclectic decor and local talent. Notably, "Scream’d: An Unauthorized Musical Parady" gained viral attention. With tickets in hand, you'll have a great time with a date or friends at Majestic."

Sin City Halloween Ball

Every club on The Strip throws a Halloween party, but the Sin City Halloween Ball is the Las Vegas Halloween party to rival all parties. Once called the Fetish & Fantasy Ball before its name change, this ultra sexy, high-energy rager has been named one of the Top 10 Events in the World by the Travel Channel, The World’s Wildest Halloween Party by Bizarre Magazine, and one of the Top 5 Events to Attend Before You Die by Maxim Magazine. 

Not only does everyone show up in their most barely-there costumes to dance the night away to multiple DJs, but there are also eye-poppingly erotic acts that include fire performers, shibari demonstrations, the glistening abs of the Aussie Heat dancers, hook suspension acts, and so much more. Their tickets for this unforgettable event at the Virgin Hotels Theater range from top-tier VIP options complete with tables and bottle service to a special discounted local ticket. If this party sounds a little too extreme for you, the same creators also hold an annual Everything 80s Thriller party that’s on the tamer side. 

The Sin City Halloween Ball is on the 26th and the Everything 80s Thriller party is on the 25th.
