Free: Fremont Street — Costumes Under The Canopy (Sat Oct 31)

Fremont Street Experience’s free Halloween party, Costumes Under The Canopy, runs Saturday, October 31, 2026, with live entertainment, a silent “spooky” disco, food trucks and a costume contest with $8,500 in total cash prizes ($5,000 first, $2,500 second, $1,000 third). The contest starts at 10 pm on the 3rd Street Stage; contestants must be 21+ and register onsite with a valid ID (check fremontstreetexperience.com for the registration window and full rules). Watching is free; event parking is paid.

New this month: Now You See Me Live

Now You See Me Live is on sale at the MGM Grand Theater (run starts Oct 15, 2026, through Jan 5, 2027), from about $64. Prices change; check the checkout total.

Spooky-season show tickets on sale

As of early October 2026, vegas.com has been running flash / exclusive sales on Halloween-flavored and adult shows (examples: Zombie Burlesque, Shin Lim, ROUGE, Absinthe). Prices move — start at our show deals hub and re-check checkout totals.

Paid haunted / horror attractions

  • Universal Horror Unleashed at AREA15 — paid haunted experience; confirm hours and ticket types for your night (no fake % claimed here).
  • Escape rooms and specialty horror dinners appear seasonally (SAW/Blair Witch-style rooms, haunted brunches) — compare live partner prices.

Hotel tip for Halloween weekend

Saturday Halloween on the Strip sells out earlier than a normal weekend. Compare hotel promotions and all-in totals (room + resort fee + tax) on cheapest Strip rooms.

What not to plan around

  • Do not treat 2023 lineups (old Sphere residencies, “Haunts 2023”, closed venues) as current.
  • Mirage volcano / Secret Garden / LOVE are gone with The Mirage (closed Jul 2024).
