Halloween in Las Vegas: Costumes, Clubs, Where to Go

Halloween in Las Vegas: Costumes, Clubs, Where to Go

Halloween is one of the biggest club weekends on the entire Las Vegas calendar, and in 2024 it works in your favor. October 31st is a Thursday, which means the parties run Thursday through Saturday and beyond, with venues throwing themed nights, costume contests, and special headliners across the whole stretch. If you have ever wanted to do a destination Halloween, this is the year, but it sells out, so plan ahead.

How the Halloween weekend lays out in 2024

  • Thursday, October 31 (Halloween itself): The peak costume night. Nearly every major room throws its biggest themed party. This is the night to be in a real costume.
  • Friday, November 1: The hangover-recovery party night, still costume-friendly and still stacked with talent.
  • Saturday, November 2: The biggest regular club night of the week, with Halloween energy carrying over. Many people wear costumes a third night.

Because the holiday lands midweek, you get a longer runway than a normal weekend, and you can spread a costume night, a recovery night, and a big Saturday across three separate rooms instead of cramming everything into one night. The tradeoff is that the city is also busy, with conventions and a heavy travel crowd layered on top of the holiday, so the early-booking rule matters even more than usual. The groups that have a great Halloween here are the ones who decided their plan a week out, not the ones who tried to figure it out from a hotel lobby at 10pm.

Where to go

  • Drai's at The Cromwell: The hip-hop rooftop throws one of the most reliable Halloween parties in the city, with the Strip lit up behind the stage.
  • OMNIA at Caesars Palace: Big production, big themed night, the kinetic chandelier doing its thing over a costumed crowd.
  • XS at Encore: The marquee EDM room, with a holiday lineup to match.
  • Zouk at Resorts World: Younger crowd, heavy production, a strong themed-night track record.
  • LIV at Fontainebleau: The newest big room, worth a look for a different scene if you have done the others.

Costume rules at the door (read this part)

This is where people get turned away, so pay attention. Las Vegas clubs love costumes, but they still enforce a few hard rules.

  • No masks that fully cover your face. Security needs to match you to your ID, so a full mask comes off at the door. A partial mask or makeup is fine.
  • No real or realistic weapons, including fake guns and large props. Leave the prop sword at the hotel.
  • Costume still has to clear the dress code. Men still need proper footwear, not costume slippers or open sandals, and the usual no athletic wear rule still applies even in costume.
  • Comfort matters. You are on your feet for hours on a packed floor. A costume that looks great and lets you move beats one that wins a photo and then ruins your night.

When in doubt, ask your host. We know exactly what each door will and will not allow on the night, and we would rather flag a costume problem before you leave the room than have you turned away at 11pm.

Book it before it sells out

Halloween is a guaranteed sellout at the top rooms. If you want a table for your group, book bottle service early. A host quotes the real all-in number for the night, places your table, and never adds a booking fee. For what tables run, see our pricing guide.

If you are going the free route, the free guest list still works on Halloween, but the cutoffs are strict and the lines are long because the whole city is out. A real host adds your names, and you absolutely must arrive before the posted cutoff, usually around 10:30 to 11pm, or the list closes. Browse the nightclubs to pick your room, then get your names down early.

Make this your Halloween. Get on a free guest list and arrive before the cutoff, or message a host now and we will lock your costume night before it sells out.

Halloween 2024 is a Thursday, which spreads the party from Thursday through Saturday. It is one of the biggest club weekends of the year and the top rooms sell out, so book tables early and get guest list names in ahead of time.
Drai's, OMNIA, XS, Zouk, and LIV all run major themed Halloween nights. Drai's is the hip-hop pick, XS and OMNIA lean EDM, and Zouk draws a younger production-heavy crowd. Tell your host your music preference and we will route you.
