Las Vegas November 2018

Things To Do in November

• PBR: Las Vegas hosts the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) World Finals at the T-Mobile Arena Nov. 7-11. Watch top competitors go head-to-head with plenty of affiliated concerts, parties and events all over the Strip for country-loving cowboys and cowgirls. You may even catch a few rodeo stars sitting down next to you at the blackjack tables.
• Tours: With outdoor temperatures averaging around 55 degrees, November is an ideal time to hike through Red Rock Canyon, tour the Hoover Dam, rent an ATV, helicopter over the Strip or to the Grand Canyon and/or drive a Ferrari or Lamborghini at one of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s exotic car racing experiences.

Free Things to Do in November

• Walk The Strip: Fall brings pleasant weather for strolling the busy parts of Las Vegas Boulevard, which offers visitors the chance to see sights on the Strip, Fremont Street (Downtown) and everything in between. Be sure to use our interactive Las Vegas Strip Map to help you navigate. Our map provides locations for bars, restaurants and even walk times. Visit art galleries, fountains, outdoor sculptures and boutique clothing stores at CityCenter, which includes the Mandarin Oriental (rebranded as the Waldorf Astoria by November), the Aria, and the Shops at Crystals. Or take a stroll through The Park, which offers outdoor dining, bars and picnic tables near the T-Mobile Arena and the new Park MGM resort.
• First Friday: On the first Friday of every month, a community of artists, musicians and chefs gathers in the Downtown Arts District (near Charleston Boulevard, between Main Street and Casino Center Boulevard) to dance, drink and celebrate their crafts. The event on November 2 starts at 6 p.m., lasting officially until 10 p.m., but attendees frequent nearby bars all hours of the night.

Shows, Events & Concerts in November

“Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life” is one of the fastest-selling residencies in Las Vegas history. Don’t miss your chance to get your tickets before the boy-band’s run officially wraps up in early 2019.

Celine Dion continues her run as one of Vegas’ top pop divas at Caesars Palace.

Rock fans won’t want to miss blink-182 at their residency at the Pearl Theater inside the newly remodeled Palms Hotel and Casino.

Cher resumes her Las Vegas residency on Halloween, but will be performing at the Park Theater throughout November.

CONCERT & EVENT SCHEDULE

Comedy Headliners

Comedy mega-star Amy Schumer drops the mic at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan the first weekend in November.

The Terry Fator Theater at the Mirage is home to national comedy headliners month after month. November is no exception, with performances scheduled for Tim Allen, Daniel Tosh, Ray Romano and David Spade.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 22. As with any long weekend, travelers from across the country flock to Las Vegas to enjoy shopping, dining and nightlife.

Those seeking a grand holiday feast will discover buffets and dinners for any budget, ranging from just under $20 to $150 per person. Menus both on and off the Strip feature Vegas twists on Thanksgiving classics, like Holstein’s turkey burger topped with cranberry relish, stuffing and gravy at the Cosmopolitan. There’s always fantastic seasonal cuisine from celebrity chefs. For example, Giada at The Cromwell is known to serve pumpkin tiramisu.

Thanksgiving is also the perfect opportunity to let loose at some of the city’s more popular nightclubs, when cover prices tend to be lower and you won’t have to shove your way through swarms of party-goers for a cocktail.
