Labor Day Weekend – September 1-3 2018

Labor Day weekend officially marks the end of summer, and next to Memorial Day and July 4, ranks as one of Las Vegas’ busiest weekends. Nightclub and dayclub prices skyrocket as partying shifts into top gear. If you’re not prepared for the chaos or not ready to spend the cash, you may want to wait for a quieter weekend.

Clubbing Tips for Labor Day Weekend

Partiers looking to skip the lines should plan on spending big bucks on a table or a cabana. As summer comes to a close, nightclubs and dayclubs fill up quick with weekend warriors looking to catch the end of hot days and warm nights. Buying tickets in advance is always recommended for gents that don’t want to combat the crowds.
