Halloween in Las Vegas: The Best Halloween Activities in Las Vegas 2024

It is October once again, and with October comes the return of Las Vegas’s favorite holiday: Halloween. This month, the sin in Sin City stands for “sinister”, and as usual, Las Vegas has something on the table for everyone.

In this year’s Halloween in Las Vegas guide, we’ll dig into the hallowed Halloween experiences that are on the docket for 2024. Whether you’re hunting for 21+ haunts or a PG family-friendly spooktacular time, Las Vegas has options.

Let the Halloween festivities begin!

From escape rooms and haunted houses to one of the best-known costume parties in the country, if you’re in search of more sinful or sinister Halloween activities in Las Vegas, here are three of the best Halloween parties to add to your itinerary:

This Halloween Ball has been coined Las Vegas’ “wildest Halloween Party” and “one of 5 events to attend before you die” by Maxim. Going strong for 27 years, this party offers a variety of DJs and adult performers and typically sees over 5,000 people in attendance.

You must be 21 years of age or older to attend. See the website for dress code requirements.

Immerse yourself in the terrifying interactive shows and haunted houses of the Freakling Bros. Trilogy of Terror. Join a coven of witches in Coven of 13, brave the only R-rated haunted house in the state in Gates of Hell, or explore Castle Vampyre.

Rated the “#1 Scariest Haunt in the country” by USA Today, some of the houses are 17+ (or 13+ with parental supervision required) and require you to sign a waiver and learn a safe word.

Enter the world of not one, but two of your favorite horror movies! The Saw Escape Room was recognized as the “Nation’s Top Escape Room” by USA Today, and they’re bringing back Escape Blair Witch for 2024. “Filled with live actors, immersive sets, and plenty of scares, the Official Saw Escape Room & Escape Blair Witch prides itself on bringing the frights for a full hour of mystery solving.” You can opt for one or dare to tackle both—the choice is yours.

Las Vegas is renowned for its adults-only vibe, but the Las Vegas Halloween party doesn’t end with adult-friendly attractions. If you’re traveling with kids this October, there are lots of spooky family-friendly activities too. Here are six of the most popular kid-friendly ways to celebrate Halloween in Las Vegas:

If you’re in town for Halloween and don’t want your kids to miss out on the traditional trick-or-treating experience, make sure you check out Container Park Las Vegas’ Halloween.
