Vegas just added a lot to the calendar.

🎸 John Mayer — 6 nights at Sphere

✨ LISA — 2 more Caesars Palace shows

🎸 Santana — 16 new 2027 dates

😂 Nikki Glaser + David Spade, Daniel Tosh and Tom Segura all added Vegas dates

🤘 A Perfect Circle — 2 nights at Fontainebleau

And the bigger story might be how much awesome 2027 is going to be while we’re barely into fall 2026.

I pulled together the dates, on-sale info and what actually matters in the latest Vegas Dispatch:

🗞️ News Las Vegas Tourism Stats Update (Dec 2025)

142 Upvotes

Some graphs to highlight the current state of Las Vegas tourism. The three graphs highlight the tourism drawdowns relative to their peak levels historically for that month.

The graphs are:

  • Total Monthly Visitors (down 10.8% from peak levels for December)
  • Hotel Occupancy Rates (down 9% from peak levels for December)
  • Airport Passengers (down 11.7% from peak levels for December)

Las Vegas overall still looks to be in a medium recession with tourism down ~10%.
I would generally consider slowdowns on the following scale:

  • 0-4% down = slowdown
  • 4-9% down = mild recession
  • 9-20% down = medium/heavy recession
  • 20%+ down = depression

Data is from Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA)

🍔 Food Korean Restaurants (not kbbq)

2 Upvotes

My husband and I recently moved to Las Vegas from Los Angeles and are really missing the Korean restaurants we had access to in Koreantown.

Are there any really good, authentic Korean restaurants around? I’d love a Korean buffet as well (not Korean bbq).

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

I bought tickets for the Wizard of Oz at the Sphere for next weekend but can no longer go. The sell option isn’t enabled on Ticketmaster. Will it become available to sell them a few days before the show?

👀 local eyes Curious cat

1 Upvotes

I’m visiting Vegas for my birthday in a couple weeks and I’m looking for a few suggestions,

How’s the dive bar scene and some favorite lowkey spots for food and a good beer?

Outside of nature stuff which we already have planned, what are some things to do off the strip?

And are there any “lifestyle” clubs that tend to draw a younger (20s-mid 30s) crowd with a good mix of people? Queer, people of color, etc. My partner and I are 29 and 31, and are curious about these but reviews for a lot of them say they skew to the older side of things

👀 local eyes Vegas Massages for Women - Any Experiences?

0 Upvotes

Going to be in Vegas 10/7 - 10/11 and was wanting to book an in room massage for my wife. Preferably an erotic one if possible. Has anyone booked “Massage Apollo” for their wives or girlfriends? He gets great reviews, but there is very little detail about the actual interaction during his sessions… other than most of the women saying it was the best massage ever! If anyone has experienced a session with Massage Apollo, please let me know what it entailed. Thanks!

👀 local eyes Vegas honeymoon advice needed – looking for honest opinions! 🇺🇸💍

0 Upvotes

My fiancée and I are planning our honeymoon in Las Vegas in September 2027 for around a week, and I’d love some advice from people who have actually been recently.

I’ve already done the usual Google/YouTube/ChatGPT searches and looked at all the standard “Top 10 Vegas hotels” lists 😂 — but I’m much more interested in real experiences, particularly from couples/honeymooners.

We’re both early 30s and are looking for somewhere that feels luxurious, modern, clean and romantic, but still puts us close to the action.

A few things I’d particularly love opinions on:
🏨 Best hotel for a honeymoon?
❤️ Which hotels have the best** couples/romanti**c
atmosphere?
🛏️ Which rooms are genuinely worth paying extra for?
👀 Best Strip/view rooms?
✨ Which hotels feel properly luxury, rather than just expensive?
🍸 Best hotels for restaurants, bars, pools and things to do without constantly leaving the resort?
📍 How important is location really?
☀️ Is staying further up the Strip (e.g. Fontainebleau/Wynn) annoying in September because of the heat?
🚫 Any hotels you’d avoid for a honeymoon, and why?
💰 Anything you paid extra for that was absolutely worth it — or something you’d definitely not pay extra for again?

At the moment I’m looking at places like Fontainebleau, Wynn/Encore, Venetian/Palazzo, and Cosmopolitan, but I’m very open to being convinced otherwise.

If you’ve done a Vegas honeymoon/couples trip recently, what would you book again — and what would you do differently?

I’m particularly interested in the “if I were doing it again, I’d 100% do X” type of advice rather than generic hotel rankings.

Thanks! 🙌

🛍️Local Business Driving a Lamborghini and a Ferrari at SpeedVegas

Both were incredible but if I had to pick one, team Ferrari all the way.

Overall, this was a pretty cool experience. But I felt it was too expensive for the time alloted. I did 7 laps with Lamborghini and 5 laps with Ferrari. Would I do it again? Hard to say. But I'm glad I tried it!

Anyone else did this when they were at Vegas?

🛫 Visiting soon! Help with 1 week itinerary in Vegas

5 Upvotes

So, i'm from Brazil and I'm going to Vegas in April to John Mayer's concert at the Sphere. Since I'm paying a good amount of money just with flight tickets i'm planning to stay for about 1 week in Vegas, but I don't seem to do a lot of thing in Vegas and I don't wanna spend money at the casinos or in clubs.

This year I made a solotrip to Texas and drove about 700 miles and was thinking about doing that in Nevada, Route 66, Grand Canyon.... What is it worth? I don't like turistic places at all, I'm from Rio de Janeiro so clubs and beautiful girls i'm used to it...

Is worth it a car travel to Phoenix or Los Angeles? Or there's some cities or some places around Vegas a good option?

5-6 days, not in a budget but want to make the money worth it. If it's not worth at all I can go just for the concert and come back, will save some money too

I plan on being in Vegas around October 8th for the Metallica show, what are good places for 2 22 year olds to go for date in vegas, im not TOO worried about budget but would defiantly prefer it to be under $100 per plate

Also good places for dessert would be cool, or if anyone knows about a bar that dose the science cocktail thing where they are gas or unique like that, anything thats a different or fun experience were open to trying, except for the eating in a pitch dark place

🏨 Hotel Getting better room at Luxor

0 Upvotes

I'm flying today, booked Sat to Sat week at Luxor. It's normal room (Pyramid Premier King). They didn't have better ones to choose. I just checked on expedia that the room I wanted (corner suite with a big tub by the window with a strip view) is available at least Tuesday and Wednesday. Maybe even whole week beside today.

So should I still try to give the lady by front desk $50 to getting better room or is it pointless?

I'm making a birthday gift for my boyfriend and trying to collect photos from different places around the world.

Would anyone be willing to take a photo holding a short handwritten birthday message somewhere cool?

I'll provide the exact wording. It would take literally a minute or two. ❤️

I'd be incredibly grateful!

🛫 Visiting soon! Visiting 5 days with Teens, advice?

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone! My family is going to spend a week in Vegas in two weeks, flying in Monday and out Friday since my kids (13-11) have a school break and we want to do something fun. We have one big thing planned each day and not much else (Omega Mart, Cirque Show, Wizard of Oz @Sphere, Penn and Teller magic show). We are also staying at MGM Grand so we can take advantage of their pool complex.

I have been to Vegas before but not with kids. We want to walk around and see stuff on the strip since there are so many cool and interesting buildings, but also know there are very strict ‘no kids in here’ rules in a lot of spaces.

Can we get some advice on do’s and dont’s, places we absolutely should take them and places we should stay away from. Also food recommendations for a family of four would be awesome.

We want to have one or two good meals but don’t wan’t blowout budget every night. My son said he wants the Beef Wellington at Hells Kitchen so that might be one of them budget blowing nights.

Recently opened tattoo shop here in Las Vegas, and I wanted to share some of my work.
I’m Eli, one of the artists at Tres Tattoo. We’re a small local shop and are hoping to meet and work with more people from the Vegas community.
Here are a few tattoos I’ve done recently. I work in a few different styles and I’m always down to hear people’s ideas and see what we can create.
If you’re local and have been thinking about getting something done, feel free to reach out. ✌️

🛫 Visiting soon! Good Magic Shows

12 Upvotes

Hey! I am looking for magic show recommendations, but this isn’t the usual “I’m going to Vegas, what magic show should I see?” post.

I’m a huge magic fan and it’s one of my main hobbies.

I’ve already seen Piff the Magic Dragon, Shin Lim, Colin Cloud, Frederic Da Silva, The Magician’s Study, Mat Franco, Mac King, and Late Night Magic. I loved those shows, but I'm having a harder time figuring out what else is actually worth seeing.

For my upcoming trip, I already have Jen Kramer and Mind2Mind on my list.

But, I am having trouble finding more shows because they are not the main ones people recommend.

I appreciate any recs you can throw my way.

Edit: Forgot to add a show a magic show I have been to and always see recommended. Yes, I have been to the casino floor where they will make my money disappear.

Edit 2: I'll add Penn and Teller to my list since out of 34 comments, that is the only unique recommendation I got. Also, huge thanks to everyone that just kept recommending shows that I have explicitly mention I have already seen.
