November 2026 in Las Vegas is built around one weekend: the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, November 19 to 21. Around it sit the month's best bookings, from The Book of Mormon's 12-day run at the Venetian to the Eagles' last Sphere nights and LISA's Colosseum residency. Thanksgiving closes the month. Here are the 10 worth building a trip around, in date order.
1. The Book of Mormon at the Venetian, November 4 to 15
The Book of Mormon brings Broadway's nine-time Tony winner to the Venetian Theatre for 12 days and 15 performances. Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who made South Park, wrote it with Robert Lopez, and the jokes are exactly as rude as that sounds. The songs are genuinely great. Our Book of Mormon Las Vegas guide covers run time and ages.
Where: Venetian Theatre, The Venetian Resort, center Strip. Dates: November 4 to 15. Best for: Broadway fans and friend groups with a dark sense of humor.

2. Santana at House of Blues, November 4 to 15
An Intimate Evening with Santana - Greatest Hits Live puts Carlos Santana and his full band in House of Blues at Mandalay Bay for eight shows across the same two weeks. The residency is in its 14th year in this club-sized room. It's close. Smooth, Oye Como Va and Black Magic Woman land differently when you can watch his hands. Part of every ticket goes to the Milagro Foundation, the charity his family started for children.

3. Brad Paisley at Encore Theater, November 6 and 7
Brad Paisley brings One Man Six Strings, his acoustic show, back to Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas for two nights. Paisley wrote 21 of his 25 No. 1 hits, and stripped down to guitars the songwriting is the show: Mud on the Tires, Whiskey Lullaby, When I Get Where I'm Going. Expect quiet. Then the singalong.
Where: Encore Theater, Wynn Las Vegas, north Strip. Dates: Friday, November 6 and Saturday, November 7. Ages: 12 and over. Best for: country fans who came for the songs.
4. Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, November 6 only
Ms. Lauryn Hill & Wyclef Jean reunite at Resorts World Theatre for one night to mark 30 years of The Score, the Fugees album that gave the world Killing Me Softly and Ready or Not. It won the Grammy for Best Rap Album in 1997. This is a celebration of one record by the two people who made it. One night only.

5. PBR championships, November 4 to 8
Professional bull riding crowns two champions in five days. The PBR Challenger Series Championship opens at South Point Arena on November 4 and 5, then the PBR Team Series Championship brings every team in the league to T-Mobile Arena from November 6 to 8. Eight seconds is the whole job. Our guide to both PBR championships explains which one suits your trip.
Where: T-Mobile Arena, center Strip, and South Point Arena, south of the Strip. Dates: November 4 to 8. Best for: rodeo fans and anyone who wants a loud arena night.
6. Lionel Richie at Encore Theater, November 11 to 14
Lionel Richie - King of Hearts returns to the room he has sold out more than 55 times since 2019. Three November nights close his fall run at Encore. Richie has sold more than 125 million albums, and the set is wall-to-wall: Hello, Easy, Stuck on You, All Night Long. Nobody sits for the last one. Our Encore Theater guide has more on the room.
Where: Encore Theater, Wynn Las Vegas, north Strip. Dates: November 11, 13 and 14. Ages: 12 and over. Best for: couples and anyone raised on the Commodores.
7. LISA at the Colosseum, November 12 to 29
LISA brings VIVA LA LISA to the Colosseum at Caesars Palace across two November weekends, the first Las Vegas residency by a K-pop artist. The BLACKPINK star built the show on her solo album, Alter Ego, and its five characters. It's a theater, not a stadium. Our LISA Las Vegas guide walks through the set.
Where: The Colosseum, Caesars Palace, center Strip. Dates: November 12 to 14 and 27 to 29. Best for: K-pop fans and pop fans who want choreography up close.
8. The Eagles at Sphere, November 13 to 28
Eagles at Sphere plays four November nights, and the residency has passed 68 shows, the longest any act has run in the dome. Don Henley has said 2026 is probably the end. Hotel California opens the night. The sound is the reason to choose Sphere. Our Eagles at Sphere guide has the setlist and the run time.
Where: Sphere, behind The Venetian, center Strip. Dates: November 13, 14, 27 and 28. Best for: classic-rock fans and anyone who promised a parent.

9. The Las Vegas Grand Prix, November 19 to 21
The Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix turns 3.8 miles of public road, Las Vegas Boulevard included, into a 17-turn street circuit raced after dark. Thursday is practice, Friday qualifying, Saturday the race. You hear it from blocks away. Our Las Vegas Grand Prix guide covers each night and where to watch in person. The same weekend, Marc Anthony plays BleauLive Theater on November 20 and 21 (see our Marc Anthony residency guide), and Enchant Las Vegas opens its Christmas light maze in Summerlin on the 20th, with our Enchant guide for the details.
Where: Las Vegas Strip Circuit, center Strip. Dates: Thursday, November 19 to Saturday, November 21. Best for: race fans, and anyone who wants to see the Strip closed for something faster than traffic.
10. Thanksgiving weekend: the Jonas Brothers, November 28
Jonas Brothers play MGM Grand Garden Arena once, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, on The Burning Up Tour All Over Again: the first half rebuilds their 2008 tour, the second is the band since the reunion. One night. The same weekend, Taylor Dayne opens her first Las Vegas residency at Harrah's from November 24, and Alice Cooper and Criss Angel return to Planet Hollywood from November 27. Our Jonas Brothers guide and Thanksgiving in Las Vegas have the rest.
Where: MGM Grand Garden Arena, MGM Grand, south Strip. Dates: Saturday, November 28. Best for: families and anyone who had the 2008 poster.
When the answer changes
Comedy fans should look at Kill Tony at Dolby Live on November 13 and 14, where the comics come out of a bucket and no two nights match; our fall comedy guide compares it with Daniel Tosh and Matt Rife. Traveling with kids? The Jonas Brothers and the PBR nights suit families best of the ten. If the dates are flexible, the first two weeks are calmer than race weekend.
The short version
For one November trip to Las Vegas, aim at Grand Prix weekend for the spectacle or the week before it for the music, when Paisley, Richie, LISA and the Eagles overlap. Both work. Race nights close parts of Las Vegas Boulevard to cars, so a show across the Strip takes longer to reach those evenings.
