Christmas in Las Vegas
December 23-27Christmas on the Strip is a quieter Las Vegas than most people picture. The resorts go all in on the decorating, the lobbies and conservatories fill up with families taking photographs, and for about two days the crowds genuinely thin out.
Christmas Day is a Friday in 2026, so the holiday runs five days. The 24th and the 25th are the quiet ones and the listings show it. Below is what has dates across the window, updated regularly.
Plenty of families spend Christmas here on purpose, and the resorts make a real occasion of the decorating. The 24th and the 25th are the quiet dates in this window, but the FRIENDS Experience at MGM Grand, Iron Mike Legacy at the Flamingo and the PanIQ, SAW and Escape IT escape rooms stay open straight through. From the 26th it picks up quickly: the Backstreet Boys play Sphere on the 26th and 27th, and the Raiders are home at Allegiant Stadium on the 27th.
