Show Those Skillz
2026-10-16 21:30 - 2026-10-17 00:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Show Those Skillz takes the Friday 9:30 PM late slot at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club on October 16 — a show timed perfectly for the electricity that runs through the Linq Promenade on a full Strip weekend night.
Skillz is a comedian who turns personal insecurities and lived experience into relatable, crowd-driven stand-up, having shared stages with Kevin Hart, Dave Chappelle, and Paul Rodriguez over a long career on the road. A late Friday show here in Las Vegas puts you right in the middle of the city’s most energized and wide-awake stretch of the week.

Jay and Silent Bob return to Las Vegas as Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes bring their live show “Jay & Silent Bob Save Vegas!” to the Palazzo Theatre at the Venetian, on the heart of the Strip, on October 16, 2026. The longtime duo — best known for playing Jay and Silent Bob across eight films — appear as themselves, trading stories about making movies and about their careers and lives in the decades since. It is part stand-up, part candid conversation and part fan celebration, driven by the off-the-cuff chemistry that has made their live appearances a draw for years. The Palazzo Theatre’s comfortable, well-sized room is an ideal setting for the pair’s freewheeling storytelling. For fans of Kevin Smith’s films or just great behind-the-scenes tales, this is a can’t-miss Strip night. Get tickets and plan your Las Vegas visit.

Saturday morning, October 17 at 11:00 AM — the early show at Sphere gives The Wizard of Oz a quiet crowd and the full weight of the room.
This production has been drawing visitors to Las Vegas since August 2025, and the 11:00 AM slot has a specific appeal: you’re inside before the Strip fully powers up, the crowd is smaller, and the sensory effects — haptics, wind, fog, scent — land with more presence in a quieter room. Oscar-winning craft, 16K visuals, re-recorded score. Worth setting an alarm.

Cool Air Comedy Starring Skillz Hudson
2026-10-17 17:30 - 20:00
Cool Air Comedy returns to Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club on Saturday, October 17 at 5:30 PM — Skillz Hudson, the weekly slot, the Strip room, and a crowd looking for a real laugh before the Las Vegas night fully accelerates.
Hudson’s approach to stand-up — grounded in his own life, delivered with genuine physical energy — keeps the show feeling present rather than rehearsed. Four months into the residency, that quality is still fully intact. A good early-evening option on a Saturday in Las Vegas before the rest of the weekend takes over.

Saturday, October 17th at 7:00 PM — Comedy Cellar – Las Vegas serves up an early show on one of the biggest nights of the month.
The early Saturday showcase at the Comedy Cellar is the city’s best comedy hour for the price — five rotating TV headliners in a 300-seat intimate room, each working 15 to 20 minutes of material they’ve sharpened over months of touring. The Rio’s club was designed to replicate the Greenwich Village original’s underground feel, and it does. Go early, laugh hard, then let Las Vegas take over.

Rise Against
2026-10-17 19:00 - 21:30 | Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort, 4321 W Flamingo Rd, Las Vegas, 89103, (866) 752-2236

The Pearl is a theater-scale room known for strong sightlines and a loud, focused crowd, a fitting setting for a Rise Against set. As a single Vegas date, this one draws punk and alternative fans from across the valley for one night. Get tickets and plan your Las Vegas visit.

As a one-night stop in the market, the show slots into a busy mid-October weekend of Vegas concerts. If you prefer a club-scale room over an arena, House of Blues offers the kind of up-close night that suits an emerging headliner. Get tickets and plan your Las Vegas visit.

Saturday, October 17 at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Keith Urban delivers the second night of Live in Las Vegas at 8:00 PM. The BleauLive Theater gives the Australian country superstar a beautifully designed venue that suits his high-intensity approach to live performance.

New Kids On the Block: The Right Stuff Las Vegas Residency
2026-10-17 20:00 - 22:30 | Dolby Live, 3799 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, 89109, (702) 891-1111
The Right Stuff Las Vegas Residency closes on Saturday, October 17 at Dolby Live — 8:00 PM, final show of the fall run.
New Kids On the Block built this Las Vegas production to be a genuine event, not a scaled-down tour stop, and the closing Saturday night at Park MGM is where that ambition lands hardest. Donnie, Joey, Jordan, Jonathan, and Danny on the last night of a residency, in a room built for exactly this — that’s the one.

Tom McTigue
2026-10-17 20:00 - 22:30
Saturday, October 17 closes out Tom McTigue’s week at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club with the busiest show of the run. McTigue has performed for audiences around the world and brings that global road-time experience into every Saturday-night set—confident, flexible, and completely in command of whatever crowd walks through the door at the MGM Grand.
His brand of insanity has held up for over thirty years, which means Las Vegas audiences are getting a headliner who’s still at the top of his game. A strong Saturday-night closer on the Strip.

Chayanne
2026-10-17 20:00 - 22:30
Chayanne lands in Las Vegas on October 17, 2026, bringing his Bailemos Otra Vez Tour to the Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on the south end of the Strip. The Puerto Rican pop and Latin superstar returns to U.S. arenas after years away, and Las Vegas sits mid-tour on a run that began in late August, meaning fans catch a production that has been road-tested and tightened. Expect the dance-driven balladry and stage energy that have carried Chayanne through a decades-long career at the top of Latin pop. The Michelob ULTRA Arena is one of the Strip’s better mid-size rooms, giving this single Vegas date an arena feel without the scale of the largest venues. It is a marquee Latin-music night in the market this October. Get tickets and plan your Las Vegas visit.

The Grammy-winning rock band is joined by special guest Anberlin for the outdoor date, part of the tour named after Switchfoot’s forthcoming studio album. The Bel-Aire Backyard is an open-air poolside setting, giving this show a distinctly Vegas, under-the-desert-sky feel rather than a traditional indoor theater vibe. With two well-known rock names on one bill in an outdoor space, it is one of the more atmospheric October bookings away from the Strip. Get tickets and plan your Las Vegas visit.

Saturday, October 17th at 8:30 PM, Earth, Wind & Fire bring night two of their limited nine-show fall engagement to the Venetian Theatre at the Venetian Resort.
The band’s catalog spans decades of genre-defining grooves — from the funk of September to the lush orchestration of Fantasy — and they bring all of it to the stage with a live band that earns every note. A Saturday night in Las Vegas with EWF on stage at the Venetian is about as reliably great a live music experience as this city offers. The room knows this band, and the band knows how to play this room.

2026-10-17 20:30 - 23:00 | Sphere, 255 Sands Ave, Las Vegas, 89169, (725) 258-6724
The Life Burns Faster residency closes weekend three on Saturday, October 17 at Sphere — 8:30 PM, the setlist entirely its own, nothing shared with the Thursday night that opened the same pair.
Metallica built their reputation by never coasting live. Every show is its own argument for why heavy metal at full volume in the right room is irreplaceable — and Sphere is the best room Las Vegas has ever put in front of this kind of music. Saturday night, week three: a standalone chapter in a 24-show story.

Sunday evening, October 18 at 5:00 PM — a relaxed late-afternoon show at Sphere that makes a strong case for extending the weekend by one more hour.
The Wizard of Oz at Sphere pairs a 16K AI-enhanced film with live sensory effects that make the auditorium physically responsive to the story — haptics in the seats, wind in the air, fog at the sides, scent cues at the right moments. Produced by Jane Rosenthal alongside Sphere Entertainment, Google, and Warner Bros., this is Las Vegas showing what a purpose-built immersive venue can actually do.

Comedy Cellar
2026-10-18 19:00 - 21:30
Sunday, October 18th at 7:00 PM — the Comedy Cellar – Las Vegas closes the week with an early Sunday show at the Rio.
Sunday at 7:00 PM at the Comedy Cellar feels like a reward for making it through the week: an intimate 300-seat showcase room, five TV headliners doing their tightest 20 minutes, and a crowd that’s exactly where it wants to be. The Las Vegas outpost has been holding the Greenwich Village standard since 2018 — close quarters, rotating lineup, no pretense. A Sunday evening well spent.
