Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club - Adam Carolla
2026-12-03 19:30 - 22:00
Thursday, December 3 at 7:30 PM, Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club at the LINQ Promenade brings Adam Carolla to the Las Vegas Strip for a full night of his signature unfiltered, pointed stand-up comedy.
Carolla built one of the most consistently downloaded podcasts in the world on the same instinct that makes him a compelling and entertaining live performer: sharp rants, genuinely candid takes, and comedy that trusts the audience to keep up with him. He has been doing this since long before podcasting existed, and in an intimate room this size, that history shows clearly.

Comedy Cellar
2026-12-03 19:00 - 21:30
Thursday, December 3 at 7 PM at Comedy Cellar Las Vegas — early in the week, the Rio’s 300-seat room is built for exactly this kind of night where the crowd arrives focused and leaves satisfied.
Comedy Cellar’s format is a five-comedian showcase, each comic doing 15–20 minutes of headliner-grade material assembled on a rotating weekly basis. The club finalizes its lineup at the end of each prior week, so it can always book the best-available talent rather than locking in names six months out. Thursday early shows set the tone for the whole weekend ahead.

The Wizard of Oz at Sphere
2026-12-03 11:00 - 13:30
Thursday morning, December 3 at 11:00 AM at Sphere at The Venetian Resort — an early start inside the most advanced entertainment venue in Las Vegas. The 11 AM slot gets you into the Sphere before the afternoon crowds build, and the wraparound 16K screen is just as stunning in the morning as at night.
The Wizard of Oz at Sphere transforms the 1939 film with AI-upscaled visuals, a re-recorded score through 167,000 programmable speakers, and full 4D effects including haptic seats, atmospheric fog, wind, and scent. Ninety floors of Las Vegas Strip energy can wait — spend the morning in Oz.

Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club
2026-12-02 21:30 - 2026-12-03 00:00
December 2 is a Wednesday, and at 9:30 PM, Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club at the LINQ Promenade is the right place to spend your midweek evening right on the Las Vegas Strip.
The two-level room Kimmel designed punches well above its size — comedy this close to the stage lands harder and more directly than it ever does from the back rows of a large theater. Las Vegas has no shortage of spectacle at any time of year, but sometimes you simply want a genuinely funny comedian and a good drink in front of you.

Comedy Cellar
2026-12-02 21:30 - 2026-12-03 00:00
The late show on Wednesday, December 2 — 9:30 PM at Comedy Cellar Las Vegas — is one of the more relaxed but satisfying entries in the weekly schedule at the Rio.
Wednesday night crowds here tend to be smaller and more attentive, which comedians notice and usually respond to. The showcase puts five TV-caliber performers in front of you in a single evening, each doing 15–20 minutes in the kind of intimate room where nothing gets lost in the back row. Mid-week at the Comedy Cellar has its own distinct appeal.

The Wizard of Oz at Sphere
2026-12-02 20:00 - 22:30
Wednesday night, December 2 at 8:00 PM, Sphere at The Venetian Resort lights up for one of the week’s most electric time slots. There’s something about a midweek late show at Sphere that pulls a focused, enthusiastic crowd — people who planned ahead to be there.
The Wizard of Oz at Sphere packs 75 minutes of the 1939 film into a 4D experience with AI-enhanced 16K visuals, a freshly re-recorded orchestral score, and physical effects that include wind, fog, infrasound haptics, and fire. Las Vegas was made for productions this ambitious.

Vicki Barbolak Trailer Park Happy Hour
2026-12-02 19:30 - 22:00
Wednesday, December 2 at 7:30 PM at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club — Vicki Barbolak’s Trailer Park Happy Hour rolls into December with an evening show on the Strip. The holiday-season crowds that fill Las Vegas in December are looking for good nights out, and this is one of the most straightforward good decisions you can make at the Linq this month.
Barbolak’s comedy has been earning devoted Las Vegas audiences since her Comedy Store days; the material is personal, the delivery is practiced, and the room at Jimmy Kimmel’s is exactly the right size and scale for it.

Michael Yo Hot Mess Comedy
2026-12-01 19:30 - 22:00
Tuesday, December 1 at 7:30 PM, Michael Yo opens his December run at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club with a Hot Mess Comedy show right as the holiday season hits the Strip.
Yo describes Hot Mess as a show where nobody — including him — knows exactly what’s coming, and that genuine unpredictability is the engine of it. His years on Chelsea Lately sharpened his instincts for live performance and reading a room, and the result is a set that can go anywhere based on who walked in that night. Personal enough to feel specific, funny enough to land with everyone: Las Vegas December energy adds its own charge to a show already built to keep you on your toes.

Michael Grimm
2026-12-01 19:00 - 21:30
Michael Grimm performs in Las Vegas on Tuesday, December 1, 2026, at Myron’s at The Smith Center in the downtown Symphony Park district. The “America’s Got Talent” Season 5 winner is a Nevada-rooted singer known for a gritty, soulful voice steeped in southern rock, blues and R&B. Myron’s intimate cabaret-style room — with close tables and warm acoustics — is a natural home for the kind of up-close, vocal-driven performance Grimm delivers, and he has become a familiar presence on the venue’s calendar. Since his national breakthrough, he has built a loyal Las Vegas following on the strength of live shows that spotlight both his voice and his easygoing rapport with an audience. For fans of soul and roots music seeking a close-up evening away from the Strip, this downtown date is a warm, personal night out. Get tickets and plan your Las Vegas visit.

Comedy Cellar
2026-12-01 19:00 - 21:30
Tuesday, December 1 at 7 PM — Comedy Cellar Las Vegas at the Rio gets December started with an early weeknight show, and the crowd on a Tuesday at 7 is genuinely there to listen.
The club is a replica of the famous Greenwich Village original, and it runs the same showcase model: five headliner-level comics, back to back, on a rotating weekly schedule. You leave having seen more stage time per dollar than almost anywhere else in Las Vegas. A great way to start a month in one of this city’s best comedy rooms.

Vicki Barbolak Trailer Park Happy Hour
2026-12-01 17:30 - 20:00
Tuesday, December 1 at 5:30 PM — Vicki Barbolak opens December at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club with Trailer Park Happy Hour. The first Tuesday of the holiday season on the Strip is a good moment to check in with one of Las Vegas’s more consistent comedy residencies before the month gets fully busy and the crowds take over every venue.
Her stand-up is conversational and direct, built from genuine personal experience, and the warmth she brings to this room fits the time of year without ever drifting into sentiment — it’s still comedy first.

The Wizard of Oz at Sphere
2026-12-01 17:00 - 19:30
Tuesday, December 1 at 5:00 PM inside Sphere at The Venetian Resort is the first December showing of The Wizard of Oz at Sphere — and the holiday season makes the Emerald City visuals hit differently. The 1939 classic was reimagined as a 4D experience using Google’s AI models to push resolution to 16K across Sphere’s total-immersion screen.
Every scene comes with a sensory layer: haptic seats that vibrate with the tornado, fog rolling through the poppies, and pyrotechnic fire marking the Witch’s appearances. You’ll hear the re-recorded score the way it was never intended to sound until now.

Luenell at Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club
2026-11-30 21:30 - 2026-12-01 00:00
Luenell closes November at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club with the Monday, November 30 show — 9:30 PM at The LINQ Promenade, Las Vegas.
She’s built a residency here by showing up consistently and delivering every time, which sounds simple but is actually the hardest thing a stand-up can do. Luenell’s comedy is anchored in real characters and real stakes — she brings people and situations to life on stage in a way that makes the laughs feel earned and the honesty feel like a gift.

Josh Wolf
2026-11-30 19:30 - 22:00
Monday, November 30 closes out the month at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club with Josh Wolf at 7:30 PM on the Strip.
Wolf is the kind of headliner who makes a long residency feel like a relationship rather than a transaction — you come back because the material is alive and evolving, not frozen in one place. His stand-up draws on his real life, his road career, and his ongoing podcast with son Jacob, so there’s always something fresh in the room. Las Vegas on the last Monday of November gets a set from a comic fully in his element.

Comedy Cellar
2026-11-30 19:00 - 21:30
Monday, November 30 at 7 PM opens December’s run at Comedy Cellar Las Vegas — and the room inside the Rio fills up faster than most Monday-night shows anywhere in Las Vegas have a right to expect.
Five television-headliner-level comedians share one stage, each working a sharpened 15–20 minute set in the club’s signature showcase format. The club’s long-standing reputation for surprise drop-ins means the lineup on any given night can punch well above what’s posted on the bill. Starting December here is a good move.

The Wizard of Oz at Sphere
2026-11-30 17:00 - 19:30
The Monday, November 30 show at 5:00 PM at Sphere at The Venetian Resort marks the start of the December stretch for The Wizard of Oz at Sphere — a production that has been selling out runs all fall. Monday crowds tend to be smaller and more intimate, which makes the sensory details land even harder.
Google AI-enhanced visuals bring the original 1939 footage to 16K across Sphere’s full wraparound screen, while a purpose-built re-recorded score fills the room through 167,000 speakers. Las Vegas doesn’t have a more technologically ambitious entertainment experience on offer right now.

Luenell at Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club
2026-11-29 21:30 - 2026-11-30 00:00
The last Sunday of November is at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club — Luenell on stage November 29 at 9:30 PM at The LINQ.
She wraps out the month in the venue that has become her Las Vegas home base, delivering the kind of set she’s spent decades perfecting: personal, pointed, and packed with the kind of truth that only lands when the comedian telling it has actually lived it. End-of-November Sundays in this city carry a particular energy, and Luenell knows how to match it.

Brad Garrett with Trixx
2026-11-29 20:00 - 22:30
The weekend after Thanksgiving, Brad Garrett with Trixx closes out Sunday, November 29 at 8:00 PM at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club at MGM. The club that Garrett built at the MGM Grand carries his DNA in every detail — big personality, genuine warmth for the audience, and no-fuss, quality stand-up comedy.
Trixx has established a consistent presence in Las Vegas comedy over many years, and pairing that with Garrett’s ownership-level investment in the room makes for a Sunday night that doesn’t feel like a concession prize. Las Vegas comedy weekends don’t all end on Saturday.

Josh Wolf
2026-11-29 19:30 - 22:00
Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club on Sunday, November 29 — Josh Wolf at 7:30 PM, the Sunday after Thanksgiving on the Las Vegas Strip.
Wolf’s observational take on family dynamics is practically required viewing in the days following a holiday weekend, and the audience on a post-Thanksgiving Sunday tends to be primed for every punchline. He’s been making this kind of comedy work for nearly 30 years, and this room is one of the best places in Las Vegas to experience why it holds up so well.

Elf The Musical
2026-11-29 19:30 - 22:00
Sunday, November 29 closes the Las Vegas run of Elf The Musical at Reynolds Hall at The Smith Center with a 7:30 PM final performance. It’s the last curtain for a production that opened Thanksgiving week, and closing-night Sunday audiences often bring a warmth that suits the show’s spirit especially well.
If you haven’t caught the run yet, this is your final chance to see Buddy’s North Pole–to–New York journey live in Las Vegas before the tour moves on. A Sunday closing-night send-off worth adding to the holiday weekend.

Comedy Cellar
2026-11-29 19:00 - 21:30
Sunday, November 29 at 7 PM wraps the Thanksgiving week run at Comedy Cellar Las Vegas — and if the holiday crowd sticks around for one more night, this show tends to be one of the most animated of the stretch.
Comedy Cellar’s rotating five-comic lineup is assembled at the end of each week so only the best-available talent makes the bill. The room holds 300 and sits inside the Rio, but it looks and feels like the original New York basement that made the brand. Sunday night early shows here have a warmth that’s hard to find anywhere else in this city.

The Wizard of Oz at Sphere
2026-11-29 17:00 - 19:30
Sunday, November 29 at 5:00 PM at Sphere at The Venetian Resort is a perfect way to close out the long Thanksgiving weekend in Las Vegas. The Wizard of Oz at Sphere runs 75 minutes of the 1939 film’s most beloved scenes, rebuilt with AI-enhanced visuals for Sphere’s immersive 16K wraparound display.
The sensory package — infrasound haptic seats, high-velocity wind arrays, fog, scent, and towering fire bursts — turns a familiar story into something you experience with your whole body. It’s a genuinely different kind of Sunday show.

Craig Gass
2026-11-28 21:30 - 2026-11-29 00:00
Saturday, November 28th at 9:30 PM, Craig Gass wraps up his Thanksgiving-weekend run at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club on the Strip with a late-night show that keeps the holiday energy going.
Born into a deaf family and trained by television voices, Gass developed an impressionist’s ear that critics and fellow comedians call frighteningly precise — his approach to characters like Adam Sandler, Owen Wilson, or Lars Ulrich is less imitation than full inhabitation. His machine-gun delivery and fall-down storytelling make the late-night hour feel like the right time rather than the wrong one. Las Vegas the Saturday after Thanksgiving is exactly the room and exactly the crowd that this comic was built to command.
