Pepper and The Movement
2026-08-20 20:00 - 22:30
Pepper in Las Vegas headlines a poolside reggae-rock night at Bel-Aire Backyard, the outdoor venue at Durango Casino & Resort in the southwest valley, on August 20, 2026. The Hawaii-rooted band brings its blend of reggae, rock and alternative sound to town as part of the High Tide Summer Tour, sharing the bill with The Movement and special guest Joe Samba. The Movement, formed in 2003, has become a fixture of the alternative-reggae scene with hundreds of millions of streams behind them, so this pairing stacks the lineup for fans of laid-back, sun-soaked grooves. Bel-Aire Backyard’s open-air setting off the Strip makes for a relaxed summer-evening show away from the crowds, an easy draw for locals in Summerlin and the surrounding area as well as visitors looking for something different. Doors and set times run into the evening, so plan to settle in for a full night of reggae rock under the desert sky. Get tickets and plan your Las Vegas visit.

Drew Thomas
2026-08-20 20:00 - 22:30
Thursday, August 20 puts Drew Thomas at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club for the run-up to the big-crowd weekend. His quick wit and polished delivery handle the shifting energy of a Thursday crowd well—he keeps the room with him through pure stage command and material that’s relatable enough to land across the whole house.
Thomas has made a career of examining the comic gap between who we are and who we claim to be, and the MGM Grand showroom gives him plenty of room to explore it. One night before the Strip kicks into high gear.

Backstreet Boys: Into The Millennium
2026-08-20 20:00 - 22:30 | Sphere, 255 Sands Ave, Las Vegas, 89169, (725) 258-6724
Into the Millennium opens its sixth week at Sphere on Thursday, August 20. The Backstreet Boys’ residency has been expanding since it launched, which tells you everything about the response — over 575,000 fans through the doors in Las Vegas and counting, with more shows added due to demand.
The group’s precision harmonies and choreography translate especially well in Sphere’s wraparound environment, where the production is calibrated to every corner of the room; Thursday night gives you that experience with a crowd that came specifically to be there.

Backstreet Boys
2026-08-20 20:00 - 22:30
Thursday, August 20 brings the Backstreet Boys back to Sphere at The Venetian Resort for the sixth week of their summer Las Vegas run. A Thursday midweek show draws a tighter, more focused crowd — people who made a specific plan to be at Sphere on this particular night — and the Into the Millennium production rewards that kind of deliberate attention.
The five-man vocal group brings three decades of performance instinct to a stage that gives it all a completely new visual context; the sixth week of a residency this strong has a momentum all its own.

2026-08-20 19:30 - 22:00 | The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, 3570 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, 89109, (866) 227-5938
Thursday, August 20 at 7:30 PM, The Encore Shows Las Vegas Residency continues at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace — Rod Stewart midweek on the Strip is its own kind of event.
Stewart announced additional performances for the fall leg after demand made it clear the residency wasn’t finished. His blend of rock, pop, and swing across a setlist built from one of music’s deepest catalogs makes the Colosseum show feel alive in a way that’s hard to replicate on tour. The Thursday-night crowd at Caesars tends to be all-in from the first song.

Jay Reid
2026-08-20 19:30 - 22:00
Comedy & Cocktails with Jay Reid lands at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club on Thursday, August 20 at 7:30 PM — the third Thursday of August, the Strip residency running without interruption through the full summer stretch.
Reid is the creator and host of this show, which means he has a personal investment in keeping it sharp every week rather than letting it settle into routine. His TV background gives his stage presence a polish that doesn’t sacrifice the live quality Las Vegas audiences can feel in the room — real stand-up from a comedian who respects the format he built.

James Harrington and Marina Liani are the FISM Gold Medal-winning mentalist couple who earned their World Champion title in 2025 and brought the full show to Las Vegas. Their act is built on isolation and precision: one opening ritual, then separate ends of the Azul lounge, Marina blindfolded, and then 75 minutes of thought-reading in one of the most intimate rooms on the Strip. The pre-show cocktail and close-up magic hour starts at 6 PM.

2026-08-19 21:30 - 2026-08-20 00:00
Wednesday August 19 at 9:30 PM at Comedy Cellar Las Vegas at the Rio: five rotating headliners work through the late midweek showcase in the underground room, each doing a proper set in a 300-seat space that keeps every seat close to the action. That is the whole model, and it works the same on a Wednesday as it does on a Saturday.
The Comedy Cellar assembles its weekly rotating lineup fresh for each set of shows, drawing from a network of serious working comedians and announcing the bill close to showtime. Five comics, 15 to 20 minutes each, 90 minutes of adults-only stand-up. Late Wednesday in Las Vegas in August is a good night to let the Comedy Cellar make the decision for you.

Carlos Mencia
2026-08-19 21:30 - 2026-08-20 00:00
Wednesday, August 19 at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club is a 9:30 PM late-summer Mencia show with the full residency experience. He is one of the few comedians Las Vegas has genuinely embraced as a permanent presence — his Best of Las Vegas award from this club is the clearest evidence of that.
His sets blend rapid-fire cultural observations with personal perspective, and his rapport with a crowd that’s made the trip to the Strip specifically to see him gives every show a different texture.

The Wizard of Oz at Sphere
2026-08-19 20:00 - 22:30 | Sphere, 255 Sands Ave, Las Vegas, 89169, (725) 258-6724

Inside Sphere, the 1939 film plays at 16K across 160,000 square feet of wraparound screen, with live pyrotechnics, atmospheric fog, infrasound haptic seats, and over 1,800 AI-generated visual elements expanding every original frame.

Drew Thomas
2026-08-19 20:00 - 22:30
Wednesday, August 19 at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club in the MGM Grand, Drew Thomas hits the midpoint of his week and the crowd starts to build. His stand-up—smart contrasts between how different kinds of people see the same experiences—is the kind of material that finds new angles every night when he starts working with the actual audience in front of him.
The MGM intimate showroom setting amplifies his direct, conversational style. A solid Wednesday night pick on the Las Vegas Strip.

Ella Red
2026-08-19 19:30 - 22:00 | B Side at House of Blues Las Vegas, 3950 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, 89119, (702) 632-7600
Ella Red comes to Las Vegas for an intimate alt-pop set at B Side, the smaller room inside House of Blues at Mandalay Bay on the south Strip, on August 19, 2026. Still in her early twenties, Ella Red is a rising singer-songwriter behind the debut album “IT’S NOT REAL,” a record that pairs a strong vocal range with a wry, existential streak across tracks like “Religion,” “Party Animal” and “We’re All Going to Die.” She’s built a following through viral singles and touring alongside acts like LOLO and Ellise, and B Side’s tight, club-sized layout is a fitting match for an artist on the way up — close enough to catch every lyric. For fans of newer alt-pop looking for a lower-key alternative to the big arenas, this is a chance to see a fast-rising name before the rooms get bigger. The show sits inside one of the Strip’s best-known live-music complexes, making it easy to fold into a broader Mandalay Bay night. Get tickets and plan your Las Vegas visit.

The comedian who coined “Trailer Nasty” brings her signature blend of self-aware, working-class storytelling to two nights in a row this week. Her ability to turn domestic specifics — marriages, kids, trailer park culture — into broadly relatable stand-up is what made Las Vegas audiences take to her immediately and what keeps them coming back. Wednesday nights at The LINQ are her kind of crowd.

Mind2Mind - Mentalist Duo
2026-08-19 19:00 - 21:30 | Fontainebleau Las Vegas, 2777 South Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, 89015
Wednesday, August 19 at 7:00 PM at Azul inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Mind2Mind performs their Mentalist Duo residency for the mid-week crowd who found something better than the casino floor.
James and Marina are 2025 FISM Gold Medalists who came to Las Vegas with an act honed through international residencies and multiple Got Talent appearances. In Azul’s intimate lounge, their “Second Sight” technique gets room to breathe — Marina blindfolded on one end, the audience on the other, and a 75-minute show that never rushes the reveals. Wednesdays here have their own appeal.

Tuesday August 18 at 9:30 PM at Comedy Cellar Las Vegas: the late show at the Rio is 18 and up, adults-only, and the five rotating headliners on this week’s bill work that freedom fully. The underground room at the Rio keeps the audience close to the stage, and late Tuesday in August brings a crowd that came for exactly this.
Five headliner-level comics, back to back, each doing 15 to 20 minutes of their own material in the 300-seat intimate room modeled on the original Greenwich Village Comedy Cellar. The rotating lineup is assembled and announced fresh for this week. Tuesday August 18 at 9:30 PM in Las Vegas: the Comedy Cellar delivers on the late promise.

Las Vegas does not do half measures, and neither does this show.

2026-08-18 20:00 - 22:30
Tuesday, August 18 at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club, Drew Thomas continues his week-long Las Vegas run inside the MGM Grand.

Audiences in the Strip club know Thomas as someone who actually looks at you, frequently calling out the crowd’s wardrobe choices to spectacular effect. A Tuesday night that moves fast.

Tuesday, August 18 at 7:30 PM, Michael Yo is back at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club with his Hot Mess Comedy show — the August residency in full swing on the Strip.
Built around real personal stories and a stage persona that’s equal parts self-deprecating and wildly confident, Yo’s show is the kind where you leave quoting lines to your friends. His “half-Black brother with a Korean mother” frame gives him a perspective on American life that hits differently live than it does anywhere else.

Their 75-minute show is built on psychological connection and technique — Marina goes blindfolded to one side of the intimate Azul lounge and reads the crowd with a specificity that the audience keeps waiting to pick apart. They never do.

Frankie Moreno
2026-08-18 19:00 - 21:30
Tuesday, August 18 at Myron’s at The Smith Center, Frankie Moreno returns for another 7:00 PM show in the intimate Las Vegas room he’s made his own. Moreno has played this venue more than any other artist—100-plus sold-out shows and counting—and his swaggering, theatrical approach to genre-blending rock keeps the material fresh each time out.
His record-setting 108 number-one iTunes singles span blues, pop, and rock, reflecting a catalog he’s still actively expanding. A Tuesday night at one of Las Vegas’s best-kept acoustic secrets.

Vicki Barbolak
2026-08-18 17:30 - 20:00
Vicki Barbolak is at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club on Tuesday, August 18 for the 5:30 PM slot — the Strip’s best early-evening comedy option this week.
Her comedy comes straight from the personal: marriages, kids, the pride of the trailer park, and the particular worldview that earned her a top-10 finish on America’s Got Talent Season 13. She turns each story into something broader without ever losing the specific detail that makes it work. The early show at The LINQ is a strong way to get the evening started in Las Vegas.
