Best show for Halloween night in Las Vegas
Halloween 2026 falls on a Saturday. Much of what is on in Las Vegas that night is nightclub parties and concerts. WOW - The Vegas Spectacular at Rio is an all-ages production with a 7pm start, so it ends around 8:30pm and leaves the rest of the night open.
WOW is not a Halloween-themed show. It is acrobatics, aerial acts, water effects, comedy and dance, and it runs on the holiday like any other night it performs.
When to see WOW on Halloween weekend
WOW performs Tuesday through Sunday at 7pm, with one show each night and Mondays dark. That gives you three nights around the holiday: Friday, October 30, Saturday, October 31 (Halloween) and Sunday, November 1. All three start at 7pm.
What else is on Halloween night
Halloween weekend on the Strip is built around nightclub events, costume parties and concerts. Those are late-night plans, and many are for adults.
For families, HallOVeen at the Magical Forest, run by Opportunity Village, is open October 2 to 4 and October 9 to 31. WOW is the seated, indoor option for a group that wants one show at a fixed time.
Why WOW works on a holiday night
- It is open to all ages, recommended for guests 3 and up, so a mixed group can go together.
- It runs 90 minutes with no intermission.
- The theater has six seating tiers and about 650 seats, and there is no bad seat.
- Rio is off the Strip, and self-parking is free.
Compare seat tiers in the seating guide before you book. For other family options, see the list of best family shows in Las Vegas.
