Las Vegas' Best-Kept Secret: Epic Deals on Shows, Hotels & Dining Between Thanksgiving and Christmas

As Travelzoo's Las Vegas entertainment expert, I've met Penn & Teller, sat front row for Britney Spears, and gone backstage at top shows. Most days, I scour rates for Strip performances. The sweet spot? Weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, with peak availability and lowest prices.

Why? While families plan holiday gatherings, Vegas' luxury hotels and world-class shows fade from travelers' radars.

This means short lines at celebrity chef restaurants, orchestra seats at hit productions, and suites at bargain rates.

Top Entertainment Deals

Discover discounts on 31 premier tribute acts, magic, comedy, and variety shows—the world's best, on and off the Strip. Save up to 80%, with tickets from $10.
