Your Guide to October in Las Vegas 2025
As the desert heat finally breaks, Las Vegans emerge from their air-conditioned cocoons into the city’s best season. In this October guide, co-host Dayvid Figler sits down with writer Scott Dickensheets and poet-artist Vogue Robinson to share their favorite ways to savor the month — from exploring bougie parks and taking scenic day trips, to tracking down the coziest comfort meals for sweater weather. They also spotlight can’t-miss events, including the Las Vegas Book Festival and even an operatic “Scream Queens” mash-up of scary movies and soaring vocals. Want even more cold-weather eats? Check out our guide to the best ramen in Las Vegas.
