Las Vegas is one of those cities that feels so alive that if you were to put your ear to the ground, you’d expect to hear a heartbeat. Las Vegas is home to dazzling casinos, world-class entertainment, exciting festivals, and iconic sights that make a getaway to our city one to remember.
Whether you’ve been to Vegas before or you’re traveling here for the first time, you’re bound to find that September is as great a month as any to explore what the city has to offer. Even though temperatures will still be hot enough to remind you that you’re in the desert, the heat doesn’t deter locals and tourists from exploring the variety of fun-filled events that bring people together and create the energy that Las Vegas is known to deliver.
Here are some enticing September Vegas events that we encourage you to check out and support to make the most of your upcoming trip.
September in Vegas represents the “interlude” between summer and fall; it’s a time of year when temperatures begin to shift and the scorching sun retreats a bit, giving way to the more comfortable and cooler fall months. Daytime highs average about 96°F, but nights tend to cool down to a refreshing 57°F, so no matter what your itinerary entails, we encourage you to dress appropriately and carry plenty of water. Layers are also an excellent idea, as you might find yourself transitioning from the outdoor summer heat into indoor spaces that have cranked up the air conditioning.
If you’re planning to stay at the D on Fremont Street this September in Vegas, you’ll be only a few steps away from one of the most popular summer concert series in the city. Downtown Rocks will present rock bands Candlebox & Cracker on September 6, followed by Zebra on September 20. These concerts are free to the public, making them the perfect place to spend your September nights while enjoying a frozen drink from D Bar.
The iHeartRadio Music Festival is back! Returning September 19–20 at T-Mobile Arena, this two-night event brings an all-star lineup including Ed Sheeran, Mariah Carey, Maroon 5, Lil Wayne, Jelly Roll, LL COOL J, Tim McGraw, The Offspring, and more. Fans can expect back-to-back performances, surprise collaborations, and nonstop energy in the heart of Las Vegas.
On the list of September Vegas concerts, Paradice promises to delight fans of soul and R&B music. This inaugural one-day festival, taking place September 27 at Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, features an impressive line-up from start to finish: Thee Sacred Souls, LA LOM, Johnny Ruiz & The Escapers, JMSN, and BALTHVS. Paradice Festival is an all-ages festival, with music starting at 5 p.m. and continuing until the clock strikes midnight.
Among the most popular September Vegas events worth noting are Firework Fridays, which take place every Friday night at Legacy Club rooftop bar in Circa Resort & Casino. Legacy Club is located on the 60th floor, which gives you access to a premier spot to catch the fireworks show beginning at 9 p.m. In addition to the free admission, fireworks, and breathtaking views of Las Vegas, you can dance the night away, try specialty cocktails created by talented mixologists, and enjoy the end of summer nights in the desert!
The September Vegas events calendar would not be complete without Tequila on Top, a soirée scheduled for Saturday, September 13, from 1-4 pm at Legacy Club. This event will give ticketholders a chance to savor not only breathtaking views of the city but also the finest tequilas being produced today. Each tequila will be paired with a popular Vegas street food to enhance its flavor profile and create a perfectly balanced tasting journey. Soirée organizers are committed to sharing tequilas that are as impressive as the city itself.
If you’re a football fan who is spending early September in Vegas, consider attending Ultimate Kickoff Weekend at Circa Resort & Casino. The unique, energetic setting puts you in control of how you spend your time: place bets at Circa Sports (the world’s largest sportsbook) and/or go for a swim in one of six (yes, six!) pools at Circa Stadium Swim®.
The sportsbook boasts the world’s best and latest technology, including a 3-story sportsbook, to make every bet as exciting as the last. Stadium Swim, meanwhile, comes complete with a 40-foot tall high-definition screen that’s surrounded by additional screens so you can watch multiple games wherever you please – in the water, poolside, at the bar, or under a rented cabana.
Las Vegas Raiders fans clad in silver and black should brace themselves for a sea of orange and blue when Chicago Bears fans descend upon Las Vegas for the September 28 NFL game. Circa Resort & Casino will give Bears fans a warm welcome during Chicago Football Weekend, scheduled for September 26-28. They’ll be treated to poolside parties, pre-game activities, room specials, and even luxury shuttle buses offering rides to Allegiant Stadium. This is Circa’s way of giving those who follow their team into the city a home-away-from-home experience.
The Golden Knights are back again! Las Vegas isn’t afraid to support our team with passion, and our games prove it. Support our Las Vegas hockey stars as preseason kicks off. In September, the Vegas Golden Knights are playing the San Jose Sharks on September 21 and 36, the LA Kings on September 23, the Utah Hockey Club on September 25, and the Colorado Avalanche on September 30. If you like an amazing atmosphere with spirited fans, a VGK game is where you should be in Vegas this September.
