This week’s six picks also include a downtown Head East concert and Santana at House of Blues. Choose one main evening event, then build meals and transport around it.
Checked Friday, September 25, 2026. Dates below appear on current official venue or organizer schedules. All times are Las Vegas time. Schedules can change, and a listed event does not guarantee seats at a particular price. Live seat inventory was not independently confirmed; Head East and Sunday Santana ticket pages could not be fully viewed. Check the linked ticket offer before paying.
The weekend at a glance
How to plan the weekend
- Friday: Choose Ali Wong, Sammy Hagar, Head East or Olympia. Their evening schedules overlap.
- Saturday: Give Foo Fighters the afternoon and evening, or choose a theater concert, comedy or the Olympia finals instead.
- Sunday: Santana is the late-weekend concert option here. Leave it for a stay that includes Sunday night rather than squeezing it ahead of an uncertain airport departure.
- Between events: Keep room for food, rest and travel. An impressive list of bookings is less useful than an evening you can comfortably enjoy.
Foo Fighters: Take Cover Tour
- Saturday, September 26 • 5:30 p.m. • Allegiant Stadium
The stadium-scale rock choice, with Queens of the Stone Age also on the bill.
Make this your main Saturday booking. Allegiant lists doors at 4 p.m. and parking lots at 3 p.m.; the 5:30 p.m. event start is not a guarantee of the headliner’s set time. Compare the concert seating map, especially floor versus elevated views, and decide on a return pickup before arrival. A second tightly timed show would leave little room for the stadium exit.
Ali Wong Live!
- Friday–Saturday, September 25–26 • 8 p.m. • Encore Theater
Two evenings of stand-up for visitors who want comedy instead of another concert.
Wong’s Netflix specials, including Baby Cobra and Single Lady, offer an introduction to her comedy, but this booking is a live performance. Make dinner at Wynn or Encore part of the evening and leave time to reach your seats. The ticket terms admit ages 12 and up, with guests 18 and under accompanied by an adult; consider the material separately from the admission minimum.
Sammy Hagar: The Best of All Worlds
- Friday–Saturday, September 25–26 • 8 p.m. • Dolby Live at Park MGM
A rock-residency evening that keeps dinner and the concert in one resort.
Hagar’s official calendar lists both nights with Dave Hill. Choose this if you prefer a theater concert to Saturday’s stadium outing. Park MGM is a different property from MGM Grand, so check the destination in your transport app. For premium tickets, compare the actual seating and stated benefits; a package name alone does not establish artist access.
Olympia evening finals
- Friday, September 25 • 6 p.m.; Saturday, September 26 • 7 p.m. • Orleans Arena
A different kind of live spectacle: bodybuilding and fitness championship sessions.
Friday includes multiple divisional finals and Mr. Olympia pre-judging; Saturday includes the Mr. Olympia final. The daytime expo is at the Las Vegas Convention Center, with separate ticket products. The official ticket page marks VIP packages sold out while advertising finals tickets separately. Choose the session you want and plan travel between venues; do not buy an expo pass expecting it to admit you to the arena.
Head East
- Friday, September 25 • 8 p.m. • Golden Nugget Showroom
A downtown classic-rock option for a Friday built around Fremont Street.
Known for Never Been Any Reason, Head East gives classic-rock listeners a showroom alternative to the Strip’s bigger venues. Plan dinner downtown and leave time to find the showroom inside Golden Nugget. The venue continues to list this date with a purchase link; live seat inventory could not be checked, so confirm availability and entry rules on the ticket page before making the trip.
Santana: Greatest Hits Live
- Saturday–Sunday, September 26–27 • 7 p.m. listing • House of Blues
A guitar-led concert at Mandalay Bay, including an option for visitors staying Sunday night.
House of Blues lists both evenings, and Saturday’s ticket page confirms admission is for ages 18 and over with valid photo ID. The event information also calls 7 p.m. the door time, so check your confirmation for the performance schedule rather than assuming an exact onstage start. Compare reserved seating with standing admission. Sunday remains on the venue calendar, but its live ticket inventory could not be checked.
Where to base your evening
Park MGM is a practical base for Dolby Live. The Orleans suits visitors centering their trip on an Orleans Arena session. Compare the complete room cost and the location of every event before choosing a hotel.
Weekend planning questions
Can I combine two headline events on Saturday?
The featured Saturday events overlap. Choose one as your main plan and avoid relying on an unconfirmed finish time to reach another venue.
Does an Olympia expo ticket cover the finals?
Expo and evening-finals products are listed separately. Read the exact inclusions; do not assume one purchase covers both locations or both nights.
Are these events guaranteed to go ahead?
No future performance can be guaranteed. The linked official calendars were checked September 25, but check your ticket account and venue notices again before leaving.
Where can I find more choices?
Browse the Las Vegas weekend calendar for more shows and nightlife. Review each dated listing’s restrictions and booking terms.
