October’s Las Vegas nightclub calendar gives you plenty of reasons to stay out late: Dom Dolla at LIV, RL Grime at Zouk, deadmau5 at Encore Beach Club at Night, and a Halloween weekend stacked with Martin Garrix, ILLENIUM, Adriatique and more.
We picked the nights we would build a trip around from the current iGoVEGAS calendar. Start with the music you love, then choose your venue and date. Below are our standout bookings, a 40-event shortlist organized by week, and a few ways to turn a free weekday into a good night out.
Checked October 1, 2026. All times are Las Vegas time. The 40 events in the shortlist are currently listed for 10:30 PM; that is the advertised event start, not a promised headliner set time. Open each event for current details and tickets.

The October nightclub events we would plan around
Tiësto at OMNIA: a big Friday night to start the month
Friday, October 2 · OMNIA at Caesars Palace
Tiësto is a strong first pick for a group that wants a familiar electronic headliner and a major Strip nightclub. OMNIA makes sense as the main event of your Friday: have dinner nearby, leave time to get through Caesars Palace, and settle in for the night. His catalog spans several eras, so choose the party for the artist rather than expecting a set built around one particular album.
Tiësto also appears at LIV on October 16 and returns to OMNIA for Halloween weekend on October 30.

Metro Boomin or Wiz Khalifa: two hip-hop picks on the same Saturday
Saturday, October 3 · LIV at Fontainebleau / Hakkasan at MGM Grand
October 3 is an easy date to circle for a hip-hop-focused night. Metro Boomin at LIV and Wiz Khalifa at Hakkasan give you two very different artist bookings to choose between. Let the artist you most want to see make the decision, then plan dinner and transport around that end of the Strip.
These are nightclub events. Check the event’s billing for the appearance format rather than expecting the length or structure of an arena concert.
RL Grime at Zouk: start the weekend on Thursday
Thursday, October 8 · Zouk at Resorts World
The Pit with RL Grime is our early-weekend pick for fans who want bass and trap in their club plans. A Thursday booking is useful if you arrive before the Friday rush or want to keep the weekend open for another artist.
Zouk continues the run with WAX MOTIF on October 9 and Alison Wonderland on October 10. Those dates make this one of the month’s most interesting three-night runs for electronic-music fans.

Dom Dolla at LIV: our house-music Friday pick
Friday, October 9 · LIV at Fontainebleau
Dom Dolla is the date we would start with for a group whose playlist leans toward house. His records offer an easy way for friends to get on the same musical page before the trip; try “San Frandisco” or “Saving Up,” then make LIV the destination for the evening.
If your dates fall later in the month, Cloonee on October 17 and SIDEPIECE on October 23 are two more LIV bookings worth comparing.

deadmau5 at Encore Beach Club at Night: a different setting
Friday, October 16 · Encore Beach Club at Night
For electronic fans who want an outdoor venue in the mix, this is one of our strongest October picks. deadmau5 brings a catalog with room for both melodic progression and recognizable club records; the appeal is spending an evening with that sound, rather than treating the booking as a quick stop between other parties.
October 16 also has Tiësto at LIV and Steve Aoki at OMNIA. Choose your favorite before buying: all three share the same advertised opening time.

Zedd and The Chainsmokers: two Saturdays for melodic EDM fans
Saturdays, October 17 and 24 · OMNIA / Encore Beach Club at Night
If your group wants melodic electronic music with plenty of familiar songs to explore beforehand, compare Zedd at OMNIA with The Chainsmokers at Encore Beach Club at Night. Both acts are on the calendar for October 17 and October 24, giving you a choice of weekends as well as venues.
Choose Zedd on October 17 or October 24; for The Chainsmokers, compare October 17 and October 24. The Chainsmokers also return on Halloween.
Halloween weekend: the month’s biggest decision
Halloween falls on Saturday, October 31, and the calendar is especially strong across Friday and Saturday. Our advice is to pick one anchor event per night. These bookings share late-night hours, and crossing the Strip between clubs can eat into the party you came to see.
Friday, October 30: ILLENIUM, Tiësto or BigXthaPlug?
ILLENIUM’s Dawn 2 Dusk night at Marquee is our pick for melodic-bass fans. Tiësto at OMNIA is another strong choice for a group looking for a major electronic headliner. If hip-hop is the priority, start with BigXthaPlug’s Vegas Sinners event at Hakkasan.
There is more to Friday than those three: Layton Giordani at LIV and HUGEL with support by GROSSOMODDO at Encore Beach Club at Night belong on the comparison list. Choose by the music before comparing admission options.
Saturday, October 31: Garrix, Adriatique, Mustard and more
Martin Garrix with Justin Mylo at OMNIA is our headline Halloween pick for fans of melodic, festival-scale EDM. For a moodier melodic-house and techno direction, look at Adriatique at LIV. Hip-hop fans should put Mustard’s Vegas Sinners night at Hakkasan near the top of their list.
You also have Steve Aoki’s Dawn 2 Dusk event at Marquee and The Chainsmokers at Encore Beach Club at Night. There is no need to force a universal “best” here: the right Halloween party is the one your group actually wants to hear.
Arriving before the weekend?
The buildup starts with Alesso at OMNIA on Tuesday, October 27, followed by Diplo at Encore Beach Club at Night on Wednesday, October 28. That Wednesday also brings Clüb De Combat’s Lowkey Eclipse event at Marquee. On Thursday, compare Murda Beatz’s Murda Mystery night at TAO with Benny Benassi at Hakkasan.

Good nights out beyond Friday and Saturday
A weekday stay still gives you named DJs and recurring parties. Chase B at Marquee on Monday, October 12 is a useful option after the weekend. For Wednesday, compare Lincoln Jesser’s Lowkey in the Library at Marquee on October 14 with R&Bae Wednesdays with DJ Franzen at Hakkasan.
For a Sunday with a Latin focus, look at DESEO at OMNIA on October 18. Ritual Sundays with DJ Franzen at TAO is another option that night. If you prefer to begin the party during the day, the calendar also lists LAVO Party Brunch on October 17, October 24 and October 31 at noon. Those are daytime plans, separate from the nightclub shortlist above.
Make the night work for your group
Choose the artist, then the venue
OMNIA is at Caesars Palace, Marquee at The Cosmopolitan, Hakkasan at MGM Grand and TAO at The Venetian. LIV is at Fontainebleau, Zouk at Resorts World, and Encore Beach Club at Night is at Encore. That geography matters when choosing dinner and a hotel. Our Best Nightclubs in Las Vegas guide helps compare the venues once you have narrowed the dates.
Plan around entry time, not a guessed headline set
A 10:30 PM listing does not mean the named artist goes on at 10:30. Follow the arrival deadline on your ticket and leave time for the walk through the resort and the entry line. Our guide to Las Vegas nightclub headliner times explains how to plan the evening without assuming a precise set time.
Pick the admission option you will actually use
Use the event page’s booking link to compare the club’s available tickets and tables. General admission suits a group that wants to move around; a table is worth comparing when dedicated space matters. Look at the full group cost and what is included. For a multi-night Tao Group itinerary, check whether the dated Las Vegas Party Pass includes your chosen events and arrival times.
Check Halloween costume rules before getting dressed
Look at your chosen club’s current dress and costume instructions before planning the outfit, especially masks and props. For Encore Beach Club at Night, check whether the particular event calls for swimwear or nightlife attire. Bring the required valid photo ID and confirm the event’s age policy with your booking.
