Unless you want to “get married in blood” at the Little Chapel and do both. It’s the best of times and quite possibly the wildest. And I’ve DJ’d some very wild parties where when I put on Nelly’s “ Hot in Here,” half the room actually did take off their clothes. So in Vegas my “wildest” means it.
If you haven’t experienced Vegas’ end of October’s hallowed eve, believe me when I say it’s a thriller, a valley-wide party to die for. Just don’t actually die, okay? Fake the ghost-pale complexion, blood and rubber knife in your head, and appropriately, or inappropriately if that’s your poison, you can be all you wanna be, whether it’s a Chippendale, a dungeon master, a vampire bride with a blood lust that can’t be satisfied, or just a hottie in a French maids outfit. Guys too, anything goes.
Indulge your cross-dresser fantasy or drag your willing partner or partners in leather and chains or have her/him/them do it to you and any other kinky crazy themes you desire to display.
No one will bat an eye, but there may be some actual bats and “can I join in?” or “How did you build the Eiffel Tower on your head out of chopsticks?” Hint: Make it sturdy.
Planning on winning one of the many incredible costume contests or just wanna stand out? Invest some time, money, and ingenuity, because every dirty, sexy, gory, crazy, funny, silly, spooky fantasy will be parading down Fremont and at one of the killer club parties or the dozens of major themed events. Vamping or vampirelling, it’s all happpening in Vegas under the howling good-time October moon.
On the Record gives away some serious four-figure cash for best costume. Arriving at Park MGM, a pickup truck pulled up and three folks unloaded … really, I wouldn’t even call them costumes, more like parade floats.
Madelon Hynes’ article LVRJ.com/Halloween/2024 has a comprehensive list of events valley wide.
Area 15 becomes Scaria 15. There are by my count three Rocky Horror-themed events. And the entertainment options? Spooky good. Check who’s playing between the 26th and 30th: Adelle, Alice Cooper, Billy Idol, Earth Wind and Fire, The Jonas Brothers, Katy Perry, SZA, Travis Scott, U2 Sphere concert movie, Usher … phew… And in the clubs? Steve Aoki, The Chainsmokers, DJ Snake, Zedd, and a host of others.
And the weather is great finally.
I’ve done Vegas Super Bowl, July 4th and New Year’s, but Halloween takes the cake.
Though this blog is late to go this year it will give you a heads up, so you can plan for next.
Leave the candy at home. There’ll be plenty of eye candy. Bring your vampire queen or queens, your whips and chains. Rocky Horror will be there and you’ll never be the same.
BTW, no advantage play was harmed in the creation of this article.
