The Best Music Events in Las Vegas This Month: From Bach to Beyoncé and Beyond

If you think music events in Las Vegas are just EDM drops and VIP booths, you’re only seeing the Strip from an Uber window. Right now, the city’s live scene is weirdly, brilliantly alive — the kind of week where nearly 9,000 people are circling the same shows, texting the same links, and pretending they “haven’t decided yet” while everything quietly sells out.

This month, the best music in Las Vegas is sitting in that sweet spot between highbrow and totally unhinged. You’ve got Paws at the Peak: Winter Carnival (yes, it’s exactly as chaotic and adorable as it sounds), OkCello doing genre-defying cello that’ll make your Spotify algorithm panic, a gritty rock night with High Rollers 26: The A-100s + Cromm Fallon & The P200 for people who miss real guitars, and the Las Vegas Classical Guitar Ensemble playing the kind of set that makes you want to go home and practice... something. Then there’s Bach to Beyonce from Vegas City Opera — the dress-up, sing-along-in-your-head option — and the UNLV Jazz Concert Series: Latin Jazz Ensemble, which is where the city’s next heavy-hitters are quietly leveling up while you sip something cheap but strong.

And of course, it’s all scattered across the usual suspects: the V Theater at Planet Hollywood inside Miracle Mile (aka ‘I’ll just pop in after shopping’ territory), the International Westgate Theater at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino (old-school Vegas glamour with surprisingly adventurous programming), and Harrah's Showroom at Harrah's Las Vegas, which still knows how to make a night feel like an event without rinsing your entire paycheck.

If you’re choosing what to actually leave the couch for, here’s the move: OkCello and Bach to Beyonce are your must-book-first nights if you want a story to tell on Monday. The UNLV Latin Jazz Ensemble is the low-key, very cool pick if you like saying you saw artists "before they blew up." High Rollers 26 is for rock kids and dive bar romantics. Paws at the Peak is your wildcard — perfect if you want music wrapped in winter-carnival chaos and dog people. This is what discovery looks like in Las Vegas right now: a little classy, a little messy, and absolutely worth getting out for.
