From farewell concerts at the Sphere to late-night sets at OMNIA, here's your curated guide to the best Las Vegas events and things to do this weekend, February 27 – March 1, 2026.
Vegas doesn't do slow weekends — but this one is genuinely stacked. The Eagles wrap up their historic Sphere residency, Def Leppard closes out at the Colosseum, and Ali Wong brings the heat at Wynn. Whether you're chasing arena-scale spectacles or 2 AM dance floors, the last weekend of February is delivering.
On the nightlife front, OMNIA alone pulls a one-two punch with Tiësto on Friday and Martin Garrix on Saturday, while Marshmello holds down XS and Lil Jon takes Zouk for a spin. If live music is more your speed, Chicago plays its final two residency nights at The Venetian, Ricardo Arjona fills T-Mobile Arena, and the NRL literally kicks off its season at Allegiant Stadium — with thousands of Australians in tow.
And the resident shows haven't gone anywhere. Absinthe is still the best 80 minutes in town, David Copperfield is still defying physics at MGM Grand, and Cirque du Soleil's "O" is still making grown adults forget how to blink. We pulled together everything worth your time this weekend using AllEvents to cross-reference dates, venues, and availability so you don't have to.
How this list works: We scour listings on AllEvents and cross-check with venue calendars to verify every date, time, and location. If it's on this list, it's actually happening this weekend in Las Vegas. No phantom events, no outdated listings.
What it is: The Eagles' Long Goodbye farewell tour lands on its final weekend inside the Sphere — the most technologically absurd concert venue ever built. Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, Vince Gill, and Deacon Frey have been at this for 52 shows since September 2024, and these are the last two. The Sphere's 160,000 square feet of wraparound LED interior turns "Hotel California" into something closer to a fever dream than a concert. Every song gets a custom visual treatment that makes even deep cuts feel cinematic. If you've been putting this off, the clock just ran out.
Why go: This is literally the farewell. The Eagles are done after this weekend, and there is no venue on Earth that can replicate what the Sphere does to these songs. It's the kind of show people will talk about for decades.
Who it's for: Classic rock fans, bucket-list chasers, and anyone who wants to witness the Sphere operating at full power.
When: Friday, February 27 at 8:30 PM & Saturday, February 28 at 8:30 PM — Sphere, 255 Sands Ave
What it is: Ali Wong returns to the intimate Encore Theater at Wynn for two nights of the kind of comedy that makes you laugh so hard you forget you're in public. Fresh off her Emmy and SAG wins, plus the Netflix special Single Lady and a growing list of acting credits, she's operating at peak powers. The Encore Theater is a perfect room for her — small enough to feel personal, polished enough to feel like an event. Her sets are sharp, deeply personal, and wildly irreverent. Friday is reportedly close to sold out, so Saturday might be your better bet.
Why go: She's one of the funniest people alive right now, and the Encore is an elite room to see her in. This isn't a stadium — you're close enough to catch every raised eyebrow.
Who it's for: Comedy fans who like their humor unfiltered and personal.
When: Friday, February 27 at 8 PM & Saturday, February 28 at 8 PM — Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas
What it is: This is it — the twelfth and final night of Def Leppard's February residency at the Colosseum. They've been running since February 3rd, and reviews have been glowing, largely because they've been dusting off deep cuts and rarities they haven't touched in decades. The stage setup is fresh, the production is dialed in, and a dozen shows in, they're playing like a band that's got nothing left to prove. The Colosseum at Caesars is one of the best-sounding rooms on the Strip, and the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers have been making the most of it. If you missed the first eleven shows, the universe is giving you one more shot.
Why go: Closing night energy is a real thing, and Def Leppard has been pulling out surprises all month. This is the tightest version of this setlist you'll hear.
Who it's for: Rock fans, '80s kids, and anyone who respects a band that can still bring it after four decades.
When: Saturday, February 28 at 8 PM — The Colosseum at Caesars Palace
What it is: Ricardo Arjona — one of the best-selling Latin American artists of all time — brings his "What the SECO Didn't Say" tour to T-Mobile Arena for a Friday night arena show on the Strip. The Grammy-winning Guatemalan singer-songwriter has a catalog that spans decades of Latin pop, rock, and ballads, and his live productions are massive. T-Mobile Arena is built for shows like this: big sound, big visuals, big crowd energy. Expect a bilingual audience that knows every word. Doors open at 7 PM, so plan accordingly if you're fighting Strip traffic.
Why go: Arjona is a generational artist with a devoted fanbase, and arena shows of this scale don't happen quietly. The energy in the room will be electric.
Who it's for: Latin music fans and anyone who appreciates a world-class singer-songwriter working at arena scale.
When: Friday, February 27 at 8 PM (Doors 7 PM) — T-Mobile Arena
What it is: For the second straight year, the NRL kicks off its season in Vegas — and Allegiant Stadium is about to get very, very Australian. Three full matches on one card: Hull KR vs. Leeds Rhinos (Super League), Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs vs. St. George Illawarra Dragons (NRL), and Newcastle Knights vs. North Queensland Cowboys (NRL). If you've never watched rugby league, imagine football's pace with soccer's continuous play and hockey's physicality. Allegiant holds over 65,000 people, and last year's event drew a massive international crowd. Australian fans quite literally invade Las Vegas for this weekend every year now.
Why go: It's a unique, high-energy sporting event that turns Allegiant into an international party. The atmosphere alone is worth the trip, even if you don't know the teams.
Who it's for: Sports fans, rugby league diehards, and anyone curious about why thousands of Australians just landed at McCarran.
When: Saturday, February 28 — Doors 3 PM, first match 4 PM — Allegiant Stadium
What it is: NKOTB's first-ever Las Vegas residency has finally arrived at Dolby Live at Park MGM, and the Blockheads are losing their minds. Donnie, Jordan, Joey, Jonathan, and Danny are celebrating their legacy with a show built specifically for this room — 80 million records sold, a Hollywood Walk of Fame star, and decades of pop hits packed into one electrifying night. Dolby Live's production capabilities are top-tier, and the band has leaned into it hard. Fans have been flying in from around the world for these dates. It's part nostalgia trip, part genuine pop spectacle.
Why go: First Vegas residency ever for a group that defined the boy band era. The production is custom-built for this room, and the crowd energy will be off the charts.
Who it's for: Blockheads (obviously), '80s and '90s pop fans, and anyone who appreciates a legacy act doing something new.
When: Saturday, February 28 at 8 PM — Dolby Live at Park MGM
What it is: Tiësto under the kinetic chandelier at OMNIA is one of those quintessential Vegas experiences that somehow never gets old. One of the most decorated DJs on the planet takes over Caesars Palace's flagship nightclub for a Friday night set that will keep the dance floor packed until the lights come on. OMNIA itself is a spectacle — the ceiling-mounted chandelier moves, pulses, and drops to the beat. Tiësto is a Vegas institution at this point, and his sets here are tailored for the room: big, euphoric, and relentless. If you're starting your weekend right, this is where you start it.
Why go: Tiësto at OMNIA is a proven combination. The room was practically built for sets like his, and Friday night energy at Caesars is unmatched.
Who it's for: EDM fans, nightlife enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a properly legendary Friday night out (21+).
When: Friday, February 27 at 10:30 PM — OMNIA Nightclub, Caesars Palace
What it is: Saturday night at OMNIA belongs to Martin Garrix, the Dutch superstar who basically conquered festival main stages before he could legally drink in the US. At 29, he's still one of the biggest names in electronic music, with his STMPD Records label backing a whole new generation of producers — including Justin Mylo, who joins him for this set. OMNIA on a Saturday is a different animal than Friday: louder, more packed, more intense. Garrix's sets lean into big-room energy with melodic builds that work perfectly under that chandelier. Two nights, two legends, one nightclub.
Why go: Martin Garrix is a generational DJ talent, and catching him with Mylo in an intimate club setting (by his standards) is a different experience than a festival.
Who it's for: EDM fans who want Saturday night done right (21+).
When: Saturday, February 28 at 10:30 PM — OMNIA Nightclub, Caesars Palace
What it is: The masked man takes over XS at Wynn for Saturday night, and the poolside setting is going to hit different. XS is one of the most visually spectacular nightclubs on the Strip — the outdoor pool area lit up at night with Marshmello's production is genuinely something to see. His sets are high-energy, melody-driven, and built to keep a crowd moving for hours. February weather in Vegas is cool enough to make the outdoor sections comfortable without freezing. Whether you love his music or just want the visual experience of XS in full production mode, this one delivers.
Why go: XS is an iconic room, Marshmello is an iconic act, and the poolside nightclub experience in late February is a sweet spot.
Who it's for: EDM fans and nightlife seekers who want the full Vegas club experience (21+).
When: Saturday, February 28 at 10:30 PM — XS Nightclub, Wynn Las Vegas
What it is: The self-proclaimed "rock & roll band with horns" wraps up a 9-show limited engagement at The Venetian Theatre this weekend. Rock & Roll Hall of Famers with over 50 years of hits — "25 or 6 to 4," "Saturday in the Park," "If You Leave Me Now" — playing a residency-style run in one of the best theater rooms on the Strip. The Venetian Theatre is intimate enough to make a band this big feel close, and the horn section sounds incredible in a room with proper acoustics. These are the last two nights of this run, so if the setlist is going to get adventurous, it's happening now.
Why go: Closing weekend of a limited run means the band is locked in and likely to play loose. The horn arrangements alone are worth the price of admission.
Who it's for: Classic rock fans, jazz-rock nerds, and anyone who wants a proper sit-down concert experience.
When: Friday, February 27 at 8 PM & Saturday, February 28 at 8 PM — The Venetian Theatre, The Venetian Resort
What it is: If you only see one show in Vegas, every local will tell you the same thing: Absinthe. It's a raunchy, hilarious, jaw-dropping circus-cabaret performed inside an intimate Spiegeltent right outside Caesars Palace. World-class acrobatics that will make your palms sweat, paired with adult comedy that is emphatically not for the easily offended. The host's crowd work is legendary and unpredictable. At 80 minutes with no intermission, it moves fast and hits hard. This show has been running for over a decade and still sells out regularly — which tells you everything you need to know. This isn't your grandma's Cirque show, and that's exactly the point.
Why go: It's the best-reviewed show in Las Vegas for a reason. The combination of elite acrobatics and genuinely funny comedy doesn't exist anywhere else.
Who it's for: Adults (18+) who want to laugh, gasp, and leave saying "what did I just watch" in the best possible way.
When: Fri Feb 27: 7 PM, 9 PM, 11 PM / Sat Feb 28: 7 PM, 9 PM, 11 PM / Sun Mar 1: 7 PM, 9 PM — The Spiegeltent at Caesars Palace
What it is: The most famous living magician has been performing at MGM Grand for over a decade, and somehow the show keeps evolving. David Copperfield's act is built on impossibility — the illusions are genuinely baffling, even if you think you're the kind of person who "figures it out." Audience members get pulled on stage for bits that are funny and mind-bending in equal measure. The theater is large but designed to feel intimate, so there really isn't a bad seat. Multiple showtimes across the weekend mean you can fit this around whatever else you've got planned. He's ageless and so is the show.
Why go: There's a reason this residency has outlasted almost everything else on the Strip. You will see things you cannot explain.
Who it's for: Literally everyone — families, couples, solo travelers, skeptics. All ages.
When: Fri Feb 27: 7 PM & 9:30 PM / Sat Feb 28: 4 PM, 7 PM & 9:30 PM / Sun Mar 1: 7 PM & 9:30 PM — David Copperfield Theater, MGM Grand
What it is: Donny Osmond's Las Vegas residency at Harrah's has been quietly one of the best-reviewed shows on the Strip, and that reputation is fully earned. The man has been performing since he was five years old, and six decades later he's still putting on a show that surprises people who walk in skeptical. The setlist mixes classic Osmond hits, Broadway numbers, and personal storytelling, and his energy is absurd for someone who's been doing this since the Nixon administration. The Harrah's Showroom is small enough that every seat feels personal. Even if you can't name a Donny Osmond song, you'll leave a fan.
Why go: It's one of those Vegas shows that massively over-delivers on expectations. The crowd loves it, the production is tight, and Donny gives 100% every single time.
Who it's for: All ages — families, couples, nostalgists, and skeptics who are about to be pleasantly shocked.
When: Friday, February 27 at 7:30 PM & Saturday, February 28 at 7:30 PM — Harrah's Showroom, Harrah's Las Vegas
What it is: "O" is the original Vegas water show, and after running at the Bellagio since 1998, it's still considered one of the greatest live performances anywhere on Earth. Acrobatics, synchronized swimming, diving, and surrealism performed in, on, and above a 1.5-million-gallon pool that appears and disappears throughout the show. The stage literally transforms from solid ground to deep water in seconds, and the performers move between the two like it's nothing. The O Theatre at Bellagio was purpose-built for this show, and it's an engineering marvel in its own right. There are six showtimes across the weekend, so scheduling is easy.
Why go: Nearly three decades in and it still makes audiences sit in stunned silence. There's nothing else like it in the world — not an exaggeration.
Who it's for: Anyone who appreciates live performance at the highest possible level. All ages.
When: Fri Feb 27: 6:30 PM & 9 PM / Sat Feb 28: 6:30 PM & 9 PM / Sun Mar 1: 6:30 PM & 9 PM — O Theatre, Bellagio
What it is: YEAH! Lil Jon — crunk legend, DJ, and the man whose ad-libs have soundtracked roughly 40% of all party moments since 2003 — makes his first appearance at Zouk Nightclub inside Resorts World. Zouk is one of the newest and most technologically advanced clubs on the Strip, with extravagant lighting rigs, massive LED walls, and a sound system that hits your chest. Lil Jon's DJ sets are pure, infectious energy — he knows exactly how to work a room and keep people on their feet for hours. Saturday night at a state-of-the-art venue with one of the most recognizable names in party music is about as Vegas as it gets.
Why go: It's his first time at Zouk, so expect him to go hard. The venue is stunning, and Lil Jon is a guaranteed good time.
Who it's for: Anyone who wants to dance until their legs hurt and yell "OKAY!" with zero shame (21+).
When: Saturday, February 28 at 10 PM — Zouk Nightclub, Resorts World Las Vegas
Brad Williams: The Tall Tales Tour — One of the hottest touring comedians in the country brings his brand-new Tall Tales Tour to the intimate Palazzo Theatre at The Venetian Resort. If you're looking for a Saturday night laugh before hitting the clubs, this is a great call. Sat Feb 28, 7:30 PM.
Cirque du Soleil: Michael Jackson ONE — Cirque meets MJ in an electrifying fusion of his music with acrobatics, urban dance, and a thumping sound system that makes "Thriller" feel brand new. One of the best-produced Cirque shows in town. Fri Feb 27 & Sat Feb 28: 6:30 PM & 9:30 PM — Mandalay Bay.
Gorgon City at LIV Nightclub — The UK house duo brings deep, soulful house to Fontainebleau's sleek mega-club. LIV is the newest nightlife player on the Strip and it's already turning heads. If you prefer your beats with a groove rather than a drop, this is your Saturday night. Sat Feb 28, 10:30 PM (21+).
Matroda at LIV Nightclub — Croatian-born bass house producer opens the weekend at Fontainebleau. Matroda's sets are grimy, bouncy, and perfect for a Friday night warm-up at one of the best-looking clubs in Vegas right now. Fri Feb 27, 10:30 PM (21+).
The Wizard of Oz at Sphere — The classic film reimagined using the Sphere's immersive 360-degree display. Daytime showtimes mean it doesn't conflict with the Eagles at night — you can literally do both. Oz has never looked like this. Multiple showtimes daily: 11 AM, 2 PM, 5 PM, 8 PM — Sphere.
Blue Man Group — The bald, blue trio deliver a high-energy mix of music, comedy, and multimedia at Luxor. It's been a Vegas staple for years and remains one of the best family-friendly shows on the Strip. Fri Feb 27 & Sat Feb 28, 8 PM — Luxor.
Cirque du Soleil: Mystère — The OG Vegas Cirque show at Treasure Island. Athletic, whimsical, and still one of the best values on the Strip. If you want Cirque without the Bellagio price tag, this is the move. Fri Feb 27 & Sat Feb 28, 6 PM & 8:30 PM — Treasure Island.
Jabbawockeez — The masked dance crew famous from America's Best Dance Crew run a high-energy, family-friendly, hip-hop choreography spectacle at their own theater inside MGM Grand. Multiple showtimes throughout the weekend make it easy to fit in. Ongoing — Jabbawockeez Theater, MGM Grand.
What are the best things to do in Las Vegas this weekend (February 27 – March 1, 2026)?
This weekend is headlined by the Eagles' final Sphere shows, Def Leppard's closing residency night at the Colosseum, Ali Wong at Wynn, and the NRL season opener at Allegiant Stadium. For nightlife, Tiësto and Martin Garrix hold down OMNIA on consecutive nights, while Marshmello takes XS on Saturday. Resident shows like Absinthe, "O," and David Copperfield run all weekend with multiple showtimes.
Are there any free events in Las Vegas this weekend?
While the major ticketed events dominate this particular weekend, the Strip itself is always free entertainment — the Bellagio fountains, the Sphere's exterior display, and the general chaos of a packed Vegas weekend don't cost a dime. Check AllEvents for community events and free programming that may pop up closer to the date.
What's playing at the Sphere in Las Vegas this weekend?
The Eagles play their final two farewell shows Friday and Saturday at 8:30 PM. During the day, The Wizard of Oz runs immersive screenings at 11 AM, 2 PM, 5 PM, and 8 PM — so you can catch both if you plan it right.
Which nightclubs have the best DJs this weekend?
OMNIA at Caesars runs a double-header with Tiësto on Friday and Martin Garrix on Saturday. XS at Wynn has Marshmello on Saturday. Zouk at Resorts World hosts Lil Jon on Saturday. Over at Fontainebleau, LIV brings in Matroda on Friday and Gorgon City on Saturday. It's a stacked weekend for club music.
Is the NRL Las Vegas event worth going to if I don't follow rugby?
Absolutely. Last year's inaugural event drew a massive, rowdy, international crowd and the atmosphere inside Allegiant Stadium was unlike any other Vegas sporting event. Three full matches, Australian fans who've been pregaming since they landed, and a sport that's genuinely thrilling to watch even as a newcomer. Doors open at 3 PM.
What are the best Las Vegas shows for families this weekend?
David Copperfield at MGM Grand is a slam dunk for all ages. Cirque du Soleil's "O" at Bellagio and Mystère at Treasure Island are both family-friendly and visually stunning. Blue Man Group at Luxor and Jabbawockeez at MGM Grand are great picks for kids and teens. The Wizard of Oz at Sphere is also a phenomenal family option with daytime showtimes.
Las Vegas doesn't do quiet weekends — but this one goes especially hard. See you on the Strip. 🎲
