Let’s get spooky!

From escape rooms to haunted houses, to one of the best-known costume parties in the country, if you’re in search of a more sinful or scary Halloween experience, Las Vegas has something for you. Here are 3 of the best Las Vegas Halloween parties to add to your itinerary:

Looking for the ultimate Las Vegas Halloween party? Billed as Sin City’s “wildest Halloween Party” and “one of 5 events to attend before you die” by Maxim Magazine, the Fetish and Fantasy Halloween Ball has been going strong for 26 years. This year the ball is actually three nightly events back to back—Thriller on October 28, Sin City Halloween Ball on the 29th, and AfterLife: Nightclub of the Living Dead on October 30. This days-long party offers a variety of musical and erotic performers, and typically sees over 5,000 people in attendance.

You must be 21 years of age or older to attend. See the website for dress code requirements.

Immerse yourself in the terrifying interactive shows and haunted houses of the Freakling Bros. Trilogy of Terror. Join a coven in Coven of 13, brave the only R-rated haunted house in the state in Gates of Hell, or explore Castle Vampyre.

Be warned: Some of the houses are so scary they are 17+ (or 13+ with parental supervision required) and require you to sign a waiver and learn a safe word.

Enter the world of not one but two of your favorite horror movies: “Filled with live actors, immersive sets, and plenty of scares, the Official Saw Escape Room & Escape Blair Witch prides itself on bringing the frights for a full hour of mystery solving.” You can choose to do one or—if you’re feeling brave—both rooms.

Enjoy trick-or-treat stations throughout nearby Springs Preserve, and “test your bravery at Boo!town where ghostly characters are lurking about.” You can also take part in carnival games, crafts, and other interactive activities.

Note: Tickets for this event sell out quickly.

Every October, a haunted harvest takes over the entire park, where you are invited to “walk through a cemetery surrounded by hundreds of spooktacularly decorated trees and jack-o-lanterns.” Expect to be regaled with stories by an animatronic skeleton, and pass by interactive trees while you enjoy the nightly entertainment, trick-or-treat stations, carnival games, rides, and more.

In nearby Summerlin—only about 25 minutes from the Strip—be sure to check out the family-friendly Halloween Parade of Mischief every Friday and Saturday night in October. It features “dancing zombies, ghosts, witches, wizards, and more,” and best of all, it’s totally free.
