Ten Las Vegas bars built for Halloween night — costume-welcoming rooms, themed cocktails, no judgement at the door.
Halloween in Las Vegas is when the bar map changes shape. The rooms that lean into it run themed menus, dim the lights an extra half-stop, and welcome a costume without raising an eyebrow. The rooms that ignore it stay polite and slightly off-tempo. The ten venues below are the Las Vegas bars our editors send Halloween-night bookings to — the rooms that get the assignment.
