Labor Day Weekend in Las Vegas 2024: How To Do It Right

Labor Day weekend is a fabulous time to visit Las Vegas. With summer drawing to a close all over the country, you’ll find that fun in the sun is still going strong in Sin City. Gorgeous warm weather, pool parties, and exciting nightlife are just some of the things you can look forward to when spending the long weekend in Vegas.

To help you plan your getaway, we’ve created this guide with the experiences you can’t miss during your ultimate Labor Day weekend in Vegas.

What’s Vegas Like on Labor Day Weekend?

Las Vegas is a favorite travel destination during Labor Day weekend, with visitors flocking in to enjoy the long weekend. Because of this, it’s a good idea to book your hotel accommodations as soon as possible to avoid rooms selling out and rates skyrocketing.

The weather is almost always beautiful, with an average high of 95°F (a dry heat, so it’s quite tolerable) and a low of 71°F. Pack sunscreen, lightweight, breathable clothes, and your bathing suit!

Top 6 Things To Do in Vegas on Labor Day Weekend

There’s always so much to see and do in Las Vegas, it can be pretty difficult to narrow things down. Here are the 6 experiences you just can’t miss during your Labor Day weekend visit.

1. Rent a Pool Cabana

The best way to enjoy the hot weather in Vegas is to spend time at the pool. Las Vegas is home to some truly epic pools, from Mandalay Bay’s expansive man-made beach with lapping waves to the Golden Nugget’s waterslide that goes right through a shark tank.

If you want to enjoy your time at the pool in luxurious style, we recommend reserving a VIP cabana. It’s the perfect way for your group to get together, stay out of the blazing hot sun, and get waited on hand and foot in between dips in the water.

The best cabanas in Vegas cost anywhere between $300 to $12,000 a day (yes, you read that right!). Depending on the cabana you reserve, you’ll get all kinds of fancy amenities like flat-screen TVs, sound systems, and even private plunge pools with views of the Vegas Strip.

Be sure to get in early when reserving your private cabana, because they’re in high demand and will sell out quickly!

2. Party It Up at a Dayclub

If you’re coming to Vegas in search of our world-famous pool parties, be sure to spend a day at one of the best dayclubs in the city. These extravagant pool party venues will blow you away with the sheer debauchery they offer, featuring state-of-the-art sound systems, champagne showers, bikini-clad babes, and poolside VIP tables with bottle service.

The Cosmopolitan’s Marquee Dayclub gives you a stunning view of the Las Vegas Strip while you swim, and The Venetian’s Tao Beach has a lush Asian-inspired atmosphere and pumping DJ sets by some of the world’s top performers. Our absolute favorite dayclub is Encore Beach Club (EBC) at the luxurious Encore, with 60,000 square feet of pool deck and a never-ending lineup of must-see performers.

3. Sink Your Teeth Into the Best BBQ in Sin City

It’s a Labor Day tradition to grill out, and while you may not be able to fire up a grill during your visit to Vegas, there are some killer barbeque restaurants in Sin City where you can fill up on mouthwateringly good grilled meats. From hole-in-the-wall BBQ joints to upscale sit-down restaurants, there’s a dining option for everyone.

Virgil’s Real BBQ is located in the Linq Promenade, serving smoked delicacies like Memphis-style ribs and Carolina-style pulled pork. Right next door to the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, Rick’s Rollin Smoke BBQ & Tavern serves up Southern favorites like brisket, pulled pork, and chicken. 

Be sure to check out Project BBQ when you’re exploring Downtown Las Vegas. This permanent food truck outside Circa Resort features a fake lawn with tables where you can dig into barbeque street tacos, smoked brisket empanadas, and traditional BBQ favorites.

4. Explore the Great Outdoors

The perfect weather of Labor Day Weekend in Vegas means it’s a great time to get outside and explore the gorgeous desert landscape that surrounds the city. Whether you are in the mood for some laid-back hiking at beautiful Red Rock Canyon or a high-adrenaline off-roading adventure, there are all kinds of unforgettable outdoor adventures on offer just outside Vegas.

Paddle a kayak out on the tranquil waters of Lake Mead by taking this guided kayak tour, or ride an ATV through the scenic desert to explore a forgotten historic town on this incredible ghost town ATV tour. Take a day trip tour to the Valley of Fire or fly in a luxury helicopter to enjoy a picnic landing at the Grand Canyon.

5. Shop ‘Til You Drop

Take advantage of the Labor Day sales by getting some retail therapy at one of the best shopping centers in Las Vegas. Shopping in Vegas has something for everyone, whether you want to seek out amazing bargains or window-shop at luxury designer stores.

You’ll find your favorite department stores like Macy’s and Nordstrom, as well as high-end stores like Louis Vuitton and Calvin Klein, at Fashion Show Mall located right on the Strip. The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace are well worth checking out for the extravagant atmosphere alone, featuring giant Roman columns, replica Roman statues, and vaulted ceilings painted with blue sky.
