About Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con
What Is Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con?
Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con returns May 29 through 31, 2026 at a new, larger venue — The Orleans Hotel & Casino — in its most expansive edition yet. The three-day convention brings Las Vegas's largest all-ages pop culture expo to a Friday-through-Sunday Memorial Day weekend format, featuring comics, anime, cosplay, toys, collectibles, video games, and celebrity guests. The Orleans, located at Tropicana Avenue and the I-15, provides a large ballroom and event footprint that accommodates an expanded artist alley, additional programming tracks, and more vendor floor space than prior editions. Estimated attendance is 15,000 over the three days. The Memorial Day weekend proximity means Las Vegas hotel rates will be elevated — book early and plan for higher-than-average room rates on Friday and Saturday nights. The Las Vegas Strip nightclub scene runs at its peak Memorial Day weekend energy during the same period, with headliner DJ programming at XS, OMNIA, Hakkasan, Marquee, and Zouk all booked for the holiday weekend. The Orleans itself is an off-Strip casino hotel with its own entertainment venues; the surrounding Tropicana-area neighborhood offers budget-friendly dining options not available on the Strip, and free parking is a welcome perk for attendees who are driving.

Badge Pickup & Show Hours
Badge Pickup
Badge pickup for Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con 2026 is located in the main event hall entrance at The Orleans Hotel & Casino. Pre-registered attendees should look for the express badge pickup lanes — bring your confirmation email (digital QR code or printed barcode) for scanning. Single-day and multi-day pass holders check in at the same entrance. The Orleans event space is accessed through the casino floor from the main hotel entrance; follow convention signage through the property to the event hall. Friday badge pickup is typically fastest, as Saturday morning lines grow significantly as the weekend crowd arrives. If you have a Saturday autograph or photo op session with limited availability, pick up your badge Friday evening (if Friday badge pickup hours are available per the official schedule) to skip the Saturday morning rush entirely. Three-day badge holders use the same badge for re-entry on all three days of the convention.
Show Floor Hours
Quick Tips for First-Timers
- The Orleans is not on the Strip. Plan your transportation in advance — rideshare from Strip hotels to The Orleans takes 10 to 15 minutes and costs $12 to $22. The venue has free parking (one of the few major Las Vegas hotel venues with genuinely free self-parking), making driving a convenient option. Using a rental car or rideshare from a Strip hotel are both practical approaches.
- Memorial Day weekend in Las Vegas means elevated prices across the board — hotels, rideshare, and nightclubs all see holiday weekend surcharges. If your goal is nightclub access during Comic Con weekend, sign up for free guest lists in advance through NoCoverVegas to avoid cover charge lines that can exceed an hour during Memorial Day weekend at venues like XS, OMNIA, and Hakkasan.
- The convention moves to a larger venue in 2026 — artist alley and the dealer hall are expanded over prior years. Allocate more time for the show floor than you may have at smaller prior editions. First-time Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con attendees should build a prioritized list of must-see guests and vendors, then cover those first each day before general browsing.
- Cosplay weather at the end of May in Las Vegas is warming into summer — daytime temperatures reach the mid to high 80s Fahrenheit. The Orleans event spaces are air-conditioned, but travel through the casino floor and parking garage can be warm. Plan heat-sensitive elaborate cosplay with the indoor climate transition in mind.
Getting There
How to Get to Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con
Parking
The Orleans has a large free parking garage — one of the few major Las Vegas hotel venues with no parking fees. Self-parking is always free for convention attendees and visitors. The main parking structure entrance is on Tropicana Avenue. Arrive early on opening day as lots near the main convention hall entrance fill by mid-morning.
Rideshare (Uber / Lyft)
Uber and Lyft are the best option from Strip hotels. The ride from central Strip hotels typically takes 10 to 15 minutes and costs $12 to $22. Designated pickup and dropoff is at The Orleans main entrance on Tropicana Avenue. Surge pricing is less common than at Strip venues since the location is not a primary rideshare concentration point.
Public Transit / Monorail
The Orleans is off the Strip with no monorail service. The RTC Deuce bus runs along Tropicana Avenue and can connect to the Strip, but schedules are not optimized for convention timing. The Orleans also operates a free hotel shuttle to and from several Strip properties on a limited schedule — check the hotel website for current shuttle times and pickup locations.
Walking from the Strip
The Orleans is located off the Strip at Tropicana Avenue and Cameron Street, approximately 2 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip. There is no practical walking route from any Strip hotel. Plan your transportation in advance — rideshare from your Strip hotel takes 10 to 15 minutes each way.
Vegas After Hours
Nightlife During Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con
When 15,000 convention attendees descend on Las Vegas for Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con, the nightlife scene shifts into a higher gear. The Strip's biggest clubs extend their lineups, book marquee DJs, and host industry-specific after-parties to capture the surge. Expect longer peak hours, busier dance floors, and an electric atmosphere that feeds off the energy of the convention crowd. Whether your group is celebrating a successful day of meetings or just looking to unwind, you will find every style of nightlife within minutes of your hotel.
Convention weeks create a unique dynamic in Vegas. The typical weekend tourist crowd blends with professionals who are in town on expense accounts and looking to make the most of their evenings. Bottle service tables sell out faster than usual, especially at venues like XS, OMNIA, and Marquee. If VIP seating is on your radar, booking early is strongly recommended. For everyone else, the guest list is the smartest move — it guarantees free entry and lets you skip the general-admission line that grows significantly during major convention weeks.
The best part of going out during Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con is the social element. You will run into colleagues, competitors, and new contacts on the dance floor. Some of the most productive conversations at any convention happen after midnight over cocktails, not on the show floor. Strip clubs like Sapphire and Crazy Horse III are also extremely popular with convention groups — free guest list from your hotel and no cover through our guest list make it an easy choice for groups of any size.
After the Show
Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con After Dark — Nightlife Picks
Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con 2026 runs across Memorial Day weekend — the peak nightclub booking period of the year on the Las Vegas Strip. Memorial Day weekend programming at XS Nightclub, OMNIA, Hakkasan, Marquee Nightclub, and Zouk features the highest-profile DJ and performer lineups of the spring season. Friday night (May 29) closes the first day of the convention at 7 PM, giving attendees a full evening for dinner and nightclubs. Saturday night (May 30) is the peak of the Memorial Day weekend nightclub program — expect sold-out bottle service sections and full capacity at major venues. Sunday night (May 31) is Memorial Day eve and still very active at clubs with extended weekend bookings. For groups mixing convention attendees with different music preferences, Marquee's dual-room format (EDM main room plus hip-hop Boombox room) is the most flexible single-venue option for Memorial Day weekend.
XS Nightclub
Nightclub
Las Vegas's premier EDM nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas books its best Memorial Day weekend headliners of the spring season. XS is the benchmark nightclub experience for convention visitors — register for free guest list through NoCoverVegas to avoid the cover charge and general admission line.
Marquee Nightclub
Nightclub
The Cosmopolitan's Marquee has two distinct rooms: the main EDM room and the Boombox room for hip-hop and trap. Strong option for Comic Con groups with mixed music preferences who want to stay in one venue. Memorial Day weekend programming at Marquee is consistently strong.
OMNIA Nightclub
Nightclub
The kinetic chandelier and multi-level layout at Caesars Palace's OMNIA make it a visually impressive Las Vegas nightclub experience. Memorial Day weekend at OMNIA draws some of the biggest EDM headliners of the spring season.
Encore Beach Club
Pool Party
Memorial Day weekend marks the peak of the Encore Beach Club calendar — some of the biggest pool party events of the year. Convention sessions close by 7 PM on Saturday and Sunday, leaving time to transition to the EBC venue for an evening pool party session.
Hakkasan Nightclub
Nightclub
MGM Grand's multi-floor mega-club with rotating headliner DJs on Memorial Day weekend. Hakkasan's main room and the adjacent lounge spaces give the venue a range of vibe and volume options within one casino property.
Zouk Nightclub
Nightclub
Resorts World's underground electronic music venue. Zouk consistently books the most forward-thinking electronic music artists in Las Vegas — an excellent option for Comic Con attendees with serious electronic music taste who want something beyond the mainstream EDM circuit.

Make the Most of Your Trip
Insider Tips for Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con Attendees
Balance Your Schedule
Convention days are long and draining. If you plan to go out at night, map out which sessions and booths are must-sees so you can leave the show floor by late afternoon. A short break at your hotel between the convention and dinner makes a massive difference in your energy level for the evening ahead.
Pick the Right Nights
The first night of Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con is usually the wildest — everyone has just arrived and the excitement is high. The final night tends to be more relaxed as attendees pack and prepare for early flights. For the best club lineups, Friday and Saturday nights always deliver regardless of the convention calendar.
Recovery Game Plan
Hydration is everything in the desert. Keep a water bottle on you during the convention and match every cocktail with a glass of water at night. Order room service breakfast or grab a quick bite at your hotel before heading to the venue — skipping breakfast after a late night is a recipe for a miserable afternoon on the show floor.
Book as a Group
Heading out with colleagues or clients? Larger groups get better treatment at every venue in Las Vegas. When you sign up for the guest list, include your full group count so we can arrange a ride that fits everyone and ensure your party walks in together. Groups of six or more can often request reserved seating at no extra cost.
Pool Parties During Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con
Convention sessions typically wrap by 5 PM. That leaves the perfect window for a pool party before dinner. Las Vegas dayclubs operate March through October with free guest list entry — a popular choice for networking or blowing off steam after a full day of sessions and exhibits.
