Holiday Guide
Cinco de Mayo Las Vegas 2026
May 1–5, 2026 (Fri May 1 + Sat May 2 are core nights; Tue May 5 is the holiday)
Cinco de Mayo in Las Vegas is a full-blown fiesta. The city’s massive Mexican-American population plus tourist energy creates an incredible party atmosphere across nightclubs, pool parties, and strip clubs — all running special events with tequila and mezcal promotions. Since the holiday falls on a Tuesday in 2026, the main celebrations happen the weekend before (May 2–3). Pool party season is in full swing by early May with confirmed headliners at Palm Tree Beach Club, Encore Beach Club, and Marquee Dayclub. Nightclubs like OMNIA run special Latin programming through their Deseo series, while TAO Group venues host Cinco-themed events across multiple properties. NoCoverVegas guests receive free entry at participating nightclubs and strip clubs all weekend.
