December in Las Vegas runs in two parts. The rodeo owns the first half of the month. The holidays own the second half. Show calendars stay full through both parts, and the last week of the month is the busiest of the year.

What is on in December 2026

The Wrangler National Finals Rodeo runs Thursday, December 3 to Saturday, December 12, 2026, at the Thomas and Mack Center. Performances start at 5:45 PM each night. The rodeo crowd stays in the city for ten days, and its evenings after the arena are part of the trip.

Christmas Day is Friday, December 25. New Year's Eve is Thursday, December 31. The days between Christmas and New Year bring the highest hotel rates and the fastest selling show nights of the month.

ROUGE at The STRAT

ROUGE performs Tuesday to Sunday at 9:00 PM at The STRAT Theater, 2000 S Las Vegas Blvd. It is dark on Mondays: December 7, 14, 21, and 28. The show runs about 90 minutes.
