Nightlife

Smells Like ’Ween Spirit

Make Your Halloween Presence Felt Here

You should probably make some Halloween plans. Plans that involve underdressed superheroes, Snoop Dogg and perhaps some adult refreshments. These five parties might be a good start. Seventeen pancakes might be a good finish.

THE ONE AT HYDE

A Haunted House That’s Not Quite That

The Trick: Hyde is dressing up as a Sexy Haunted House this year. So it’ll be all weird in there. One night there’s a masquerade scenario. Another there’s a zombie theme. Finally, a zombie theme.
The Treats: Music provided by DJ Joe Maz and Konflict. Nightmares provided by probably clowns.

THE ONE AT DRAI’S

A Severe Spandex Advisory Is in Effect

The Trick: A weekend-long superhero-themed costume party 11 stories above the Strip. Plan on wearing a cape. And some spandex. And some shame.
The Treats: 3LAU and Eric Dlux, plus costume contests for things like “Hottest Heroine” with prizes like a Ducati. Another Halloween, another casual Ducati giveaway.

THE ONE AT XS

Zedd. Skrillex. You. Gang’s All Here.

The Trick: No real theme. It’s simply a four-day dance party in case you’re not into going full Halloween but are into going full four-day dance party.
The Treats: Zedd, Kaskade, Skrillex and Diplo, depending on when you get there. Or all of them, depending on if you ever leave.

THE ONE AT TAO

Introducing Snoop Gatsby

The Trick: A party where everything’s ’20s, from the cocktails to the costumes to the rap. Fine, that last part’s new.
The Treats: A DJ set and performance by Snoop Dogg. That’s why we said Snoop Gatsby up there.

THE ONE AT CRAZY HORSE III

Costumes Aren’t Important Here

The Trick: This is a Halloween party. At Crazy Horse. Great, now that that’s settled...
The Treats: There’s a costume contest, but it involves you dressing up as “Best Vegas Guy.” We’re not sure what that means, but we have a feeling Ed Hardy stock is about to go up.
