What’s Happening Vegas? – September 2025

While summer comes to an end this month and fall begins, it is still going to feel like summer here on the Ninth Island of Las Vegas. Don’t let the fall display at the Bellagio Conservatory, which changes from its summer to fall theme after the first week of the month, fool you. While you may be able to find some pumpkin spice cocktails, the leaves here are not changing colors, and it is still hot here on the Ninth Island of Las Vegas.  

The average daily temperature typically falls in the mid-90’s; however, we can still get those triple digit days and even dip into the 80’s. In the evenings, expect a break from the heat, with temperatures cooling off into the 70’s. This is also the last guaranteed full month of Vegas pool season, as the majority of pools begin closing in October. Monsoon season also typically wraps up in mid-September, so keep in mind that we can still experience thunderstorms and flooding. 

Now after the slower month of August, September is certainly bringing back the action to Vegas. Typically, September kicks off Music Festival Season here in Vegas; however, this year there’s only one big one and that’s the iHeart Radio Music Festival, which will be held at T-Mobile Arena September 19th and 20th. This is a huge event, and visitors can expect it to be quite busy on the southern end of the Strip.  

Life is Beautiful used to take place during this same weekend across Downtown Las Vegas; however, the festival was cancelled due to a decrease in attendance. You can expect quite the celebration to kick off National Hispanic Heritage Month, with a variety of musicians and comedians traveling into town.
