Here Are the Most Exciting Things Coming to Las Vegas in 2025
Las Vegas is a city that is always growing and expanding with fantastic new attractions, restaurants, and things to do, and 2025 is no different! Lots of new experiences are already here, and many more are on the way. Here's everything coming to Las Vegas in 2025.
Previously known as the Delano, one of the towers at Mandalay Bay, visitors will be excited to learn that the whole tower is undergoing a re-brand, re-launching as The W in 2025. This boutique hotel building will provide stunning rooftop views across the Strip.

If you’ve visited Las Vegas recently, you may have noticed that the Go Pool at the Flamingo has been closed for some time. Thankfully, it’s currently being renovated and is set to open in 2025.

Country Music fans will certainly be excited about this one, as the iconic singer Jason Aldean brings his brand new live music venue and restaurant to the Strip! Get ready for classic Southern dishes and some rocking bands. It’s a little slice of Nashville injected into the heart of Sin City.
Jason Aldean’s Kitchen & Bar already opened in early December, but since it’s so new, we figured we’d add it to the list so you don’t miss it on your next visit.

Open as of December 2024, this brand new flood hall, located in the Planet Hollywood Resort, has over 10 different dining spots, including Tacotarian (a vegan taco spot), Carnegie Pizza, Fat Sal’s (indulgent sandwiches and sides), Dave’s hot chicken, Lobster Me, Fat Tuesdays, and more!
This famous Hawaiian food chain will open the doors to its second Las Vegas restaurant in early 2025 in the Summerlin Valley area.
This brand-new addition to the Vegas Strip, set to open in the spring of 2025, will be a $50 million pizzeria and nightclub combo spot. With plenty of cold beer on tap and even an on-site garden, Bottled Blonde is projected to be the place to be on the Strip in summer 2025—especially since Senor Frogs closed down at the end of 2024.
Created by the famous restauranteur, philanthropist, and TV star Lisa Vanderpump, Pinky’s is the newest addition to her portfolio. It follows in the footsteps of her successful restaurant Vanderpump à Paris at Paris Las Vegas and her popular Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace.
Pinky’s by Vanderpump opened in December of 2024, making it a fabulous new place to explore.

In addition to Pinky’s by Vanderpump, another new restaurant that just opened at the Flamingo is the ever-popular Gordon Ramsay Burger. The seventh restaurant created by the British celebrity chef in Las Vegas, it’s a fun choice for any Ramsay fan.
As with Pinky’s by Vanderpump, Gordon Ramsay Burger was also scheduled for a summer 2024 opening, but this was pushed back to later in the year.

The BLVD shopping center inside Paris Las Vegas has been under renovation for some time now, but finally, many of the new stores are beginning to open. With Puma already up and running, it’s just a matter of time before other new stores start opening their doors to the public. Many are already displaying signs advertising their opening in the spring of 2025. Expect to see brands like Adidas, JD Sport, H&M, the ABC store, and a huge in-n-out burger located on the third floor!
From the creators of Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights, Universal Horror Unleashed is a brand new attraction coming to Las Vegas that will be located next to AREA15.
This new spooky experience seeks to bring bone-chilling experiences to life, making every night like Halloween. Discover brand new restaurants, bars, and live entertainment alongside Universal Horror Unleashed’s main attractions: four haunted houses.
Each of the four haunted houses will be themed differently. One will feature some of Universal’s most iconic monsters; one will be dedicated entirely to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, one will be themed around Scarecrow: The Reaping, and one will be for The Exorcist: Believer.
This attraction will be part of the ongoing creation of the Las Vegas Immersive District, which is expected to be completed in 2037.

Thanks to the infamous Las Vegas Grand Prix, the city has become one of the biggest destinations in the world when it comes to auto racing. That's why this year will bring the new Grand Prix Plaza?
It'll be located on the Las Vegas Strip and house the Turn 1 Lounge (where visitors can grab a drink and relive the excitement of some of the best races in history). There will also be the F1 Drive, which features F1-inspired carts, each equipped with interactive technology so racing fans can experience racing along an actual stretch of the Las Vegas Gran Prix’s Strip Circuit.
The Grand Prix Plaza is set to open in Spring 2025.
Located inside Mandalay Bay and conveniently near the parking lot is a brand-new indoor adults-only miniature golf facility. It has been open since November 2024 and is the perfect place to spend a fun-filled evening. It has a quirky, indoor countryside setting and is open until late!

A couple of notable residences will happen in Las Vegas in 2025. Bruno Mars fans will be pleased to hear that he will continue his residency at the Park MGM into the new year.
It’s also worth noting that the Eagles have extended their tour and will play at the Sphere until at least March 2025.
Aside from the great news that The Eagles will be sticking around town for a little longer, music fans can have plenty to look forward to in the new year, with tour dates in the city from the likes of Sammy Hagar and Coldplay!
As a sports city, Las Vegas has great events taking place every year, with plenty of NFL and NHL games to catch during your visit and the NBA Cup held at the beginning of December at the T-Mobile arena; there’s certainly something for every kind of sports fan.
Wrestlemania 41 will be held at Allegiant Stadium in April.

F1 will return in November, but if you want to attend, be sure to look for news in the coming year. There have been talks of pushing it forward by a couple of weekends.
There’s no set opening date, but Clark County officials approved the construction of the Las Vegas Spaceport earlier this year. This 240-acre site is set to be created in Vegas’ neighboring city of Pahrump, with the destination set to become the first-ever hub for commercial and private space tourism. Current plans include a launchpad and runway for spaceplanes, a control tower, a flight school, and, of course, it wouldn’t be a new Vegas addition without also having a 200-room resort and casino!
The Las Vegas Spaceport also made this list thanks to its 40,000-square-foot Las Vegas Space STEM University, which the creators hope will open later next year.
If you frequently travel in and out of Vegas and want to enjoy a little slice of luxury as you do so, you’ll be pleased to know that the brand new Chase Sapphire Lounge will be opening at the Harry Reid International Airport in 2025.
