Welcome to 2024! We decided to start the year off right and gather unique and fun events and activities happening around town for you to enjoy. We’ve included fantastic shows only Vegas can bring, beautiful outdoor activities, and cultural events happening this month only! Start your 2024 with a bang and enjoy what the city has to offer.
1. Go On A Winter Hike
Getting more exercise is a new year’s resolution staple. However, it can be hard to find the motivation after the holidays’ festivities. That’s why we love mixing up our exercise routine with gorgeous winter hikes. This is a fantastic way to get that step count going and take in Nevada’s natural wonders while avoiding our astronomical temperatures! Liberty Bell Arch is closed in the summer due to extreme temperatures, so there’s no better time than now to check it out. This six-mile trail is suitable for hikers of all skill levels and covers some outstanding spots! You’ll make your way past the colossal Liberty Bell Arch, a WWII-era mine, the remains of a mining cable car, and down to the tip of Black Canyon overlooking the 1,000ft-deep Colorado River gorge!
2. Enjoy an enchanting Candlelight Concert
There’s a special magic when attending an intimate musical experience, particularly by flickering candlelight. These Candlelight concerts in Las Vegas are an excellent way to get away from all the bustle of your everyday, and they have different concerts to choose from every month. In January, classical music lovers can enjoy a serene concert of the composer Vivaldi’s Four Seasons on January 17th at the Industrial

5. Visit this Edgar Allan Poe-Themed Speakeasy
For one weekend only, lovers of literature and cocktails can visit this pop up speakeasy dedicated to the writer of the Raven, the Pit and the Pendulum, and the Fall of the House of Usher. Edgar Allan Poe lovers can sip on signature cocktails like the “pale blue eye” while enjoying an interactive narrative show with talented performers. The show will take place from January 4th to 6th at the comedy venue, Notoriety Live on Fremont Street.
6. Visit the Christmas-themed Bellagio display before its gone
Every season, the Bellagio Conservatory transforms into a beautiful display of flowers, plants, and sculptures. During December, the Christmas display, The Nutcracker, transformed the venue into a fantastical reamagining of the ballet. You still have time to go see it until January 7th. After that, the conservatory goes dark as the talented Horticulture and Engineering team prep for their new iteration.
7. Go shopping at the Las Vegas Market
If you’re looking to change up your home aesthetic, The Las Vegas Market is a fantastic spot to get inspired! The market will take place from January 28th to February 1st at World Market Center. There you can see the latest in furniture, gift, and home décor to spruce up your house. With the rise in popularity in home decor plus the fact that spring cleaning is nearly upon us, this is an excellent activity for fans of making their space a home.
