This is a solid option for fans of rock music looking for a big show to start their weekend. The arena is right on S Las Vegas Blvd, making it easy to get to if you’re downtown.
Eddie Griffin (Las Vegas)
Eddie Griffin (Las Vegas) takes the stage at Saxe Theater inside Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile Mall on Friday at 8:30 PM. This stand-up comedy show is a good choice if you’re in the mood for laughs to close out the work week. Arrive early if you want time to find your way through the mall.
Big Black Comedy Show
Big Black Comedy Show is set for Friday at 8:30 PM at V Theater, also inside Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile Mall. It’s another comedy option for Friday night, so if you’re looking to unwind with some jokes, this is worth considering. Both comedy shows are in the same area, so pick the style that suits you.

Awakening
Awakening runs Friday at 6:30 PM at the Awakening Theater at Wynn Las Vegas. This show is tagged as a spectacular, so expect a theatrical production that leans into visual effects and staging. It’s a good pick for anyone looking to start their night with something immersive.
Las Vegas Raiders vs. Los Angeles Rams
Las Vegas Raiders take on the Los Angeles Rams at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday at 1:25 PM. This football game is the big sports event of the weekend, drawing fans from both teams. If you’re planning to drive, give yourself extra time for game day traffic.
BattleBots Destruct-A-Thon
BattleBots Destruct-A-Thon happens Saturday at 2:00 PM at the BattleBots Arena behind Horseshoe Las Vegas. This is a family-friendly event where robots go head-to-head in the ring. It’s a fun afternoon outing, especially if you’ve got kids or just want to see some machines in action.
A plan for the weekend
Here’s one way to plan your weekend: On Friday, start with Awakening at 6:30 PM if you want a theatrical show, or go for one of the rock concerts or comedy shows later in the evening. Saturday’s clear highlight is BattleBots Destruct-A-Thon at 2:00 PM, great for families or anyone curious about robot battles. On Sunday, head to Allegiant Stadium for the Raiders vs. Rams football game at 1:25 PM to close out the weekend with some live sports.
