Looking for something fun to do in Las Vegas this weekend? From live concerts and professional hockey to designer collectibles and a celebration of Vegas’s cowboy heritage, November 13–15 is shaping up to be an exciting weekend across Southern Nevada.

Welcome back to Good Energy Top 5 Vegas, where I share local experiences, events, restaurants, and hidden gems worth discovering.

Whether you’re a longtime resident, new to the valley, or visiting Las Vegas, here are five events to put on your calendar.

And stick around until the end — I’ve included an exclusive bonus No. 6 for readers!

No. 5 — Vegas Golden Knights Home Games

Dates: Friday, November 13 and Sunday, November 15, 2026

Location: T-Mobile Arena
3780 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89158

Official website: https://www.t-mobilearena.com/events

Vegas hockey fans have two chances to cheer for the home team this weekend!

The Golden Knights take on the Nashville Predators on Friday at 7 PM, followed by the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday at 6 PM.

One of the things that makes attending a Golden Knights game special is the atmosphere. The energy of a packed arena, enthusiastic fans, and live professional hockey makes for an exciting night out.

Good Energy Tip: If you’re planning dinner before the game, explore the restaurants around The Park and the nearby Strip. Allow additional time for event traffic, security, and parking.

Why No. 5? It’s a great local sports experience with two different opportunities to attend, although tickets and parking can add to the cost.

No. 4 — Teddy Swims: The UGLY Tour

Date: Saturday, November 14, 2026
Time: 7 PM

Location: T-Mobile Arena
3780 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89158

Looking for a Saturday-night concert?

Teddy Swims is bringing The UGLY Tour to Las Vegas, joined by Natasha Bedingfield and MarcLo.

Known for his distinctive soulful voice, Teddy Swims offers a live-music experience for fans who enjoy powerful vocals and emotional performances.

This is a great choice for a date night, an evening with friends, or anyone looking for an excuse to enjoy live music on the Strip.

Good Energy Tip: Since this concert takes place at T-Mobile Arena, plan your transportation in advance and check current ticket availability before heading out.

Why No. 4? A major Saturday-night concert with a strong supporting lineup.

The event advertises more than 700 vendors, with a mix of designer toys, pop art, original artwork, apparel, collectibles, and creative merchandise.

Combining a live orchestra with music from these recognizable films creates an experience that goes beyond a traditional concert.

Whether you’re a fan of film scores, orchestral music, or Tim Burton’s imaginative movies, this is one of the weekend’s most distinctive entertainment choices.

Good Energy Tip: Resorts World lists self-parking at $21 per day, subject to change. Arrive early enough to enjoy the resort before the performance.

And taking the Good Energy crown this weekend is the Helldorado Days Rodeo!

When most people think of Las Vegas, they picture casinos, concerts, bright lights, and the Strip.

But Las Vegas also has a rich Western history, and Helldorado Days is a fun way to celebrate that heritage.

The event brings rodeo competition and family-friendly entertainment to downtown Las Vegas.

What can visitors expect?

• Bull riding

• Barrel racing

• Team roping

• Carnival activities

• Petting zoo

• Live entertainment

Friday is Neon Night, while Saturday is Patriotism Night.

Schedule: Gates open at 4 PM, with rodeo competition beginning at 6 PM.

Tickets: A local event listing reports starting prices around $26. Check the official event website for current admission options.

Parking: The City of Las Vegas garage adjacent to CORE Arena is listed as an available parking option.

Good Energy Tip: Arrive early to enjoy the festival activities before the rodeo begins.

Why Helldorado Earned the Good Energy Crown

What makes this event stand out is its combination of entertainment, local history, and activities for different ages.

It’s not just another concert or performance.

It’s a celebration of a side of Las Vegas that many visitors don’t get to experience.

And that’s exactly what Good Energy Top 5 Vegas is about: discovering the people, places, traditions, and experiences that make Southern Nevada special.

Mojave Mayhem is a three-day celebration of post-nuclear-themed fandom, featuring cosplay, music, games, special guests, and themed experiences across Goodsprings and Sandy Valley.

For fans of post-apocalyptic games, desert adventures, and immersive fan events, this is an unusual way to spend the weekend.
