Yes, you can make Halloween brunch a proper Las Vegas event this year. Two confirmed options bring different energy: JING in Summerlin is advertising a Halloween Party Brunch with a costume contest on Sunday, October 25, 2026, while LAVO on the Strip has a Halloween-edition Party Brunch scheduled for Saturday, October 31. Pick the date and vibe that fit your crew, then check the venue’s booking page for the latest terms before you commit. That is how you get the big entrance without the group chat turning into a logistics horror story.

One important distinction: a normal brunch reservation is not automatically a Halloween event. If you want a themed party, costume contest or special entertainment, look for those details in the venue’s official listing. If the listing does not promise it, plan on bringing the Halloween mood yourself.

Which Las Vegas Halloween brunch fits your plans?

For a Halloween-weekend party on the Strip, LAVO’s October 31 Party Brunch is billed as a Halloween edition featuring The Black Tape Project. The event listing says entry is by table reservation or general admission and attendees must be 21 or older. LAVO’s regular Party Brunch is a high-energy format with a live DJ, dancing and a terrace overlooking the Strip, but check the specific event and ticket details for what is included on Halloween.

Want a costume contest and a Sunday daytime plan? JING’s Halloween Party Brunch is scheduled for Sunday, October 25, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Summerlin. The restaurant’s calendar advertises a costume contest, with a $1,000 first prize. It is a different kind of Halloween move from the Strip party: lock in the brunch, build a look worth showing off, and make the contest part of the occasion.

Dates and event details can change, and ticket availability is not guaranteed. Use the official venue pages to confirm the current schedule, reservation or ticket requirements, age restrictions, price and cancellation terms. A prior-year post or an old event listing is not a current booking confirmation.

Choose the experience before you choose the outfit

If the party is the point, go for a listing that explicitly calls itself a Halloween event. If you are here for a relaxed meal and a strong menu, book a regular brunch and treat the costume as your personal upgrade. Those are both good plans. They are just not the same plan.

What should you check before booking?

Start with the basics: date, start time, location, age requirement and how you get in. Some brunches use standard table reservations; others offer tickets, general admission or a mix. Check whether the price covers food, drinks or entertainment, and do not assume a bottomless-drink offer or special Halloween menu unless the venue says so. If the details are not clear, ask the restaurant before paying.

Then look at the menu and the mood. “Brunch” can mean a full meal, a limited event menu or food served as part of a longer party. If big plates are part of your mission, make sure you know what food is included and whether you need a separate reservation. If cocktails are the headline, check what the event actually offers and pace yourself. The smart play is food, water and a ride plan, not a heroic first round that ends the day early.

For a group, settle on a head count before booking and make sure everyone understands the price and entry rules. Ask about deposits, cancellation deadlines and whether the venue can accommodate your party together. Halloween brunch is a lot more fun when nobody discovers at the door that their ticket, age or reservation is the wrong one.

How do you make a costume work at brunch?

Go for a look that survives sitting, eating and moving through a busy venue. A sharp jacket, themed makeup or a standout accessory can bring the Halloween energy without commandeering the whole table. If you are entering a costume contest, read its rules and check whether props, masks or other costume elements are permitted. Venue policies differ, and a costume that works for a photo may not work at every entrance.

Think about the whole itinerary, too. You might be walking through a hotel, heading to another venue or catching a ride after brunch. Comfortable shoes are not a compromise; they are a tactical decision. Keep props manageable, and leave anything that could be mistaken for a real weapon at home. Check the specific property’s rules rather than assuming one venue’s policy applies everywhere.

Make the rest of the day part of the plan

Choose a meeting point, give the group enough time to arrive and decide how everyone is getting home before cocktails enter the picture. LAVO’s Strip location and JING’s Summerlin setting mean the right choice may simply be the one that works best with where your crew is staying and what you want to do afterward. Do not drive after drinking. A sober ride is part of the reservation, not an afterthought.

For 2026, the clearest move is to pick between JING’s October 25 costume-contest brunch and LAVO’s October 31 Halloween-edition Party Brunch, then book through the venue and confirm the fine print. Get the food, the costume and the ride right, and you have a Halloween start with real Vegas energy, not just a spooky name on a calendar.
