Your Guide to May 2026 in Las Vegas

Consider May in Las Vegas a kind of pre-game for summer – the pools are open, the sun is out and the heat hasn’t forced us to seek the nearest AC (yet). What better time to take advantage of great hiking, luxuriate at the spa or get a headstart on the summer movie season? We’ve got insider tips and tricks for finding the hidden gems, eating your fill of everything from an exclusive chef-y brunch to an Indian food feast to an all you can eat omakase experience, and yes, even how to enjoy the spectacle of EDC from a distance. Host Jesse Merrick is joined by newsletter editor Rob Kachelriess and lifestyle and entertainment writer Melinda Sheckells.  Learn more about the sponsors of this Thursday, April 30th episode: TEDxLasVegas Learn more about becoming a City Cast Las Vegas Neighbor during our spring membership campaign at membership.citycast.fm.
