What's NEW in LAS VEGAS for 2026!

Las Vegas is always changing, and there are tons of new things to see right now and coming soon! This is my massive annual update covering everything opened in late 2025, what’s new for 2026, and massive construction projects planned for 2027 and beyond. In this comprehensive guide, we’re hitting the Strip and going off-strip to show you major hotel rebrands (including the new Vanderpump Hotel), checking out the newest food halls at The Venetian and Cosmopolitan, and exploring the construction sites of the future Hard Rock and A's baseball stadium. We also cover new transportation options like Zoox robotaxis, changes Downtown and at the Rio, the sad state of Primm, and important trends affecting visitors right now—including pricing, the decline of buffets, and the rise of the "experience economy." ✅ Sign-up with Plannin to score insider deals on Las Vegas hotels (like the 31% off I got on my Palazzo room) that are too good to share with the public. 👉 https://yelloww.co/PlanninVegas ✅ Watch more of my Las Vegas videos: Las Vegas Travel Videos 🔔 BUSINESS INQUIRIES: [email protected] TABLE OF CONTENTS: 00:00 What’s New In Las Vegas 2026? 00:19 Hotels In Las Vegas – Vanderpump At The Cromwell 00:57 The Reserve At Park MGM 01:43 Circus Circus Adds Bingo Hall 02:35 Classic Rotating Slots Return 03:05 Free Circus Shows Still Running 03:16 Cheap Food & Great Value Here 03:33 Robot Check-In 03:53 Excalibur & Others Get New Kiosks 04:07 Venetian $1.5 Billion Renovation 04:18 Via Via Food Hall Opens 05:46 Five Guys Opens At Venetian Shops 05:57 Flamingo 80th Anniversary Remodel 07:20 Omnia Dayclub Expansion 07:40 Caesars Palace Poker Room Returns 07:52 New Dining Spots At Caesars Palace 08:50 Bellagio Adds Fortuna VIP Boat 09:16 New Bars & Venues At Horseshoe 09:57 New Food Court At Planet Hollywood 10:51 Fantasy Claw At Planet Hollywood 11:11 Blue Martini At Planet Hollywood 11:22 Block 16 At Cosmopolitan 12:08 Harrah’s Adds Chicken Guy 13:02 Treasure Island Joins Accor 14:11 Luxor Buffet Closes 14:31 How I Book My Hotels 15:23 El Cortez $20M Update Completed 15:59 Golden Gate Giveaways 16:27 Rio Massive Renovation 17:24 M Resort Expansion 17:58 JW Marriott Summerlin Rebrand 18:57 Primm — Only One Casino Remains 20:23 Construction In Las Vegas – Hard Rock Guitar Hotel 20:54 A’s Stadium & New Bally’s Resort 21:47 Experience In Las Vegas – Universal Horror Unleashed 23:14 Area 15 Zone 2 24:22 VR Experiences 24:49 Shopping In Las Vegas – BLVD Retail Complex 26:04 Netflix House (Coming Soon) 26:11 Show In Las Vegas – Wizard Of Oz At The Sphere 27:44 Jennifer Lopez Returns 27:51 The Magician’s Room At LINQ 28:06 Chippendales Moves 28:17 Transportation – Vegas Loop 29:06 Robo Taxi 29:44 Carrying The Shoes 29:58 Trend In Las Vegas – Tourism Down In 2025 30:43 Prices Are Lower 31:43 Robot Vacuums & Automation 32:02 Are Crowds Really Lighter? 33:33 More Fake Monks 34:03 Mystery Box Vending Machines 34:22 Vintage Photo Street Vendors 35:03 “Hidden” Speakeasies
