Reggae Fest Vegas brings what its organizers bill as the biggest dancehall party in the U.S. back to House of Blues Las Vegas on Saturday, November 21, 2026, with the party at 9:00 PM Pacific and running to 2:00 AM, per the official Universe event listing linked from Ticketmaster. Five hours of dancehall, soca, reggae, afrobeat, amapiano and reggaeton take over the Music Hall at Mandalay Bay on Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend.
The format is a DJ party, not a sit-down concert: Reggae Fest’s DJs spin the best tunes in dancehall, soca, reggae, afrobeat, amapiano, reggaeton and more, and the floor does the rest. The event is 21 and over. One house rule to know before you go, straight from the listing: fitted and snapback baseball caps are not permitted inside the venue. Other hats are permitted, while durags, tank tops, white tees, team jerseys, athletic attire and sweat pants are also on the no list, with an exception that lets ladies wear tank tops.

About the show
Reggae Fest has built its name on one-room celebrations of Caribbean and African dance music, billing its party as the biggest dancehall party in the U.S., and the Las Vegas edition returns to House of Blues with the full cross-genre mix: dancehall and soca up front, reggae and afrobeat woven through, and amapiano and reggaeton keeping the floor moving late. It is a standing, dancing crowd from the first tune, closer to a club night than a concert. The November 21 date lands on the Saturday of the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend, when the Strip is at its busiest, so expect a packed floor and a late one, with the party scheduled until 2:00 AM.
The venue
House of Blues Las Vegas is Mandalay Bay’s intimate live-music hall, a general admission floor with balcony seating, Southern-inspired decor and a full restaurant and bar on site. It sits inside Mandalay Bay at 3950 S Las Vegas Blvd, at the south end of the Strip. For a DJ-driven party like this one, the room’s size is the point: big enough for a proper crowd, small enough that the energy never thins out, and the resort’s casino floor and Foundation Room lounge keep the night going after 2:00 AM.
Tickets
Tickets are on sale now, from $27.98 up to $60.44 depending on tier, through the official Universe event listing — the primary seller for the November 21 date, linked directly from Ticketmaster’s House of Blues Las Vegas page. The listing also notes tickets at reggaefest.com. At these prices the lowest tiers go first, and Grand Prix weekend demand will not help; buying ahead is recommended.
Getting to House of Blues Las Vegas
Mandalay Bay sits at the south end of the Strip at 3950 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89119. The resort connects by free tram to Luxor and Excalibur, and the Las Vegas Monorail’s MGM Grand station is a short rideshare hop away. Drivers can use Mandalay Bay’s self-parking garage or valet, and the Deuce bus stops on the Strip right outside the resort. November 21 is Grand Prix Saturday, the busiest night of the year on and around the Strip, so build in serious extra time for traffic, road closures and rideshare queues before the 9:00 PM start.

Grand Prix weekend, island rhythms
When the racing wraps up on Saturday night, the south end of the Strip trades engine noise for bass lines. Reggae Fest Vegas is the after-party with the best soundtrack in town that night — five hours of it, in a room built for dancing.
