Bryan Adams brings his Bare Bones acoustic solo show to Las Vegas for five nights this fall. The run plays the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas on Wednesday, October 28, Thursday, October 29, Friday, October 30 and Saturday, October 31, 2026, and on Sunday, November 1, 2026, with every performance starting at 8:00 PM, according to the official Wynn Las Vegas listing. Bare Bones strips four decades of arena rock songs down to one voice and one guitar, and the Encore Theater, one of the most intimate headline rooms on the Strip, is built for exactly that kind of show.
The songbook needs no support band. Adams’ best-known songs, among them Summer of ’69, Run to You, Heaven, (Everything I Do) I Do It for You, Cuts Like a Knife and Please Forgive Me, were written on acoustic guitar first, and the Bare Bones format returns them to that shape, with room for stories about how they were written. Solo acoustic shows also leave space for requests and deep cuts that never appear in full-band arena sets, so no two nights of a five-night stand are likely to be identical. Halloween night, October 31, is part of the run, which gives Las Vegas visitors a very different option from the costumed crowds on the Strip.
Dates and time
Bryan Adams performs at 8:00 PM on Wednesday, October 28, Thursday, October 29, Friday, October 30 and Saturday, October 31, 2026, and at 8:00 PM on Sunday, November 1, 2026, according to the official Wynn Las Vegas listing. Note the clock change in the middle of the run: Las Vegas is on Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7) through the October 31 show, and Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8) begins in the early hours of November 1, so the Sunday show starts one hour later by the sun than the shows before it. All start times above are local Las Vegas time.
Venue
The Encore Theater is inside Encore at Wynn Las Vegas, 3131 Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89109, on the north Strip. At roughly 1,500 seats, the theater puts every guest close to the stage, with sightlines and acoustics designed for unamplified detail, a real advantage for a solo acoustic performance where quiet passages matter as much as choruses. The theater sits just off the Encore casino floor, close to the resort’s restaurants, so an early dinner inside the resort is the simplest plan before an 8:00 PM start.
Tickets
Tickets for all five nights are available through the official Wynn Las Vegas listing for Bryan Adams: Bare Bones. The Wynn listing does not publish a starting ticket price, so check the official event page for the current price of each date, including fees, before you buy. Weekday performances, Wednesday and Thursday, usually keep the widest choice of seats longest, while Friday and Halloween Saturday are the nights most likely to sell first in a small theater. Buy through the official listing or the Wynn box office where possible, and remember that in a 1,500-seat room there are no bad sections, only different distances from the stage.
Getting to Encore Theater
Wynn and Encore offer self-parking and valet at the north end of the Strip, approached from Las Vegas Boulevard or Sands Avenue. On Halloween night, expect heavy traffic and road activity along the whole Strip and allow at least an extra 45 minutes. The resorts are walkable from the Venetian, Palazzo and Resorts World, and rideshare drop-off is at the main entrances. Guests coming from mid-Strip hotels often take the Las Vegas Monorail part of the way and finish with a short taxi or rideshare from Harrah’s or the Convention Center station.
