BTS THE CITY ARIRANG Las Vegas

If you’re heading to Las Vegas for BTS’s WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ at Allegiant Stadium, the concerts are just the beginning. Vegas is leaning fully into the moment, with citywide light activations, official after-parties, a pop-up merch store, nightclub takeovers, and photo ops the moment you land at the airport. Here’s everything broken down by when and where, including the official event map.

The Concerts at Allegiant Stadium: May 23, 24, 27 & 28

The main event is four nights at Allegiant Stadium, named “Stadium of the Year” by Pollstar. Located just off the Strip, the stadium is walking distance from several hotels including the convenient Hacienda bridge right next to Mandalay Bay.

BTS Army photo op: A custom "Welcome to Las Vegas" photo op will be set up at Allegiant Stadium May 23–28, specifically designed for this run. It's a great grab before or after the show when the energy is highest.

The City Lights Up: All Four Concert Nights

Every concert night from 11 pm to 12 am, Las Vegas transforms to match the moment. Landmark locations across the destination will be illuminated in ARIRANG's signature red, from the Strip and Downtown to Off-Strip Hotels.

The Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign is also going red May 22–29, giving you the photo opportunity from the moment you land through the final day of the run. Sphere's Exosphere will also feature larger-than-life ARIRANG-themed visuals.

Official Merch Pop-Up: The Forum Shops at Caesars

Dates: May 21–28

The BTS POP-UP: ARIRANG official merchandise store is set up on the third floor of The Forum Shops at Caesars. This is your chance to shop the official collection at a Vegas-exclusive store, and The Forum Shops are worth the walk on their own as one of the more well-designed shopping experiences in the U.S.

If you're arriving ahead of the concerts, this is a good first stop to orient yourself and pick up what you need before show day.

Nowhere Lounge at Fontainebleau: May 24

For fans who want a more curated, music-focused evening beyond the official after-parties, Nowhere Lounge at Fontainebleau Las Vegas is transforming into a full K-pop experience on May 24 starting at 10 pm. Expect curated music programming, concert visuals, and a high-energy room built around this moment. It's the right room for fans who want to keep celebrating in a more music-specific atmosphere after the show.

Fontainebleau sits at the north end of the Strip, a quick rideshare from the stadium or from anywhere mid-Strip.

La Mona Rosa: May 22

The night before the first concert, La Mona Rosa in Downtown Las Vegas is hosting a BTS fan event on May 22. Follow @lovesickparty for details as they're released. If you're arriving early, which for a run like this makes a lot of sense, this is the pre-concert gathering worth knowing about.

Food & Drink: Special Menus and ARMY Meet Ups

HYBE has partnered with a range of Las Vegas restaurants and cafés running BTS THE CITY ARIRANG specials throughout the show run. Here’s the full lineup:

THE CITY Special Foodie Tour (May 22 & 26)

Take a premium culinary tour featuring six of Vegas’ top dishes without any wait time, at ARIA from 4:30–6:00 pm. Tailgate Beach Club at Mandalay Bay is hosting a two-hour open bar poolside welcome party from 7:00–9:00 pm. This is a ticket holder exclusive event!

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer (May 20–31)

Inside The Venetian Las Vegas on the Strip, Black Tap will offer a limited-time menu combo, the K-Town Chicken Sandwich + Strawberry Cheesecake Classic Shake.

Official After-Parties

Two of the Strip's most recognizable clubs are hosting official after-parties tied to the concerts:

JEWEL Nightclub at ARIA: May 23

One of the more intimate large-format clubs on the Strip, JEWEL has strong sound design and a crowd that leans music-forward. On the 23rd, the energy coming out of Allegiant Stadium will land directly here.

Marquee Nightclub at The Cosmopolitan: May 24

Marquee is a fixture on the Strip's nightlife circuit. Multi-room, high-energy, and well-suited for a night that continues well past midnight, it's the official next stop for the second concert night. Both venues are on or adjacent to the Strip and easy to reach by rideshare from the stadium.

BTS THE CITY ARIRANG Monorail: May 21 – June 4

The Las Vegas Monorail is running a branded ARIRANG experience for the full run, making it a practical and photo-worthy way to move between casino hotels along the Strip. It runs from MGM Grand up to the SAHARA station with stops at several major properties along the way. If you haven't ridden it before, this is a good week to try it.​

Photo Ops and Freebie Drops

Beyond the confirmed activations, additional photo opportunities and giveaways are being dropped across the destination throughout the week. These are announced on short notice and spread across multiple areas, so the best way to catch them is to follow us 👉 @Vegas on X

Plan Your Days Around the Concerts

A few more tips for those Las Vegas on a multi-night concert schedule.

The Strip is walkable between most of these activations.  There's also plenty of ways to getting around Las Vegas no matter is you're staying on the Strip, near Fremont Street or just off the Strip at the Rio Hotel & Casino.

Arriving May 21 or 22 gives you time to hit the merch pop-up, catch the La Mona Rosa pre-party, and get your bearings before show day. That's especially useful if this is your first time exploring Las Vegas.

This is a rare week when a global fan community and one of the world's most entertainment-forward destinations are running entirely in the same direction. Whether you're here for one night or the full run, Las Vegas has built out a week worth staying for.

I've already got my BTS fit laid out for the show on Wednesday, May 27th...see you there!
