The Not-So-Live Deal
Las Vegas doesn't have a magical SNL transporter (yet). SNL airs live on Saturdays on NBC with the usual showtime of 11:30 pm Eastern / 8:30 pm Pacific. So what can you do in Vegas if you can't be there for the live broadcast?
Here are your Vegas SNL options:
QuickTip: Stop scrolling, read carefully here.
- Catch a live watch party at a casino bar or club. Many casinos put up SNL on big screens for fans to gather and enjoy the show together. Who knows, maybe you'll find yourself sitting next to someone who once bumped into Pete Davidson backstage.
- Tune in to the rerun. SNL usually airs again later that night or early Sunday morning on NBC. Perfect for those nights when you lose track of time thanks to Vegas's endless fun.
- Hit up the future (maybe). There have been talks of a permanent Saturday Night Live Las Vegas venue with a museum, tours, and even a bar! Imagine strolling through SNL set recreations and then grabbing a drink at the Weekend Update bar. Sounds like a sketch in itself!
