This Week in Vegas: Market Tune-Up & City Sparks

Late August in Las Vegas is settling in—temperatures still cling to the triple digits, but the pulse of the city and its housing market is shifting into a steady rhythm rather than racing ahead.

On the housing front, things feel balanced. Sellers are still seeing strong offers across the board, and buyers are enjoying a little breathing room thanks to more homes on the market. Multi-million-dollar listings are especially active, drawing attention from buyers looking to move up or invest. Meanwhile, sales in the mid-range remain stable—still holding that nice middle lane of supply and demand.

Diving deeper, the number of single-family homes for sale is holding steady at around 7,650 units, showing a stabilized inventory compared to just a few weeks ago. Buyers are getting more intentional—choices are greater, timelines longer, and decisions more considered.

City Highlights: What’s Unfolding Around Vegas

• The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere lands this week. Think sensory overload—160,000 sq. ft. of wraparound visuals, wind, scents, haptic seats. It’s immersive theater turned up to eleven.

• Ashlee Simpson’s “I Am Me” residency launches at the Venetian’s Voltaire on August 29. Limited dates, intimate setting, and a nostalgic vibe make it one of the more personal residencies of the season.

• Bruno Mars extended his Park MGM run with New Year’s Eve shows added in. High energy, epic production—Vegas stays ready for the holiday stage.

• If arts and culture call to you, the 18b Arts District is always a great lens into local creativity—home to galleries, breweries, and that monthly First Friday buzz.

Bottom Line

Homes are standing firm, not frenzied. Thoughtful buyers are finding opportunities. Sellers who price smart and show well keep standing out. And the city? Still glittering with immersive shows, nostalgic acts, and creative energy pulsing through its neighborhoods.
