PokeKon Las Vegas returns on November 6 and 7, 2026 with a special edition billed as The Graveyard Shift, a trading card show and convention experience at the Tuscany Suites & Casino. With a claimed 10,000-plus attendees, 100-plus vendors, special guests, cosplay, and tournaments, it is one of the biggest Pokémon-centered gatherings on the Las Vegas calendar and a destination event for fans who travel in from across the West.
As the name suggests, Pokémon is the star. Expect singles from every era, graded slabs, sealed booster boxes and elite trainer boxes, Japanese imports, and plenty of accessories. Many vendors also carry Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana, and sports cards, along with plush, art prints, and collectibles. Beyond shopping, the convention format adds a gameshow, workshops, cosplay, special guests, and tournaments.
Hours differ by day. On Friday, November 6, general admission runs from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, with VIP early entry at 4:00 PM. On Saturday, November 7, general admission runs from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with VIP early entry at 9:00 AM. The Friday-night session leans into the late-night theme, so expect a livelier, more party-like atmosphere.
Pricing, according to the official site, starts with a standard one-day pass at $15.99. A two-day general admission pass is $26.25, and a premium two-day VIP pass is $42.00. Additional experiences, including the gameshow, workshops, and combo bundles, range from roughly $21 to $58.25. Buying tickets online before the event is the safest way to guarantee entry on a busy night.
The venue is the Tuscany Suites & Casino at 255 E. Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, NV 89169, a resort just east of the Strip. The property offers on-site parking and several restaurants, and it is close to the Boulevard Mall corridor, so you can easily combine the show with a meal or other Vegas plans. Visitors flying in will find it convenient to reach by rideshare from most Strip hotels.
PokeKon is built for fans of all kinds. Families can enjoy cosplay and games, casual collectors can browse binder-friendly prices, and competitive players can sign up for tournaments. Serious investors will find high-end graded pieces, while dealers see a large crowd that travels specifically for Pokémon.
A few tips for the weekend: buy your pass early, decide whether VIP early entry is worth it for the first pick of the best singles, and bring a want list so you can target tables quickly. Cash is useful for smaller purchases, and sleeves, toploaders, and a bag will protect what you buy. If you want to play a tournament, register ahead because spots can fill, and plan time for the gameshow and workshops that require separate tickets.
The Friday-night session is a great way to ease into the show, while Saturday is the main day with the biggest crowd and longest hours. If you prefer a quieter browse, visit late on Saturday when lines have shrunk.
