LAS VEGAS — Winter is fading in Las Vegas, and March arrives as one of the most active months of the year. After record-high temperatures in February, the coming weeks should bring near-perfect afternoons, with highs in the upper 60s and 70s.

Visitors can take advantage of the nice weather as pool season begins and spring breakers arrive later this month, along with St. Patrick’s Day and March Madness. There’s plenty to do during the day and ample laughs at night.

Beyond the parties and basketball, Las Vegas hosts North America’s largest construction expo March 3-7. CONEXPO-CON/AGG quietly draws nearly 150,000 people to the city.

Whether it’s music or comedy, seeing performers in these intimate venues is why so many visitors plan vacations around these events. It’s truly an “Only in Vegas” experience.

Headliners to See Across the Strip in March

The March comedy calendar is stacked with resident performers and national tours. The variety is unmatched, from one of today’s best storytellers, Ali Siddiq, to two comedians who typically play venues 20 times larger than their Las Vegas residencies.

Sebastian Maniscalco and Nate Bargatze, who tour the country playing 20,000-seat arenas, will perform for fewer than 1,500 people at the Encore Theater inside Wynn Las Vegas.

Here’s a look at the full calendar of major stand-up comedy shows inside Strip casinos:
