Las Vegas Open (LVO) 2026 returns October 1-4. Get the latest on tickets, what’s new, and all the event info before the rush starts.
The Las Vegas Open is back! This year’s event will run October 1-4, 2026, in Las Vegas, Nevada, bringing thousands of tabletop gamers together for another huge weekend of tournaments, hobby events, vendors, and community meetups from Frontline Gaming!
Whether you’re showing up to throw dice in the Warhammer 40k Championships or check out other major game systems, LVO 2026 is already shaping up to be one of the biggest hobby events of the year.
There is still plenty more to come, but here’s what we know right now and where to grab your tickets.
LVO 2026 Tickets Are Live
Updated on April 22, 2026, by Rob Baer with the latest official dates, ticket timing, and FAQ details for the Las Vegas Open. Every qualifying purchase helps Spikey Bits keep the lights on and the fun going.
Compared to last year’s early ticket push, LVO 2026 ticket sales didn’t go live until April 22 at 1 p.m. EST, and yes, you can grab them right now. If there’s an event you actually want to play in, locking it in early is a whole lot better than doing the usual last-minute panic when the good slots are already gone.
What’s New for LVO 2026?
Ticket Sales Start in April
This is another big shift compared to the usual scramble. The 2026 event has already been announced, and tickets went on sale on April 22nd at 1 P.M. EST, which means there was a bit more time between the event announcement and actual ticket sales.
Hobby Content Looks Like a Serious Focus Again
While we don’t know 100% on all the Hobby Programs, we expect them to include painting, modeling, seminars, and the Verko’s Vault-led offerings, alongside events like the Army Painter Challenge. So if your thing is brushes, basing, and hobby flexes instead of five rounds of stress, LVO is still clearly building that side of the convention, too.
Big Events, Big Crowds, Big Weekend Energy
LVO has built its reputation on massive tournaments and packed halls, and that is not changing. The official site continues to spotlight event coverage, streaming, vendors, and the wider convention atmosphere that makes the weekend feel bigger than just another GT.
That means whether you are chasing trophies, hunting hobby swag, meeting up with friends, or just trying to survive Vegas on convention sleep, there should be plenty to do all weekend.
LVO High Roller Package:
The LVO High Roller Package is the kind of add-on that can really make your weekend. It’s packed with exclusive merch, extra perks, and a pile of sponsored swag, so if you want the full VIP-style LVO experience, this is the one to grab.
They’ve also made swag redemption easier this year; everything is handled at check-in. Hey, you’re already going to Vegas, might as well do it in style!
