UNLV takes over Gold Spike's courtyard for a college Halloween bash that mixes costume-party energy with Downtown Vegas' backyard-game vibe. Expect the usual Gold Spike touches—string lights overhead, oversized Jenga and beer pong tables scattered around, and a DJ or live music keeping the crowd moving between rounds. Costumes are encouraged, so the courtyard should fill up with a mix of clever getups and last-minute Halloween looks, all under the open sky that makes this venue feel more like a friend's backyard than a typical club.

This one's built for the college crowd looking to blow off some steam before finals season creeps in, with 18+ entry opening things up to a wider group while the 21+ drink policy keeps the bar area feeling like a proper night out. Craft cocktails and the casual, social layout of Gold Spike make it easy to bounce between games, dancing, and just people-watching in costume.
