Currently, few comedians match the prominence of Nikki Glaser, a nominee for the 2025 Grammy and Golden Globe, as well as a recipient of the Writers Guild of America’s Best Comedy/Variety Special award.
Recently, Glaser unveiled her latest venture, “The Stunning Tour,” which includes several performances at casinos. The upcoming Golden Globes host, who also recently took the stage on Saturday Night Live, is preparing for her fifth significant tour that will continue into 2027.
Before “The Stunning Tour” kicks off, she’ll perform alongside comedian David Spade at Caesars Palace’s Colosseum in Las Vegas. Scheduled shows are on Jan. 16-17 and May 22-23.
The tour’s official start is in June, with shows in London, the UK, and Ireland planned, followed by her return to the U.S. via Atlantic City.
Upcoming Tour Dates for Glaser
Glaser’s North American leg kicks off in Atlantic City at the Hard Rock Etess Arena on August 1. She will head south to Maryland the following night, performing at The Hall at Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland in Hanover.
Next, she will journey north to Canada for a show at Fallsview Casino on August 8, then return to the U.S. on August 14 at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut. Returning to Caesars Palace Las Vegas, she has shows on September 4 and 6 before continuing “The Stunning Tour” on September 11-12 at Ilani Casino in Washington.
Additional casino appearances include Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood on September 18 and Yaamava’ Resort Casino in Highland, CA, on November 19. For tickets and more information, click here.
Recognized as the “Comedian of the Year” by The New York Times in 2024, Glaser made history in January 2025 as the first woman to independently host the Golden Globes. Her acclaimed performance garnered her a return invitation for the 2026 ceremony scheduled for this Sunday, January 11.
Last year, Glaser ignited a bidding war between Netflix and Hulu after her “Someday You’ll Die” special on HBO received widespread acclaim. Following her success, Hulu ultimately won the bidding contest for her next project.
In October, she filmed her Hulu special at the Fabulous Fox Theater in her hometown, St. Louis, MO. The premiere date for the special has yet to be revealed.
Why Casinos Favor Comedians
Prominent stand-up comedians like Nikki Glaser are highly valued by casino resorts. Their performances require significantly less production than musical acts or Broadway tours, minimizing the need for extensive back-of-house support and reducing the number of complimentary services needed for performers and their teams.
Performers such as Glaser attract numerous visitors to the casino, many of whom partake in dining, drinks, and, ideally, gambling. Casinos also gain from overnight stays, resort fees, parking charges, concessions, and shopping opportunities.
