Few comedians are currently bigger than Nikki Glaser, a 2025 Grammy and Golden Globe nominee and winner of the Writers Guild of America’s Best Comedy/Variety Special.
Glaser recently announced her next tour, called “The Stunning Tour,” and several stops at casinos are planned. The Golden Globes host, who also recently hosted “Saturday Night Live,” is embarking on her fifth major tour, which will extend into 2027.
Before Glaser kicks off “The Stunning Tour,” she’s playing a series of dates in Las Vegas at Caesars Palace’s Colosseum with comedian David Spade. Shows are booked for January 16-17 and May 22-23.
June is when “The Stunning Tour” begins in earnest. After shows in London, the UK, and Ireland, Glaser is set to return stateside by way of Atlantic City.
Glaser’s Tour Stops
Glaser will begin her North America leg in Atlantic City at the Hard Rock Etess Arena on August 1. She’ll travel south to Maryland the next night to play The Hall at Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland in Hanover.
She then heads north to Canada, where she’ll play the Fallsview Casino on August 8 before returning to the US via Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut on August 14. Glaser and Spade return to Caesars Palace Las Vegas for shows on September 4 and 6. She then returns to “The Stunning Tour” on September 11-12 at the Ilani Casino in Washington.
Additional casino stops for Glaser include Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood (September 18) and Yaamava’ Resort Casino in Highland, Calif., on November 19. For tickets and more information, click here.
Glaser, named the “Comedian of the Year” in 2024 by The New York Times, made history in January 2025 by becoming the first woman to host the Golden Globes solo. She received near-unanimous praise for her performance, leading to her return for the 2026 gala, set for this Sunday, January 11.
Last year, Glaser caused a bidding war between Netflix and Hulu. Following major accolades for her “Someday You’ll Die” special on HBO, her second special on the premium cable network, the streaming companies tried to outbid one another before Hulu ultimately emerged victorious.
In October, Glaser taped her Hulu special at the Fabulous Fox Theater in her hometown of St. Louis, Mo. Hulu hasn’t yet announced a premiere date.
Casinos Love Comedians
Premier standups like Glaser are cherished acts for casino resorts. Such performers come with significantly smaller productions compared with musicians and Broadway national tours. As a result, casinos require fewer back-of-house workers, and need to issue fewer comps for performers and their entourages.
Acts like Glaser bring in thousands of visitors to the casino, many of whom will dine, drink, and, ideally, gamble. Casinos also benefit from overnight stays with resort fees, parking charges, concessions, and retail shopping.
