New Kids On The Block are coming back to Las Vegas, with a whole lot of dates. But there is one very special NKOTB date this week.

Las Vegas Celebrates New Kids On The Block Day April 24

Get ready to “Hang Tough” with local Las Vegas businesses. They are celebrating New Kids On The Block Day, Thursday, April 24. 

Las Vegas will honor the multi-platinum pop icons with special promotions, giveaways and NKOTB-themed activities leading up to their very first Las Vegas residency.

“The Right Stuff,” launches at Dolby Live at Park MGM on June 20, 2025, for a run of 24 shows, through February 2026.

On April 24, 1989, Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis declared the day "New Kids On The Block Day” to celebrate the band's impact on pop culture. It marks the anniversary of the band's release of 'Hangin’ Tough.' Since then, the day has been celebrated annually with special events and promotions. And now Las Vegas is in the mix!

'Blockheads' are invited to celebrate New Kids On The Block Day in Las Vegas at Bliss Dance, located in The Park between Park MGM and New York-New York, on Thursday, April 24 from noon to 3 p.m. There will be ticket giveaways, great photo opps and a special appearance from 'Block-E -The Blockhead,' the official NKOTB mascot.
