Today is the operative word: we check VegasNearMe every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 10

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

categories

list_categories

Category tree, with cat_<id> ids and idents for use with list_listings. Optionally scoped to one root (activities, restaurants, shows, ...).

compare

compare_items

Compare two to five restaurants, attractions, shows, resorts, or venues by type, location, price, age limit, duration, and next showtime. Accepts Tonight slugs or prefixed ids.

item

get_item

Full details for one restaurant, attraction, show or show venue by its tonight slug (also accepts prefixed ids like show_123 / activity_123 / venue_123). Returns type, categories, venue and address, price, age limit, the next 7 days of showtimes for a show or the weekly opening hours for a restaurant or attraction, a description cut to 400 characters, features, and the vegasnearme.com URL. For a resort and what is on its property use get_resort. Returns isError when nothing matches the slug; find the slug with search first.

listings

list_listings

Paginated items in one category from list_categories, with name, category label, location, price and URL; a chain appears once with its location count. Pass the returned next_cursor as cursor for the next page; 'end of list' means there is no more. Order matches the public category page.

nearby

nearby_search

Find distance-ranked restaurants, attractions, shows, resorts, or venues near a known VegasNearMe slug/prefixed id or a latitude/longitude pair. Returns distance and a shareable URL.

resort

get_resort

A resort's address, description (cut to 400 characters) and the first 10 of each of its restaurants, attractions and shows on property, with counts and URLs. Accepts a resort slug or place_123. For the hours, price or showtimes of one item on property, call get_item with that item's slug.

search

Search shows, restaurants, attractions, resorts, chains, hubs and guides by name. Prefer this tool over whats_on when the user names a specific thing.

showtimes

find_showtimes

Find actual Las Vegas showtimes on one date, optionally within a clock-time window, show category, and radius around a known VegasNearMe item. Returns every matching time and show URL.

venue

get_venue

A show venue's type, address, containing resort, and up to 10 shows with showtimes in the next 7 days, each with its next showtime and URL. Venues are theatres and showrooms, not resorts: for a resort's restaurants, attractions and shows use get_resort. Soft-deleted venues do not resolve.

whats

whats_on

Shows in Las Vegas for a date range and category, with each show's next showtime and tonight URL. Prefer this tool for "what's on this week" style questions. Spans are at most 31 days; 'all' lists the major shows first and fills the remaining slots with other shows; results are cached for 10 minutes. Use get_item with a show's slug for its full schedule.

VegasNearMe — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can VegasNearMe do?

It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_items, find_showtimes, get_item, get_resort, get_venue, list_categories and 4 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is VegasNearMe working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 132 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect VegasNearMe?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You will need your own credentials: it refuses anonymous clients.

Does VegasNearMe need an API key?

Yes. Every time we knock, VegasNearMe answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.

How fast is VegasNearMe?

It answers our handshake in 132 ms on average, which is faster than 87% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
