Create a Fun Residential Halloween Party Right at Home

A Different Way to Celebrate Halloween in Las Vegas

For generations, Halloween has meant one thing:

Children walking from house to house collecting candy.

But more Las Vegas families are also looking for ways to celebrate Halloween where their children can stay together with friends and family in a planned, supervised residential setting.

An at-home Halloween party offers another option.

Instead of spending the entire evening walking unfamiliar streets and visiting dozens of homes, parents can invite friends, classmates, neighbors and relatives to one location and create their own Halloween celebration.

Add a Halloween inflatable and suddenly the backyard becomes the party.

Turn Your Home Into Halloween Headquarters

Imagine your children inviting their closest friends over after school or early Halloween evening.

When everyone arrives, there’s a Halloween bounce house in the yard.

Music is playing.

The kids are wearing costumes.

Popcorn is popping.

Cotton candy is being made.

There are carnival games set up around the property.

Instead of Halloween lasting only as long as it takes to walk around the neighborhood, you’ve created several hours of entertainment.

Parents can still provide candy.

Kids still get to dress up.

You can still decorate the house.

But the celebration takes place primarily in an environment you’ve planned.

Keep the Celebration Centered Around People You Know

For some parents, one of the appealing parts of a residential Halloween party is knowing who their children are celebrating with.

• You determine the guest list.
• You know the adults supervising the party.
• You decide what activities are available.
• You decide when the party starts and finishes.

And the children can spend most of their time actually playing together rather than walking from house to house.

That doesn’t mean traditional trick-or-treating has to disappear.

Some families may choose to do both.

Take the children around your own neighborhood for a short period, then bring everyone back to the house for the main party.

Halloween Inflatables Make the Party

An inflatable immediately gives children something active to do.

A Halloween-themed bounce house also becomes part of the decorations.

Instead of a basic backyard with Halloween props, the inflatable creates a large visual centerpiece.

For bigger yards and larger parties, consider an obstacle course or combination inflatable.

Older children may enjoy competitive interactive games while younger kids can use a bounce house.

Add Carnival Games Around the Yard

You can turn different areas of your property into entertainment stations.

Place throwing games on one side of the yard.

Create a ring toss area.

Add baseball, soccer or Frisbee challenges.

Set up a few chairs nearby for parents.

The kids naturally rotate from one activity to another instead of repeatedly asking, “What are we doing next?”

Have Your Own Halloween Carnival Food

One of the easiest ways to make a residential party feel special is concession food.

Add a popcorn machine.

Make cotton candy.

Serve snow cones.

You can create Halloween-themed colors and serving tables around each station.

Kids love watching cotton candy being made almost as much as eating it.

Hold a Costume Contest

Once everyone has arrived, turn costume judging into part of the event.

Create categories such as funniest costume, most creative costume, best homemade costume, scariest costume and best group costume.

Take pictures of each contestant in front of the Halloween inflatable.

That creates a built-in photo backdrop while preserving memories of the party.

Add Glow Games After Sunset

October evenings in Las Vegas can be beautiful for outdoor events.

Once the sun goes down, bring out glow bracelets, necklaces and LED accessories.

You can incorporate music and supervised nighttime games before finishing the evening with Halloween treats.

A Halloween Experience Instead of Just Candy

Children will probably get plenty of candy on Halloween.

What they remember years later is usually the experience.

• They remember jumping with their friends.
• They remember competing in carnival games.
• They remember costumes, music and laughing together.
• They remember everyone coming to their house for the Halloween party.

An inflatable transforms Halloween from simply collecting candy into an actual event.
