George Lopez Returns to MGM Grand for Two Comedy Shows in June

George Lopez Brings the Heat Back to Vegas

Let me tell you, George Lopez is coming back to Las Vegas and I'm absolutely here for it. The comedy legend just locked in two shows at the David Copperfield Theater at MGM Grand on Friday, June 19 and Saturday, June 20. Both shows kick off at 9 p.m., and honestly, if you‘re not already planning to be there, what are you even doing with your life?

Real talk - Lopez has been killing it lately. His latest special “Muy Católico” dropped on Amazon Prime last year to serious acclaim, and he just wrapped up three seasons of “Lopez vs Lopez” with his daughter on NBC. The man knows how to stay relevant while keeping his comedy sharp and unapologetic. That’s exactly the kind of energy Vegas needs more of.

Why This Matters for Vegas Comedy

MGM Grand's Aces of Comedy series has been absolutely crushing it, and adding Lopez to the 2026 lineup is a power move. This isn‘t just another comedian rolling through town - this is a cultural force who’s been breaking barriers for Latino performers for decades. His four HBO specials and Grammy-nominated albums prove he‘s got the chops to fill that theater twice.

I’m not gonna lie, the David Copperfield Theater is the perfect venue for Lopez‘s style. It’s intimate enough that his razor-sharp observations about family, culture, and life hit exactly right, but big enough for his bigger-than-life personality to fill the room. Plus, being 18+ only means he can really let loose without holding back.

The Bigger Picture

What I love about this booking is that it shows MGM Grand isn‘t playing it safe with their comedy lineup. They’ve also got Chris Distefano, Jay Leno, and Tim Allen coming through this year, which tells me they‘re serious about keeping their comedy game diverse and interesting. Lopez brings something different to the table - he’s not afraid to tackle real issues while making you laugh until your sides hurt.

You can grab tickets right now through MGM Grand's website or Ticketmaster, and honestly, I‘d move fast on this one. Lopez has a way of selling out Vegas shows because people know they’re getting the real deal - no watered-down material, no playing it safe. Just pure, unfiltered comedy from someone who‘s earned every bit of his legendary status.

Don’t sleep on this one, Vegas. George Lopez in an intimate theater setting? That's comedy gold waiting to happen.
