Chloe Hilliard brings her stand-up to the Comedy Cellar at Rio Hotel & Casino through September 6 with nightly performances and tickets starting at $22 when using code CCVEGAS
Chloe Hilliard is taking over the Comedy Cellar stage at Rio Hotel & Casino this week, delivering her signature stand-up in a city that expects nothing less than top-tier entertainment. Her run continues through Sunday, September 6, with two shows nightly at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.—a schedule that puts her in the heart of the Las Vegas comedy circuit during one of the busiest visitor stretches of the year.
Hilliard is not appearing alone. The lineup features Dan Naturman, James Mattern, Lewis Dix Jr., and Mark Cohen, all sharing the bill at the world-famous Comedy Cellar, a venue known for importing New York’s comedy energy directly to the Strip. The Rio’s Comedy Cellar has built a reputation for booking comics with national television credits and a sharp edge, and this week’s roster fits that mold precisely.
What Sets Hilliard Apart
Chloe Hilliard’s resume is stacked with appearances on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Last Comic Standing, Comedy Central’s This Week at the Comedy Cellar, and the docuseries Dark Humor. She’s also contributed as a staff writer for Wilmore, a limited Peacock political late-night series, and appeared on The Nightly Show. Her material blends social commentary with personal storytelling, a style that resonates with both locals and visitors looking for more than recycled punchlines.
Las Vegas audiences are notoriously tough, but Hilliard’s national profile and writing chops give her a distinct advantage. The Comedy Cellar’s format—rotating comics, tight sets, and a no-nonsense approach—means every performer has to deliver. Hilliard’s inclusion signals the venue’s ongoing commitment to booking comics who can hold their own in front of a crowd that’s seen it all.
Ticket Details and Visitor Logistics
Tickets for the Comedy Cellar at Rio start at $22 plus applicable fees, with the code CCVEGAS unlocking the lowest available price. Seats can be reserved online at riolasvegas.com/shows/comedy-cellar or ticketmaster.com, by phone at 866-746-7671, or in person at the Rio Box Office between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. The nightly schedule—7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.—caters to both early diners and late-night crowds, making it a flexible option for visitors planning a full evening on or near the Strip.
For those unfamiliar with the venue, the Comedy Cellar at Rio is modeled after its legendary New York counterpart, offering an intimate setting and a rotating cast of comics. The club’s location inside the Rio Hotel & Casino places it just off the main Strip corridor, providing easy access for both hotel guests and those coming from other resorts.
Why This Booking Matters for Las Vegas Comedy
Las Vegas has no shortage of comedy options, but the Comedy Cellar’s approach—curating lineups with national talent and keeping the format tight—has helped it carve out a loyal following. Booking Chloe Hilliard, with her blend of television experience and sharp writing, is a calculated move to keep the venue’s reputation strong among both locals and tourists. The presence of established comics like Dan Naturman and Mark Cohen alongside Hilliard only reinforces the Cellar’s status as a serious comedy destination.
In a city where entertainment turnover is relentless, the Comedy Cellar’s ability to consistently attract comics with real credits is a direct challenge to venues that rely on nostalgia or celebrity alone. Hilliard’s run this week is a reminder that Las Vegas comedy is most compelling when it brings in working comics who are still building their careers, not just coasting on past fame. For visitors and locals alike, this is the kind of booking that keeps the city’s comedy scene relevant and competitive.
