Akon was in Las Vegas Chinatown this week for a private CES 2026 after-party, according to multiple sources and corroborating social media footage that surfaced shortly after the event.
Sources tell ChinatownVegas.com that the global music star and entrepreneur attended an invite-only gathering held on the evening of January 7, 2026, at the Chinatown speakeasy Más Por Favor. The event reportedly brought together a mix of tech executives, creatives, and industry insiders visiting Las Vegas for CES.
ChinatownVegas.com was not in attendance at the private event. However, shortly after the gathering concluded, photos and short video clips began circulating on social media that appear to show Akon inside the venue, interacting with guests and posing for photos. The footage aligns with what sources had shared earlier in the evening.
Earlier that night, a black Rolls-Royce limousine was also spotted arriving in the area, drawing attention from nearby businesses and patrons. Sources have since indicated the vehicle was part of Akon’s transportation detail.

The appearance underscores Las Vegas Chinatown’s growing role as a destination for private, high-profile events during major conventions, as nightlife, dining, and hospitality in the district continue to attract attention beyond the Strip.
