Live Performances in Las Vegas

Nowhere puts on a show quite like Las Vegas. This is where the world's top entertainers get to shine, so prepare to be dazzled!

Live entertainment has been a huge part of the Vegas experience since Elvis and Frank Sinatra took to the stage back in the swinging '60s. Today, the city puts on an eclectic selection of performances - all with plenty of that trademark razzle dazzle.

Bag yourself tickets to one of the Strip's hit shows; the hotels and casinos here host some big-name stars, as well as plenty of old-school Rat Pack tribute acts.

Las Vegas loves a good festival, so keep an eye out for events happening during your stay. Whether you're a music lover or a foodie, there's a festival to win you over.

Or why not explore Sin City's adult side with a cheeky burlesque show? You'll also find plenty of adults-only comedy and magic shows for some late-night fun.

Hit Shows

  • Sit back and enjoy the dazzling acrobatic feats of Cirque du Soleil. This world-famous circus act really knows how to put on a show.
  • For a good old-fashioned showbiz extravaganza, you can't beat Celine Dion at Caesars Palace - one of the Strip's longest running performances.
  • Magic gets a modern twist from Mat Franco at the LINQ. He won season nine of 'America's Got Talent' with his spectacular tricks.

Festivals

  • This one's for the foodies - don't miss May's Epicurean Affair, an epic food festival showcasing the best of the Las Vegas restaurant scene.
  • For three glorious days every September, downtown Las Vegas is home to the Life is Beautiful festival - a celebration of music, arts and having a gorgeously good time.

Adult Shows
