Las Vegas Entertainment: Concerts, Theater, Adult Revues, Comedy, Variety Shows

Las Vegas entertainment paved the way for 'Vegas' to become its own adjective. Be it concerts, musicals, theater productions, comedy, magic, variety shows, adult revues, or tributes and impersonators, Las Vegas shows are fantastical, spectacular, and over-the-top in ways that are all distinctly Vegas.

Las Vegas theater is practically synonymous with Cirque du Soleil given five permanent productions: O at Bellagio, The Beatles LOVE at The Mirage, KA at MGM Grand, Zumanity at New York-New York, Mystere at Treasure Island. Delirium, a touring show, is an occasional sixth show by Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas. Equally a must-see are Phantom – The Las Vegas Spectacular and Blue Man Group, both at The Venetian, Le Reve by Cirque's own Franco Dragone and Monty Python's Spamalot, both at Wynn.

Other worthwhile musicals and theater productions are Mamma Mia! at Mandalay Bay, The Fashionistas at Aladdin, Tony n' Tina's Wedding at Rio, Menopause, The Musical at Las Vegas Hilton, Forever Plaid at Gold Coast, and Tournament of Kings at Excalibur. Aladdin's V – The Ultimate Variety Show, Bally's Jubilee! and The Price Is Right, Sahara's The Scintas, Stratosphere's Viva Las Vegas, Flamingo's Society of Seven with Lani Misalucha are all Las Vegas variety shows done proud.

Celine Dion and Elton John at Caesars Palace, Barry Manilow at Las Vegas Hilton, and Toni Braxton at Flamingo have been among the latest biggest headliners for Las Vegas concerts, complete with merchandise stores within the casino hotels. House of Blues at Mandalay Bay and The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel remain to be the most rockin' concert venues while The Mirage's Danny Gans and Harrah's Clint Holmes are still Las Vegas entertainers extraordinaire.

Luxor's Carrot Top and Improv at Harrah's should interest you in Las Vegas comedy, then Excalibur's Anthony Cools and Louie Anderson, Aladdin's Comedy Pet Theater, Flamingo's George Wallace. Las Vegas magic shows are led by the eccentric Penn & Teller at Rio and sensational David Copperfield at MGM Grand, followed by Harrah's Mac King, Aladdin's Nathan Burton, The Orleans's Rick Thomas, Tropicana's Dirk Arthur, Sahara's The Amazing Johnathan.

Let Tropicana's Folies Berger, the longest-running Las Vegas show, introduce you to Las Vegas revues, segueing to MGM Grand's sensual La Femme straight from Paris and Luxor's sizzling Fantasy with Cris Judd and Eddie Garcia moves. Rio's ass-kickin' Erocktica and Harrah's saddled-up Bareback mix songs and thongs, Stratosphere's Bite is bloody sexy, Riviera's Crazy Girls Fantasy Revue has old-school sassy showgirls.

Las Vegas adult shows for ladies include Rio's Chippendales, Excalibur's Thunder from Down Under, Riviera's American Storm as seen on VH1's Strip Search. Las Vegas tributes and impersonators include Aladdin's Fab Four Mania, Stratosphere's American Superstars, Riviera's Barbra and Frank, Imperial Palace's Legends in Concert, Greek Isles's Rat Pack Is Back.

From the heydays of Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley to Cirque du Soleil and Wayne Newton, up to the era of Celine Dion and The Beatles tributes, Las Vegas entertainment never fails to put on a show. Headliners and staples bring the house down at Las Vegas casino hotels, and long after the stages have emptied for the night, revues and burlesque sets keep Sin City ticking until it's showtime again.
