Production Shows (Long-Running)

  • Cirque du Soleil O at the Bellagio — The flagship Las Vegas show. Water-based acrobatics and choreography at the highest level. $100–200.
  • Penn & Teller at the Rio — The best magic show in Las Vegas. 40 years of performing together, still genuinely inventive. $60–100.
  • Blue Man Group at Luxor — High-energy, audience-participation performance art. Excellent for groups. $60–80.
  • David Copperfield at MGM Grand — Old-school Vegas magic showmanship at its peak. $70–100.
  • Absinthe at Caesars Palace — Adults-only cirque/cabaret hybrid. Shocking, funny, and technically extraordinary. $100–140.

Comedy

  • Comedy Cellar at the Rio — National touring comedians nightly. The late show (midnight) is adults-only and unfiltered. $30–50.
  • Brad Garrett's Comedy Club at MGM — Intimate room, consistently booked talent. $30–45.
  • Laugh Factory at Tropicana — Daily shows with drop-in sets from touring comics. $20–35.
