Pushes the boundaries of entertainment

  • Across nearly 300 resorts and hotels, the city has exceptional venues that accommodate the legendary artists visiting the city. 
  • Imagine a stage that can turn vertical, built atop a 50-foot-deep abyss with acrobats jumping on moving platforms. The city’s famous KÀ Theatre has been shocking audiences with its technical innovations since 2005.
  • Or picture a 366-foot tall spherical dome, designed to seat up to 20,000 spectators, with a 360-degree screen that wraps around the structure. That’s the Sphere, a revolutionary entertainment arena inaugurated in 2023.
  • Entertainers at Vegas not only envision but also fabricate these alternate realities. In Las Vegas, even the sky is not the limit!
Casino in Las Vegas

A man-made marvel

  • Until 100 years ago, Las Vegas was nothing but a desert-bound railroad service center. Quickly, it became the only major city in the US that has grown entirely in the 20th century. 
  • This remarkable transformation was made possible by a concerted effort from hoteliers, artists, and the state. In its golden era, as hotels and casinos began to populate the city, Hollywood stars, and well-known celebrities began to brighten the nights. 
  • Today, the Strip hosts a multi-billion-dollar industry built on the backbone of its live entertainment productions. 
  • Whether you’re visiting with your loving family or enjoying an unbounded adventure with friends, the city will leave you with an unforgettable memory for a lifetime.

What is the best way to buy Las Vegas show tickets?

Las Vegas is a coveted destination for tourists from all over the world, but that doesn’t mean you have to shell out big bucks to have a good time. Booking online can eliminate the long queues and ensure you get the best deals in a few easy steps.

Choose the convenience of making plans from anywhere in the world and unlock the best deals and discounts at the click of a button.
  • Plan ahead: As large masses of visitors swarm the city nearly all parts of the year, it’s better to plan your visit so you don’t miss out on preferred dates. If you’re booking off-peak season, make your purchase 1-4 weeks in advance depending on the popularity of the show/artist. 
  • During peak season, make bookings 3-4 months out to get the best seats. Subscribe to our newsletters and alerts to ensure you don’t miss discounts and early bird prices.
Book online
  • Timing is everything: Weekdays, matinee hours, and off-season months can often have a huge impact on prices. Mondays and Wednesdays can have tickets as low as half the peak-hour pricing.
  • Attractive packages: Many hotels and casinos offer packages with dining, sightseeing, backstage tours, and performances at discounted costs. You can also club 2 or more experiences together to get a lower package cost or make group bookings in advance.
  • Previews or early performances: If you’re looking for more affordable options, look out for preview shows or opening nights that have a lower ticket price. Many preview shows offer discounts worth 10$ or higher during previews.

Las Vegas big bus
  • Airport: McCarran International Airport (LAS) is just 2.7 miles from the Strip, with several international and domestic flights. Many hotels offer their shuttle service to and from the airport for all visitors.
  • Walk: The Las Vegas Strip is pedestrian-friendly, making walking a convenient way to walk across most major hotels and destinations.
  • Monorail: Along the east side of the Strip the Las Vegas Monorail runs a quick and efficient way to travel between major hotels and casinos.

  • Taxi: Taxi stands are available outside major hotels, casinos, and the airport, and offer direct connectivity around the city.
Dress code

Most venues don’t enforce a strict dress code, however, there are a few guidelines to keep in mind when deciding your attire for the day -

  • For most venues, smart casuals or semi-formal attire is a common style. Don’t shy away from a little print or color to sizzle up your outfit.
  • If you’re opting for a nightclub or fine dining experience, expect a more sophisticated dress code. Cocktail attire and dressier outfits are preferred at high-end venues.
  • When attending special premieres or black-tie events, tuxedos, evening gowns, and some shimmer can be spotted easily. 
  • Carry an extra layer as most venues are air-conditioned and run cold.
  • You’ll likely be walking or standing for considerable periods, so it’s better to choose shoes that are comfortable yet stylish. 
  • Skip carrying bulky items and accessories that can make long waits cumbersome.
luxury dinner
  • Most venues hosting shows have a bar or restaurant on the premises. Few hotels may also house a food court or fine dining restaurant. Check the venue page for details on concessions.
  • Plan to keep at least 1.5 to 2 hours for a relaxed dining experience. If you’re grabbing a bite before the show, make sure to reach the venue at least 30 minutes before the showtime to avoid delays.
  • Make reservations in advance as popular restaurants near show venues often fill up quickly.
  • If you’re in the city for the first time, don’t miss the signature Las Vegas steakhouse experience. Choose from a wide range of options including Golden Steer, Hugo’s Cellar, Bazaar Meat, and Delmonico Steakhouse.
  • Several places in the city offer diverse cuisines. Try Esther’s Kitchen for modern Italian cuisine, enjoy Japanese delicacies at Chinatown, or a burst of Thai flavors at Lotus Siam, to name just a few.
audience in theater
  • Arrive early: It goes to say that the Strip is nearly always filled with tourists. It’s always better to arrive early to get the best of the experience. Most venues will close the doors or seat you at their discretion if you reach the venue after the scheduled time. 
  • Prioritise comfort: If you’re carrying a large item (like a suitcase or accessory), check with the hotel staff for provisions to store them on the premises or nearby.
  • Avoid distractions: A lot of the venues in the city are magnificent and warrant a picture. Make sure to arrive early so you can capture the moments as recording a performance in any form is not permitted during a show.
  • Food & beverage: Snacks purchased at the venue’s concession stands are generally allowed inside the premises. However, avoid smelly or noisy items to avoid causing discomfort to fellow visitors.
  • Respect the performers: Unless otherwise specified, refrain from explicit acts of appreciation (except clapping).
