Arts and Entertainment in Las Vegas and the Nevada desert

Things to do / Travel Guide

Las Vegas made its name in entertainment when legends like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr., used to haunt its showrooms. The trend evolved to the current version that is simply nirvana to anyone wanting to be dazzled, dumbfounded, thrilled, and amazed!

Nothing can top the entertainment offerings found in Las Vegas. From set shows, to magic acts, to musicals and comedy shows, to showgirls, Las Vegas entertainment is one of a kind.

Set shows, like three different versions of Cirque du Soleil, and show-stopping performers like Celine Dion, Elton John, and Wayne Newton, pack in crowds nightly. It's a good bet that whoever your favorite entertainers are, they will at some point headline at one of the many venues in Las Vegas.

If magic tickles your fancy, there's no place like Las Vegas. Regular appearances by the likes of Penn & Teller, David Copperfield, Lance Burton, and many other Houdinis-in-the-making and masters of legerdemain, will keep you mystified, amazed, and baffled.

For those who want to see the more traditional Las Vegas-style shows, compete with showgirls, crooners, and variety acts, do not despair - there are still plenty to be found. Classic shows like Follies Bergere, Jubilee, and Splash, have been drawing audiences for years and are sure to please.

The only things as impressive as the entertainment lineup are the venues the shows take place in. Multi-million dollar theaters line the Las Vegas Strip to provide patrons with state-of-the-art lights, sound, special effects, and, of course, comfort.
Places, everyone, its show time!
