Top Popular Shows to Attend in Las Vegas

Las Vegas used to be world famous for its shows. Everybody who was anybody in show business wanted to play Vegas and see her or his names in the glow of the neon lights. Everyone remember the name of the famous Rat Pack that played the joints of Sin City and defined much of what class and style were supposed to be. Of course, nowadays the shows have taken a bit of a backseat to the gambling experience, which is evidenced by the fact that the casinos are being expanded while tickets to the shows have become bargaining chips to bring patrons into the doors.

Of course, this is not to say that there are not some famous acts playing in Vegas and as a matter of fact on many a travelers itinerary is the line item that states to take in one or another of the most well known headliners. Here is a list of the top popular shows to attend in Las Vegas:

1. Who has not heard of the Cirque du Soleil? Tickets to their various productions have always been coveted, and with titles such as O, KA, Zumanity, and Mystere, it is no wonder that the audiences keep coming back for more.

2. If you are more into humor, you might enjoy Rita Rudner. Originally a headliner for the New York New York, she has since moved to Harrahs. If you like a little bit of slight of hand, there is always the amazing duo known as Penn & Teller. A permanent fixture at the Rio, you will enjoy a show that has a bit of adult humor, some flying knives, ropes, as well as ducks. What more do you need to know that this is an explosively good time? If your humor is a bit more of the slapstick kind, then Carrot Top might be your man. Check out the Luxor for tickets to his show.

3. Adult shows abound in Las Vegas. Women will enjoy the Thunder From Down Under which is essentially nothing more than a collection of rather well exercised male specimens who will dance and move to the music at the Excalibur. Their fame has spread and women from far and wide are coming to see this spectacle. The men will probably appreciate the show Skintight which features topless acts that dance well choreographed acts at the Harrahs, although there are plenty of other adult themed shows available as well.

4. Magic is of course one of the biggest draws. While Penn & Teller are more comedians than magicians, if you are in the mood for a truly famous magical great, then you will want to visit the Monte Carlo and its resident magician Lance Burton. Illusionist par excellence, he does the slight of hand better than anyone else. This is also a wonderful show for the children! Another Vegas great is Steve Wyrick at the Aladdin.

5. Music and great productions are always sought after, and Las Vegas has their fair share. Celine Dion is probably the most famous of the all. Caesars Palace has gone to great lengths to ensure that her show would be the extravaganza it is billed to be. Considered to be a bona fide pop diva, it is not surprising that people are anxiously standing in line to get a glimpse of her. The Blue Man Group is another feature show that has many raving. Their music, performance, and amazing visual effects may be seen at The Venetian where they are billed to perform.

As you can see, there are so many top rated shows in Las Vegas that it may be hard to choose. In addition to the foregoing, it is not only the stationary acts that present a huge draw, but also the comedians and other performers who are adding Las Vegas to their touring schedule that make the citys nightlife so entertaining.
