Best Tribute Shows in Las Vegas
Hits Me Baby One More Time…
Las Vegas has always run on tributes. Long before residencies by the actual stars, the city made its name on dead-on recreations of the legends — Elvis and the Rat Pack, then Motown, the British Invasion, and every pop icon since. Done well, a tribute is less impersonation than resurrection: the songs you love, played live, by people who have devoted their lives to getting it exactly right.
This guide sorts Vegas’s tribute shows by the artist and era they celebrate, so whether you’re chasing Elvis, the Stones, Motown, or Michael Jackson, you know exactly where to look — and which rooms are worth the trip off the Strip.
Table of Contents
First: what kind of tribute are you after?
Vegas tributes sort cleanly by who they celebrate. Pick your artist or era and the choice gets easy.
- Elvis — the King, done several different ways.
- The Rat Pack & classic Vegas — the cocktail-era cool the city was built on.
- Rock legends — the Stones, the Bee Gees, yacht rock, and multi-act showcases.
- Pop icons — Michael Jackson, Prince, the Beatles, Elton John.
- Motown & soul — the Detroit songbook, live and in harmony.
- Piano men & singer-songwriters — Billy Joel, Neil Diamond, the Carpenters.
- Divas — Tina, Whitney, and Selena.
- Country, brunch & themed — the oddballs that don’t fit a single lane.

The Elvis tributes
You can’t have Vegas without Elvis. These keep the King’s legacy alive — from career-spanning spectacles to the room where he actually played.
Spirit of the King: The Ultimate ELVIS Show
Notoriety at Neonopolis · 3+
Vegas without an Elvis tribute would be heresy, and Spirit of the King is one of the most complete in town — a full-career run from the rockabilly kid to the white-jumpsuit Vegas legend, with the costume changes and a live band to sell it. Off-Strip at Neonopolis and family-friendly. The pick if you want the King done properly.
The King Comes Home
Westgate · 5+
An Elvis tribute staged at the Westgate — the very room where Elvis himself played 600-plus shows. That history gives this one a sense of place the others can’t match. A strong, family-friendly pick for the King.
All Shook Up
Alexis Park · All Ages
A straightforward, all-ages Elvis tribute with a live band running the biggest hits in an intimate Alexis Park room. A solid, no-frills pick for the King off the Strip.
The Rat Pack & classic Vegas
The cocktail-era cool that built the city — Sinatra and the gang, plus a love letter to old-school Vegas itself.
The Rat Pack is Back!
Tuscany Suites · 12+
Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Joey Bishop, reassembled in a Copa Room built to feel like the Sands in its prime. Live big-band swing, loose comedy, and cocktail-era cool. About the closest you’ll get to 1960s Vegas as it actually was.
Sinatra Live! Starring Michael Sinatra
Alexis Park · All Ages
An intimate supper-club take on the Sinatra songbook, performed by Michael Sinatra in the small Alexis Park showroom off-Strip. Less spectacle, more crooner up close — for fans who want the songs and the swagger without a big production around them.
VEGAS! THE SHOW
Planet Hollywood · All Ages
Less a single-artist tribute than a love letter to classic Vegas itself — Rat Pack, Elvis, Liberace, and showgirls woven into one production at Planet Hollywood. The all-ages, greatest-hits-of-Vegas-history option.
Rock legends
Strut, volume, and the riffs you know by heart — from the Stones to disco-era harmonies to smooth yacht rock.
Sin City Stones
Horseshoe · All Ages
A high-energy Rolling Stones tribute concert anchored by a genuinely uncanny Mick Jagger, in an intimate Strip room at Horseshoe. Strut, swagger, and the hits played loud — for rock fans who want to be on their feet, not in their seats.
Australian Bee Gees
Excalibur · 5+
A polished, long-running Bee Gees tribute — the falsetto harmonies and disco-era hits delivered with real musicianship at Excalibur. Crowd-pleasing and family-friendly; a reliable Saturday-Night-Fever singalong for a wide age range.
Ikons of Rock
Hard Rock Cafe · 5+
A rotating-cast rock tribute that crams Ozzy, KISS, Queen, Van Halen, Alice Cooper and more into one concert at the Hard Rock Cafe. More greatest-hits jukebox than single-artist tribute — for fans who can’t pick just one icon.
Yacht Rock Experience feat. Docksiders
The Venetian · 21+
A 21+ residency band reviving the smooth ’70s and ’80s — Michael McDonald, Hall & Oates, Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins — at 1923 inside the Venetian. Cocktails, soft-rock guilty pleasures, and zero irony. For grown-ups who secretly love this stuff (everyone does).
Wastin’ Away: The Poolside Jimmy Buffett Show
Alexis Park (poolside) · All Ages
A poolside Jimmy Buffett tribute at the Alexis Park — Margaritaville energy, tropical shirts, and the breezy hits, served outdoors. A laid-back, all-ages afternoon for Parrotheads and anyone who wants their show with a drink in hand.
Pop icons
The biggest names in pop, from a Cirque spectacle to concert-style tributes.
Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil
Mandalay Bay · 5+
Not an impersonator show — a full Cirque du Soleil production built on Michael Jackson’s original master recordings, telling his story through acrobatics, dance, and effects at Mandalay Bay. The most spectacular MJ tribute anywhere, and tribute-as-spectacle in a class of its own.
MJ Live
Harrah’s · 5+
A concert-style Michael Jackson tribute with a live band and dancers at Harrah’s — the impersonator counterpart to Cirque’s Michael Jackson ONE. If you want the moves and the hits in a straight-ahead show, this is it.
Purple Reign, THE Prince Tribute Show
Planet Hollywood · 16+
The long-running Prince tribute (running since 2001), led by Jason Tenner in a concert-style run through Prince’s catalog at Planet Hollywood’s V Theater. Funk, falsetto, and purple flair; 16+ for a grown-up rock-show vibe.
Twist & Shout: The Beatles Tribute Show
Ahern Hotel · All Ages
A full-catalog Beatles tribute — Merseybeat through Abbey Road — at the Ahern showroom. All-ages and built for singing along to songs everyone in the room already knows by heart.
Elton John & The Beatles: Made in England
LaMarre Theater · All Ages
A one-man British-rock tribute — Danny Walten covering both Elton John and the Beatles in a single set at the LaMarre Theater. Two of England’s biggest songbooks, all ages, one performer.
Sir Elton – At the Piano: The Music of Elton John
Alexis Park · All Ages
A piano-forward Elton John tribute in the intimate Pegasus Showroom off-Strip — the hits delivered from the bench, closer to a concert than a costume parade. For fans who care most about the songs and the playing.
Motown & soul
The Detroit songbook delivered with the choreography and harmonies the era demands — including a brunch edition.
Soul of Motown
Westgate · 5+
A 90-minute live Motown revue — Temptations, Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder — with the choreography and harmonies the era demands, at the Westgate Cabaret. A feel-good crowd-pleaser for a wide age range.
Motown Extreme
Motown Extreme Theater · All Ages
A Broadway-meets-concert Motown tribute (directed by Felton Pilate) running the Jackson 5, Temptations, Supremes and more with a theatrical edge. Bigger production energy than a straight revue.
All Motown
Alexis Park · All Ages
The Duchesses of Motown deliver the female side of the Detroit songbook — Supremes, Gladys Knight, Martha and the Vandellas — in an intimate Alexis Park room. A harmonies-first, feel-good Motown set.
Motown Brunch
Alexis Park · All Ages
Sunday Motown with a meal — the Supremes, Temptations, Marvin Gaye and the Jackson 5 over a two-hour brunch at the Alexis Park. Great when you want the music and the morning rolled into one.
Piano men & singer-songwriters
Hits delivered from the piano bench — warm, song-first, and easy to love.
Piano Man
Planet Hollywood · All Ages
A two-for-one dual tribute to Billy Joel and Elton John by Kyle Martin — 20-plus hits from both piano legends in one 75-minute set at Planet Hollywood. A smart pick when your group can’t choose between them.
King of Diamonds – The Neil Diamond Tribute
Alexis Park · 5+
Rob Garrett’s long-running Neil Diamond tribute, heavy on the singalongs (“Sweet Caroline,” inevitably) with storytelling between songs in the intimate Pegasus Showroom. For the Neil Diamond faithful.
Carpenters Legacy
Planet Hollywood · All Ages
An award-winning, note-faithful recreation of the Carpenters’ live sound, with Sally Olson channeling Karen Carpenter’s voice at Planet Hollywood. Nostalgic and, for fans of the era, surprisingly moving.
Divas: Tina, Whitney & Selena
Big voices and bigger personalities, celebrated by performers who can actually deliver them.
All Tina and Whitney
LaMarre Theater · All Ages
A concert-style dual tribute to Tina Turner and Whitney Houston, two powerhouse voices delivered by Carolyne Scott in a tight 65-minute set. Two divas, one show — for fans of the big-voice era.
Queen Selena
Alexis Park · All Ages
Vegas’s only dedicated Selena tribute — a bilingual celebration of Selena Quintanilla-Pérez with a full band in the Pegasus Showroom. A heartfelt pick for fans of the Queen of Tejano.
Country, brunch & themed tributes
The ones that don’t fit a single lane — country, brunch-and-a-band, and one gleefully ridiculous parody.
Chase Brown’s Vegas Country
Notoriety at Neonopolis · 21+
A high-energy country concert (21+) led by Chase Brown, spanning every decade of the genre’s hits off-Strip at Neonopolis. The pick for country fans, with a rowdy bar-show feel rather than a polished revue.
Punk Rock Brunch!
The Composers Room · All Ages
Exactly what it sounds like — Green Day, Blink-182, My Chemical Romance and Weezer over an all-you-can-eat brunch at the Composers Room. A loud, cheeky, only-in-Vegas mashup for elder emos and nostalgic millennials.
The Empire Strips Back: A Burlesque Parody
Rio (off-Strip) · 18+
A tribute of a very different kind — a Star Wars-themed burlesque parody at the Rio. Adults-only (18+), camp, and gleefully ridiculous; here for fans who want their nostalgia with a wink rather than a power ballad. More night-out novelty than music tribute, but a blast for the right crowd.
How to choose — by artist
- Want the full classic-Vegas experience? The Rat Pack is Back and Spirit of the King are the city’s heritage acts.
- Want spectacle, not impersonation? Michael Jackson ONE is a Cirque du Soleil production on a different scale from everything else here.
- Want to dance and sing along? Australian Bee Gees, Soul of Motown, and Twist & Shout are built for it.
- Hunting for value and atmosphere? Many of the best tributes play intimate off-Strip rooms (Alexis Park, Neonopolis, the Ahern) — lower-key venues, strong performances.
- Can’t pick one artist? Ikons of Rock and Piano Man each pack several legends into one show.
One note: most tribute shows are family-friendly and all-ages, but a handful skew older — Purple Reign is 16+, and a few (Yacht Rock, Chase Brown’s Vegas Country, The Empire Strips Back) are 18+ or 21+. Check each show’s rating before you bring the kids.
