Best Musical Shows in Las Vegas
Toe Tapping is Encouraged
Vegas runs on live music. From masked dance crews and jukebox musicals to dead-on tributes to Elvis, Motown, and Michael Jackson, the city’s musical shows cover every era and nearly every artist worth hearing. Done right, a music show is simply the songs you love played live — by performers who’ve devoted their lives to nailing them.
This guide sorts every musical show in town by what you’re in the mood for — a big production, a specific artist, or a brunch with a band — so you know exactly where to look. Looking specifically for tribute acts? There’s a dedicated best tribute shows guide too.
Table of Contents
First: what kind of musical show are you after?

- Rock legends — the Stones, the Bee Gees, yacht rock, and real touring acts.
- Pop icons — Michael Jackson, Prince, the Beatles, Elton John.
- Motown & soul — the Detroit songbook, live and in harmony.

Production musicals & dance shows
Big-stage spectacles built around music and movement — original productions, not tributes.
Jabbawockeez
MGM Grand · All Ages
The masked hip-hop crew that made dance crews famous, in their high-energy MGM production — choreography, comedy, and LED visuals set to a wall-to-wall soundtrack. All-ages and one of the most universally crowd-pleasing shows in town.
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.
Menopause The Musical
Harrah’s · 12+
A jukebox musical comedy about four women bonding over ‘the change,’ told through 25 parody songs rewritten from ’60s-’80s hits. A long-running crowd favorite, especially with groups of women out for a fun night.
Zombie Burlesque
Planet Hollywood · 16+
A campy, horror-themed burlesque comedy revue set to retro ’50s and ’60s music, with zombie characters and plenty of cheek. 16+, gleefully weird, and a cult favorite for groups wanting something offbeat.
Elvis & the Rat Pack
The classic-Vegas songbook the city was built on — the King and the cocktail-era crooners.
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 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.
Rock legends
Strut, volume, and the riffs you know by heart — tributes to the Stones and Bee Gees, plus real touring acts.
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.
THE JETS 80’s and 90’s Experience
Planet Hollywood · All Ages
Not a tribute — the actual Grammy-nominated group The Jets, live, running their 80s and 90s hits at the Saxe Theater. The real-deal nostalgia concert for fans who grew up on ‘Crush on You’ and ‘You Got It All.’
Pop icons
The biggest names in pop, from concert-style tributes to a Cirque spectacle.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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, divas & country
Singer-songwriters and powerhouse voices — Billy Joel and Neil Diamond, Tina and Whitney, Selena, and a country night.
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
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.
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.
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.
Late-night & brunch music shows
Music with a meal or a midnight party — the shows that double as a night (or morning) out.
Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce
Mandalay Bay · 21+
A late-night rock-and-roll burlesque cabaret at Mandalay Bay — live band, dancers, and DJ sets in a moody lounge. 21+ and more nightlife than theater; the live music carries the party well past midnight.
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.
Faaabulous! The Ultimate Drag Brunch Show
Rio · 12+
An all-live-singing drag brunch at the Rio — no lip-syncing, just real vocals, comedy, bottomless mimosas, and a queen meet-and-greet. A funny, high-energy musical brunch for a celebrating crowd.
How to choose — by mood
- Want a big production? Michael Jackson ONE (Cirque) and Jabbawockeez are the marquee, all-ages spectacles.
- Chasing one artist? Pick your lane — Elvis (Spirit of the King), Motown (Soul of Motown), the Beatles (Twist & Shout), Prince (Purple Reign), and more.
- Want to dance and sing along? Australian Bee Gees, Soul of Motown, and The Jets are built for it.
- Out with the group for a laugh? Menopause The Musical, Zombie Burlesque, and the drag and brunch shows lean comedy.
- Hunting value and atmosphere? Many of the best play intimate off-Strip rooms (Alexis Park, Neonopolis) — smaller venues, strong performances.
One note: most musical shows are family-friendly and all-ages, but a handful skew older — Purple Reign and Zombie Burlesque are 16+, and a few (Yacht Rock, Chase Brown’s Vegas Country, Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce) are 18+ or 21+. Check each show’s rating before you bring the kids.
