Best Impersonator Shows in Las Vegas
Make it a Double (Take)…
Vegas was built on impersonators. From the legions of Elvises to the Rat Pack, the crooners, and a new wave of RuPaul’s Drag Race royalty, the city has always loved a dead-on recreation of a star. The best impersonators don’t just sound like the legend — they become them.
This guide sorts Vegas’s impersonator shows by who they channel — Elvis, the crooners, the rock and pop icons, and the drag queens — so you know exactly where to look. Many are also tribute concerts; see our best tribute shows guide for the full music-tribute lineup.

Elvis impersonators
You can’t have Vegas without Elvis — the most-impersonated star in the city, done several ways.
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 & crooners
Sinatra and the cocktail-era cool that built the Strip, plus a love letter to old-school Vegas.
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
The Stones, the Bee Gees, the Beatles, and a multi-act rock showcase — strut and volume included.
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.
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.
Pop & piano men
The biggest names in pop and the men at the piano — Michael Jackson, Prince, Elton John, Billy Joel, and Neil Diamond.
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.
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.
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.
Motown, soul & divas
The Detroit songbook and the powerhouse voices — Motown, Selena, Tina and Whitney, and the Carpenters.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Drag royalty
From the big-stage RuPaul’s Drag Race production to up-close drag brunches — Vegas’s queens at their best.
RuPaul’s Drag Race LIVE! Las Vegas
Flamingo · All Ages
The big-stage drag production on the Strip — a rotating cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race queens doing comedy, lip-sync battles, and full production numbers at the Flamingo. The most polished, all-ages drag show in town, and a bucket-list pick for Drag Race fans.
Drag Brunch Las Vegas
Hard Rock Cafe · 21+
An interactive Strip drag brunch — buffet, bottomless mimosas, and Drag Race stars and local queens performing lip-sync and comedy up close. 21+ and built for a celebrating crowd.
Drag your Sass to Brunch at Hamburger Mary’s
Hamburger Mary’s (off-Strip) · 21+
An off-Strip drag brunch at Hamburger Mary’s — up-close queen performances, food and bottomless drinks, and a rowdy bar-party vibe. 21+ and a favorite for groups who want it intimate and interactive.
How to choose
- Elvis fan? Spirit of the King for a full career retrospective; The King Comes Home for the room he actually played.
- Want classic Vegas? The Rat Pack is Back and VEGAS! THE SHOW capture the cocktail era.
- Chasing one pop star? MJ Live (Michael Jackson), Purple Reign (Prince), Sir Elton (Elton John), Queen Selena (Selena).
- Out for a party? RuPaul’s Drag Race LIVE! and the drag brunches are made for groups and celebrations.
- Hunting value and atmosphere? Many impersonators play intimate off-Strip rooms (Alexis Park, Neonopolis) — smaller venues, strong performances.
One note: most impersonator shows are family-friendly and all-ages, but a few skew older — Purple Reign is 16+, and the two adults-only drag brunches (Drag Brunch Las Vegas and Drag your Sass to Brunch) are 21+. Check each show’s rating before you bring the kids.
