Best Family Shows in Las Vegas

Family Friendly Shows in Las Vegas

Vegas for Kids (and their adults)

One of the most kid friendly things you can do in Las Vegas is go to a family-friendly show, and there are lots of them!

On any given day you can watch robot combat, trained rescue cats performing at Planet Hollywood, a dance crew in white masks doing things with their bodies that shouldn’t be physically possible, and two of the greatest magicians alive performing in the same city at the same time.

This guide covers family friendly shows in Las Vegas — organized by type so you can find the right show for your group’s ages and interests rather than just the most familiar name.

A note on “family-friendly” in Las Vegas

All ages doesn’t always mean right for every age. A few things worth knowing before you book:

  • Runtime matters for younger kids. Most Vegas shows run 70–90 minutes without an intermission — a long time for a restless 5-year-old. The afternoon comedy-magic shows (Mac King, Nathan Burton, Adam London) run 60–70 minutes and are paced for younger attention spans.
  • All ages and recommended ages are different things. Several shows here are technically all ages but recommend 8+, 10+, or older because the content works better for those audiences. We’ve noted these throughout.
  • Loud shows are worth flagging. BattleBots specifically recommends ear protection for young children. If your kids are sensitive to noise, that’s worth knowing in advance.

First: what kind of show do you want?

Family entertainment in Vegas breaks into a few lanes. Figure out yours and the list narrows quickly.

  • Big production shows — Cirque du Soleil, Awakening at Wynn, Jabbawockeez. Large-scale, high-production spectacle that works for almost every age.
  • Comedy and magic — the backbone of family Vegas entertainment. Several shows have been running for decades for good reason.
  • Tribute and music shows — for families where the kids are old enough to love the artist.
  • Variety shows — rotating acts, multiple performers, something for everyone in one sitting.
  • Something completely unique — robot combat, pet theater, silent comedy. The shows that don’t fit anywhere else.

The big production shows

These are the marquee productions — large venues, high budgets, and the kind of scale that justifies the ticket price.

O by Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas show at O Theatre at Bellagio

O by Cirque du Soleil

Bellagio · On the Strip · 5+ (under 16 with adult) · 90 min

O has been running at the Bellagio since 1998 and is still the show most Las Vegas visitors name when asked what they’d most like to see. The concept is a 1.5-million-gallon pool that becomes a stage — platforms rise and fall from the water, aerialists and synchronized swimmers share the same space, and the whole thing shifts between acts with transitions that genuinely defy explanation. The most visually spectacular 90 minutes in Las Vegas, and the one Cirque show you’ll hear people describe as a bucket list item. Not the right call for very young kids who won’t sit still for 90 minutes.

KÀ by Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas show at KÀ Theatre at MGM Grand

KÀ by Cirque du Soleil

MGM Grand · On the Strip · 3+ · 90 min

KÀ tells a story — twin siblings separated during an attack on their kingdom who must find each other again — which makes it the most narratively driven of the Cirque shows and the easiest for older kids and teens to follow. The theater was purpose-built for this production, with a 90-foot vertical stage that tilts, rotates, and becomes a battlefield. Martial arts, aerial combat, sand animation. The 3+ rating is the most permissive of the Cirque shows, but the battle sequences run intense — best for kids who can handle action-movie energy.

Mystère by Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas show at Mystère Theater at Treasure Island - TI

Mystère by Cirque du Soleil

Treasure Island · On the Strip · 5+ (under 16 with adult) · 90 min

The longest-running Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas — open since 1993. Where KÀ has a narrative and O is built around water, Mystère is Cirque at its most purely joyful: colorful, fast-moving, and built around extraordinary physical feats rather than a heavy theme. The resident comic characters keep the energy light between acts, and the show is consistently cited as the most family-friendly of the three Strip Cirque productions. Often the most affordable of the five Vegas Cirque shows, making it the strongest value entry point.

Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas show at Michael Jackson ONE Theatre at Mandalay Bay

Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil

Mandalay Bay · On the Strip · 5+ (under 16 with adult) · 90 min

Cirque’s MJ production has been running at Mandalay Bay since 2013 and holds some of the highest review scores of any show in Las Vegas. The decision not to cast an MJ impersonator was a smart one — the show uses his original recordings and builds acrobatic sequences around them, so the music is always the real thing. Works for families where the kids know the catalogue; the Cirque format means it doesn’t require prior knowledge to enjoy.

Awakening Las Vegas show at Awakening Theater

Awakening

Wynn Las Vegas · On the Strip · 5+ · 80 min

Wynn’s marquee production performs in a custom 360° in-the-round theater that puts the audience inside the story rather than watching from the front — aerialists, acrobats, dancers, and large-scale visual effects built around a fantasy hero’s journey. Consistently among the highest-production shows in the city, and the Wynn venue adds to the experience. Runs 80 minutes.

Jabbawockeez Las Vegas show at Jabbawockeez Theater at MGM Grand

Jabbawockeez

MGM Grand · On the Strip · All Ages · 70 min

The world-famous masked hip-hop dance crew — Season 1 winners of America’s Best Dance Crew, four-time Best All Ages Production winners in Las Vegas. Their current show is 70 minutes of choreography, comedy skits, LED production, and high-energy performance that holds kids and adults equally. No words needed, no prior knowledge required. Kids under 3 sit on laps free; ages 4 and up need a ticket.

Blue Man Group Las Vegas show at Blue Man Theater at Luxor

Blue Man Group

Luxor · On the Strip · 3+ · 90 min

Blue Man Group has been part of the Las Vegas landscape long enough that parents who saw it as kids are now bringing their own. The show mixes percussion, paint, audience participation, and visual comedy with no dialogue and no clear narrative — pure sensory experience, which makes it accessible for young kids and genuinely engaging for adults who’ve outgrown entertainment that talks down to them. The 90-minute runtime is the longest ask for younger kids; the energy stays high enough that most handle it. Under-3s sit on laps free.

Comedy and magic

The strongest category for families in Las Vegas. Several of these shows have been running for decades, which says something about how consistently they deliver.

Mac King Comedy Magic Show Las Vegas show at Thunderland Showroom at Excalibur

Mac King Comedy Magic Show

Excalibur · On the Strip · 5+ · 70 min

Mac King holds a record no other Las Vegas performer can claim: the longest-running one-man show in Las Vegas history. Penn & Teller — who have seen every magician working — called him “the greatest comedy magician at least alive today” on Fool Us. The show is warm, folksy, and hilariously funny for adults and kids in equal measure. Runs afternoons. One of the best value shows on the Strip, and the default family magic recommendation for most people who’ve seen it.

Nathan Burton Comedy Magic Show Las Vegas show at Nathan Burton Theater at FlyOver Las Vegas

Nathan Burton Comedy Magic Show

Showcase Mall · On the Strip · All Ages · 70 min

Multiple America’s Got Talent appearances and voted #1 Afternoon Magic Show in Las Vegas. Big visual illusions at a family-friendly pace — G-rated throughout, kids 3 and under lap-sit free, and daily showtimes with afternoon and early evening options. One of the most reliably kid-appropriate shows on the Strip and a strong budget option.

Popovich Comedy Pet Theater Las Vegas show at V Theater at Miracle Mile Shops

Popovich Comedy Pet Theater

Planet Hollywood · On the Strip · All Ages · 60 min

Gregory Popovich has been performing his Comedy Pet Theater in Las Vegas for over 20 years — a 60-minute show featuring his troupe of trained rescue cats, dogs, and doves performing alongside acrobats and comedy acts. A multi-award-winning circus artist and international touring veteran, Popovich delivers the kind of animal-plus-acrobatics format that gets kids talking for the rest of the trip. The 60-minute runtime is the most forgiving on younger attention spans.

TAPE FACE Las Vegas show at The Underground Theater at MGM Grand

TAPE FACE

MGM Grand · On the Strip · All Ages · 90 min

New Zealand comedian Sam Wills performs 90 minutes of completely silent physical comedy using props, escalating absurdity, and audience participation. No words, no setup-punchline structure — just full commitment to a bit until the room can’t breathe. He’s appeared on America’s Got Talent and toured internationally, and the MGM Grand residency is the fullest version of the format. Genuinely funny for every age in the room simultaneously, which is rarer than it sounds.

MARC SAVARD Comedy Hypnosis Las Vegas show at Nathan Burton Theater on the Strip

MARC SAVARD Comedy Hypnosis

Showcase Mall · On the Strip · All Ages · 70 min

Marc Savard has been headlining on the Strip for over 15 years. Willing audience volunteers come on stage, get hypnotized, and the unscripted chaos that follows is the entire show. MTV called it “the funniest show ever” — the all-ages format makes this the most accessible hypnosis option in the city, and the Showcase Mall location puts it on the Strip without a casino attached.

Piff the Magic Dragon Show Las Vegas show at Flamingo Showroom at Flamingo Las Vegas

Piff the Magic Dragon

Flamingo · On the Strip · 8+ · 75 min

The Magic Castle’s 2024 Magician of the Year, multiple Best of Las Vegas winner in both magic and comedy. British magician John van der Put performs in a dragon suit with a Chihuahua sidekick, and the deadpan comedy is genuinely funny — not “for a magic show” funny, but properly funny. Strong magic behind the laughs. The 8+ rating makes it one of the more family-appropriate options on the Flamingo’s calendar.

Mat Franco Las Vegas show at Mat Franco Theater at The LINQ Hotel + Experience

Mat Franco

The LINQ · On the Strip · 5+ · 90 min

The first magician in America’s Got Talent history to win the competition. His show “Magic Reinvented Nightly” has earned Best Magic Show at the Best of Vegas Awards and holds a top-rated Tripadvisor ranking. Warm, charming, and built around genuine audience interaction — good for families where the adults want a polished headliner show and the kids want something interactive.

Shin Lim Las Vegas show at Palazzo Theatre at The Venetian

Shin Lim

The Venetian · On the Strip · 4+ · 90 min

The only act to win America’s Got Talent twice. His residency at the Palazzo Theatre is the most visually elegant magic show in Las Vegas — close-up sleight of hand scaled to a large theater, performed with cinematic precision and minimal words. Better for families with older kids who can appreciate the subtlety; younger children may not track what they’re watching closely enough to be fully engaged.

Penn & Teller Las Vegas show at Penn & Teller Theater at Rio

Penn & Teller

Rio · Off the Strip · 5+ · 90 min

Penn & Teller have been performing together for over 50 years and headlining at the Rio since 2001. They explain exactly how tricks work — and then fool you anyway. The show rewards attention and intelligence, which makes it one of the best picks for older kids and teens who are beyond the pure-wonder phase of magic and want to understand the craft. The post-show meet-and-greet is a genuine highlight.

Paranormal Mind Reading Magic Las Vegas show at Imagine Showroom at Horseshoe Las Vegas

Paranormal Mind Reading Magic

Horseshoe · On the Strip · 5+ · 75 min

French mentalist Frédéric Da Silva has built one of the highest-rated shows on the Strip. Predictions, mind-reading, and psychological illusions in a 75-minute format — better for families with older kids who find mentalism more interesting than traditional magic tricks.

Farrell Dillon at The Magicians Room Las Vegas show at The Magicians Room at The LINQ Promenade

Farrell Dillon at The Magicians Room

LINQ Promenade · On the Strip · 5+ · 75 min

Sleight of hand and genuine laughs in the intimate Magicians Room setting. Small room, interactive, and family-friendly throughout. A strong LINQ Promenade option for families who want something with less of a production budget and more of a close-up magic feel.

Matt Donnelly the Mind Noodler Las Vegas show at The Magicians Room

Matt Donnelly the Mind Noodler

LINQ Promenade · On the Strip · 5+ · 75–90 min

Comedy-forward mind reading at The Magicians Room. The 4:30pm showtime makes it the easiest afternoon comedy-magic option along the LINQ Promenade — good for families who want something before dinner.

Adam London Laughternoon Las Vegas show at Ahern Live Showroom

Adam London Laughternoon

Ahern Hotel · Off the Strip · All Ages · 60 min

Light magic, audience interaction, and a goofy sense of humor in a 60-minute format designed for daytime family audiences. Off-Strip at Ahern Hotel, one of the most affordable options on the list. The 60-minute runtime is the most forgiving for very young kids, and the show works for grandparents and adults equally.

House of Magic Las Vegas show at Delirious Showroom at Silver Sevens Hotel & Casino

House of Magic

Silver Sevens · Off the Strip · All Ages (PG-13, minors with adult) · 75 min

A rotating lineup of comedy magicians, illusionists, and variety performers in an intimate off-Strip showroom. Inspired by the legendary Magic Castle in Hollywood — a different act each time, with resident headliner Michael DeSchalit holding it together. Good for families who want to see multiple styles of magic in one sitting and don’t need a Strip address.

Allstars of Magic Las Vegas show at V Theater at Miracle Mile Shops

Allstars of Magic

Planet Hollywood · On the Strip · All Ages · 75 min

A multi-magician afternoon showcase at the V Theater — illusions, comedy, mentalism, and interactive tricks from a rotating cast rather than a single headliner. Light, accessible, and well-paced for mixed-age groups. Good afternoon option on the Strip.

David Goldrake Las Vegas show at The Magicians Room at The LINQ Promenade

David Goldrake

LINQ Promenade · On the Strip · 5+ · 90 min

A Luxembourg-born illusionist with a sophisticated, European approach to theatrical magic. His show is more classically theatrical than the comedy-magic shows above, and better suited to families with older kids who appreciate scale and presentation over interactivity.

Variety shows

V – The Ultimate Variety Show Las Vegas show at V Theater at Miracle Mile Shops

V – The Ultimate Variety Show

Planet Hollywood · On the Strip · All Ages · 75 min

Running at the V Theater since 2001, one of the longest-running variety shows in Las Vegas. A rotating cast of specialty acts — acrobats, jugglers, comedians, quick-change artists, and others — moves through 75 minutes of short, punchy segments. The variety format works well for mixed-age groups because if any one act doesn’t land, the next is two minutes away. Consistently one of the most affordable all-ages shows on the Strip.

WOW! The Vegas Spectacular Las Vegas show at Rio Showroom at Rio Hotel & Casino

WOW! The Vegas Spectacular

Rio · Off the Strip · 4+ · 90 min

Aerial acrobatics, quick-change artistry, large-scale illusions, and comedy in a 90-minute production show at the Rio Showroom. More polished than a standard variety show and a step up in production budget — the quick-change sequences in particular regularly stop the room. Off-Strip pricing makes it a strong value for what you get.

BattleBots Destruct-A-Thon Las Vegas show at Horseshoe Las Vegas

BattleBots Destruct-A-Thon

Horseshoe · On the Strip · All Ages (recommended 6+) · 75 min

The first permanent, daily robot combat show in Las Vegas — fan-favorite robots from the hit TV series competing in live, unscripted fights inside the BattleBox, with real sparks, real metal-on-metal impacts, and real engineering decisions happening in front of you. Nothing else in Las Vegas is remotely like this. Recommended for ages 6 and up; toddlers 2 and under sit free on a lap, but ear protection is strongly recommended for young children — it is a genuinely loud show.

Tribute and music shows

These work best for families where the kids are old enough to know and love the artist. The age floor here isn’t about content — it’s about whether the music means something to the people in the room.

Australian Bee Gees Las Vegas show at Thunderland Showroom at Excalibur

Australian Bee Gees

Excalibur · On the Strip · 5+ · 90 min

Over 4,500 Las Vegas performances across 22 years, with a live band and harmonies that hold up under close listening. Winner of Best Tribute Show from the Las Vegas Review-Journal. For Bee Gees fans of any age, this is the one.

Carpenters Legacy Las Vegas show at V3 Theater at Miracle Mile Shops

Carpenters Legacy

Planet Hollywood · On the Strip · All Ages · 75 min

Seven-time Best of Las Vegas winner, including Gold for Best Impersonator — and the featured entertainment for the Carpenters’ own 50th and 55th Anniversary Celebrations. For families who grew up with Karen and Richard Carpenter’s music, a genuinely moving tribute.

MJ Live Las Vegas show at Harrah's Las Vegas Showroom

MJ Live

Harrah’s · On the Strip · 5+ (under 18 with parent or guardian) · 70 min

The King Comes Home Las Vegas show at Westgate Cabaret at Westgate Las Vegas

The King Comes Home

Westgate · Off the Strip · 5+ · 90 min

An Elvis tribute at the venue where Elvis himself performed over 600 shows between 1969 and 1976. The venue connection makes this the most historically grounded Elvis tribute in Las Vegas — the room you’re sitting in is part of the story. Good for families where Elvis means something.

All Shook Up Las Vegas show at Athena Showlounge at Alexis Park Resort Hotel

All Shook Up

Alexis Park · Off the Strip · All Ages · 70 min

One of the longest-running Elvis tribute shows in Las Vegas, at the intimate Athena Showlounge at Alexis Park. High-energy, live band, and a strong impersonator in a room small enough that every seat feels close. Off-Strip value.

Soul of Motown Las Vegas show at Westgate Cabaret at Westgate Las Vegas

Soul of Motown

Westgate · Off the Strip · 5+ · 90 min

Live tribute to the golden era of Motown — Temptations, Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder — with live band energy in an intimate showroom. Best for families where the adults want Motown and the kids are old enough to be swept up by it.

All Motown Las Vegas show at Athena Showlounge at Alexis Park

All Motown

Alexis Park · Off the Strip · All Ages (recommended 8+) · 70–75 min

Las Vegas’s only all-female Motown show — the Duchesses of Motown performing 70–75 minutes of harmonies, choreography, and classic hits. One of the best off-Strip values in Vegas for music-focused families.

Motown Extreme Las Vegas show at Motown Extreme Theater

Motown Extreme

Motown Extreme Theater · Off the Strip · All Ages · 80 min

A family-owned and Black-owned theater about 10 miles south of the Strip, directed by Grammy Award-winner Felton Pilate. Broadway-musical energy with Motown live-concert delivery — high-energy impersonations, a full live band, and a room where performers and audience are genuinely close. For families willing to go off the Strip for something more intimate and community-rooted.

Ikons of Rock Las Vegas show at Hard Rock Cafe

Ikons of Rock

Hard Rock Cafe · On the Strip · 5+ · 90 min

VEGAS! THE SHOW Las Vegas show at Saxe Theater at Miracle Mile Shops

VEGAS! THE SHOW

Planet Hollywood · On the Strip · All Ages · 75 min

A fast-moving tribute to the history of Las Vegas entertainment — Rat Pack, Elvis, Liberace, showgirls, and the golden age of the Strip — at the Saxe Theater inside Miracle Mile Shops.

Good for families where multiple people want different things, and for anyone curious what Vegas entertainment looked like before the mega-resorts.

Twist & Shout: The Beatles Tribute Show Las Vegas show at Ahern Live Showroom

Twist & Shout: The Beatles Tribute

Ahern Hotel · Off the Strip · All Ages · 75 min

The dinner show

Tournament of Kings Las Vegas show at King Arthur's Arena at Excalibur

Tournament of Kings

Excalibur · On the Strip · All Ages · 90 min

Medieval jousting, knights on horseback, fire, and a whole roasted chicken you eat with your hands. You’re assigned to a kingdom section when you arrive and spend the evening cheering for your knight. The food is hearty and beside the point. The experience — live horses, crowd participation, and the kind of shared energy polished theater rarely creates — is the whole game. One of the most consistently kid-loved shows in Las Vegas, and a strong anchor for a full family dinner evening.

Marriage Can Be Murder Dinner Show Las Vegas show at The Venue at Rio Hotel & Casino

Marriage Can Be Murder Dinner Show

Frequently asked questions about Family Shows in Las Vegas

It depends on the ages in your group. Mac King, Jabbawockeez, and Blue Man Group are the three most consistently cited across all family age ranges. For very young kids, Popovich Comedy Pet Theater’s 60-minute format is the most forgiving. For teens, KÀ by Cirque du Soleil or Penn & Teller.

A few — Popovich Comedy Pet Theater, Adam London Laughternoon, and Nathan Burton Comedy Magic are gentle and short enough to work. Blue Man Group is technically 3+ but is a genuinely loud show. is 3+ with an adult. Mostly, very young kids do better with the 60–70 minute afternoon shows than the 90-minute evening productions.

Cirque du Soleil shows — especially O and — book out on weekends; reserve those 2–3 weeks ahead, more during holidays. Most other family shows have more availability, but weekends and peak periods fill up. A week ahead is a safe general rule for non-Cirque shows.

Some shows offer reduced pricing for children; others price all tickets the same. A few — Nathan Burton, Jabbawockeez, Blue Man Group — let children 3 and under sit on a lap for free. Check the individual show page for current pricing and policies.

For live entertainment specifically, yes — more genuinely great family shows run here than in most cities in the country. The casino floors are adults-only, but the theaters, showrooms, and entertainment venues are open to families and worth building time around.
