Mic Drop It Like It’s Hot… Vegas is one of the best comedy towns in the country, and stand-up runs all night, every night. The scene splits into two kinds of room: marquee headliners with their own residencies, and rotating comedy clubs where the lineup changes from set to set. Both are reliably good, and…
A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That… Rooted in the old Vegas vaudeville tradition but supercharged for the modern stage, these fast-paced productions pack rotating acts into one night — and they range from all-ages spectacles to filthy adults-only circus comedy. Figure out the vibe — family spectacle, grown-up cabaret, or a…
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…

After-Hour Ahhhs… Las Vegas after dark is a category all its own. “Adult” here covers a lot of ground — jaw-dropping adults-only circus spectacles, male revues built for girls’ night, topless burlesque, filthy stand-up, and magic with a dirty punchline. The right one depends entirely on the occasion and exactly how far over the line…
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…
Viva Laugh Vegas Comedy in Las Vegas is no joke. The city that gave the world Don Rickles working the Sands in 1963 is now home to rotating standup clubs on the Strip, crowd-work veterans who’ve been doing this longer than some of their audience members have been alive, a silent comedian who gets 90…
Pick a Show, Any Show Las Vegas has more world-class magic than anywhere on earth — from two-time America’s Got Talent champion Shin Lim doing impossibly clean sleight of hand, to the legendary Penn & Teller explaining a trick and fooling you anyway, to mentalists who seem to read your mind. The best magic show…
