Top Residency Music headliners
Weekends with Adele
Adele's residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is in full swing this summer and fall and she continues to draw crowds to her powerful, emotionally charged show. If you enjoy Adele's music but haven't had the chance to see her live, I must say that her vocals sound even more breathtaking in person. In some parts of her show, Adele relies on nothing but her voice and a single piano player. There's a live orchestra and three back up singers in other parts of the show. All throughout, there are stunning multimedia effects and even occasional pyrotechnics that all work together to create a powerful concert experience. Personally, I was completely mesmerized by the spectacle. Adele's residency at The Colosseum is set for 03/1-30, 05/17-31, 06/1-15, 2024.

He is an amazing entertainer, a down-to-earth person and it's obvious that he cares about every single performance and has fun on stage.

Blue Man Group performing at Luxor Resort & Casino is one of the most popular shows in Vegas, and it's also one of my favorite! Picture this: three multi-talented actors with vibrant blue skin and bald heads showcase their musical and comedy talents by playing various makeshift percussion instruments such as kitchen utensils, Tubulums (made of pvc pipes), barrels and other objects. They also deliver great pantomime and silent comedy on stage.

From his beautiful honky-tonk voice to multiple shirt changes that show off his well-defined abs, Chase Brown delivers a high-energy performance at The Notoriety in downtown every Friday in 2024. In addition to his original country music, Chase occasionally incorporates tribute songs from world-renowned artists, making for an unforgettable night of music and entertainment.
Soul of Motown
Soul of Motown playing at Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino throughout 2024 is one of the coolest Motown shows in the city! The show is a nostalgic journey to the golden era of Motown. It's carried out by four talented artists - three men and one woman - who flawlessly recreate the soulful hits of Motown classics, but they really put their own twist on them. Sean Stewart Godfrey, the only lady of the cast, is a true star of the show, in my opinion. The show is so vibrant, energetic and so much fun that you'll have hard time staying in your seat, and you don't have to! So if you remember Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Aretha Franklin, this is a show not to be missed!
All Motown
"All Motown" is a fantastic all-female Las Vegas tribute show that can be seen at Alexis Park All Suite Resort.

A small venue adds to the intimate charm of this classic Vegas show.

The "Purple Reign" tribute show at Tropicana Las Vegas is a fantastic performance honoring Prince, featuring either impersonator Jason Tenner or Donelvan Thigpen. The resemblance, mannerisms, and voices of these two tribute artists are so uncanny that you'll feel like you've been transported back in time and can party like it's 1999.

The part of the show with lasers performed by one solo dancer was my favorite part!

If you have limited time in the city and are wondering which one to see, I recommend you to start with the new Michael Jackson One, which reflects the best Cirque du Soleil has to offer. Read below my reviews all Cirque du Soleil shows.
O By Cirque du Soleil
One of the most popular and beautiful Las Vegas shows by Cirque du Soleil, "O" is playing at the Bellagio Hotel. "O" is derived from the French word "Eau," which means "water," and this show revolves mainly around the theme of water. In the best Cirque Du Soleil traditions, "O" features breathtaking acrobatic acts that take place in and around a large pool filled with water. My favorite part of the show is that there's so much action taking place all around you that you sometimes don't know where to look. It's an entirely enthralling experience!

The storyline follows a group of colorful characters who embark on a thrilling adventure to discover the true meaning of life in a mystical world filled with surreal creatures. While the story of the show revolves around "The cycle of life", it may be left to personal interpretation. However, Mystere offers everything you can expect in a stellar production from Cirque du Soleil - stunning acts by aerial acrobats, contortionists, stunts, coupled with great imagery, live music and fantastical costumes.
The Beatles: Love
The Beatles: Love by Cirque du Soleil playing at the Mirage Hotel & Casino is a musical extravaganza that takes you on a journey through the various iconic moments of The Beatles' career, from their humble beginnings to the height of Beatlemania.Through incredibly choreographed rock-n-roll dance routines, acrobatics, costumes, props, visual effects and of course the 30 songs by The Beatles, you will relive the "good old days". The stage, intricately shaped in an X shape, is located in the middle, with seats all around it. Overall, The Beatles: Love show is a wonderful visual spectacle with dancers and acrobats doing their magic in every corner of the stage imaginable and from what I could tell, there is no bad seat in the house.
Mad Apple
Mad Apple playing at New York New York Hotel is the newest addition to Cirque du Soleil shows in Vegas. But please note, that this is not your regular "cirque" show. Mad Apple is kind of like an adult show meets comedy meets Cirque du Soleil in a New York city setting, hence the name! The show is hosted by comedian Harrison Greenbaum, and features a variety of circus acts, acrobatics, music, dance, comedy, and magic all blended in a non stop thrill ride. My favorite part of the show was the stunning aerial acrobat who was hanging in air by her hair and performed aerial stunts ever so effortlessly!
Comedy
When it comes to comedy, Las Vegas has so much to offer! Musicals, stand-up comedy, ventriloquists, and other hilarious shows! If you have time for a few shows, you should definitely check out Carrot Top and Terry Fator - I may be biased, but these are my favorite funniest Las Vegas shows playing in 2024.
Terry Fator Who's The Dummy Now
Terry Fator Who's the Dummy Now is a hilarious, charming, and unique show (and one of my favorite in Vegas!) playing at Liberty Loft Theater, New York New York Hotel & Casino.

Carrot Top
Carrot Top's is currently one of the funniest shows in Las Vegas, and very unique on top of that, and I am not the only one saying so - many tourists as well as locals agree! Hilarious red-headed stand-up comedian Carrot Top is performing at Luxor Hotel. In his comedy routine, Carrot Top covers wide range of topics we all can relate to, from everyday life to pop culture. Carrot Top finds unusual ways to use his funny tools and inventions that he keeps in a large trunk which proudly graces the stage. His realschtick is a large trunk filled with cool tools that he invented all by himself that all have a unique purpose - from a battery operated fork attached to chopsticks to legs attached to a hammer. Don't be surprised what objects he takes out of the trunk and you can be assured of a stomach ache after the show.

Tape Face
Tape Face, currently performing at Harrah's Cabaret within Harrah's Hotel, is one of the funniest and unique shows playing in Las Vegas! The show was created by a New-Zealand born Sam Willis, who gained international recognition on "America's Got Talent." It's a silent whimsical comedy where Tape Face, with his face covered by tape (duh), creates a visual storytelling using pantomime, props and members of the audience. My favorite part is that you can actually see and understand what he is saying while he is not saying a word! I promise, you will laugh through the whole show.
LIOZ Show
Lioz Shem Tov has appeared on several “Got Talent” shows before landing his own stint at The Orleans hotel in Las Vegas, and I must say, it’s one of the most unique and funny shows I’ve seen in my life! The premise is simple - Lioz prepares the audience as if for a magic trick, but then does something so unexpected and hilarious that leaves you baffled and falling of your chair with laughter. Lioz is definitely a must see show in Las Vegas!
Marriage can be murder

The storyline revolves around a murder mystery, where you, as audience member, are taking part in the investigation of four crimes while enjoying a delicious meal. The actors are dispersed among the audience, so you don't know who is who. The hosts, DD, and Lieutenant Eric Post are hilarious and bring the murder mystery to life with their comedic one-liners as well as with engaging the audience, even shy guests open up and participate! Lots of laughter, mystery, and delicious three-course meal make it a must-see show if you are looking for an immersive experience!

The drag brunch is a celebration of LGBTQ+ culture, a spectacle of music, dance and comedy. There's a vibrant energy throughout the entire show, and, considering all the booze coming your way, the Queens might even get you stand up and dance as well!
RuPauls Drag Race
No it's not time to buckle your seat belt to go drag racing but you will need to buckle up for incredible laughter, gorgeous drag queens, and delightful entertainment when RuPaul's Drag Race hits the stage. Be ready for a show that highlights lip syncing, intricate costumes, and shady-lady skits which are sure to make you giggle when numerous drag queens appear in front of your eyes at this awesome Las Vegas show.

The "Bottomless Brunch", called after the bottomless cocktails that just keep coming to keep the party going, is happening every Saturday and Sunday in a gay bar called "The Garden", located in the Las Vegas Arts District. The ever-changing cast of beautiful drag Queens from Rupaul's Drag Race are lovely, very entertaining and try to visit every single table to create a party atmosphere.
Gordie Brown
Gordie Brown, performing at The Showroom at Golden Nugget in downtown Las Vegas, puts on a truly unique show that is both a concert and a comedy. More of a comedy, methinks. Gordie Brown has a unique talent to transform into anyone on stage, and his celebrity impersonations are top notch! Charlie Sheen, Donald Trump, Al Pacino, Liam Neeson, Elvis Presley are just a few I've seen and the voice resemblance and facial expressions are uncanny! What's even better, Gordie Brown is happy to take requests from the audience, so every single show is different.
Eddie Griffin
Eddie Griffin is back at Saxe Theater at Planet Hollywood and has brought one of the funniest shows of his lengthy career. Eddie has been performing on The Strip for over 30 years. He will bring the good times back to your spirit with some gut busting laughter and his impromptu attitude on life will shock you at times. However, this show is not for those easily offended!
Opium
Opium, performing at The Cosmopolitan, is a hilarious, raunchy and sexy Las Vegas variety show featuring comedy, acrobats, a girl with a balloon, a sword swallower, jugglers, strength performers and other talented acts. It's definitely not a show to bring your mom to, but you'll have so much fun with your significant other or friends. At its core, Opium is a talent show taking place in a very small theater, with a crude twist and plenty of audience participation. So if you want to be dragged into a show, be sure to book the very first rows!

Magic Shows
Do you love fantastic old-fashion magic as well as mind blowing illusions? You are in luck with the many choices of Las Vegas shows in the magic and illusions genre! If you would like to also have some fun and laugh a bit too, you should try the "comedy magic" type shows - the name says it all! Whether you like your magic tricks thrilling or funny - there are plenty of family-friendly shows in the magic and illusions genre in Las Vegas playing in 2024.!
David Copperfield
David Copperfield, world-famous veteran magician and an iconic figure in the institute of magic, is currently performing at MGM Grand Hotel. David Copperfield’s has been one of the longest running shows on The Strip, but despite being there for a long time he continues to push the boundaries of magic and introduce new illusions. You can watch as closely as you like, but you will be amazed how things disappear right in front of your eyes. I don’t want to ruin the surprise for you, but there might be a UFO and aliens involved in his latest illusions.
Penn & Teller are two hilarious magicians performing at Rio Hotel & Casino for many years (rumor has it, they have the longest running show at the same hotel in Vegas!). What I like the most about Penn & Teller’s show is that they have a unique style with just the right blend of comedy and magic. Their gimmick is that they prep you for a certain magic trick, but manage to baffle you with an entirely new and more awesome trick. And they add new tricks quite often, so you might never attend the same show as before.
Piff The Magic Dragon
Piff the Magic Dragon is a funny family-friendly Las Vegas show playing at Flamingo Showroom inside Flamingo Hotel & Casino. Piff, a grown man in a dragon costume, and his chill and cool Chihuahua pup named Mr. Piffles, along with the famous showgirl Jade Simone, create a fun and exciting atmosphere with plenty of audience interaction. While the show may not feature mind-blowing magic, it more than makes up for it with the adorable and impeccably behaved Mr. Piffles and the abundant laughs he generates.
Shin Lim: Limitless
Shin Lim has won "America's Got Talent" twice, before he landed his Vegas residency, and that's telling you something, folks! If you are not familiar with his work, I'll tell you - Shin Lim is a self-taught magician who specializes in card tricks. Sounds boring right? So I thought until Shin Lim came along! The things he can do with cards are mind-blowing, to say the least. As he himself puts it, it’s like juggling, but with a deck of cards. And juggling he is. Depending on when you go, you might also catch at his show an opening act by the “real-life Sherlock Holmes,” incredible mind-reader Colin Cloud.
Criss Angel - Mindfreak
Criss Angel MINDFREAK, playing at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, is perhaps the most spectacular show in Las Vegas! If you are into mind-blowing illusions and awe-inspiring acts, you must see this show. It features levitation, teleportation, disappearances, and reappearances, along with state-of-the-art technology, pyrotechnics, lighting effects, and multimedia elements. The show is like a rock show of magic, with Criss Angel at the helm.
Jen Kramer
Jen Kramer’s show playing in a small intimate venue at Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino is great for the entire family, especially for those with kids, as Jen does engage kids in her show a lot. The only female magician on the Strip, Jen Kramer is incredibly charismatic, funny, and with a great stage presence. And she does know her magic! She specializes sleight of hand, card tricks, mind reading, and predictions. But in my opinion her real strengths are in her ability to engage the audience in her routines and make people laugh.
The Conjurors-Cabin of Wonders
Everyone likes a little mixture of fun that intertwines magic, comedy, storytelling, and plenty of laughter and that’s what families will get when they go watch the Conjurors-Cabin of Wonders. The show is truly unique with mystifying illusions that have people scratching their heads and let’s don’t forget the high audience participation rules that has everyone wanting to go on stage.
Mat Franco
Mat Franco has wowed audiences on America's Got Talent, and now he's bringing his incredible talent to The LINQ Hotel & Casino in his own theater. Mat Franco's Las Vegas show showcases a combination of sleight of hand, mind reading, comedy, and storytelling. If you think card and money tricks can't impress you, prepare to be pleasantly surprised! Mat Franco's magical prowess, charisma, and entertaining style are a big hit with everyone. However, what makes his show unique for me is his likable personality, which shines through and carries the show from start to finish.
Paranormal Frederic Da Silva
Paranormal magician and mind reader Frederic Da Silva brings his unusual mental hypnosis and mysterious mind-reading capabilities to a highly entertaining and funny family-friendly show at the Magic Attic at Horseshoe. Frederic Da Silva has won European Championship of Magic and was named the Best Mentalist In The World. You’ll be amazed, baffled and mesmerized by his psychic abilities! I know I still am. How did he do it? Challenge him after the show, he will get into your head and read what number or card you are thinking.
Nathan Burton Comedy Magic
Nathan Burton's afternoon comedy magic show at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino is a real treat for adults and kids alike. Don’t let the price fool you - Nathan Burton’s show is large-scale and grandiose, and very funny on top of that! His show features a variety of grand illusions, impressive tricks, including levitation, disappearances, exciting visual effects, all performed with the help of several beautiful showgirls. It's a great option for families looking for a fun and engaging show in Las Vegas.
Mike Hammer comedy Magic
The Mike Hammer Comedy Magic show, performing at Four Queens Resort & Casino in downtown Las Vegas, is one of the most hilarious shows you'll ever see and is well worth the trip downtown, even if you're staying on the Strip! With no set script, the entire show revolves around audience interaction, and Mike Hammer's exceptional improvisational comedy skills are a true highlight. He delights in playfully teasing and roasting anyone who assists him on stage with his magic tricks. or even playfully picking on members of the audience. It’s a fantastic show for people over 13 !
Mac King Comedy Magic
Mac King's self-deprecating humor, goofy jokes, and funny magic tricks make him one of the most beloved comedy magicians on the Las Vegas Strip, and he has been performing for decades! There are no large installations or TV screens; it's just Mac King, his great personality, and his simple but hilarious magic tricks with cards, ropes, goldfish, and small props. This excellent afternoon show takes place at the Thunderland Theater at Excalibur Hotel and is suitable for the entire family.

Welcome to a fictional wild west saloon, run by Madame Boozy Skunkton, that is populated by amoral employees, nuns, and shady characters.

The show embodies classic Vegas entertainment, combining adult comedy, acrobatics, variety acts, and burlesque. However, my personal favorite parts of the show are the ones with a dog!
