Hotels near Las Vegas Shows

Live entertainment is central to any Las Vegas trip, and the city's shows range from the acrobatic Cirque du Soleil productions staged in purpose-built theatres to headline music residencies at venues like the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. On any given night you can choose between magic, comedy, dance and chart-topping concerts.

The Cirque du Soleil shows are the signature Vegas spectacle, each resident in its own resort theatre with custom stages - the aquatic O at the Bellagio among the most famous. Residencies bring major pop and rock acts to the city for multi-night runs throughout the year.

Pro Tip: Decide between a Cirque du Soleil spectacle and a music residency early, since the best seats for both sell out weeks ahead. For last-minute savings, same-day discount ticket booths on the Strip release unsold seats at a cut price.
