Las Vegas is often referred to as the “entertainment capital of the world”, not only for the casinos, but also for the exciting Vegas entertainment shows. For the ultimate Vegas vacation, the best tickets on the strip are shows that feature Las Vegas headliners. There is nothing more exciting than catching Las Vegas entertainment headliners, because the shows are often pushed to the limit to add “Vegas” show style. Probably the best show you will ever see by your favorite headliners will be performed in one of the Las Vegas casinos.
One of the great recent Las Vegas headliners is Bette Midler at the Caesar’s Palace. Caesar’s Palace has a long standing reputation for having the best Las Vegas headliners in the last few decades, so it’s no wonder it is now home to Bette Midler. The Cirque du Soleil show, Mystere is another longtime production show headliner that consistently sells out year after year.

Keep an eye on the list of Las Vegas shows for your favorite artist.
Other Las Vegas entertainment headliners include famous stand up comics. Jerry Seinfeld, Howie Mandel and Jay Leno, make regular appearances on the Las Vegas strip. Roseanne Barr shows up often as well. Las Vegas practically gave birth to the headliner performance of the stand up comic, so there is never a shortage of big name comics to see in concert.
It also seems like every has been band for the last few decades makes its way to the Las Vegas strip at least once a year. If you can’t find some of your old favorites like Air Supply, Joan Jett or the Romantics in a town near you, you are more than likely to find these headliners in Las Vegas at least once a year.

Most of the headliners in Las Vegas perform at one of the big casinos like the MGM Grand Garden Arena, the Mandalay Bay or the Luxor Hotel and Casino, but some are seen at the smaller casinos like the Hard Rock and the Las Vegas Hilton. Whatever the location the Las Vegas headliners shows are often sold out months in advance so book early to assure seating.
Las Vegas Magic Shows entertain and amaze you. It always seems like magic when your money disappears but these shows are the real thing
Most Las Vegas shows are not made for whole family viewing. A Lot of popular Vegas shows are decidedly not appropriate for children and younger audiences. Las Vegas has often become synonymous with sin or at the very least sex. While that is something that most definitely draws the box office dollars it is not something that makes watching shows in Vegas easy if you have children. Magic shows, however are usually a fairly safe bet from great entertainment and less adult oriented content.
Most children not only love magic and it is certain about children and magic shows, they always find them utterly and completely fascinating. The most recognized name when it comes to magic and illusion is David Copperfield. Children will be delighted from the first act through the end of the Vegas show. This is one show that you will not have to worry about sending negative messages to your children nor will you have to worry about being bored for the sake of your children with this show either. His show may ultimately be the start of something magical in your own children, you never know. Check with the MGM Grand for show nights and times as this show plays two weeks every month but those weeks vary.
Dirk Arthur’s show at the Tropicana has a little more Xtreme Magic. No age restrictions for this show and the costs are $29 for table seating and $34 for booth seats this show has all kinds of wildlife from beautiful women, lavish dancers, Bengal tigers, a white tiger, and leopards. This show is a very exciting show that displays the art of illusion in a rather extreme form (kind of like extreme sports, this is extreme magic). Show times are 2 and 4 pm Saturday through Thursday.
The Rick Thomas show at the Stardust Hotel, if you want a little more magic, and magic for everybody. From the exquisitely choreographed moves and the help of a few showgirl type dancers he has created one of the best daytime shows in Vegas. Not only is Rick Thomas an excellent magician and illusionist he is also an extremely talented showman. And anything that can keep the rapt attention of little ones (in addition to their quiet) is a really good thing while on vacation. You can catch his show Thursday through Tuesday at 2 and 4 pm in the Wayne Newton Theatre of the Stardust Hotel.
These shows are only a few of every magic acts playing in Las Vegas, but these acts are very much the ones worth mentioning. If you have not seen any of these guys perform you really have no idea what you have been missing. David Copperfield is truly the Master but he very well may have some serious competition along the horizon.
The child in all of us never really manages to outgrow magic. We see it in brief moments when we hold our children for the first time, when we see their eyes light up on Christmas, when we feel the beauty and perfection of one perfect snowflake. Magic is all around us and so easily missed, there is nothing quite like visiting one of these shows to remind us not only of the magic we are missing each and every day as well as the wonder that we left behind somewhere in our own childhoods
