Best Las Vegas Shows 2026 — Our Top Picks

Las Vegas shows and entertainment

Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world for a reason. From Cirque du Soleil spectacles to A-list residencies, there is something for every taste. Here are the shows worth your time and money in 2026.

Cirque du Soleil

"O" at Bellagio — the crown jewel of Vegas shows. An aquatic masterpiece performed in and above a 1.5 million gallon pool. Tickets start at $120 but it is worth every penny. Book 2-4 weeks in advance for the best prices.

Mystère at Treasure Island — the original Cirque show in Vegas, still going strong. More acrobatic and playful than "O." Tickets from $75, making it the best-value Cirque show.

KÀ at MGM Grand — a martial arts-themed epic with a rotating stage. Stunning visuals. From $85.

Music Residencies

The biggest names in music play multi-week runs at Vegas venues. In 2026, check for residencies at the Colosseum at Caesars, Dolby Live at Park MGM, and Resorts World Theatre. Prices vary wildly — $60 for nosebleeds to $500+ for floor seats. Buy early for the best selection.

Comedy

Vegas has more comedy shows than any city outside New York. Highlights: Brad Garrett's Comedy Club (MGM), The Comedy Cellar (Rio), and late-night shows at the Laugh Factory (Tropicana). Most tickets $30-$60.

Magic

Penn & Teller at the Rio is the longest-running headliner show in Vegas. Combining comedy and magic, it appeals to skeptics and fans alike. From $65. For a more intimate experience, try Mat Franco at the LINQ (winner of America's Got Talent). From $55.
