Las Vegas Show Survival Guide
advice and tips for getting the most out of your Las Vegas show experience.

Getting Tickets: Seeing the shows is a very important part of the Las Vegas scene. But getting tickets to see the show you want is not always easy. Shows become sold out, ticket sellers raise prices and getting a good seat location can also be a problem. You should realize that all ticket sellers are not equal and some have much better deals than others. If location is important to you, such as sitting up close in a celebrity show, always comparison shop ticket sellers for the best seating available. Sometimes your hotel concierge or hotel manager can obtain those hard to get tickets for you.

There are websites that specialize in Las Vegas show tickets. One such site is the one you are on now (Las Vegas Direct). Las Vegas Direct specializes in both hard to get tickets and well located seats. In addition, our ticket prices are discounted. The discounts can be as much as 50%, more on some shows if ordered far enough in advance.

Buying Tickets While in Vegas
If you plan to get tickets on your trip instead of in advance, you will often pay a premium price and seat selection will be limited. Last minute show tickets can be purchased from the hotel box office. Another option is to use an outfit called Tix4Tonight that has various locations around Las Vegas and opens at 10am, every morning. At that time they offer tickets to various shows (some at a discount) for that evening. You actually have to be there to make the purchase. In some cases the shows may be half-price or less, but this is rarely the case for popular shows. Again, we highly suggest buying your tickets in advance.

Vegas Show Dress Codes: Daytime shows are completely casual. Dress to be comfortable. Although there is no actual dress code, people tend to dress up for the evening shows, particularly the upscale celebrity performances. Obviously strict formal attire is not required here or at most other places in Las Vegas. A good rule is to dress so you don’t feel out of place.

Free Show Tickets: Many casinos will give away free show tickets, or "comps" if you gamble enough. Be sure to use your players card whenever you gamble so they can track your status, and let them know you are interested in a free show. If you can stand it, at many casino hotel lobbies there is often someone who is willing to offer free tickets to popular shows, but the catch is that you have to spend about 2 hours listening to a timeshare presentation. You may not get the best seats or tickets to the top shows playing, but these offers are legitimate and can get you and a guest into a free show.

Picking a Show: With so many choices, finding that perfect show can be a real challenge. In order to help you out, we have put together a list of what we feel are the best shows below (top 10 list) as well as others worth seeing if you have the time.

Enjoy the show!

Las Vegas Direct Top 10 Best Show Picks

 #1 - "O" Cirque du Soleil

"O" Cirque du Soleil Best Las Vegas Show
In describing this extravaganza it might be best to call it a live dream fantasy rather than a show. But by any name, you will be thoroughly entertained, astonished and even amazed.

Over 70 million dollars has been spent on this production. It has a cast of 85 performers, 150 stage hands and an on stage pool with one and a half million gallons of water. And speaking of water, the show gets the name "O" from the way the French pronounce their word for water as in Eau de Cologne.

Unlike most other Cirque du Soleil shows that concentrate on performers, "O" presents a series of unique beautiful glimpses of  dream like sequences. At times there is so much going on it is difficult to view everything. You will see synchronized swimming done with unbelievable precision, acrobats on a trapeze descending into the on stage pool and a host of assorted characters hanging around the pool.

Suddenly, three 60 foot ladders appear and death defying divers launch themselves into the pool in unison. A barge floats in the center of the stage with acrobats and contortionists. In just a matter of seconds the pool is covered over by a hard floor and fire dancers are performing. Special effects including a flying carrousel which will leave you breathless. They go on for ninety minutes in the magnificent theater at the Bellagio Hotel.

 #2 - Phantom The Las Vegas Spectacular

Phantom of the opera The Las Vegas Spectacular Best Las Vegas Show
Phantom's story takes place at an old opera house in Paris where a mysterious figure complete with mask and scarred face gives singing lessons to a young beautiful girl who wishes to become an opera singer. This mysterious phantom soon falls in love with both her voice and beauty. When she announces her engagement to a childhood sweetheart, the Phantom is upset and all hell breaks loose.

Andrew Lloyd Weber the composer is not without controversy. Over the years there has been some discussion as to the originality of the music but never to its beauty. The music, singing and dancing are magnificent. If this were not enough to bring you to the show, the auditorium in which you are seated has been built by the Venetian Hotel as a replica of the Garnier Opera House of Paris. The large chandelier with all of its crystals that leaves the audience breathless is present in all of its glory. Spectacular pyrotechnics and great sound quality all come together to make an unforgettable performance.

In a survey of over 500 people who went to the show, 95% enjoyed it and would recommend it to a friend. There were one or two complaints about the seats being a little on the small side, but as they say, "The show must go on."

 #3 - Jersey Boys

The Jersey Boys Las Vegas Best Las Vegas Show
Somehow, by a strange quirk of fate, the streets of Newark, New Jersey gave birth to a musical group called the Four Seasons. This group has sold over 175 million albums. Their pop songs are possibly the classical music of our time. The show is a musical docudrama of the lives of the four men in the group, their successes and failures as human beings and performers.

Each member of the Four Seasons tells the story of the group from their perspective. This includes excerpts from the life of Frankie Valli, who was a member of the original group and their lead singer.  The stories are not pretty. They involve gangsters, loan sharks, drugs and alcohol and of course a stage filled with their musical successes. Twenty of their best selling songs are presented during the two acts. The show has won four Tony Awards including best musical.

Here is a partial list of the songs in the show that will put goose bumps on your sense of musical nostalgia. In fact their rock and roll beat still lives today giving pleasure to audiences of all ages; Sherry, Big Girls Don't Cry, Walk Like a Man, My Boy Friend's Back in Town, My Eyes Adored You, Big Man In Town, Stay/Lets Hang On, C'mon Marianne, Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You, Working My Way back To You, Rag Doll, Who Loves You, Short Shorts and Don't You Worry About Me.

Although the show cast is mostly men, there are three very talented women who dance, and play multiple parts of wives and mothers of the main characters.

The show is currently at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel.

#4 The Beatles: Cirque du Soleil Love

The Beatles: Love - Las Vegas Best Shows
Seeing this show has been known to create a deep emotional love affair with the music of the Beatles. Imagine that you are seated in the Mirage Hotel theater. It has two thousand seats in a circle configuration. The furthest seat from the stage is only 98 feet away. In the theater are Six Thousand Three Hundred Speakers. You actually feel physically surrounded by the sound of Beatles' music.

The show is the brain child of the same artist who created Cirque du Soleil and has the same elements of beautiful fantasy. Mixed with these elements are thirty of the most loved Beatles' songs. Often the lyrics seem to give inspiration to the on-stage activities. As example, while an aerial ballet is enthralling the audience, the magnificent sound system is playing "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds."

The sound, lighting, special effects and sometimes circus-like atmosphere give the show a mild psychedelic feel. And well it should, because it traces the history of the Beatles through the Sixties, the era of the psychedelic inducing magic mushroom (drugs).

Along with the music are some 60 characters who make the stage come alive. There are aerialists, street dancers and players of extreme sports such as ramp jumping on skates.

This show will either start or renew your love affair with the Beatles.

#5 Penn and Teller

Penn and Teller Las Vegas - Top 10 Vegas Shows
As you watch their show you cannot help but become deeply engrossed in both the magic performed in front of your eyes and the comedic commentary of Penn. Unlike many magicians, they actually explain how some of the tricks work, but then as they add just a slight twist to it you are still amazed.

They sometimes have audience participation. In one illusion they blindfold a woman and actually make her believe she is throwing knives at Penn. Teller, the other half of the act, never speaks on stage. He mimes his way through the performance and often plays gory tricks on Penn. Off stage they are good friends.

Aside from being an excellent magician, Penn is an accomplished juggler who claims to specialize in juggling broken liquor bottles. He and Teller have been together since 1975. They have been on Broadway and sold out theaters all over the country. Their act is now featured at the Rio Suites Hotel, Las Vegas.

The entire performance is enhanced by an excellent jazz piano player. Penn and Teller use a heart stopping realistic illusion to end their act (at least I think it is an illusion). They actually fire guns at each other and somehow catch the bullets between their teeth. I know it sounds improbable, but seeing is believing This magic act is by far one of the best of its kind and will leave you with lasting memories.

#6 Blue Man Group

Blue Man Group - Best Las Vegas Shows
Imagine a show that no matter what country you are from, or what language you speak, will raise your spirits and put a smile on your face. The Blue Man Group has been doing this year after year at the Venetian Hotel.

They are a trio of dark costumed men with blue faces, no ears and strange looking wide apart eyes. Their appearance is both unsettling and humorous at the same time. No words are ever spoken by the group, but by gesture and special effects they are well understood and the simple universal themes of their act come across to the audience.

Music, especially drumming plays an important role in their performance. Much of the drum sound is created by their expertise in playing home made musical instruments made simply of PVC pipe. There is also a great sounding rock band to which the group really rocks enthusiastically. They have a hilarious bit where rock star moves are taught.

They love to play off the audience and will invite people on stage to participate in their theatrical madness. Stuffing their mouths with marshmallows and splattering paint on a white canvas somehow works and is a part of the show's charm.

The Blue Man Group had its beginnings in New York during the late eighties. They opened off Broadway in 1990 and have been an amazingly successful act ever since. In the year 2000 they came to Las Vegas. From 2005 on, the Venetian Hotel has been their home.

#7 Terry Fator and His Cast of Thousands

Terry Fator and His Cast of Thousands. Best Las Vegas Shows.
We have all heard someone say, "This is a million dollar act." Well, Terry actually won a million dollars with this act on America's Got Talent. When you see it on stage at The Mirage, the reason he won becomes obvious.

For the most part, the show consists of Terry Fator, a combination ventriloquist, excellent singer and comedian, having conversations with his various puppets. Fator's puppets easily give rise to comedic situations.

There is Vikki the 49 year old cougar who only dates guys 21 to 24. Another puppet is Maynard Thompkins, an Elvis impersonator who doesn't know any Elvis songs. Winston is a puppet the audience falls in love with, especially when he sings Roy Orbison's Crying. He is a turtle puppet looking for the Turtle Ranch as opposed to the Bunny Ranch.

Other members of the show's cast of characters are Johnny Vegas, a lounge singer who manages to incorporate the worst of Dean Martin and Tony Bennett. There is Emma Taylor who sings a spectacular version of the Etta James classic "At Last," Julius the soul singer and Wrex the crash car dummy.

I would be remiss if Walter T. Airdale the country singer with an eye for the ladies was not mentioned, as well as Hyphen - the Fifth Beatle who was thrown out of the Beatles group. Also, Duggie Scott Walker the annoying neighbor who has partied so much at concerts he sees strobes light everywhere. Finally, we have Berry Fabulous - a recovering lawyer who left that career as he begins his around the world tour as the world’s most famous male diva.

Many people see the show more than once. Fator proudly says it's to see the puppets, not him.


 
#8 Celine Dion

Celine Dion Las Vegas. Best Vegas Shows.
There are very few female vocalists who can command the stage at Caesars Palace for an hour and a half and leave the audience begging for more. But Celine manages to do so every night of her sold out performances.

Some of her music critics are not as kind as they might be. They criticize Dion's singing as being too sugary, too sentimental. Yet, the love affair between the Songstress Dion and her audience just gets stronger as the night's show progresses.

Celine turns out albums both in French and English. Her French recording, "D'eux" is one the best selling albums of all time. It sold over 173 million copies. So much for the music critics.

She is currently featured at the 4,300 seat theater at Caesars Palace and will be there for the next few years. There are a few interesting innovations in her act. One of them is based upon the use of technology, where she sings a duet with herself as she appears as a hologram. During the course of her performance she stops from time to time and talks with the audience helping to create a feeling of intimacy.

Her repertoire includes hit songs by Billy Joel, Michael Jackson and Ella Fitzgerald, as well as her own hits such as, "My Heart Will Go On," "It's All Coming Back to Me" and "Because You Loved Me."

 #9 Elton John - The Million Dollar Piano

Elton John - The Million Dollar Piano. The Best Las Vegas Shows
The sign at Caesars says, "Elton John and His Million Dollar Piano," so the first thing everybody wants to know about is the piano. It was designed and made by Yamaha. What makes it unique is that there are almost 70 LED displays on the side of the instrument. They provide a perfect visual accompaniment to what is being played.

Elton John jokes that the piano is so high tech it can microwave food, but points out it will not barbeque. The real truth is that Elton can share the stage with almost anything that makes music and still please a crowd.

His show starts off with the song, "The Bitch Is Back," followed by "Rocket Man." He is backed up by a great sounding five piece band, two part time cellists and four female singers.

His last play date in Las Vegas ended a five year run in 2009. Elton is now starting a three year contract at Caesars. Included in the performance is a tribute to his friend Elizabeth Taylor. He sings the song written for her - "Blue Eyes," while images of Elizabeth are shown on a stage bathed in a blue light.

The stage changes color to yellow as he sings, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," a song about his earlier life. Another of his well known songs "Philadelphia Freedom" is amazingly energized from the red, white and blue lights of the piano LEDs and stage lighting. Other show stopping numbers include "Crocodile Rock" and "I'm Still Standing."

This show can only leave you as a fan of Elton John, song writer and performer.

 #10 David Copperfield

David Copperfield - Best Las Vegas Shows
We have all seen David Copperfield perform his amazing illusions on television, such as making the Statue of Liberty disappear and walking right through the Great Wall of China. But when you see it on television there may be a slight suspicion that it was done with technical special effects.

Seeing his act in person, at the MGM Grand Hotel will convince you of just how wonderful a magician he really is. Many critics say he is the best in the world.

Since it is impractical (if not impossible) to have the Great Wall of China on a Las Vegas stage, he does the next best thing. David sets up a large piece of sheet metal which the audience examines, covers himself and it with a sheet, and then miraculously appears on the other side of the sheet metal.

Although many magicians put their assistants in a box and proceed to saw them in half, David has a different way of doing things. He puts himself in a box, and with his arms and legs moving, the box begins to grow shorter shrinking his body into mere inches.

Accompanying David's vast stable of tricks and illusions is an excellent sense humor and comedy. It should be noted that David Copperfield has sold more tickets to his performances than any other solo entertainer in the world.

Elton John and the Million Dollar Piano

Elton John and the Million Dollar Piano Las VegasIf the truth be told, Elton John does not need a million dollar piano to be one of the supreme celebrity entertainers ever to grace a Las Vegas theater.
