1. The Beatles “Love” at the Mirage – The Best Show in Las Vegas
Image Courtesy of MGM MirageStand outside the theater as the show lets out and that should be an indication to you as to how good this show is. It’s the perfect combination of good music and stunning performers. If there is only one show in Las Vegas that you will see, you will not be disappointed if you choose LOVE. I often tell people that this is the best show in Las Vegas and that no matterhow many times see it it still amazing.

2. Blue Man Group

So simple, so complicated, so basic, so advanced. Two shows nightly, everyday of the week, you can bet they are doing something right.
3. Mystere at Treasure Island Hotel
This is the first Cirque du Soliel show to hit Las Vegas and I still think it is among the best. There is a story line and the pre-show entertainment is worth getting to the showroom 30 minutes early. The drums from high above set the tone and the visual display of athleticism is worth every penny of the cost of a ticket to Mystere.
4. Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian Hotel
That guy screaming Christine! Christine! as you walk down the Las Vegas strip, that’s me. I’m a huge fan and Phantom the Las Vegas Spectacular is a version you do not want to miss. Take out the intermission and I believe you add something to the entire production. The theater is great and the performance is incredible.
5. Viva Elvis at Aria Resort and Casino
Photo by Julie Aucoin“Viva Elvis” presents Elvis Presley and his life in such a way that the Las Vegas visitor who is a fan of the King and his music will come out excited and pleased. What the show does not do is satisfy the Cirque du Soleil fan who wants to be mesmerized by the typical spectacular and stunning performers who have taken residence on the Las Vegas Strip.
6. “O”-Cirque Du Soleil, Bellagio Hotel Las Vegas
Personally, I like Mystere, at Treasure Island, much more but the general consensus seems to be that “O” at the Bellagio Hotel is much better. I spent too much time trying to figure out how to hold my breath for 3 minutes underwater to enjoy the show. The performers are extremely talented and you will be impressed. The price tag can be high but the entertainment is up there with the best in Las Vegas.
7. Jersey Boys at the Palazzo Las Vegas
Photo By Isaac BrekkenThe Jersey Boys in Las Vegas is a tough ticket to get but the show is consistently ranked among the best. A good story, a talented cast and the familiar sounds of a generation that set the tone for entertainment for plenty of years since. JERSEY BOYS is the story of how a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of town became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time. They were Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi.
8. Sinatra: Dance With Me at Wynn Las Vegas
The music of Sinatra Dance with me, evokes a response, the toe tapping, the finger snapping and the giddy feeling you know that is a response to love. From the moment you hear the horns in the opening number until the curtains glide down to signal the end of the night the energy is consistent.

9. Le Reve at Wynn Las Vegas
Le Reve at Wynn Las Vegas takes you beyond the ordinary and welcomes you into the sublime. From any seat in the Wynn Theater you get a view of the more than 80 athletes and entertainers as they engage your imagination with a performance that borders the space between imagination and reality. “Le Reve” (The Dream) allows you to escape into the world created by your mind as your subconscious takes over and you drift off to dream.
10. Penn and Teller at the Rio Las Vegas
Courtesy of Harrah’s EntertainmentMore people seem to love this show than I would ever have guessed. It’s a good show but I cannot imagine how many people love the quick witted nature of Penn and the facial expressions of Teller. The bartender was quick to note that she believed they were pouring stiff drinks in the theater because people seemed to be having a lot more fun after that show than any other in Las Vegas. As Las Vegas shows go Penn and Teller do succeed in keeping you interested for the full 90 plus minutes.
