Vegas star performances schedule. The best shows, concerts and musicals in Las Vegas. Who is David Copperfield
Before choosing an evening show, I spent a lot of time reading reviews and reviews about the best shows in Las Vegas. Initially, we wanted to go to the show “O” by Cirque Du Soleil, which takes place at the Bellagio Hotel, but just before departure we were strongly recommended to pay attention to the show of professional acrobats from the group Le Reve - The Dream, who were performing on the stage of the Wynn Theater of the hotel Wynn Las Vegas. We listened to the recommendation and did not regret it.
In general, I don’t really like the circus and everything connected with it; I never liked tricks and clowns. But, you know, now I’m writing this report, when a lot of time has already passed, and I still get goosebumps all over my body from the impressions that I received.
The Dream performance takes place from Friday to Tuesday at 19.00 and 21.30; Wednesday and Thursday are the artists' days off.
Ticket prices for the show vary by location.
Poolside seating - seats in rows 14-16 at the very bottom by the pool. Cost $115 + taxes. I would highly not recommend these places, because you will sit with your head up all the time. There is also the option of getting wet.
Golden circle seating - seats in rows 18-24. Cost $155 + taxes. In my opinion, the most optimal places are those from which you can see both the lower and upper parts of the stage equally well. Actually, we took the 19th row.
Grandview seating - seats in rows 26-31. Cost $140+ taxes. The upper part is better visible, but what is happening below is not at all visible. For those who like to see the whole picture in general.
Dream seating - seats in the last row in sectors C, D, E. Cost $165 + taxes. Luxurious seats with individual HD monitors, including behind-the-scenes views.
Indulgence seating - seats in the last row in sectors A, B, F. Cost $205 + taxes. The most expensive places, also equipped with cool chairs and private monitors. But here in addition there are a bunch of different bonuses: free champagne, strawberries with chocolate, truffles, as well as VIP access to certain restaurants and nightclubs of the Wynn and Encore hotels.
It is better to arrive to the performance 15-20 minutes before the start. Everyone is searched and invited to take seats according to the tickets purchased. Taking photos and videos is allowed, but flash is strictly prohibited.
When you get inside, you immediately pay attention to the scene, which consists entirely of a huge swimming pool. At first you can’t even imagine what ordinary water contains, but the action begins and you realize that water is the main character here. It falls from above like a waterfall, shoots out from the depths of the stage, suddenly appears and scatters again throughout the entire circumference of the hall.
Throughout the entire performance, an international team of professionals keeps you in pleasant emotional tension, performing spectacular stunts on the verge of human capabilities. They either jump from a great height into the pool, performing acrobatic acts, or emerge from the hidden depths of the pedestal, demonstrating water tricks, or show the audience passionate dances, or suddenly find themselves among you. All this is accompanied by colorful costumes, a constantly transforming stage and an enchanting plot intertwining light, water and amazing live music, which immerses you in a magical fairy tale called a dream. Actually, that’s what the show is called in translation.
Have a nice fiery evening everyone! As you know, the city is not cheap. But not everyone knows that there are many places where you can watch exciting shows and appreciate impressive exhibitions without paying a penny. What a twist! In this way, hotels attract visitors, pleasing the eye and leaving unforgettable moments in their memory. Most of these locations are located right on, and one more is in Downtown, on. For those who don’t want to stop there, information about paid shows and museums at the end of the article will be useful.
The most famous spectacle of Las Vegas, which you definitely need to see with your own eyes. The best time For this purpose, the time of day is considered to be dark, but the fountains look impressive even during the day. The essence of this show is a combination of opera music and water jets “dancing” to it. Looking at what was happening, I felt goosebumps running across my skin in the rhythm of a waltz.
- Where: near the hotel.
- When: the show lasts only 5 minutes, and runs every hour from morning to night; the last one is at 23:55.
2. Garden of fresh flowers at the Bellagio Conservatory. Immediately after the fountain show, I advise you to look into the stunningly beautiful garden of tens of thousands of fresh flowers, which is located in the same hotel. The theme of the garden is updated 5 times a year according to the season - Chinese New Year, spring, summer, autumn and winter. For example, in the spring, as many as 82,830 flowers are displayed in the garden. This perfect place for photos and a little rest from the noise of the city.
- Where: at the hotel.
- When: the garden is open every day around the clock, but several times a year it closes for a few days for rearrangement (May 15-19, September 11-15, November 26-30).
Deciding to compete with Bellagio, the Mirage Hotel came up with its own “trick” and installed an improvised volcano that “erupts” for tourists several times during the day. We missed this show, completely forgetting about it, so I won’t be able to rate it. If you manage to watch it, share your impressions in the comments.
- Where: at the Mirage Hotel.
- When: starts at 20:00 and 21:00, Fri-Sat again at 22:00.
For children and adults, circus performances are held every 30-45 minutes at the hotel in a specially installed mini-arena. They change throughout the day - these can be acrobats, fakirs, magicians, strongmen, trapeze walkers and other artists from different countries, including even Russia. We hit the cyclists.
- Where: in the hotel arena.
- When: starts at 11:15, last performance at 22:45, Fri-Sat at 23:45. Duration: 15-20 minutes.
Caesar's Palace invites us to plunge into the world of the kingdom of Atlantis. Inside the hotel's shopping center there is a fountain with statues that come to life during the performance. They begin to move to the music, delighting the visitors.
- Where: At the end of The Forum Shops at the hotel. It will be easier to enter not through the main entrance of the hotel, but through a separate extension, which will be a little to the right (see photo).
- When: the duration of the show is 5 minutes, it takes place every hour from 11:00-23:00, Fri-Sat until 00:00.
6. Live flamingos and colorful fish in the garden of the Flamingo Hotel. Another pleasant way to take a break from the bustling city is to relax by an artificial waterfall and watch the colorful fish in the garden of the Flamingo Hotel. The garden is small, but quite interesting. Parrots, real pink flamingos and turtles in the pond - isn’t it lovely?
- Where: hotel backyard
- When: I don’t know the exact opening hours, but the garden is open from early morning until late evening.
7. Light show Fremont Street Experience and live artists on Fremont Street. In Downtown Las Vegas on Fremont Street, LG Electronics installed a giant screen 460 meters long. The screen accommodates more than 12 million LED displays, which are controlled by 10 computers at once. Several times a day he shows videos accompanied by music from DJ Tiesto, The Doors, etc. This spectacle is unique and one of a kind; it attracts more than 17 million tourists every year. At the same time, it is absolutely free.
- Where: .
- When: the show lasts less than 10 minutes, it runs every hour every day at 20:00, 21:00, 22:00, 23:00 and 00:00, Fri-Sat again at 01:00.
Fremont also hosts a variety of street performers throughout the day and into the night, from costumed "living statues" to mimes, dancers, magicians and artists. There is a stage where singers and bands perform in the evenings (to the left of the 4 Queens Hotel).
- The hotel used to host a grand Pirates show. We really hoped to get to it, but we were sad to discover that it had not existed for a couple of years. According to reviews, the show was impressive - it showed the scene of the capture of a ship by pirates, but it turned out to be too expensive for the hotel.
8. Free entertainment for hotel guests. Some Strip hotels offer free entertainment for its guests. If you are not one, you can still use the services by simply paying for the ticket. For example, the hotel is famous for its mini roller coaster.
There is an observation deck on the roof of the hotel from which you can see the entire city.
9. About paid museums, shows and exhibitions. In addition to freebies, Las Vegas offers its guests paid museums, shows and exhibitions. I will list the brightest of them.
- Neon Museum– here is a collection of old neon hotel signs from Vegas. Hotels are periodically demolished, but their colorful banners remain. A daytime visit is possible, but in the evening it will be more interesting - the signs light up in the dark. The museum is located on the Strip. What I didn’t like: you need to book tickets in advance on the website; Moreover, if for some reason you do not have time to get there at the right time, as happened with us, the tickets are lost. No matter how I begged over the phone, explaining a good reason, I had to say goodbye to the bucks that had flown into the museum’s treasury.
- Exhibition of artifacts from the Titanic liner (Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition)– the hotel contains rare exhibits from the famous liner Titanic. The authors of the exhibition recreated “the same staircase” from the first class lounge. You can take photos on it for an additional fee.
- The Mob Museum– its full name: “ National Museum Organized Crime and Law Enforcement" (The National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement), which speaks for itself. This is a huge area with interactive exhibits. Located in Downtown.
- Zak Bagans’ The Haunted Museum- a new product from the creator of the show “Ghost Adventures”. The museum is dedicated to all things paranormal. Here you will find old dolls and various objects that may even have been inhabited by someone’s souls.
- As for paid shows, there are more than enough of them. The brightest and most famous shows in Las Vegas are productions Cirque du Soleil: O, Ka, Zumanity, Le Reve and others. I personally haven’t visited any of them yet, but judging by the reviews, they are particularly spectacular and professionally organized. Tickets will cost you an average of $100; shows take place in different hotels Strip.
- The hotel is famous for the performances of David Copperfield, the Medieval Tournament of Kings. The show of illusionist Criss Angel “Believe” is popular. All you have to do is choose the show you like and enjoy. As I already said, there is never a dull moment in Las Vegas.
All we expect from Vegas is spectacle! We are not gamblers, so we really hope that there will be some left over for bread :) This post briefly describes our plans in Vegas and the list of free and not so free shows that Las Vegas is so famous for. Go!
Vegas is one of the main “strongholds” of our trip, and the first on the list on our route. We will stay here for 2 days. To be precise, we will arrive in Vegas on June 4th at approximately 21.00, and depart on the morning of June 7th, i.e. 2 days and 2.5 pm. I counted the first evening as half, although it can be completely erased from the schedule... It is unlikely that after 20 hours on the road (10 hours Moscow-New York + 5 hours of waiting + 5.5 hours flight to Vegas) we will be drawn to any adventures . Maybe just look around the hotel and watch the Bellagio fountain show, fortunately our hotel is very close.
In general, I must say that this is our first time flying across the ocean and such a long journey plus the time difference makes it almost pointless to make any plans for the first couple of days. But nevertheless, let's hope for the best and still try to plan something, otherwise it might turn out like on our trip to Prague: we put everything off until the last minute and ended up just wandering around the city. Although there is something in this too... :)
But let's go back to Vegas. I did a little digging on the net, primarily for free shows in Las Vegas, and made a short list of what I would like to see:
- Fountain show at the Bellagio Hotel (15.00 - 19.00 every hour, then every 15 minutes until midnight)
- Volcano near the Mirage Hotel (18.00 - 23.00)
- Replica of Venice in miniature, Hotel Venice (24 hours, gondolas for a fee)
- Aquarium at Silverton Hotel (24 hours, fish are fed at 13.30 and 16.30)
- Pirate Show near the Treasure Island Hotel (17.30, 19.00, 20.30, 22.00)
- MGM World and Lion Enclosure, MGM Hotel (9:00 - 12:00)
- Concert venue near the Flamingo Hotel, daily concerts
This is not the most full list, of course, I chose a few shows to suit my tastes. All list of free Las Vegas shows look at this bourgeois website. I've made a little map of the Las Vegas shows to give you some idea of what's roughly where.
As for paid shows, we are planning to go to a performance from Cirque du Soleil called “O”, the reviews are very impressive. Not cheap, but they say this show is worth the money. Let's see...
Well, the last point can be called the most expensive and most grandiose event - a helicopter excursion to Grand Canyon.
But now it’s time to admit to myself, and at the same time inform you that in one fell swoop, or rather with two events, we cover the entire budget planned for excursions and entertainment :) It should be noted that I assumed such an outcome at the stage of the inception of the idea of a helicopter excursion . Initially, when we were planning our expenses, we were going to the Canyon in a rented car, but then we decided to “buzz, buzz” :) So, let me go and correct our calculations a little. It's Vegas, baby, there's nothing you can do...
Show news "Celine"
Over the years of her career, the outstanding singer Celine Dion was awarded five Grammy awards. (Grammy Awards), twelve World Music Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards, seven American Music Awards and many other prestigious awards. In total, more than 220 million Celine Dion albums and CDs have been sold worldwide. This is the best result among female singers and one of the best results among male performers of all time!!!

The show continues to sell out the hotel theater Caesars Palace- The Colosseum. Celine Dion recently agreed to extend her performances in Las Vegas until January 20, 2019, including a New Year's Eve show on the evening of December 31, 2018.

The legendary artist, whose music erases the difference between generations, Carlos Santana and the management of the famous music venue "House of Blues" casino hotel "Mandalay Bay" pleased fans of the work of the outstanding musician and all lovers of excellent guitar music: the maestro will stay in Las Vegas for several more years!

The Milagro Foundation, which supports talented children and youth, and also provides grants to children for education and health.
Who is David Copperfield?
The David Copperfield Show in Las Vegas has been a great success for many years. One of the pillars of modern magic is an extraordinary person not only on stage, but also in life. Here are just a few facts. Born in 1956 as David Kotkin (of Russian origins), at the age of 12 he became the youngest member in history of the Society of American Illusionists. In 1983, David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty "disappear" on live television. Programs with his participation won Emmy awards for the best television programs of the year in the USA 21 (!!!) times. Grand show on Broadway "Dreams and Nightmares" (Dreams and Nightmares), created by David Copperfield together with Francis Coppola, broke all box office records.
Las Vegas is famous not only for its casinos, but also for the fact that it is here that you can see the most grandiose, technically complex and spectacular shows in the world, as well as concerts of pop and rock stars and fights of the best boxers.
Las Vegas hosts more tourists per year than all of France, and most of them go there with the intention of attending one or even several shows and concerts. As a result, with tickets to popular shows and, most importantly, with good places, there are almost always problems, especially if you start doing this upon arrival, at the last minute. Therefore, we always recommend to our clients choose and buy in advance online tickets to the best shows, musicals and concerts in Las Vegas.
ATTENTION: THIS IS IMPORTANT!
These are “electronic” tickets: after payment, you can print them on your computer.
If this is your first time dealing with ticket brokers or you have questions regarding payment and delivery of purchased tickets, please read: How to buy tickets from brokers.

The legend beloved by tourists that the Strip was “invented” by the friend and associate of Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky, gangster dandy Bugsy Siegel, aka Benjamin Siegelbaum, is just a legend. Hotels El Rancho And "Last Frontier" opened on the Strip several years before Hollywood publisher Billy Wilkerson "invited" Bugsy to become a partner in building the hotel "Flamingo".
Bugsy's real merit is that he was the first to guess that performances by famous singers and musicians in casinos would bring additional income and help lure customers away from competitors. The idea was tested during the hotel's opening ceremony "Flamingo" in 1946, a whole group of famous artists and Hollywood stars performed there.
Since then, the “war” between Las Vegas hotels for the most grandiose concerts and shows, to the delight of millions of tourists, has not stopped for a single day. Hotels do not skimp, and the most famous performers, from the legendary Elvis Presley (Elvis Presley) and Frank Sinatra (Frank Sinatra) to the modern idols of millions - Madonna (Madonna), Elton John (Elton John), Lady Gaga (Lady Gaga), Rihanna (Rihanna), Adele (Adele), Celine Dion (Celin Dion), Pink (Pink), Jennifer Lopez (Jennifer Lopez), Pitbull (Pitbull), as well as popular rock groups "Muse" (Muse), "Hu" (The Who), "Fish" (Phish), "Metallica" (Metallica) and many other world stars of show business perform in Las Vegas with great pleasure.
But the secret of the attractiveness of Las Vegas is not only in the concerts of the stars, but in the fact that there is entertainment for every taste, from performances of magicians and tiger tamers to grand shows and water extravaganzas with the participation of international performing groups. 
The most fashionable choreographers, musicians, designers take part in staging such shows, and engineers specially create unique hall designs, multi-level swimming pools, etc. There are no such shows anywhere in the world, primarily because only in Las Vegas such funds are invested in entertainment for tourists. An example is the magnificent shows of Cirque du Soleil. ("Cirque du Soleil") "O", "KA", "Love", "Zumanity", "Mystere", staging, costumes, construction and equipment of special halls for which cost hundreds (!!!) of millions of dollars!
Broadway musicals can be seen not only in New York, but also in Las Vegas. Such popular musicals as "Jersey Boys" are on or have already been on the Strip. (Jersey Boys), "Menopause" (Menopause), "Rock forever" (Rock of Ages), "The Lion King" (The Lion King), "Phantom of the Opera" (Phantom: The Las Vegas Spectacular) and others. The capabilities and creativity of the people involved in entertaining tourists in Las Vegas cannot be underestimated. It is possible that someday new musicals will be staged in Las Vegas, and they will be brought on tour to Broadway...
When talking about various entertainment in Las Vegas, one cannot fail to mention “adult” shows, of which there are also a great many here. And we are not talking about a banal striptease in a smoky hall - no! These are colorful erotic shows, for example, Zumanity Cirque du Soleil. Some shows are aimed specifically at female audiences.
Today there is so much entertainment in Las Vegas that it is increasingly difficult to find time to play in the casino. It is quite difficult to independently understand all this diversity, as well as correctly combine visiting a show or concert with other elements of your stay in Las Vegas... We are always happy to help you!
