THINGS TO DO

BEST VEGAS SHOWS RIGHT NOW

The best Las Vegas shows right now in 2026 — residencies, Cirque du Soleil, Sphere productions, magic, comedy. Where to stay for each.

01

The Sphere: Postcard from Earth

Immersive 16K visual experience. Not a concert — an IMAX on steroids. Stay at Venetian/Palazzo.

02

Adele at The Colosseum

When in town. Caesars is your stay. Nothing else comes close live.

03

Usher Residency

Wherever it's playing right now. Two-hour party — buy the meet-and-greet upgrade if your budget allows.

04

O by Cirque du Soleil

Bellagio. Water show. Old but still the one tourists should see.

05

Mystère by Cirque du Soleil

Treasure Island. Best bang-for-buck Cirque show. Family-friendly.

06

KÀ by Cirque du Soleil

MGM Grand. Most visually stunning stage in Vegas. Still flying trapezes after 20 years.

07

Absinthe

Caesars. Adults only. Comedy, burlesque, circus. Still hilarious year 14.

08

Michael Jackson ONE

Mandalay Bay. Cirque + MJ's catalog. Emotional even if you weren't a fan.

09

Magic Mike Live

Sahara. Bachelorette standard. Bring the bride.

10

Shin Lim at Mirage/future venue

Best close-up magic in Vegas right now.

11

Piff the Magic Dragon

Flamingo. Comedic magic. Cheaper than the big Cirque shows and arguably better.

12

David Copperfield

MGM Grand. The classic. Still impressive.

13

Criss Angel Mindfreak

Planet Hollywood. You either love it or you don't. No in-between.

14

The Beatles LOVE (closing)

Mirage — check status. If open, see it. If closed, streaming's the only way now.
