Discover the top seven Las Vegas shows to catch in 2025, featuring a mix of comedy, music, and unique performances that promise fun.
Las Vegas: It’s tough to catch everything the city has to offer in live entertainment. Narrowing it down to the best shows is even harder. But we’ve got a Lucky 7-Pack of must-see shows for 2025.
This list includes some familiar favorites and a few surprises, but trust me, there’s not a bad pick in the bunch. Let’s dive in!
First up is ‘Mavericks.’ I’m convinced that downtown can host a top-notch residency. Amy Saunders has created a world-class comedy, circus, burlesque, and variety show. She’s not just the host; she’s a fantastic improv comic and a sword-swallower!
The acts change every time, so you’ll never see the same show twice. Expect jugglers, a zombie-hand act, some sexy magic, and cheap drinks. Tickets start at just $35, and as Saunders puts it, “You’re gonna walk into a beautiful room and enjoy yourself.”
Next, we have Penn & Teller. They’re celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2025, with shows in Australia, New York, and London, but they’ll still be at the Rio in Vegas. Their show “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” kicks off its 11th season on January 24 with a special anniversary episode.
Then there’s ‘Mad Apple’ from Cirque du Soleil. This show, which debuted in May 2022, has quickly become a hit with its NYC theme, rapid-fire acts, and live music. It’s a fresh take that’s won over skeptics.
Don’t miss the Bob Marley Hope Road experience opening this summer at Mandalay Bay. Co-produced by Ziggy Marley, it features a walk-through experience and a live show celebrating Marley’s legacy and messages of love and freedom.
Dita Von Teese, the “Queen of Burlesque,” is back at The Venetian. Her show is a glamorous mix of burlesque and diverse performers, creating a chic and classy Vegas experience.
And let’s not forget the New Kids on the Block! They’re reuniting for a residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, running from Valentine’s Day to November 15. It’s a nostalgic trip for fans!
Finally, ‘Awakening’ is entering its third year. This show is a spectacle of technical brilliance and grandiosity, and it’s still going strong. We’ll see if it continues to impress or if it was just a big-budget experiment.
So, there you have it! Seven shows that promise to make your Vegas trip unforgettable. Don’t miss out!
