A Las Vegas vacation would not be complete with taking in a couple of shows. Shows in Las Vegas take on a whole new meaning with tons of glamour, tons of glitz, and some big names are headlining packed venues. If you’re planning a trip to Vegas, be sure to book the shows that you want to see well in advance because many of them are simply sellouts from day one.

Cirque De Soleil (Circus of the Sun) has four permanent shows in Las Vegas – and it because the shows are so popular and dazzling that it became necessary to keep them there permanently. Cirque De Soleil is out of Quebec, Canada and began with a couple of street performers. It is a circus that does not have any animals and now does not use a big top. The shows are completely made up of acrobats that defy the imagination. After attending one of the Cirque De Soleil shows in Vegas believing people can really fly does not seem so farfetched. The top of the Cirque De Soleil shows is Zumanity, all of the shows are great but Zumanity is the greatest by far. Zumanity is for adults and only open to the eighteen and over crowd. There is not actual nudity in the show but the costumes are made to enhance body parts and depict nudity. A great show that is sensual and tasteful – and a real treat for couples to enjoy.

Bette Midler has found a home in Las Vegas and puts on an amazing show. There are show girls and props that are just mind boggling and of course Ms. Midler’s voice brings down the house every night that she is on stage. If you see one show while you’re on vacation in Vegas, don’t miss “Ms. Midler”.

O plays at the Bellagio and is awe inspiring. There are seventeen synchronized swimmers, and part of the show is underwater! Seeing this spectacle is the only way to truly understand the wow factor. There are fire eaters and clowns and acrobats in the mix of O as well – it is just a real good time for the entire family.

Mystere is the longest running show in Vegas. The show has been running for twenty five years. The displays are fascinating. The costumes are vibrant and the music is phenomenal. The actors that portray birds seem to grow feathers right before your eyes. There is never a moment that you are not entertained at this show. This show has become a Vegas staple. This is the show that every other show is compared to, whether discussing the costumes or the music or the acrobatics, Mystere takes the cake.

Criss Angel performs at the Luxor Las Vegas and this show is beyond magical, it is downright phenomenal. You may have seen Criss Angel on his television series, Criss Angel: Mindfreak. After this show you will believe in magic. This show engrosses the audience and captivates the imagination. The young and old will be wowed by this extravaganza of illusions.
