One of the first things people think about
when talking about Las Vegas is gambling,
another of the things that Las Vegas is renowned
for is fantastic entertainment. Some of
the worlds greatest stars have had long-running
shows in Las Vegas, including Elton John, Barry
Manilow, Celine Dion, Bette Midler, Tom Jones
and many more. Often these shows get
booked up months in advance because the staging,
costumes, and general glitz and glamour are so
amazing.
Other
spectacular performances include astounding
acrobatic acts like those of Cirque du
Soleil, musical performances such as The
Phantom of the Opera, magic and illusion
from David Copperfield, and there are even
interactive shows that allow you to walk the
deck of Starship Enterprise, plus plenty of
shows suitable for children if you are
taking a family holiday in Las Vegas.
If you
want the best of the best then I would
certainly recommend The Phantom of the
Opera, thanks to its $40 million Opera
House, with luxurious red velvet seats,
built especially for the performances, and
stunning costume design. The live
performance is awe-inspiring and you can’t
help but get caught up in the atmosphere and
I was left with goose-bumps at the thrill of
the spectacle.
Acrobatic spectaculars from Cirque du Soleil
are always worth going to see, but for the
most dramatic you should visit The Bellagio.
The hotel in its own right is beautiful, and
easily well worth a visit, but the show will
leave you speechless. The power and
athleticism of the performers is spectacular
and the set is phenomenal.
No matter what your preference Las Vegas will
have a show to suit your tastes, however some
can be expensive so do see if your hotel will
offer any special deals on shows before you book
elsewhere. Also, as soon as you know the
dates for your visit to the city it is worth
deciding which shows you would like to see and
getting these booked, as you don’t want to miss
out on something you really wanted to see
because it is booked up during your stay.
