The best concerts in las vegas. Shows and concerts in las vegas

Good evening everyone! As you know, the city is not cheap. But not everyone knows that there are many places in it where you can watch exciting shows and appreciate impressive exhibitions without paying a dime for it. What a twist! In this way, hotels attract visitors, pleasing to the eye and leaving unforgettable moments in memory. Most of these locations are located directly on, and one more is in Downtown, on. For those who do not want to stop there, the information about paid shows and museums at the end of the article will come in handy.

The most famous sight in Las Vegas, which you definitely need to see with your own eyes. best time for this, the dark time of the day is considered, but during the day the fountains look impressive. The essence of this show is a combination of opera music and water jets “dancing” under it. Looking at what was happening, I felt goosebumps running along my skin in the rhythm of a waltz.

Where: at the hotel.
When: the show lasts only 5 minutes, and takes place every hour from morning to night; the last one is at 23:55.

2. Flower garden 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 is a great place for photos and a little break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Where: at the hotel.
When: The garden is open every day around the clock, but several times a year it is closed for a few days for relocation (May 15-19, September 11-15, November 26-30).

Deciding to compete with Bellagio, the Mirage hotel came up with its own "chip" and installed a makeshift volcano that "erupts" for tourists several times during the day. We missed this show, completely forgetting about it, so I can’t 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 at 22:00.

For children and adults, circus performances are organized every 30-45 minutes at the hotel in a specially installed mini-arena. They change throughout the day - they can be acrobats, fakirs, magicians, strongmen, trapeze walkers and other artists from different countries including even Russia. We got on cyclists.

Where: in the hotel arena.
When: Starts at 11:15, last show 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 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 show is 5 minutes long and runs every hour from 11:00-23:00, Fri-Sat until 00:00.

6. Live flamingos and colored fish in the garden of the Flamingo Hotel. Another pleasant way to take a break from the bustling city is to relax at the 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 - well, isn't it lovely?

Where: hotel backyard
When: I do not know the exact hours of operation, but the garden is open from early morning until late evening.

7. Light show Fremont Street Experience and artist performances on Fremont Street. In Downtown Las Vegas on Fremont Street, LG Electronics installed a giant screen 460 meters long. The screen fits more than 12 million LED displays, which are controlled by 10 computers at once. Several times a day, he shows videos accompanied by musical accompaniment by DJ Tiesto, The Doors and others. This spectacle is unique and one of a kind, it attracts more than 17 million tourists every year. At the same time, absolutely free.

Where: .
When: The show is less than 10 minutes long and runs every hour daily at 20:00, 21:00, 22:00, 23:00 and 00:00, Fri-Sat still at 01:00.

In addition, during the day and into the night on Fremont you can meet a variety of street performers - from dressed up in costumes of "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 grandiose Pirate show. We really hoped to get to it, but with regret we found that it has not existed for a couple of years. According to reviews, the show was impressive - it showed the scene of the capture of the 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 their guests. If you are not, then you can still use the services by simply paying for the ticket. For example, the hotel is famous for its mini-roller coasters.

On the roof of the hotel there is an observation platform from which the whole city is visible.

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.

Museum of Neon Signs (Neon Museum)- here is a collection of old neon signs of Vegas hotels. 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 did not like: you need to book tickets in advance on the site; moreover, if for some reason you do not have time to get to the right time, as happened with us, the tickets disappear. As I did not beg on the phone, explaining a good reason, I had to say goodbye to the bucks that had flown into the museum's piggy bank.
Exhibition of artifacts from the liner Titanic (Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition)– the hotel contains the rarest exhibits from the famous Titanic liner. The authors of the exhibition recreated "the same staircase" from the first class hall. You can take pictures 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 novelty from the creator of the show "Ghost Adventures". The museum is dedicated to everything paranormal. Here you will find old dolls and various items, in which, perhaps, someone's souls moved in.

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 myself have not yet visited a single one, but, judging by the reviews, they are distinguished by their special entertainment and professionalism of the organization. Tickets will cost you an average of $100; shows are held at various hotels in the Strip.
The hotel is famous for David Copperfield's performances, the Medieval Tournament of Kings. The illusionist Chris Angel's show "Believe" is popular. All you have to do is choose your favorite show and enjoy. As I said, there is no boring place in Las Vegas.

All we expect from Vegas is spectacle! We are not players, so we really hope that there will be bread left :) In this post, we will briefly talk about our plans in Vegas and a list of free and not so planned 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 in our route. Here we will stay for 2 days. To be precise, we will arrive in Vegas on June 4th at about 21.00, and depart on the morning of June 7th, i.e. 2 days and 2.5 pm. For half, I counted the first evening, although it can be completely deleted 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 . Except to see the surroundings of the hotel and stare at the Bellagio fountain show, since our hotel is very close.

In general, I must say that for the first time we are flying across the ocean and such long road 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 at least something, otherwise it may turn out like on our trip to Prague: put everything off until the last moment and in the end just wandered around the city. Although there is something in this too ... :)

But back to Vegas. I did a little digging on the net, first of all, about free shows in Las Vegas and made for myself a small list of what I would like to see:

Fountain show at the Bellagio Hotel (15.00 - 19.00 every hour, then until midnight every 15 minutes)
Volcano at Mirage Hotel (18.00 - 23.00)
Replica of Venice in miniature, hotel "Venice" (24 hours, gondolas for a fee)
Aquarium at the Silverton Hotel (24 hours, fish fed at 13.30 and 16.30)
Show of Pirates near the hotel "Treasure Island" (17.30, 19.00, 20.30, 22.00)
MGM World and Lion Enclosure, MGM Hotel (9.00 - 12.00)
Concert venue near Flamingo Hotel, daily concerts

It's not the best full list, of course, I chose a few shows to my taste. Whole list of free las vegas shows look here on this bourgeois site. I made a small map of the Las Vegas show so you have some idea of what is roughly where.

Of the paid shows, we plan to go to a Cirque du Soleil show called "O", very impressive reviews. 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 grandiose event - a helicopter tour in Grand Canyon.

And now it's time to admit to yourself, and at the same time tell you that in one fell swoop, or rather 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 birth of the idea of a helicopter tour . Initially, when our expenses were planned, we were going to the Canyon in a rented car, but then we decided to "buzz, so buzz" :) So I'll go and tweak our calculation a little. It's Vegas, baby, there's nothing you can do...

Since the "war" between hotels in Las Vegas for the most grandiose concerts and shows began, the menu of performances has only expanded and improved, to the delight of millions of tourists. Hotels do not skimp on fees, and the most famous performers, from Elvis Presley (Elvis Presley) and Frank Sinatra (Frank Sinatra) to Madonna (Madonna), Elton John (Elton John) and Celine Dion (Celine Dion), performed with great pleasure and performing in Las Vegas.

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 by magicians and tiger tamers to grandiose shows and water extravaganzas. The most fashionable choreographers, musicians, designers take part in staging such shows, and engineers specially create unique hall designs, multi-level pools, and the like.

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 KA, one of the new Cirque du Soleil shows: the staging, costumes, construction and equipment of a special hall for this show alone cost more than 160 million dollars!!! Children under 5 years of age are not allowed to the performance (The venue of the show is the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino).

In recent years, popular Broadway musicals have begun to move from New York to Las Vegas. The following are currently underway or preparing to open on the Strip:

Mamma Mia

"Mamma Mia" ("Mother Mia") is a cheerful, technically perfect performance, a world mega-hit, one of the most sensational shows. This musical is based on the songs of the group "ABBA". The musical tells the story of a 20-year-old girl who dreams of seeing her father at least once in her life. She chooses three possible candidates and invites them... to the wedding. This is a bright and dynamic performance, a memorable vaudeville with a fun storyline, great choreography and beloved music (Show Venue: Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Duration: 90 minutes).

Phantom of the Opera

"Phantom of the Opera" ("The Phantom of the Opera") - The production was carried out in the new complex "The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas.

The producers enlisted Jim Steinmeyer, who had worked with David Copperfield, to help refine some of the theatrical stunts.

Set in a custom-built theatre, with an interior that takes into account the larger size of the hall than the Opéra de Paris, the lair of the Phantom is the most grandiose musical of its kind staged to date. The interior design of the theater will instantly take you to the famous magical world of the Paris Opera. The production uses complex pyrotechnic effects on stage and throughout the theater, and stuntmen are involved in scenes that require, in addition to acting, physical skills and are the most exciting. In general, the largest troupe among all American productions participates in the performance!

The production cost $75 million.

In Las Vegas, The Phantom is cut to 95 minutes (instead of the 130 minutes of the London and Broadway production).

The Beatles

Show of the circus "Cirque du Soleil" (Cirque du Soleil) called "Love" ("Love"), dedicated to the history of the group The Beatles.

The plot of the show is part chronological and part fictional journey to an era when four people from Liverpool conquered the whole world. During the performance, photographs of the band members and episodes from their last concert are projected onto the walls of the hall. Fragments of interviews and working recordings are heard.

The show opens with "Because", along with "Yesterday", "Revolution", "Come Together" and other hits. Aerial acrobats, stilt performers, break dancers and skateboarders work on the stage.

They play the characters of the songs "Sgt. Pepper "s Lonely Herat Club Band", "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", "Lady Madonna" and the inhabitants of "Octopus" s Garden". The work was attended by Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney, Olivia Harrison and Yo-ko Ono.

A special hall for 2,000 spectators was built for screenings at the Mirage Hotel in Vegas.

"Le Reve"

The main concert hall of the Wynn Hotel is the POOL with indoor platforms and tunnels. Absolutely avant-garde solution. There are no analogues. Connection together Theater, Water. Ballet, Music will hypnotize you with staging magic throughout the Le Reve show! Duration: 90 minutes.

Blue Man Group (Blue Men Show)

A creative team that is best known for its stage stories. Lively, full of emotions, this new show is visually and aurally stunning with its musical power and fullness of impressions. The Blue Man Group is renowned for producing a unique musical style, with deft use of a variety of imaginary instruments. At their performances, fun and joy of the public always reign. In Las Vegas, the Blue Man Group performs in concert halls designed for at least 1200 seats. Around the world and in every country, this group has its own ardent fans (Duration: 90 minutes, Venetian Hotel).

"O"

This is an amazing show that connects 4 elements together: water, air, fire and earth. The best gymnasts, aerial acrobats, synchronized swimmers, divers and many others take part in the show. An unforgettable sight is woven from vivid images. Artists in costumes of the 15th-20th centuries (Venetian costumes of the Romantic period are especially good). In the center of everything that is happening is a huge pool with a capacity of 5.5 million liters of water. The spectacle is accompanied by a variety of music: from simple street melodies to exquisite opera parts - everything to create a unique mood for each act of the performance. A smooth steel grand piano glides across the stage, slowly sinking into the water at the end. Everything that happens is illuminated by a mystical, magical light. If you want to be recharged with amazing energy, experience all possible emotions, just plunge into the abyss of passion and experience true beauty, do not miss this unique spectacle!

The statistics of the most popular show in Las Vegas - "O": over 2000 performances since October 1998; 4 million viewers; about 300 artists have international diving certificates. © Duration: 90 minutes, Bellagio Hotel.

"Cirque de Solieil Mystere" (Mystique of the Cirque du Soleil)

Comedy with music, dance and acrobatics. A fabulous journey through ancient times. Korean and Chinese circus performances that demonstrate strength and dexterity, elegance and beauty, humor and kindness. The troupe consists of 72 artists from 18 countries (Show Venue: Treasure Island Hotel & Casino. Duration: 90 minutes).

Show for adults

Speaking about the various entertainments in Las Vegas, one cannot fail to mention the “adult” shows, of which there are also a great many. And we are not talking about a banal striptease in a smoky hall, no, these are just colorful erotic shows that take place in hotels. Several of these shows are designed specifically for a female audience.

Tickets at low prices

In the largest bottle of Coca-Cola in the world, located opposite the New York Hotel, there is a box office selling discounted tickets for shows starting that evening. A screen hangs above the box office, where a ticker informs about all the performances for which cheap tickets are offered, but it is not at all necessary that there will be such tickets for the show you have chosen. If your goal is not to save money, then tickets should be purchased in advance on the Internet or through your hotel. The price for one ticket is usually $50 - $100.

Before choosing an evening show, I read reviews and reviews about the best shows in Las Vegas for a very long time. Initially, we wanted to go to the Cirque du Soleil show “O”, which takes place at the Bellagio Hotel, but before the flight we were strongly advised to pay attention to the show of professional acrobats of the Le Reve — The Dream team, who perform on the stage of the hotel’s Wynn Theater 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 tricksters and clowns. But, you know, now I am writing this report, when a lot of time has already passed, and goosebumps still run through 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 artists have a day off.

Ticket prices for the show vary by location.

Poolside seeting - places on rows 14-16 at the very bottom by the pool. The cost is $115 + taxes. I would highly not recommend these places, because you will sit all the time with your head up. There is also an option to get wet.

Golden circle seating - seats in rows 18-24. The cost is $155 + taxes. In my opinion, the most optimal places, from where you can equally clearly see both the lower and upper parts of the stage. Actually, we took the 19th row.

Grandview seating - seats in rows 26-31. The cost is $140+ taxes. The upper part is better visible, but what is happening below is not visible at all. For those who like to see the whole picture in general.

Dream seating - seats on the last row in sectors C, D, E. Cost $ 165 + taxes. Luxurious seats with individual HD quality monitor, including behind-the-scenes views.

Indulgence seating - seats on the last row in sectors A, B, F. The cost is $ 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 for selected restaurants and nightclubs of Wynn and Encore hotels.

It is best to arrive 15-20 minutes before the show starts. Everyone is screened and invited to take seats according to the purchased tickets. Taking photos and videos is allowed, but flash is strictly prohibited.

When you get inside, you immediately pay attention to the stage, which consists entirely of a huge pool. At first, you can’t even imagine what ordinary water is fraught with, but the action begins and you realize that water is the main character here. It falls from above like a waterfall, shoots from the depths of the scaffolding, suddenly appears and again dissipates around the entire circumference of the hall.

Throughout the performance, an international team of professionals keeps you in a pleasant emotional tension, performing spectacular tricks on the verge of human capabilities. They either jump from a great height into the pool, performing acrobatic numbers, or emerge from the hidden depths of the pedestal, demonstrating water tricks, or show passionate dances to the audience, or suddenly find themselves among you. All this is accompanied by colorful costumes, a constantly transforming stage and an enchanting story that intertwines light, water and amazing live music that immerses you in a magical fairy tale called a dream. Actually, that's what the show is called in translation.

Today, there are so many entertainments in Las Vegas that it is increasingly difficult to find time to play in the casino. It is quite difficult to sort out all this diversity on your own, as well as to correctly combine a visit to a show or concert with the rest of the elements of your stay in Las Vegas. We are always happy to help you!
