In Help Me Choose we ask our expert writers to help us make the best decision for our trip. In this edition we asked Las Vegas expert Jesse Scott to help us narrow down all those amazing Vegas shows.
One thing is clear within your first minutes in Las Vegas – the city’s shows want your attention. Advertisements for Vegas' signature entertainment plaster the baggage claim area at Harry Reid International Airport. On your drive to your hotel, it’s billboards aplenty outside the airport, on Interstate 15 and even atop taxis. It doesn’t stop there – you’ll see digital billboards attached to the back of slowly sauntering trucks on The Strip.
With so many options in so many forms – spanning comedy, music residencies, magic and everything in between – it can be difficult to pick just one (or even a couple) to check out during your stay. In a city full of good and bad bets, these are your best bets when it comes to choosing a Las Vegas show.
Through the decades, Cirque du Soleil has become synonymous with Las Vegas. The Canadian-bred entertainment company specializes in circus shows, each with their own artistic flair, immersive experiences, colorful characters and customized tunes.

O at The Bellagio is another standout with a water-filled setting, including divers and synchronized swimmers in addition to Cirque’s typical dosage of high-flying acrobats.
It’s been the talk of the town since opening in late 2023. Sphere is equally as captivating outside and inside, thanks to its exterior shell made of 1.2 million hockey-puck sized lights that work together to create a variety of larger-than-life images that are visible from miles away: a giant fireball, a jack-o-lantern, a massive emoji, the moon and more. Inside you’ll find seating for nearly 18,000 and the world’s largest wraparound LED display. Inside and out, it is visually stunning.
It's free to gawk at its exterior shell – you can easily do so from the neighboring Venetian, Palazzo, Wynn and Encore resorts. As for catching a show inside, Sphere has multiple daily showings of its nature-focused show Postcards from Earth, which puts its audio and visual capabilities on full display. Some of the biggest bands on Earth, like U2 and Phish, have notably
