Vegas Baby, Vegas! Who's Shaking Up Sin City This Summer?
Las Vegas: the glittering oasis in the desert, a place where fortunes are won and lost (mostly lost), and buffets flow like the tears of a Cirque du Soleil clown who missed his mark. But Vegas isn't just about questionable life choices and questionable tans acquired indoors. It's also a haven for live entertainment, with a constant parade of A-listers, has-beens, and performers you never knew existed (but secretly kind of want to see anyway).
So, you're planning a Sin City spectacular and want to catch a show that'll have you saying "WOW!" instead of "wow, that was a bad decision." Well, fret no more, my friend, because you've stumbled upon the most informative, and undeniably hilarious, guide to who's gracing the Las Vegas stages this sizzling summer!
QuickTip: Skim first, then reread for depth.

| What Artists Are Performing In Las Vegas |
From Grammy Winners to, Well, Whoever This Is...
Las Vegas caters to all tastes, or at least all the tastes that involve feathers, sequins, and questionable dance moves. Here's a quick rundown of what awaits:
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.
- The Legends: We're talking icons, folks! Catch Garth Brooks belting out "Friends in Low Places" like it's 1990 all over again, or Lionel Richie smooth-talking his way into your heart (and maybe your wallet) with his "King of Hearts" show.
- The Hitmakers: Want to relive your teenage angst? Then Missy Elliott is bringing the fire with her "Out of This World" experience! If pop is more your speed, Christina Aguilera is ready to unleash her powerhouse vocals.
- The Wildcard: Ever heard of Tash Sultana? No? Well, here's your chance! This Aussie up-and-comer is bringing their unique blend of psychedelic rock to Vegas, and who knows, you might just discover your new favorite artist (or at least have a great story about the random act you saw in Vegas).
But Wait, There's More!
This is Vegas, baby, there's always more! We've just scratched the surface of the musical mayhem. You can also catch:

Remember: This list is just a taste of what Vegas has to offer. New shows are constantly popping up, so be sure to do your research before you hit the jackpot... I mean, the stage!
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.
How to Vegas Like a High Roller (Even if You're on a Budget)
- Snag Those Tickets Early: Popular shows sell out fast, so don't wait until the last minute to snag yours.
- Consider Resident Performers: Many big names have residencies in Vegas, meaning you can catch them for multiple shows, often at slightly lower prices.
- Look for Deals: Check out discount ticket websites and casino loyalty programs for ways to save a few bucks.
- Free (or Almost Free) Entertainment: Believe it or not, there's plenty of free entertainment in Vegas! Check out the volcano eruption at The Mirage, the Bellagio Conservatory's botanical masterpieces, or the street performers at Fremont Street Experience.
