You simply won’t be able to get the British Pop sensation’s catchy tunes out of your head after a glitzy show at The Venetian’s Voltaire, where the Kylie Minogue Residency is the first live act to come out of this latest intimate club event venue.

Whether 80s ‘I Should Be So Lucky’ bubblegum Kylie, 90s edgier, more mature ‘Confide In Me’ Kylie, early 2000s back to her disco roots ‘Spinning Around’ Kylie or present-day dance-y ‘Padam Padam’ Kylie is your favorite, it’s time to revel in your love for the pop singer once more.

Aussie-born and raised, Minogue’s career kicked off headstrong in the UK, clocking in chart toppers and number-one billboard smash-hits. Touring Las Vegas a few times throughout her career, it’s the singer’s first-ever time performing a long-standing show in Desert Oasis.

Releasing her 16th album in 2023, Tension, the Grammy-Award winner belts out a mix of old and new tunes, many of which you can hear straight off her latest compilation. (For long-time fans, seven songs were produced and co-written with her faithful collaborators, Duck Blackwell and Biff Stannard.)

Proving effortlessly she still has what it takes to create the catchiest tracks; you’ll be left singing her songs for days after the show!

Belle de Nuit at Voltaire, Las Vegas show — credit to Voltaire

Acrobats flying through the air, clown faces swirling on ribbons like a Cirque du Soleil master, feather boas and masked maestros that remind one of the Phantom … It’s all abuzz inside the sultry Belle de Nuit; the Venetian’s latest show blending cabaret and disco, with all the feels of the fabulous Studio 54 days.

Headed up inside the Voltaire’s newest Art Deco-inspired theater, this show is purely for the love of dance, song and performance! The Venetian’s former Opaline Theater is no longer around, converted into the Belle de Nuit at Voltaire.

Borrowing elements from a classic cabaret, the room isn’t traditional, with seating set up casually instead of your traditional rows, and drinks flow throughout the performance thanks to the fancy cocktail service.

DJs and live music; it feels like a nightclub-meets-supper theater, but is absolutely neither!

The 75-minute extravaganza showcases on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, and the age restriction is 21 years and up for this one.

Good to know: the Belle de Nuit pauses for other guest residencies utilizing the space, for example, the Kylie Minogue Residency.

8 – Christina Aguilera

Flashback to the early 2000s with your favorite rebel pop sensation (with the belter of a voice that’s instantly recognizable in one note) at the Voltaire.

It’s time to relive your childhood dreams as none other than Christina Aguilera takes to the stage as headliner for the next couple of months.

Differing from her worldwide sell-out concerts, where crowds clock in thousands, this is an intimate affair – from the set list to the venue.

It’s unlike any other show she’s performed before – even if you’ve been lucky enough to catch her in concert before, this is something completely new. As her iconic soprano voice fills the air, the superstar combines art and music, and the aim is a personal experience between the audience and the songstress.

Her vocal range is highlighted by Voltaire’s setting, with table booths and round seating surrounding the stage just an arm’s throw from the star and her famous blonde locks.

You’ll hear some of your favorites from throughout her illustrious career — known for her fusion of pop and RnB, as well as a few new ballads.

9 – David Spade & Nikki Glaser Comedy Show

When these two funny bones are in the house, you know you’re in for a laugh a minute time! The David Spade & Nikki Glaser Comedy Show is back in 2024, following a successful Vegas run in 2023; the first time the comedians paired together as a duo!

But straight off the bat; if you’re interested in a comedy show where the comedians stick to “woke culture,” you’re barking up the wrong comedic tree — especially when it comes to Glaser’s (shockingly) honest lines.

Spade is renowned for his dry, dead-pan humor, catching his big break on Saturday Night Live working as both writer and cast member — so, go figure!

The Hollywood Walk of Fame honorary delivers punchy opening lines, and Glaser bounces off the Emmy and two-time Golden Globe nominee seamlessly with her raw wit (which isn’t always everyone’s cup of tea, but then again, not all comedy hits the nail on every audience member’s head).

As one of the funniest females in comedy at present, the pair create a classic comedy performance!

10 – Jason Derulo

Jason Derulo At Voltaire, Las Vegas show — credit to The Venetian Resort

The music industry rejoiced when talented songwriter and singer Jason Derulo finally decided to leave his knack for lyric writing for other superstars, and branch out on his own as a solo artist!

If you’ve loved the man since his first hit single beat, Whatcha Say, you’re in luck with his first-ever residency at Voltaire!

Not only is the artist a powerhouse on vocals, but have you seen the man dance?! Inspired by the King of Pop’s moves growing up, Derulo shows off as the all-rounder performer that he is for his immersive residency.

With 22 platinum singles and over 250 million records sold worldwide, you can expect all of your favorites from the singer, as well as tracks dropping from his latest album, “Nu King” (on which he collaborated with superstars such as Adam Levine, Meghan Trainor and Michael Bublé).

Used to playing for sold-out audiences in massive international arenas, the intimate 1,000-seater venue for his residency is a welcomed change, allowing the award-winning singer to shine in a way that audiences aren’t used to.

In the words of Derulo: “You’ve never seen me in a performance like this before.”

11 – FOREIGNER

FOREIGNER, Las Vegas show

Are you ready to get nostalgic??? Even if you don’t immediately recognize the band name (talking to you, millennials), one verse uttered from any of Foreigner’s smash hits, and you’ll instantly be singing along!

Their songs like “I Want To Know What Love Is,” “Cold as Ice” and “Hot Blooded” were tracks always on the radio during the 80s and 90s, and the rock and roll band’s sound is the epitome of 70s/80s rock and roll, baby!

The band was formed in New York City, 1976, with half the members British and the other half American, hence the band’s befitting name!

Prepare to relive Foreigner’s greatest hits during the guitar shredding Las Vegas rock concert, performed by the band themselves!

With singer Kelly Hansen replacing as lead in 2002, members switched up a bit, and you’ll catch current band members Hansen, Jeff Pilson, Michael Bluestein, Bruce Watson, Chris Frazier and Luis Carlos Maldonado leading this concert.

Featuring all the songs we love, FOREIGNER is playing throughout 2024 until November.

From radio to Comedy Central to everyone’s favorite late-night talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel has gone back to where it all began in the Entertainment Capital of the World with his brand spanking new Comedy Club.

Envisioned, designed and headed up by the funnyman himself, Kimmel wanted to recreate the type of space that made him fall in love with stand-up in the first place, from the acts to the ambiance.

Dreaming up a setup that’s deserving of comedians (who don’t get enough credit): cue the dual-level theater-style seating plan.

The celebrity conversationalist still has his late-night duties, and although the comedian doesn’t lead the funny talk in Las Vegas, he’s hand-picked rib-tickling comedians, including household names, up-and-coming standups and even nationally touring headliners — so you can always expect something new to tickle your funnybones.

Popovich Comedy Pet Theater, Las Vegas show — credit to Popovich Comedy Pet Theater

What’s in a name? Clearly, everything for Gregory Popovich’s Comedy Pet Theater, where this family-friendly show is just that … A comedic act where pets and other super cute farm animals (all rescues) are the stars of the show!

Led by Russian circusman Gregory Popovich (who trained at the Moscow Circus School), everyday activities and scenarios we deem mundane are given a twist.

Instead of humans, be astounded as dogs board trains, a mamma cat pushes her baby (dog) in a pram, furry friends learn basic mathematics in the classroom and traditional circus tricks will leave you in awe!

Popovich is technically the co-star, guiding his troupe coupled with a few sillies of his own, like balancing on ladders, or classic pin juggling. Kids go bonkers for the entire experience!

The one-hour show featuring over 30 animals is hosted at the V Theater, and touring more than 20 countries, this is his 15th run in Las Vegas.

As a fifth-generation circus performer, he’s not only way-skilled in the department, but one of his specialties is as an animal whisperer, and he also teaches pet owners how to train their animals. Just check out his book, ‘You CAN Train Your Cat’ if you don’t believe us…

36 – Piano Man

Piano Man, Las Vegas show — credit to Piano Man

After catching his big break on Broadway appearing in the Billy Joel-inspired “Movin’ Out” musical (cast as the Piano Man), Kyle Martin has since gone on to lead the Billy Joel tribute band and arrived on the Las Vegas scene as one of the first post-pandemic shows — where he’s held residency ever since.

Piano Man is a heart-warming tribute to two of the greatest singers, Sir Elton John and Billy Joel.

Fun musical trivia: Since 1994, John and Joel have performed and toured together more times than you can imagine, dubbing them the longest-running pop duo to play together. Hence, it only makes sense that the Las Vegas rendition is an amalgamation of both.

Their debut duet of Joel’s original Piano Man had incredible success — duh, it’s two of the greatest pianists playing together! So, it only made sense to not just title the Las Vegas show as such but showcase hits from both superstars.

From Martin’s vocals to his stage presence (especially when he’s donning a bright purple feather boa), everything about the 75-minute concert is contagious.

Belting out 17 chart toppers from both musicians, Kyle Martin personally designed, produced and put together the show — he was handpicked for his Broadway role by Billy Joel himself!

Catch Piano Man at Planet Hollywood’s V3 Theater.

The older we get, the more the phrase “music isn’t like it used to be” is thrown around, no matter the decade. If your favorite era for music was the 80s or 90s, you’re gonna love The Jets 80’s & 90’s Experience!

Forget about ordinary tribute shows, three of the original Jets family members lead the way: Rudy, Haini and LeRoy.

The family band rose to success in the ’80s, and the eight-member Grammy-nominated group topped Billboard charts multiple times with their smash hits like ‘Crush On You,’ ‘You Got It All,’ and ‘Make It Real’ — which you’ll hear during the 75-minute performance.

But it’s not just their songs you’ll be electric sliding to, and the set list includes cover tracks such as Ice Ice Baby, Gonna Make You Sweat, Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It, Everyday People and plenty of other head-bopping, lyrically smooth, funky, catchy beats.

The concert isn’t limited to just their discography, and you’ll hear plenty of other killer tunes from the 80s and 90s, just performed by The Jets.

Jam out, rock on and sing your heart out — and no one will look twice if you arrive in neon shades, a leather bomber jacket or a matching tracksuit.

Probably one of the most famous brother-sister duos to ever enter the music world, Carpenters Legacy is a tribute show to Karen and Richard Carpenter (played by Sally Olson and Ned Mills), better known as The Carpenters.

The famous white satin frock makes an appearance, their Grammy-winning hits and most iconic live performances lead the way and all the feels of the 70s transport audience members in an instant.

The show follows a basic narrative (The Carpenters 1976 UK Tour), but throws in backstories and band history into the mix, plus Richard’s iconic classical piano features, as does Karen’s famous drum solo!

Sweeping the world by storm, Carpenters Legacy has won multiple awards after sold-out runs. These accolades include “Best Impersonator” for the 2021 and 2022 Best of Las Vegas Awards and “Best Tribute Show” for the 2022 Best of Las Vegas Awards.

39 – Shania Twain: Come On Over

Shania Twain Come On Over, Las Vegas show — credit to Caesars Entertainment

“Come on over, come on over, baby…” Shania Twain is one of those artists who, even if she hasn’t released a single in years, makes you want to drop everything you’re doing when you know she’s got a concert in town!

(But when she does drop new music, it’s always an instant success! Her latest 2017 album NOW, immediately flew to number one on the Billboard Top 200 albums, proving she’s “Still The One.”)

Thankfully, 2024 is another returning year to the Strip for the Grammy winner, with her Shania Twain Come On Over Residency beginning May.

Starting off her career in the 90s, the pop-country singer-songwriter has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, and first wooed Vegas audiences with a residency back in 2014, and again from 2019 to 2021 (Covid kind of messed those dates up a bit).

While her debut album wasn’t a major success, her second (The Woman in Me) and third (Come On Over) releases were the real chart-topping charmers!

The title for this residency is a giveaway at what to expect, i.e., all the hits, like “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!,” “You’re Still the One,” “That Don’t Impress Me Much” and “I’m Gonna Getcha Good!”

iLuminate is a dance troupe unlike any other.

Formed in Miral Kotb, the group quickly gained a following for their unique blend of modern dance and cutting-edge technology after finished third on season 6 of America’s Got Talent.

What separates iLuminate from other dance groups is the incorporation of electroluminescent wire into each dancer’s costume, which allows them to create patterns and shapes in near darkness.

Combining this with powerful LED lights on their faces, props, and set pieces, the end result is a show that’s both visually stunning and technologically impressive – it’s different, and if you like different, then consider this one of the best Las Vegas shows!

Weekends with Adele, Las Vegas show — credit to Caesars Entertainment

A mega superstar that needs no introduction, Adele is here to treat us all with her extended guest residency of ‘Weekends with Adele.’

Originally opening to crowds at The Colosseum for the first time back in 2022, when fans simply couldn’t get enough, the multiple Grammy-award-winning English singer-songwriter blessed us with continued runs.

59 – Jerry Seinfeld

Jerry Seinfeld, Las Vegas show

Circa the 1990s and every single television screen across America had Seinfeld playing.

From the man behind the greatest comedy TV show of all time, Jerry Seinfeld is back in Sin City, headlining at the Colosseum. He has multiple shows running throughout 2024, with two shows scheduled for April — so nab your tickets before they’re all sold out!

With his dreams of being a stand-up since young, the Master of Observational Comedy made his big break after appearing on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and then the Late Night with David Letterman.

But it wasn’t until 1988 that the actor, writer and producer reached superstardom, teaming up with Larry David to produce Seinfeld. It was one of the first times that an American comedy show didn’t focus on character growth but was more about the jokes!

The funny man behind it all is proving once again why he really is a genius of his trade, and nearly 50 years since his first stand-up gig, his jokes still land, and he captivates audiences more than ever!

You’ll hear one-liners you’ve never heard before, and Seinfeld sticks very closely to the type of humor he’s loved for — no profane jokes or making fun. This just goes to show his true talents!

From the producers of X Burlesque, X Rocks and X Comedy, you can expect top-notch choreography and class executions from the dancers.

62 – Donny Osmond The Las Vegas Residency

Donny Osmond The Las Vegas Residency, Las Vegas show

One of our favorite parts about the shows in Las Vegas is the opportunity to see artists, musicians and superstars from yonder years headlining the stage once more.

Donny Osmond’s Las Vegas residency is a prime example; the former teen idol performing since the 1970s!

Fun fact: Osmond was chosen to sing the famous “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” tune from Disney’s 1988 musical Mulan. For all the singing parts of the character Li Shang, it’s Donny you hear.

From family band to solo career, he’s appeared in movies, television shows and animated kids’ series, lending his voice to iconic made-up characters. His last show in Vegas alongside his sister, Donny & Marie in Las Vegas, showcased for a whopping 11 years!!

Back in 2023, his solo Las Vegas show won the awards for Best Production Show, Headliner and Family-Friendly Show in the 2023 Best of Vegas ceremony.

In essence, this residency is a recapturing of the singer, songwriter, actor and dancer’s illustrious career, chronicling his life center stage since he was just a teen. There’s dancing, funny moments and even an “auto-rap-ography.”

That’s right. You’ll get to see Osmond rapping while milestone photos and videos highlight his six-decade career in the background. It’s a highlight, for sure!

Plus, you best believe “I’ll Make A Man Out Of You” is sung, Broadway-style, and all!
