Celine Dion
When Newsweek calls the show, “Las Vegas’ Biggest Act Since Elvis” you know you have to see it. Celine Dion’s show Celine at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace includes the Canadian songstress’ biggest hits in one spellbinding show. Celine performs songs such as “My Heart Will Go On” as well as covers ranging from Journey to Janis Ian. The Grammy Award-winning artist performs with 31 onstage musicians including a five-piece horn section and a 16-piece string orchestra. And it is all backed by stunning light and a video display.
Cirque du Soleil
You can’t go wrong with seeing any of Las Vegas’ eight Cirque du Soleil productions but we particularly enjoy Michael Jackson ONE and O. Michael Jackson ONE brings the King of Pop’s music to life through wild tricks and high-energy performances. O is Cirque’s aquatic production that takes everything you love about a Cirque show including acrobatics, dancers and music, and adds in water. Yes, water! This mesmerizing show is performed on a water stage.
Absinthe
For a show that screams Vegas check out Absinthe at Caesars Palace. Hosted by The Gazillionaire, a slick-haired, crass and charismatic character, Absinthe is as intoxicating as the drink of the same name. The show is part circus, part cabaret, part vaudeville and all entertaining. Witness incredible acts, daring feats and seductive performers that when combined make one heck of a variety show.
Le Reve – The Dream
Escape reality and step inside the fantastical world of Le Reve – The Dream at Wynn Las Vegas. This incredible production begins in Wynn’s in-the-round-theater that puts guests up close to all of the action. Watch as gymnasts, aerialists and synchronized swimmers dance and play in and around the water. The dream-like production will leave you stunned at its beauty.

Surrounded by bright lights, drum beats and vivid colors, audience members will feel more like they are at a party than a Vegas show.
