Las Vegas may be known as a Disneyland for adults, but there are also plenty of shows playing on the Strip that the whole family can enjoy together. From the world’s most iconic living illusionist to “America’s Best Dance Crew,” these hot tickets are sure to entertain audience members of all ages.
DAVID COPPERFIELD
An experience you won’t forget—no matter how old you are—David Copperfield’s long-running show at MGM Grand is simply astounding. Copperfield effortlessly mixes intimate sleight-of-hand magic with grand illusions, doing everything from making a 30-foot-tall dinosaur appear out of thin air to making someone levitate in the middle of the audience. While the illusions are nothing short of incredible, what makes the show so remarkable are the engaging stories Copperfield weaves throughout the production, especially when he talks about following his childhood dream of becoming a magician. Kids and adults alike will be affected by Copperfield’s pursuit to “live the impossible,” especially as they watch the impossible become possible with each jaw-dropping illusion. mgmgrand.com/en/entertainment/david-copperfield.html
JABBAWOCKEEZ’ “JREAMZ, JOURNEY WITHIN”
Jabbawockeez’ hit show at MGM Grand isn’t just a lively dance production with some humor sprinkled throughout—it’s also a show about living life to its fullest. Not only will audiences be amazed by the impressive dance moves from the Season 1 “America’s Best Dance Crew” champions, but some ticket holders might even find themselves relating to the show’s main character, PJ, who is stuck sleepwalking through life rather than living it. While guests will be cheering and bopping along to the music during the energetic performance, they’ll leave the theater feeling motivated to do what makes them happy—and what parent doesn’t want that for their child? jbwkz.com
“V–THE ULTIMATE VARIETY SHOW”
This fast-paced variety show at V Theater inside Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino is sure to have something for everyone to enjoy. Hosted by charismatic juggler Wally Eastwood, who keeps guests laughing and in awe of his madcap juggling skills throughout the show, audiences will see some of the best variety acts in Las Vegas on one stage. While acts rotate nightly, guests will be entertained by whoever is performing, whether it’s the hilarious physical comedy act The Quiddlers, or the heart-pounding roller skating duo The Skating Aratas. Each act is truly phenomenal! vtheshow.com
