Best Las Vegas Shows – July 2025 Edition
O by Cirque du Soleil
A Vegas icon for good reason, O takes place on a stage that transforms into a 1.5-million-gallon pool. Performers dive, swim, and soar through scenes that blur the line between circus and surrealist dream. Set inside the Bellagio, this water-based show combines acrobatics, synchronized swimming, and aerial acts in a way that feels both timeless and otherworldly.
If you’re only picking one Cirque show for your trip, O is one of the top contenders.
Tickets from: $103
Awakening
Awakening at Wynn is built for Vegas. It tells a classic story of light vs. darkness through a mix of acrobatics, choreography, and high-tech stagecraft. The circular stage rotates and transforms mid-scene, and the show is narrated by none other than Anthony Hopkins. The show is critically acclaimed and easy to follow. It’s a show that delivers.
Tickets from: $79
KÀ by Cirque du Soleil
KÀ blends martial arts, storytelling, and gravity-defying stunts into one of the most dramatic Cirque du Soleil productions in Vegas.
Like the first two shows on this list, the stage of the show is a star itself. KÀ is set on a huge moving platform at the MGM Grand that tilts, spins, and even flips vertically as the story unfolds.
If you’re into epic action and cinematic moments, this one feels more like a live movie than a traditional stage show.
Tickets from: $69
The Sphere: Postcard from Earth
You’ve seen the Sphere from the outside.
Now it’s time to step inside.
Postcard from Earth is a custom-made experience that blends immersive film, sensory effects, and next-gen visuals on a 160,000 sq. ft. wraparound screen. From rumbling floors to environmental effects, you don’t just watch this show, you feel it. It’s part art installation, part nature documentary, and fully unlike anything else in Vegas.
Tickets from: $84
WOW – The Vegas Spectacular
True to its name, WOW packs 90 minutes with nonstop visuals, acrobatics, dance, and comedy at the Rio. The show moves quickly, one moment you’re watching a water stunt, the next it’s a full-blown theatrical number.
It’s light on story but big on entertainment. It’s a great pick if you want something high-energy without the intensity of a Cirque production. Great for families, couples, or anyone looking for a feel-good spectacle.
Tickets from: $60
July Vegas Magic Shows
Shin Lim: Limitless
Shin Lim doesn’t rely on flashy distractions, his magic is all about precision. With sleight-of-hand so smooth it looks CGI, Limitless delivers intimate, mind-bending illusions on a grand Vegas stage. Card tricks turn into cinematic moments, backed by music and visual effects that elevate the whole experience.
If you prefer your magic subtle, elegant, and impossible to explain, this is your show.
Tickets from: $78
David Copperfield
A master of classic stage magic, David Copperfield at MGM Grand blends storytelling with illusions. There’s a reason this show has been mesmerising audiences since 1996.
You’ll feel moments that lean into nostalgia and others that feel genuinely mind-blowing. If you want to see a living legend in a production that balances spectacle with heart, this one’s worth booking.
Tickets from: $71
Criss Angel MINDFREAK
MINDFREAK is loud, intense, and exactly what you’d expect from Criss Angel.
Hosted at Planet Hollywood, the show fuses large-scale illusions with pyrotechnics, digital effects, and Angel’s signature rockstar energy. You’ll see levitation, teleportation, and some genuinely mind-twisting stunts. If you’re after a magic show that leans dark, dramatic, and over-the-top, this one pulls no punches.
Tickets from: $80
July Vegas Shows Made for Kids
Blue Man Group
Blue Man Group brings rhythm, color, and controlled chaos to the stage at Luxor. With no spoken words, the show relies on drumming, visual gags, and audience interaction to keep things moving. It’s weird in the best way, and totally accessible for kids and adults alike.
Expect paint, pipes, and a whole lot of percussion.
If you want something playful and offbeat, this is a show that your kids will love.
Tickets from: $49
Jabbawockeez
Known for their signature masks and synchronized choreography, Jabbawockeez delivers a show infused with hip-hop dance, storytelling, and visual effects. The soundtrack is sharp, the moves are tight, and the performance keeps the vibe fun and family-friendly from start to finish.
If you’re visiting with kids or just want something upbeat and visually impressive, then Jabbawockeez should definitely be on your list.
Tickets from: $49
July Vegas Comedy Shows
Carrot Top
Carrot Top’s show at Luxor is part stand-up, part prop comedy, and all chaos. He’s been performing in Vegas for over a decade, constantly updating his act with wild inventions, pop culture jokes, and self-deprecating humor that somehow all comes together.
If you’re looking for something silly, fast-paced, and totally unfiltered, Carrot Top still knows how to bring the laughs.
Tickets from: $49
LA Comedy Club
Tucked inside The STRAT, LA Comedy Club keeps things simple: a rotating lineup of comics, an intimate room, and plenty of laughs. You won’t get flashy production here, just solid stand-up from touring acts, up-and-comers, and the occasional surprise name.
If you’re after an affordable night out with a great vibe, this is one of the best comedy deals in town.
Tickets from: $32
Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club
Located at the LINQ Promenade, Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club mixes nationally known headliners with rising stars in a laid-back, well-run space. Another comedy club where the venue feels more like a neighborhood hangout than a tourist trap, which is part of the charm.
It’s a great choice if you want to laugh, enjoy a few drinks, and still have time to hit the Strip afterward.
Tickets from: $25
July Vegas Adult Shows
Absinthe
If you want a show that’s equal parts jaw-dropping and jaw-droppingly inappropriate, Absinthe is it. Performed in a spiegeltent outside Caesars Palace, it combines circus acts with raunchy comedy and zero filter.
The acrobatics are wild, the characters unhinged, and the host doesn’t hold back. It’s chaotic, intimate, and one of the most unforgettable nights you’ll have in Vegas (but definitely not for the easily offended).
Tickets from: $132
Mad Apple by Cirque du Soleil
This isn’t your typical Cirque show. Mad Apple at New York-New York feels more like a late-night variety party than a circus. You’ll get stand-up comedy, live music, aerial stunts, and breakdancing, sometimes all in the same scene.
It’s loud, unpredictable, and made for adults looking to mix nightlife with performance.
Tickets from: $49
X Burlesque
A staple at the Flamingo, X Burlesque delivers classic Vegas striptease with a modern twist.
The show features high-energy dance routines, sultry performances, and a soundtrack packed with rock and pop hits. The theater is small, which makes the whole experience feel more up close and personal.
If you’re after something sexy, playful, and unmistakably Vegas after dark, this one’s for you.
Tickets from: $47
There’s no one way to do Vegas, and July’s show lineup proves it.
You can keep it classy with a Cirque performance, laugh your way through a late-night comedy set, or go full sensory overload inside the Sphere. Whatever your vibe, there’s something playing that fits, and booking ahead means better seats and better prices, especially around the 4th of July weekend.
