Performed in a 360 degree theater at The Mirage, The Beatles LOVE allows every audience member to get a unique view of the action. Acrobatics and spectacular dance routines bring out the meaning in all your favorite Beatles tracks, re-recorded by family and friends of the Fab Four.

4. Elvis: One Night

Elvis impersonators are arguably one of the biggest clichés that come to mind when you think of Vegas. While you might think Elvis tribute acts are a little corny, this excellent show will change your mind. A talented and convincing impersonator performs with a live band in this high-energy and highly entertaining night out.

Elvis: One Night recreates a moment that went down in musical history – a night in December of 1968 when Elvis performed a comeback special that had girls going hysterical in front of their TV sets. You don’t have to be a devout Elvis fan to get a kick out of this show – the whole family will enjoy this dazzling tribute to the King.

6. Piano Man: A Tribute to Elton John & Billy Joel

It’s rare to find a tribute show where a single performer captures the magic of 2 different legends. Piano Man is one of these rarities – an exceptional tribute to the musical legacies of both Elton John and Billy Joel. The impressive impersonator really knows what he’s doing: Kyle Martin was chosen by Billy Joel himself to star in the Broadway show “Moving Out”.

With amazing piano skills and a voice that authentically captures both artists, Kyle gives the audience everything they came for and more. A live band and dancers add extra excitement to this one-of-a-kind tribute show.
