I’ve been asked quite a few times lately what the best shows currently running in Las Vegas are. Las Vegas is a great destination to visit and enjoy premium entertainment. The shows and acts are constantly changing and re-inventing themselves.  While there are so many to choose from I have outlined some of our favorites and the ones that receive the best reviews.

Right now some of the top rated Las Vegas shows to see are:

Ka Cirque Du Soleil- I have heard feedback from people who have attended Cirque shows in the past and are frustrated that they couldn’t follow a plot line. This will not be the case at Ka. The plot follows Imperial Twins who are separated by an attack on their Far Eastern palace and overcome adversity to be reunited. The theater itself is breathtaking and don’t be surprised to see bungee jumping warriors from the ceiling. The show runs Tuesday through Saturday at the MGM Grand in the Ka Theater.

The Lion King- Adapted from the Disney animated picture, this is a visually stunning and beautiful play that takes place in the African jungle and follows a young lion’s journey to become King. You won’t want to miss this Tony-Award winning Broadway sensation. Tickets start at  $66 and shows run everyday except Friday at the Mandalay Bay Theater. Must be 6 years of age or older.

Can change the world. Ok, so a little cliché and not to mention a little old school punk rock, but I honestly believe that this has some truth to it. Ok maybe not change the entire world, but I went to a concert last night that changed my little world and I think that’s pretty darn good.

It had been awhile since I had gone to a show. So long I am too embarrassed to admit it. So long I had almost forgotten why I love them so much. You listen to music through your ipod or your computer or by whatever means and you decide you like it. But then you go and see them in person and (hopefully) gain a true understanding of that artist and their music. You gain respect. That is- if the show was done right. Younger bands usually don’t get this right- right away- as they are still developing who they are and their sound. But it can be accomplished, and I have first handedly experienced it.
