Las Vegas tribute shows are a great way to revisit the music and performances of some of the world’s most recognizable entertainers. Whether you grew up listening to Michael Jackson, love Billy Joel’s jams, or want to hear the Vegas classics from Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack, there are options in several genres. These productions give audiences a chance to experience the music from throughout the decades again through live singing, dancing, and elaborate performances.

Some productions even involve people who previously worked with the artists being honored, adding another layer to the tribute. These shows are spread throughout Las Vegas, with options covering genres from rock and pop to Motown, R&B, and classic Vegas entertainment.

Many of the shows on this list are in the same venue complex, so it’s possible to catch multiple shows in one evening. However, aspects of each show, such as schedules, age policies, and ticket prices, can vary widely, so it helps to compare the options before booking. Here are 12 of the best tribute shows at Las Vegas casinos and what audiences can expect from each one.

All 12 Tribute Shows at Las Vegas Casinos

MJ Live at Planet Hollywood

MJ Live pays tribute to Michael Jackson’s legendary music and dance performances. The production moved in September 2026 from the Harrah’s Showroom to the Saxe Theater at Miracle Mile Shops inside Planet Hollywood.

MJ Live has a ticket option that includes a drink at the bar inside Saxe Theater. It's only about $8 more than the ticket on its own, so it's a great deal for a drink in Vegas. This show is one of the more convenient options for visitors on a tight schedule, since the show has no dark nights.

Michael Jackson ONE at Mandalay Bay

Michael Jackson ONE is both a tribute show and a Cirque du Soleil production celebrating the King of Pop’s music and creative legacy.
