From Cirque Du Soleil acrobatic showcases to live artist performances to nightclubs, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

HOLR was invited to partake in the destination’s top nightlife and entertainment opportunities, so we’ve compiled an exclusive guide to experiencing the city of Las Vegas at night. 

Enjoy dinner and a show at top-tier restaurants in the city

There’s no better way to start the night than by wine-ing and dining amongst live entertainment. 

Although there is a diverse selection of venues that offer both food and fun, catching dinner and a show at Delilah Lounge and Fine Dining located at Wynn Las Vegas is a definite “must-do” when visiting the city. This supper club draws inspiration from Las Vegas in the ’50s, offering guests a vintage atmosphere and environment to experience fine dining and entertainment in a whole new light.

With opportunities to socialize and take in an ambiance of live music, DJs, Sunday Night Jazz, or special performances, Delilah is an exceptionally exquisite space to experience it all. The food is superb, but during HOLR’s visit, there was a special piano and solo performance that truly helped bring the entire dining experience together, ultimately making it one to remember.  

Keep in mind that there is no photography allowed inside the venue, so be sure to take mental images of the night!

Witness dynamic Cirque Du Soleil shows along the strip

Experiencing Cirque Du Soleil is an absolute must when visiting the destination. There are a variety of incredible shows to choose from, although there are two in particular worth noting and adding to your must-watch list. 

Cirque Du Soleil’s Mad Apple at New York-New York Hotel and Casino brings together comedy, dance, music, magic, and acrobatics to create an absolutely stellar show for those ages 16 and above. Starring Harrison Greenbaum, this is a HOLR favourite that will complete your night in Las Vegas.

The Beatles LOVE by Cirque Du Soleil is another must-see, located along the strip at The Mirage. Set to the legendary soundtrack, The Beatles LOVE is curated to evoke your senses through spirited, zestful, and psychedelic performances comprised of singing, dancing, and acrobatics. It’s a top celebrated show that continues to win over the hearts of audience members.

See your favourite performers and artists at a live show or concert

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience your favourite performers in person, in which the city of Las Vegas is home to iconic celebrity residencies and shows that are sure to WOW!

One of this year’s must-see live shows is music superstar John Legend’s “Love in Las Vegas” residency at Planet Hollywood. Thoughtfully created to be a celebration of love and togetherness, this is an incredibly intimate concert that highlights Legend’s top hits in an exciting, fresh showcase. Legend is lively and personable, offering audience members an inside look into his industry beginnings all while putting on a tremendous performance complete with backup dancers and a soulful choir. Witnessing his live concert first-hand is inspiring, as Legend has spectacular piano skills and a dynamic vocal range that makes this live show an absolute go-to.

Katy Perry’s PLAY is another highly-anticipated concert that cannot be missed when visiting the destination. Located in Resorts World, Las Vegas, PLAY is a dazzling, fun, and quirky live performance by none other than celebrity artist, Katy Perry.
