在拉斯维加斯,演出也是很热门的行业。
21点、掷骰子、轮盘、扑克,在内华达州应有尽有。拉斯维加斯(Las Vegas)赌场每年的收入达90亿美元,每年吸引3,800多万游客。但是赌博并非这座城市唯一的活动。
在拉斯维加斯,演出也是很热门的行业。从太阳马戏团(Cirque du Soleil)披头士音乐秀(LOVE)令人振奋的空中飞人、《泽西男孩》(The Jersey Boys)悦耳的曲调、麦克·金喜剧魔术秀(The Mac King Comedy Magic Show)的民间幽默到《假面舞客》(The Jabbawockeez)令人惊艳眩目的舞步,拉斯维加斯的现场演出也十分叫座。据拉斯维加斯会展及旅游局(Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority)提供的消息,2011年,逾60%的游客在拉斯维加斯旅游期间观看了一场演出。
许多音乐人也在拉斯维加斯驻唱,如果较长时间在同一个场所参加多次表演,往往会住在拉斯维加斯,例如格莱美音乐奖(Grammy Award)获奖歌星席琳·迪翁(Celine Dion)、钢琴师埃尔顿·约翰(Elton John)、流行歌手罗德·斯图尔特(Rod Stewart)和仙妮亚·唐恩(Shania Twain)经常在 凯撒宫(Caesars Palace)演出。

Entertainment attractions steal the show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Blackjack, craps, roulette, poker — you name it, Nevada’s got it. Las Vegas’ casinos rake in more than $9 billion in annual revenues and attract more than 38 million tourists a year. But gambling isn’t the only game in this town.
Shows are big business in Las Vegas, too. From the high-flying excitement of Cirque du Soleil’s LOVE and the dulcet tones of The Jersey Boys to the folksy humor of The Mac King Comedy Magic Show and the dizzying dance moves of The Jabbawockeez, live entertainment in Las Vegas is a draw in itself. In 2011, more than 60 percent of tourists saw a show while visiting the city, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
Many musicians also have homes in Las Vegas, where they live during longer periods of time where they perform multiple shows in the same venue. Grammy Award–winning singer Celine Dion and piano man Elton John both perform regularly at Caesars Palace as do pop stars Rod Stewart and Shania Twain.
