Las Vegas Tickets
As anyone who has visited beautiful Las Vegas can tell you, there are two major reasons to visit this incredible city: the casinos and the amazing shows! While there is always a chance you will lose your shirt at the gaming tables, the shows provide the ultimate Vegas win-win situation.
Whether you are seeing an incredible Broadway production or a uniquely Vegas production featuring dancing girls and incredible pageantry, only one city in the world has the selection, the quality and the amazing choice that Las Vegas offers. Often times though, your favorite picks are also everyone elses! That means that tickets can run out, and you can be left on the outside looking in. However, if you are one of the lucky ones to get into one of these shows, you are sure to have the time of your life! Lets take a closer look at some of the hardest to find tickets in Sin City.
Currently playing at Planet Hollywood, Stomp Out Loud is a raucous show featuring some of the most talented dancers and performers anywhere in the world. Watch as the incredible synchronized dancing that features every day household objects makes sounds that delight and electrify. Youll be dancing in your seat as this thrilling show dazzles you and makes you cheer with joy! Stomp Out Loud can be a hard ticket to find because of its enduring popularity.
Currently playing at the beautiful Venetian is the legendary Phantom of the Opera. Other productions may try to mimic it, but there is only one real Phantom, written by the incomparable Andrew Lloyd Webber. This particular production has been said to even rival the one currently running on Broadway in New York City, but, as you can imagine, getting tickets to this amazing show can be next to impossible. You can call ahead, but you might need to solicit the help of a ticket broker to make the dream of seeing Phantom in Las Vegas come true.
Over at the Mandalay Bay Casino and Hotel, the ABBA infused stylings of Mamma Mia! Are ready to be explored! If you have ever owned an ABBA album, than this musical is a must see. It’s family-friendly too! No other production in Vegas or anywhere in the world will make your feet tap and your body move quite like Mamma Mia! Finding a ticket for this show on Broadway might as well be Mission: Impossible, and the same goes for here in Vegas. Often times, a ticket broker with a fair price is the only choice.
Finally, for fans of Monty Python, Spamalot! is a must see over at the Wynn. If you have ever giggled uncontrollably at Monty Python, the cast and crew will have you in stitches. Get your funny bone a dose of relief at Spamalot!
While all of these shows are just waiting for you to explore them, youll need tickets, and sometimes, tickets are hard to find
