Beyond the flash and spectacle of the Strip and the lure of the casinos, Las Vegas has lots to see. Most hotels offer some form of live entertainment - dancers, magicians, circus performers, and singers, just to name a few - and headline performers are a regular occurrence. Check with the concierge desk for a listing of shows and performers. For your convenience, most hotels have a ticket office in their lobby. In addition to these live shows, Las Vegas offers several cultural attractions. Listed below are some examples of Las Vegas cultural life.
