Best act you ever seen in Vegas

Barbra Streisand: The Millennium Concert at the MGM Grand

I envy those of you who got to see Sinatra or some of the other acts from before I started going out to Vegas in 2000. Agree that Human Nature is one of the best right now, and that Elton did the best show at Caesars' new place. Numerous other shows people have mentioned deserve note as well. Of course, it's all subjective.

My favorite free show would be the Speaks Brothers Band on Fremont St.

The best time I ever had at a show in Vegas was at the Jimmy Buffett concert at MGM on my 60th birthday. 90 percent of the crowd dressed up. No one ever sat. Nearly everyone sang. You could still hear Jimmy and the band perfectly, and they were at their best. The bartender even put extra tequila in our drinks. What a night!

 

Danny Gans #1 then Celine and Elton John

 

Mine are Elton's Red Piano and Mystere. Noticed Absinthe got lots of votes...thanks gonna try that next trip!

 

Best show... Mystere Best performance... Motley Crue (Joint) 1st residency. The show we went to was like their 3rd or 4th show of their first residency and it was spectacular! IMHO!!!

 

Seen alot

Since 2007 i have visited vegas many times and saw many shows;

Looking at this article it seems that i have 2 more shows i must see( O and absinthe, im by the way also curious about veronica voices in bally,s)


Its ocourse a matter of taste but zumanity( only the two asia girls in the glass were ok) and elton john ( red piano) were a bit waiste of money


My personal top 10

1. Jersey boys (paris....saw them twice...even saw it in my homecountry but was not as good as in vegas)
2. Bette Midler (Caesars) great show
3. Cher (Caesars) not a real cher fan but wow what aperformance and what a voice
4. Shania Twain( Caesars) still the one
5. Love ( Mirage)
6. Human nature (IP)
7. Terry Fator (Mirage)
8. Vinnie favorito (Flamingo) still very funny but after 3 times its enough for me haha
9. Le reve(Wynn)
10. surrender party with dj afro jack ( my fellow dutchman)

 

Best show easily is Danny Gans. Worse show again is easy with Absinthe. Danny died way to early and had so much more to give. Absinthe is in a small tent and they still have to discount tickets to fill it up.

 

1. Absinthe
2. Vinny Favorito
3. Love

 

Elton John Red Piano at Caesars Palace
Tom Jones at MGM
Rod Stewart at Caesars Palace
Shania Twain at Caesars Palace

Rob Zombie at the HOB in Mandalay Bay. Had center balcony seats on the second row behind a very drunk Nicolas Cage.

I bet nobody else has that one on their list on this forum......

 

Sinatra at Caesars in 1982.

 

My top 3

Love
Shaniah Twain
Phantom

Bottom 3

Penn and Teller
Gordie Brown
Tournament of Kings

 

Motley Crue's first residency show at the Hard Rock - that chit was off the hook crazy.

The last one - not so much

 

O - mainly because it was the first Cirque show I had ever seen.

Now my favorite has to be Love.

I plan to try to see Absinthe in March.
