Luxor Las Vegas Shows

What Shows Are Playing at Luxor Las Vegas

Luxor’s current lineup is built around residencies that have proven their staying power. These aren’t short test runs or pop-up engagements; they’re shows that have refined their pacing, tone, and audience connection over years of performances.

Blue Man Group

This is sensory theater first and storytelling second.

Blue Man Group is loud, colorful, and intentionally strange, a percussion-driven performance that blends music, physical comedy, and visual chaos without ever speaking a word. It plays just as well for international visitors as it does for kids seeing their first Vegas show, largely because nothing depends on language.

One thing that surprises first-timers: the front rows come with a poncho. Paint, food, and flying props are part of the experience, and the performers regularly spill into the audience. The finale, which fills the room with paper and motion, feels closer to a celebration than a curtain call.

Best for: families, curious first-timers, and anyone who enjoys immersive, high-energy shows
Think twice if: loud drums, strobe effects, or direct audience interaction stress you out

Carrot Top

Carrot Top’s show is faster and sharper than many people expect. Built around constantly updated props and topical jokes, the set moves at a relentless pace. The humor leans adult, the music is loud, and the lighting is theatrical.

While the visual gags are front and center, the jokes are often pointed, sarcastic, and occasionally very blue. This is not a nostalgia act coasting on a name. It’s a working Vegas comedy show that changes with the news cycle.

Best for: adults looking for a high laugh-per-minute night
Think twice if: you prefer story-driven stand-up or clean comedy

Fantasy

Fantasy occupies a very specific space in the Vegas entertainment ecosystem.

Unlike revues that focus purely on spectacle, this show places real emphasis on live vocals alongside polished choreography. The tone is celebratory rather than aggressive, and the performers project confidence more than shock value.

Because the showroom is intimate, the experience feels personal without being uncomfortable. The post-show meet-and-greet is a genuine highlight for many guests.

Best for: couples and bachelorette groups wanting something upbeat and polished
Think twice if: nudity or adult themes aren’t your thing

Show Overview

Typical Weekly Showing Times

Luxor runs on consistency.

Blue Man Group performs nightly, typically with an early evening show around 5:00 PM and a later performance at 8:00 PM. The early show draws families and tour groups, while the later one skews noticeably more adult.

Carrot Top usually runs Monday through Saturday at 8:00 PM, taking Sundays off. Fantasy owns the late-night slot, performing nightly at 10:30 PM, with an added earlier show on Sundays.

If you’re planning a full night out, Luxor’s schedule makes it easy to stack dinner, a comedy show, and a late revue without rushing.

Notable Venues Within Luxor

Luxor’s theaters are purpose-built, which shows once you’re inside them.

The Blue Man Theater is designed specifically for the group’s acoustics and visual effects. It feels expansive without losing intimacy, and sightlines are strong across the room.

The Atrium Showroom, located on the mezzanine level, hosts both Carrot Top and Fantasy. It’s smaller and more traditional, with tiered seating that keeps views clear even from the back rows.

The Luxor Theater, a larger 1,200-seat space, currently hosts rotating engagements. While not part of the daily lineup, it’s one of the more impressive rooms on the South Strip and worth noting for future bookings.

Seats With the Best Views

For Blue Man Group, Category A sections (102 and 103) offer the best balance of immersion and sightlines. The Poncho Section delivers the most memorable experience, but you trade some stage perspective for participation. If you’re seated farther back, don’t worry, the show scales well, and performers regularly move into the aisles.

In the Atrium Showroom, center sections are the safest choice. Side tables can feel slightly disconnected, especially during Carrot Top’s projection-heavy segments.

A good value play: Blue Man Group’s rear sections still deliver the full experience, making them a solid option for budget-conscious visitors.

Age Restrictions

Policies are clearly enforced at Luxor.

• Blue Man Group: All ages welcome; recommended for ages 3+
• Carrot Top: 16+ (minors must be accompanied)
• Fantasy: 18+ only, with ID required

Parents should note that volume and lighting, not content, are the biggest considerations for younger kids.

Dress Code

There’s no formal dress code here. Most guests arrive in casual Vegas attire.

Two practical notes matter more than fashion: theaters at Luxor run cold, and if you’re sitting in Blue Man Group’s front rows, wear clothes you don’t mind getting messy. The paint is washable, but caution is still advised.

Getting to Luxor

Luxor is easiest to reach via the free tram connecting Excalibur, Luxor, and Mandalay Bay. It drops you close to the theater level and avoids outdoor heat.

If you’re walking, use the indoor paths and moving walkways from Excalibur. Avoid navigating Tropicana Avenue on foot when possible, it’s longer and more tiring than it looks.

Expect congestion on the mezzanine level between 7:00 and 8:00 PM, when exhibit traffic overlaps with show arrivals.

Why Luxor Is Unique

Luxor endures because it delivers something increasingly rare on the Strip: familiarity without stagnation.

These shows have lasted because they work, not because they’re trendy, but because they consistently give audiences a tight, engaging 75 minutes. For visitors who want an iconic Vegas backdrop, fair pricing, and entertainment that knows exactly what it is, Luxor remains one of the safest bets in the city.
