Vegas Shows In March 2026

Top Headliners and Residency Shows

The Eagles’ Sphere residency ends in March—permanently. Their 56-show run became the longest in Sphere history, drawing over 700,000 fans since September 2024. The final four performances (March 20, 21, 27, 28) are the last chance to hear “Hotel California” rendered across 160,000 square feet of immersive LED display before Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, and Vince Gill retire this chapter. Tickets start at $175 all-in; Vibee packages through The Venetian bundle hotel stays with priority venue entry.

Jennifer Lopez launches “Up All Night” at The Colosseum with eight March dates following her New Year’s week debut. The production features fresh choreography, a 14-piece band, and visual staging that justifies the 4,100-seat venue’s sightlines. J.Lo residencies sell—her 2016-2018 Planet Hollywood run moved 120 shows.

Foreigner marks 50 years with a five-night Venetian Theatre engagement backed by a live orchestra. The 1,815-seat room lets you hear “I Want to Know What Love Is” the way it was recorded—with strings, not synths. This anniversary production travels after Vegas; catching it in an intimate theater beats the amphitheater circuit.

Best Shows by Category

Beyond the headliners, March’s permanent show roster runs full speed. Spring break families join convention crowds, making advance booking more valuable than in slower months.

Cirque du Soleil Shows

Five Cirque productions run across the Strip, each built for different moods and audiences. March visitors should note that Mystère goes dark March 17 for St. Patrick’s Day—if that’s your target show, plan around it.

• “O” at Bellagio remains the romantic choice. The 1.5-million-gallon pool stage hosts synchronized swimmers, platform divers, and aerialists in a dreamlike 90 minutes that couples book for anniversaries and proposals. Wednesday-Sunday, 6:30pm and 9pm.

• KÀ at MGM Grand delivers narrative action—a twin-sibling quest told through martial arts choreography on a rotating vertical stage that shifts from floor to wall mid-scene. The pyrotechnics and 80-foot falls play best with teens and adults. Monday-Wednesday and Saturday-Sunday.

• Mystère at Treasure Island is the original Vegas Cirque, running since 1993. Classic circus wonder—acrobats, clowns, aerial silks—in a colorful, whimsical package that works for first-timers and families with kids 5+. Friday-Tuesday, 6pm and 8:30pm.

• Michael Jackson ONE at Mandalay Bay mixes the King of Pop’s catalog with Jabbawockeez-style choreography. The Thriller sequence alone justifies the ticket. Thursday-Monday, 6:30pm and 9pm.

• Mad Apple at New York-New York skews younger and edgier—a nightclub-vibe variety show with acrobatics, live music, and stand-up comedy. The late 9:30pm showtime fits post-dinner energy. Tuesday-Saturday.

Comedy Shows

March comedy peaks mid-month when Jerry Seinfeld holds the Colosseum on St. Patrick’s Day weekend— his observational precision will draw the convention crowd that prefers wit over shock.

• Jerry Seinfeld (Mar 17-18, Colosseum) needs no introduction. The Caesars Palace residency puts him in the same room where Sinatra played, and he treats the material accordingly—polished, precise, arena-level performance in a 4,300-seat theater.

• Adam Ray (Mar 20, Encore Theatre) brings character comedy and impressions—his Dr. Phil is internet-famous, but the live show expands into original creations that showcase range beyond viral clips.

• Andrew Santino (Mar 21, Encore Theatre) follows Ray with podcast-sharpened crowd work and willingness to chase tangents. The “Whiskey Ginger” host rewards audiences who like their comedy unpredictable.

• Ali Siddiq (Mar 14, The Theater at Virgin Hotels) delivers storytelling comedy rooted in his years incarcerated—raw, redemptive material that earns its emotional weight between genuine laughs.

• Penn & Teller at Rio continue their 20+ year residency Thursday-Sunday. The bullet catch is still miraculous; the between-trick commentary still skeptical and funny.

The club circuit keeps comedy flowing nightly. Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club at MGM Grand puts touring acts in a room small enough for heckler interactions. Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club at LINQ rotates names you’ll recognize from late-night green rooms. Comedy Cellar at Rio recreates the Greenwich Village institution—same format, same unannounced walk-ons from headliners testing new material.

Magic Shows

The magic roster holds steady through March, anchored by the names that made Vegas the global capital of illusion.

• David Copperfield at MGM Grand performs twice nightly (7pm, 9:30pm) Sunday-Friday in a sub-1,500-seat theater that makes grand illusions feel personal. The show weaves autobiographical storytelling through vanishes and appearances—you leave knowing something about the man, not just the tricks.

• David Blaine at Encore Theatre brings his endurance-art sensibility to close-up magic. New March dates expand his Vegas residency; the intimate setting delivers the intensity his TV specials hint at but can’t fully capture.

• Shin Lim: Limitless at Venetian Theatre features sleight-of-hand that rewires your understanding of what hands can do. The two-time AGT champion works primarily with cards, but “card tricks” undersells the visual poetry. Mentalist Colin Cloud opens with mind-reading that sets up Lim’s physical impossibilities.

• Penn & Teller at Rio run Thursday-Sunday, mixing genuine wonder with intellectual honesty. They’ll expose a method, then perform something that defies the explanation you just learned. Twenty-plus years in the same room hasn’t dulled the partnership.

• Criss Angel MINDFREAK at Planet Hollywood stages illusion as rock concert—straitjackets, pyro, industrial aesthetics. The theatrical darkness appeals to audiences who find traditional magic too genteel.

• Mat Franco at LINQ takes the opposite approach: warm, participatory magic built around borrowed phones and wedding rings. The AGT Season 9 winner’s accessibility makes this the entry point for families and magic skeptics.

Adult & Burlesque Shows

Vegas after dark ranges from raunchy circus to sophisticated tease, and March’s convention crowds keep these rooms full.

• Absinthe at Caesars Palace operates in its own category—a circus-cabaret hybrid staged in an outdoor Spiegeltent where acrobats perform inches from your face while hosts deliver insults that would get them fired anywhere else. The show opened in 2011 and outlasted dozens of competitors because the danger feels real and the comedy holds nothing sacred.

• Zombie Burlesque at V Theater commits fully to its atomic-era horror-comedy concept—undead dancers, a live big band, and 1950s nightclub aesthetics played for camp rather than scares. The 75-minute runtime (8:30pm, dark Sundays) keeps the joke from wearing thin.

• Dita Von Teese at Voltaire inside The Venetian elevates burlesque to couture performance art—elaborate costumes, precision choreography, and staging that treats the female form as sculpture rather than spectacle.

• Magic Mike Live at Sahara built its audience beyond bachelorette parties by actually choreographing the dancing and scripting the seduction. Couples now account for a significant portion of the crowd.

Family-Friendly Shows

Spring break fills Vegas with families who discover the city programs far more all-ages entertainment than Sin City’s branding suggests.

• The Wizard of Oz at Sphere runs daily throughout March with multiple showtimes (11am, 2pm, 5pm, 8pm). The 75-minute immersive production uses Sphere’s 360-degree display to transport audiences into Oz—the tornado sequence alone justifies dragging kids to the venue. This is currently the only non-concert way to experience Sphere’s technology.

• Blue Man Group at Luxor communicates entirely through percussion, paint, and physical comedy—no dialogue means no language barrier and no jokes flying over kids’ heads. The 5pm performances align with younger attention spans; evening shows skew toward adults enjoying the absurdist humor.

• Tournament of Kings at Excalibur stages medieval combat as dinner theater. Knights joust, swords clash, and the audience eats roasted chicken with their bare hands while cheering for their assigned champion. The 6pm curtain gets families out before bedtime.

• Jabbawockeez at MGM Grand channels their America’s Best Dance Crew pedigree into a full production. The white-masked crew’s choreography lands hardest with the TikTok generation—if your teenager has ever learned a dance from their phone, they’ll recognize the vocabulary. Performances at 7pm and 9:30pm.

• Mac King Comedy Magic at Excalibur runs afternoon shows (1pm and 3pm) with sleight-of-hand and corny humor calibrated for all ages. Tickets under $50 make this the budget-friendly family magic option.

Both Mystère and KÀ admit children 5 and older; KÀ’s Saturday and Sunday matinees at 4:30pm leave time for dinner afterward.

March Show Dates With Most and Least Options

March never truly slows down — every night still offers dozens of live shows — but the number of options shifts more than it first appears. Some days scale back slightly and favor value-focused planning, while others expand dramatically, creating ideal conditions for last-minute decisions. Which is better depends on whether you prefer a calmer slate or maximum choice.

Across the month, daily show counts generally range from about 42 to 54.

Slower days

Even on these quieter nights, the city still offers more than 40 shows, making them appealing for travelers who prioritize pricing or a less crowded evening atmosphere. The lightest schedules tend to fall on Sundays and select early-to mid-month weekdays. On these dates, listings typically end earlier, landing in the low-40s.

• 📅 March 1 (Sunday)
• 📅 March 3 (Tuesday)
• 📅 March 8 (Sunday)
• 📅 March 15 (Sunday)
  

Busiest days

March’s busiest nights deliver especially deep lineups, often exceeding 50 shows and occasionally pushing into the mid-50s. These evenings feature extended listings with additional late entries beyond the standard schedule. This allows you the flexibility of choices or to decide closer to showtime.

• 📅 March 5 (Thursday)
• 📅 March 6–7 (Friday–Saturday)
• 📅 March 11 (Wednesday)
• 📅 March 13–14 (Friday–Saturday)
• 📅 March 18 (Wednesday)
  

March Dark Weeks

March does not feature a prolonged, citywide slowdown, but several single-week maintenance windows appear in the second half of the month. These gaps matter most for travelers focused on one specific production, particularly around March 17 and March 22–24, when multiple breaks overlap.

Where To See Shows In March

March show demand concentrates heavily early, then spreads out as convention traffic eases.

• Weeks 1 and 2 see the most pressure near the Convention Center and major Strip corridors, driven by CONEXPO-related travel.
  
• Week 3 narrows demand toward Convention Center–adjacent areas as overall traffic tapers.
  
• Week 4 remains active midweek but becomes more localized, improving flexibility across different Strip zones.
  

This shift makes late March particularly appealing for travelers who want strong show availability without navigating the most congested weeks.
