Vegas Shows In February 2026

Top Headliners and Residency Shows

The battle of the boy bands defines February at Vegas’s two biggest immersive venues. The Backstreet Boys continue their Sphere residency with seven dates through February 15th. Their 360-degree production proves that “Millennium” still hits different when it surrounds you. Then the Eagles pick up where they left off in January, running February 20-28 at the Sphere for the second leg of their Long Goodbye farewell.

Across the street at Dolby Live, New Kids on the Block launch their residency on Valentine’s Day, all five original members reuniting for a run that stretches through the 28th. It’s a rare opportunity to catch both defining boy band eras in a single Vegas weekend.

Def Leppard dominates the Colosseum at Caesars Palace with twelve dates across the month, bringing arena-rock anthems to a 4,300-seat room that makes “Pour Some Sugar on Me” feel genuinely dangerous. Chris Stapleton opens February with two intimate Dolby Live dates (Feb 4-5), and Joan Jett takes over House of Blues for five nights of “I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll” defiance starting February 13.

Best Shows by Category

February delivers the full Vegas variety menu. The city’s permanent shows run without major dark periods this month, and lighter tourist crowds mean you’re more likely to score center seats at face value.

Cirque du Soleil Shows

All five resident Cirque productions run throughout February, and the NHL’s Olympic break means T-Mobile Arena isn’t competing for attention, giving the acrobatic spectacles a clearer spotlight than usual.

“O” at Bellagio remains the romantic choice, its aquatic dreamscape perfectly suited for Valentine’s weekend. KÀ at MGM Grand delivers epic martial arts storytelling if you want something packed with action. Mystère at Treasure Island offers the classic whimsical circus experience, while Michael Jackson ONE at Mandalay Bay turns the King of Pop’s catalog into a Cirque-style dance celebration. Mad Apple at New York-New York provides the variety-show alternative comedy, acrobatics, and live music with downtown NYC energy.

Comedy Shows

February’s comedy calendar clusters around two windows: Super Bowl weekend and the back half of the month.

• Sebastian Maniscalco (Feb 6-7, Encore Theatre) lands during Big Game weekend, his observational humor a perfect counterweight to football overload.
• Daniel Tosh (Feb 7, Cosmopolitan) offers one night of sharp, boundary-pushing comedy at the Chelsea.
• Charlie Berens (Feb 21, Palazzo Theatre) brings Midwestern charm and viral “Manitowoc Minute” energy for a Saturday night.
• Ali Wong (Feb 27-28, Encore Theatre) closes the month with her unapologetic delivery and Netflix-honed material.
• Brad Williams (Feb 28, Palazzo Theatre) delivers high-energy comedy that never uses his height as the only punchline.

The usual suspects Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club, Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club, and Comedy Cellar run nightly with rotating headliners throughout the month.

Magic Shows

The permanent magic lineup runs uninterrupted through February, with no significant dark weeks affecting availability.

• David Copperfield at MGM Grand continues his intimate-theater illusions, mixing grandeur with genuine audience connection.
• Shin Lim: Limitless at the Palazzo Theatre showcases sleight-of-hand mastery with mentalist Colin Cloud opening Valentine’s week offers an unexpectedly romantic magic date option.
• Penn & Teller at Rio (Saturday-Wednesday) deliver their trademark blend of comedy and technical wizardry.
• Criss Angel MINDFREAK at Planet Hollywood brings theatrical intensity for those who prefer their magic dark.
• Mat Franco at LINQ offers approachable, participation-heavy magic that works for couples and families alike.

Adult & Burlesque Shows

February’s romantic calendar makes this category busier than usual Valentine’s week books early across the board.

Absinthe at Caesars Palace remains the default choice for couples who want something edgier than dinner. The outdoor Spiegeltent setting, acrobatic stunts, and roast-style comedy create an experience unlike anything else on the Strip. Zombie Burlesque at V Theater adds horror-comedy camp, while Fantasy at Luxor delivers classic showgirl production with modern staging. Magic Mike Live at Sahara draws couples looking for something theatrical and body-positive.

Family Friendly Shows

• Blue Man Group at Luxor runs daily, its sensory-overload format working equally well for kids and adults. The 5pm matinees keep younger viewers on schedule.
• Tournament of Kings at Excalibur offers a dinner jousting spectacle with a 6pm showtime that frees up evenings.
• Jabbawockeez at MGM Grand delivers masked hip-hop dance crew energy at 7pm and 9:30pm best for teens and up.
• Monty Python’s Spamalot at Smith Center (Feb 24-28) brings the Tony-winning Broadway musical to Vegas for a limited run family-friendly for older kids who can handle irreverent British humor.

February Show Dates With Most and Least Options

February’s show calendar changes subtly by day rather than swinging wildly. Some nights offer deeper lineups that work well for last-minute planning, while others scale back slightly and appeal to travelers focused on value or simplicity. Neither approach is better it comes down to how much choice you want in a single evening.

Across the month, daily show counts generally fall between 43 and 53, with most nights landing close to 50 total shows.

Busiest days

These nights are the most forgiving for late decisions, offering the widest range of genres and venues to choose from. The heaviest schedules consistently land midweek, especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays, when daily listings often exceed 52 shows.

Slower days

Sundays are the lightest days of the week in February. On these dates, the daily lineups are from 42–45 shows, trimming down the overall selection. While the list is shorter, these nights can feel less crowded and are often appealing for travelers prioritizing pricing or a more relaxed pace.

• 📅 February 1
• 📅 February 8

February Dark Weeks

February generally avoids long maintenance clusters, but one date stands out. Sunday, February 8, 2026 (Super Bowl Sunday) creates a citywide dip in availability, with multiple productions dark the same night. Travelers visiting that weekend should plan ahead if a specific show is a priority.

Outside of that single disruption, February’s maintenance impact remains limited and easier to work around.

Where To See Shows In February

February’s demand patterns ease as the month progresses, which directly affects where show activity feels most concentrated.

• Week 1 centers around the Convention Center and North Strip, driven by AHR Expo-related travel.
  
• Weeks 2 and 3 normalize across the Central Strip, with no single zone dominating demand.
  
• Week 4 sees lighter, more dispersed activity, allowing flexibility across multiple Strip areas rather than pressure in one corridor.
  

This makes February especially comfortable for travelers staying mid-Strip or planning shows outside the early-month convention window.
