Vegas Shows In June 2026

Top Headliners and Residency Shows

1. No Doubt concludes their historic 18-show residency at the Sphere with six final performances in June. As the first female-fronted act to headline the venue, blending 90s ska-punk iconography with fully immersive visuals and spatial sound. These dates represent the final opportunity to see the original lineup perform an extended residency before the production is dismantled, making early June one of the most in-demand windows of the summer.
2. Kenny Chesney takes over the Sphere beginning June 19, launching the venue’s first major country music residency. Designed specifically for Sphere’s audio system, the production emphasizes atmosphere over spectacle—using coastal imagery and open-air stadium illusions to mirror Chesney’s beach-centric brand. The setlist leans heavily on BORN, positioning this run as a true summer residency rather than a standard tour stop.
3. New Kids on the Block open The Right Stuff residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM on June 19. Unlike previous touring versions, this production is engineered for a fixed venue with permanent multi-level staging. The residency celebrates the group’s full 40-year catalog and draws a multigenerational crowd that aligns naturally with summer travel patterns.
4. Rod Stewart closes out his long-running Caesars Palace residency with three early-June performances at the Colosseum. After 15 years in the room, these dates are billed as the definitive end of The Encore Shows. The set remains hit-forward and the timing aligns closely with Father’s Day demand for legacy acts.

Best Shows by Category

June’s permanent roster runs without interruption as summer heat shifts demand toward indoor theaters and evening performances. Father’s Day weekend increases interest in classic rock and legacy artists, while Broadway touring productions begin their summer rotation downtown.

Cirque du Soleil Shows

Five Cirque du Soleil productions continue their standard schedules through June, offering temperature-controlled escapes from 100°F+ afternoons. There are no extended dark periods beyond weekly off-nights.

• “O” at Bellagio remains the premier romantic choice. The 1.5-million-gallon aquatic stage hosts synchronized swimmers, platform divers, and aerialists in a 90-minute production that remains one of the highest-rated shows on the Strip. Wednesday–Sunday, 6:30pm and 9pm.

• KÀ at MGM Grand delivers cinematic action built around martial arts choreography and a rotating vertical stage. The scale and pyrotechnics play best with teens and adults. Monday–Wednesday and Saturday–Sunday, 6pm and 8:30pm.

• Mystère at Treasure Island continues as Cirque’s most family-friendly option. Classic circus acts, colorful staging, and comedic characters make it accessible for first-timers and families with kids 5+. Friday–Tuesday, 6pm and 8:30pm.

• Michael Jackson ONE at Mandalay Bay integrates MJ’s catalog with urban dance and aerial work. The Thriller sequence alone remains a highlight, especially for music-forward audiences. Thursday–Monday, 6:30pm and 9pm.

• Mad Apple at New York-New York skews younger and edgier, blending live music, acrobatics, and stand-up comedy into a nightclub-style format. The late showtime fits summer schedules well. Tuesday–Saturday.

Comedy Shows

June’s comedy calendar centers on arena-level headliners transitioning into more intimate theaters, particularly at the Wynn and Cosmopolitan. The summer crowd mix favors early sell-outs for weekend dates.

• Sebastian Maniscalco (June 6–7, Encore Theatre) brings his high-energy physical comedy to the Wynn, focusing on modern social absurdities and family dynamics.

• Jim Gaffigan (June 26–28, Encore Theatre) returns with clean, food-centric material that works well for multigenerational audiences and early evening showtimes.

• Daniel Tosh (June 7, The Chelsea) delivers his trademark sharp, unfiltered stand-up in a single-night appearance that contrasts with the month’s legacy-heavy lineup.

• Luenell performs select dates at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club, offering late-night sets that lean raunchy and observational.

For nightly comedy options, Comedy Cellar at Rio continues its New York–style rotating lineups, while Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club at MGM Grand books touring headliners throughout the month.

Magic Shows

From legendary illusionists to intimate close-up artistry, Las Vegas’s magic scene excels in June. For a different experience, consider adding Piff the Magic Dragon to the lineup, which brings a uniquely dry-humored and offbeat charm to the genre.

• The Iconic Experience: David Copperfield (MGM Grand)
  The definitive choice for a first-time magic spectacle. Copperfield blends world-famous grand illusions with personal narrative in his custom theater, creating a polished, theatrical journey that defined the modern Vegas magic show.
  Key Appeal: Legendary status, full-scale illusions, personal storytelling.
• The Cerebral & Comedic Act: Penn & Teller (Rio)
  A masterclass in intellectual engagement and humor. The duo deconstructs magic with skepticism and wit, balancing astonishing secrets with transparent honesty, and famously stays after every show to meet the audience.
  Key Appeal: Witty deconstruction, intellectual angle, post-show meet & greet.
• The Sleight-of-Hand Virtuoso: Shin Lim (Venetian Theatre)
  A mesmerizing study in precision and silence. The two-time “America’s Got Talent” champion focuses entirely on impossibly elegant card manipulation, creating a modern, theatrical atmosphere enhanced by mentalist Colin Cloud.
  Key Appeal: Breathtaking close-up artistry, modern and atmospheric, theatrical presentation.
• The Theatrical Rock Spectacle: Criss Angel MINDFREAK (Planet Hollywood)
  Magic meets rock concert. This high-octane production prioritizes shock and awe with daring escapes, pyrotechnics, and large-scale illusions set to a driving soundtrack for a sensory-heavy experience.
  Key Appeal: High-energy spectacle, rock & roll vibe, large-scale stunts.
• The Family-Friendly Value: Mac King Comedy Magic Show (Excalibur)
  The perfect afternoon escape. King’s charm and clever, visual comedy magic deliver exceptional value, providing laughs and wonder that genuinely entertain both children and adults in a relaxed setting.
  Key Appeal: Hilarious and clever, exceptional value, ideal for all ages.
• The Offbeat Alternative: Piff the Magic Dragon
  For a different flavor, this act offers a hilariously deadpan performance from a man in a dragon suit and his chihuahua sidekick. The magic is excellent, but the unique, dry comedic persona is the real draw.
  Key Appeal: Unique comedic character, dry humor, excellent magic with a twist.

Adult & Burlesque Shows

Vegas after dark stays busy through June as summer crowds lean into late-night entertainment. Absinthe at Caesars Palace continues as the Strip’s top-rated adult show, blending dangerous acrobatics with politically incorrect humor in an outdoor Spiegeltent. For a more refined burlesque aesthetic, Dita Von Teese appears on select dates at Voltaire at The Venetian, pairing high-fashion glamour with classic tease. Magic Mike Live at SAHARA remains the top group-friendly option, emphasizing choreography and theatrical production over standard revue formats.

Family-Friendly Shows

As school breaks begin, June sees an increase in family travel, and Las Vegas offers more kid-appropriate options than its reputation suggests.

• The Wizard of Oz at Sphere runs daily immersive screenings that use the world’s largest screen to recreate the journey to Oz. Multiple showtimes make it easy to fit into a sightseeing schedule.

• Shucked (June 2–7, The Smith Center) brings the Tony Award-winning musical comedy downtown, offering fast-paced humor that works for older kids and teens.

• Tournament of Kings at Excalibur combines dinner theater with jousting and pyrotechnics, while Jabbawockeez at MGM Grand translate viral hip-hop choreography into theatrical scale.

For quieter afternoons, Mac King Comedy Magic and Nathan Burton Comedy Magic provide affordable, family-friendly options that don’t require late nights.Cirque considerations remain consistent: Mystère works best for ages 5+, KÀ suits older kids, and Michael Jackson ONE resonates most with children familiar with the music.

June Show Dates With Most and Least Options

June follows a predictable weekly rhythm instead of dramatic swings. The number of available performances changes by day, shaping how flexible last-minute planning feels and where value opportunities tend to appear.

June Dark Weeks

January’s Vegas show calendar will remain busy, causing availability to tighten quickly when multiple major productions pause at the same time. That’s especially true when maintenance breaks overlap with heavy convention traffic, narrowing the number of headline options on certain dates.

These dark periods do not mean zero shows,  but they will matter if your trip is built around a specific production or venue. Understanding where those gaps fall makes it easier to adjust plans or choose a different night altogether.

Cirque du Soleil

June’s overall show volume stays strong, but individual productions still pause due to regular weekly dark days and occasional maintenance windows. These gaps don’t shrink the citywide lineup, but they matter for travelers focused on a specific title.

The most notable interruption is a mid-month maintenance window for “O”, which is the primary date range to keep in mind.

Where To See Shows In June

As temperatures rise, June’s demand centers on areas that benefit most from indoor, evening-focused activity.

• Throughout the month, the Central Strip and mid-Strip corridors see the most consistent demand due to WSOP-driven traffic.
  
• Late-month weekends receive an added lift when IBS overlaps with ongoing poker events.
  
• Unlike spring convention months, pressure does not rotate between zones — it remains stable and centrally focused.
  

This makes June especially well suited for travelers staying mid-Strip and planning multiple show nights without navigating shifting congestion patterns.
