Westgate Las Vegas Shows

What Shows Are Playing at Westgate Las Vegas

Las Vegas Entertainment at the Westgate is split cleanly between two experiences: arena-scale legacy performances and intimate, personality-driven cabaret shows.

Barry Manilow – The Hits Come Home!

Barry Manilow’s residency plays like a celebration rather than a concert.

The production is large, but the emotional focus is on shared memory — the audience sings, waves glow sticks, and treats the night as an event. The International Theater’s scale allows the show to feel expansive without becoming impersonal, and Manilow’s pacing keeps energy high even during quieter moments.

This is a show people plan trips around, not something they add last-minute.

Best fit: fans of classic pop, multi-generational groups
Consider skipping if: you want understatement or contemporary edge

The Magic of Jen Kramer

Jen Kramer’s show thrives on connection.

Rather than mystique, the appeal comes from clarity and warmth. The performance is built around participation and problem-solving, with moments shaped directly by the personalities in the room. The cabaret setting keeps everything close enough to feel conversational rather than theatrical.

It’s one of the more approachable magic experiences in the city.

Best fit: families, daytime planners, magic fans seeking levity
Consider skipping if: you expect large-scale illusions or spectacle

Soul of Motown

Soul of Motown leans into momentum.

The show functions more like a live concert than a staged revue, with vocal harmonies and choreography driving the experience. Crowd response is encouraged, and the energy tends to build steadily rather than peak in isolated moments.

It’s the kind of show that leaves people smiling on the way out.

Best fit: R&B fans, celebratory groups
Consider skipping if: you prefer quiet, seated theater experiences

Other Notable Productions

• The King Comes Home: an Elvis show tribute staged in the very venue where Presley made history
• Frankie Moreno: high-energy rock-and-roll anchored by musicianship rather than nostalgia

Show Overview

Typical Weekly Showing Times

Westgate’s scheduling favors early-evening flexibility.

Cabaret shows often begin in the 5:00–6:00 PM window, making them ideal pre-dinner options. Larger productions anchor weekends, with select dates clustered rather than spread across the week.

This structure appeals to travelers who prefer defined plans over late-night wandering.

Notable Venues Within The Westgate

The International Theater remains one of the most historically significant rooms in Las Vegas concerts. Its elevated stage and expansive acoustics are designed for performers who command attention through presence rather than visual trickery.

The Westgate Cabaret offers a sharp contrast — low stage, close seating, and a layout that favors interaction over distance.

Seats With the Best Views

In the International Theater, center sections several rows back offer the cleanest sightlines to both performer and backdrop.

Cabaret seating rewards proximity. Tables near the front create a noticeably more immersive experience, particularly for magic and vocal performances.

Age Restrictions

• Barry Manilow / Jen Kramer / Soul of Motown: all ages; best engagement from ages 5+
• Elvis tributes: generally all ages, volume may be high for very young children

All minors must be accompanied by an adult.

Dress Code

Westgate audiences dress for the occasion rather than the casino.

Evening legacy shows trend more polished, especially for Manilow, while cabaret performances remain comfortably casual. There’s no enforcement, but guests often mirror the significance of the event.

Getting to The Westgate

The Las Vegas Monorail remains the most efficient way to reach the property, bypassing Strip congestion entirely. For drivers, free parking is a notable advantage, with the North garage offering the shortest walk to the theaters.

Westgate rewards intentional arrival — it’s not a pass-through resort.

Why The Westgate Is Unique

Westgate succeeds because it honors continuity.

It is one of the few venues left where entertainers return year after year, building relationships with their audiences rather than rotating through short-term engagements. The experience feels grounded, familiar, and purposeful — a reminder of a time when Las Vegas shows were destinations in themselves.
