Vegas delivers big spectacle today, from the gravity-defying swimmers of "O" by Cirque du Soleil® to the raucous, risqué thrills of Absinthe at Caesars Palace. If immersive tech is more your speed, The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere reimagines a classic with a 360-degree twist. And for a mind-bending night of illusions, Criss Angel MINDFREAK brings jaw-dropping magic to his namesake theater.
For something off the beaten path, catch BattleBots as 250-pound robots tear each other apart in a steel cage just behind Horseshoe. Horror fans can slip into The Beverly Theater's intimate 150-seat room for All the Colors of the Dark, a trippy Italian giallo classic on the big screen. And over at the Sand Dollar Lounge—once home to Muddy Waters and B.B. King—HomeCooking plays a free, horn-driven funk set deep into the night.
