After having a great holiday in Vegas, my only critism was the cost of the evening shows esp for the ones that most people had never heard off. Do these shows get full at these prices or do they sell tickets cheap in the last hour. I thought the Cirque de Soliel shows very pricey

Show prices, like everything else in vegas, have really skyrocketed the last 10 years with the new mega-casinos. Seems everything in Vegas, including shows, gets the price bumped up 50%-just because it's in Vegas and people will pay it.

We have been to Vegas several times. The shows are usually set as far as prices go, however you can check out Cheapovegas.com and find some information on where to get discounted tickets as well as ticket costs for various shows.
Personally I won't pay the over priced charges for the shows no matter how much I would love to see it.It just isnt wort it to me to pay $150.00 for the 2 of us to spend an hour or so watching someone do something. I might be cheap but I can have more fun roaming the strip, seeing the free shows and having a great dinner and bring home souiveners. Last time we went we had an artist sculpt our faces in clay as we watched, they are fairly large and look exactly like us... we paid $40.00 for both, also bought a street artists spray paint painting for 30 dollars. It's amazing what you can do and find without spending a fortune.
Have fun on your next trip

Im not sure that the prices change. I am going to Vegas for my first time next week, and we pre booked cirque du soliel tickets for $85 CND. I think thats a good price, but i dont really know lol. Maybe prebooking for these events is cheaper? Vegas is probably out to get the most money haha,

I've never gotten tickets last minute to a show in Vegas. I just never wanted to take a chance of them being sold out before I got there. Same with New York. Only, in New York you can get tickets last minute if you want to stand in line for the whole afternoon. Just not worth it.
I don't think they lower the ticket prices in Vegas, though. It wouldn't hurt to call and ask. Planning is everything, if you want to do more than gamble. Have a great time!

We saw Zumanity at the New York casino and it was $75 a person. I truly enjoyed the show but it was not a sell out, and we didn't get the expensive seats. You figure they would be cheaper to sell out. I was told after the fact that there are 2 half-price ticket counters that do sell the tickets for 1/2 of what the hotels sell them. Don't know if it is true or not, but I will look into it at our next trip.

Basically, you are paying for location. The show in another, lesser known US city would cost less. Vegas is all about money, and the hotels want you to spend as much of it as possible.
I saw David Copperfield in Vegas 6 years ago for $100 a ticket. I saw the same show 2 yaers later in Dallas for $50.

If you want to get cheaper seats, there is a unit towards The Riviera that sells seats for a variety of shows with some really good discounts off the asking price. Worth the walk if you want to save your money.

Don't think they sell out. There's a cut price ticket booth at the Hawaiin village on the Strip. I think its between the Aladdin and the MGM grand - I was there a few weeks ago and they had lots of good ticket deals for same - day performances

I agree with the cost of the shows. Usually, there are not any last minute seating deals. As a matter of fact, I will only attend shows that have ma-trade seating. You can get cheaper seats, and tip well to get the nice seating down front. Works wonderful with a larger group.

The cost of the shows are way cheaper than gambling for 90 minutes--you will lose way more than $100-$200 in that time frame.
