Daytime shows in Las Vegas can be the perfect way to fit more into your itinerary or act as a break from gambling.
Show genre options available during the day range from magic and comedy, all the way to drag and stripper training. There is literally a little something for all tastes.
As an added bonus, many afternoon shows in Vegas are appropriate for kids, making them one of the better things to do with kids in Las Vegas.
As ticket prices can vary based on where you’re buying from, I’ll be sure to link to a couple of options to make comparison shopping an easier task.
On The Strip
Mac King Comedy Magic
In a city that quickly kicks underperforming entertainment options to the curb, Mac King’s daytime show at Excalibur has stood the test of time. Uniquely, Mac incorporates animals like guinea pigs and goldfish into his family-friendly comedy magic routine.

Calling Harrah’s home, Menopause The Musical hilariously pokes fun at the changes that occur mid-life “leaving no topic untouched”. Unlike other daytime shows, Menopause is only for those 21+. Although the show is also offered at night, a 4 pm show is frequently an option.

Ultimately, I just want to help folks plan a better trip and save a few bucks in the process.
