Among the more popular Las Vegas bachelorette party itinerary ideas, drag shows are offered on the Strip, on Fremont Street, and away from the action at various LQBTQ-friendly bars and clubs.
For those seeking drag shows in Las Vegas, I thought it would be helpful to lay out your options by geography, as they can be somewhat difficult to find.
For each show, I’ll link out to a couple of ticket sources (when possible) so that you can easily compare and contrast pricing to find the best deal.
