The Backstreet Boys aren’t the only ones leaving their mark in Las Vegas this spring. From comedy acts to musical talents and everything in between, a wide variety of shows are set to take over Vegas’ most popular hotels in the coming months.
Known for its collection of engaging shows for every age group and preference, Las Vegas nightlife holds a reputable accolade when it comes to entertainment; perhaps the reason it has been loosely dubbed as the entertainment capital of the world. To add to the excitement, the hustling and bustling city will play host to five new and returning shows this spring:
