It appears that some of the smaller shows will start up in November. No Cirque shows just yet.

Piff the Magic Dragon will be opening as well. I saw his matinee show on my last trip to Vegas and was very funny. A smaller show of course but he has a hilarious showgirl that has worked with him for a few years and they have a very fun on-stage personality. 

David Copperfield's show will be interesting to see when it reopens, his show usually has SO much audience involvement he may be putting in some different routines. It may be a unique opportunity to see some of his older material that he usually doesn't perform anymore.

I also read that they were relocating some of the smaller shows into bigger showrooms within their hotels, so that it would help with social distancing.

Thanks for the info on the shows that are reopening. I'm hoping to be able to get there again for my birthday at the end of February, and while I love just sitting by the pool all day, it would be nice to have some show options for the evening as well.

  Maybe if this is successful, more shows maybe  open by February.  I really want to visit in 2021.  Since shows are a big part of my visit, I won't return until there are more options.  During my visit, I usually do two nature excursions which are all day trips.   One of my destinations is currently closed due to Covid.  So I have to consider that also.

I'm glad to see the Neon Museum has reopened! I went two years ago after having gone shortly after they had initially opened. It's a really great experience and oddly poignant. I highly recommend it.

I went a couple of years ago.  Enjoyed it and would have gone back.....but they won't let you take pictures anymore with a camera.  They changed their policy in 2019.  Only pictures with a cellphone.   I'm not sure how many people are aware of it until they have already paid for their tour.

That's interesting — and unfortunate! I was there in October of 2018 with a cell phone and a regular camera. I went with my family and my dad and uncle are both big hobby photographers and brought fairly large cameras with them. They'd be bummed out by this rule.

It's in the FAQ, but it's not like they make a big point of it: https://www.neonmuseum.org/about/f-a-q

Lizzie, When I went I took a day tour.  Took lots of great pictures with my Nikon.  I had wanted to do a night tour, so in 2019, I booked and paid for a tour.  Then accidently found out about the new policy in the FAQ.  I had to jump hoops to cancel and get my money back.  I finally  did receive a refund.  I advised them to make their policy more aware for customers.  As you can see, they did not take my advice.

Whats the reasoning behind that rule? A photo is a photo?

I assume it's a way of slowing down the professionals who either want to sell the photos (either to media outlets, stock sites, their own collections, etc). It forces those people to pay the extra for the "Photo Tour" admission.

I love Penn and Teller very much.
I advise you to go, you will not regret it.

I'm so heartbroken for my Zu family. I also hated that I found out about this via social media since we don't have our email addresses anymore.

As I suspected, shows reopening are charging, in some cases, double/triple the cost.  If anyone has ever attended a show at the V Theatre, you know it is a lesser budget show.  Still enjoyable, but in most cases, ticket prices were around $50.  Now 6 shows are reopening next week and first week of April, the starting price is over $100.  An afternoon magic show, Nathan Burton, I have seen a couple of times.  Great show, especially for the $12.50 price, I always paid.  Now it is well over $100.

People aren't going to pay $100+ a ticket for a typical Vegas show. It's an act of desperation.

I saw this article about Vegas recently and it really piqued my interest. Wonder if it will work out for Mr. Cole.

Love this! Always wondered why Vegas didn’t have more theater. Can’t say I’ve been to the arts district though!

Any word on what Bellagio intends to do with the "O" theater ? To big for a conventional show and Cirque is done for .

Mr. Roxy, O is reopening in July.  Mystere will follow.  Then a different show reopening each month, after.

They aren’t “done for.”
