The Music of Las Vegas

Welcome to the one, the only Las Vegas, America's undisputed playground — and a magnet for the world's most colossal entertainers. We've got the cream of the crop, representing every Vegas era, from the chilled-martini heyday of the Rat Pack (Frank Sinatra's "The Lady Is a Tramp") to the age of the modern spectacular (Cirque du Soleil's "Wind").

Whatever your groove, Vegas delivers: from post-punk revivalists/Sin City residents the Killers ("Mr. Brightside") to the diva of all divas, Celine Dion ("My Heart Will Go On"); from the swoon-inducing croon of Dean Martin ("That's Amore") to the towers of percussion constructed by Blue Man Group ("PVC IV").

There's simply no way you can leave Vegas without saluting Elvis Presley. We've got the King at the height of his cape-wearing, soaring-sound powers ("Kentucky Rain" was recorded in Vegas, February 1970) and in full mid-'60s swing with his Viva Las Vegas costar Ann-Margret ("The Lady Loves Me").

In Vegas there's only one time: showtime, babies — showtime. And if the entertainment is of mindblowing, world-class caliber, you'd better believe we've included it here: Liberace injecting his ivories with spellbinding power on "Stella by Starlight," Tom Jones unleashing his monolithic baritone on "Thunderball," and the original cast of Mamma Mia! gracing ABBA with the full lung-bustin' treatment on "Money, Money, Money." Until your next visit, we offer you our Las Vegas Essentials. The party has only just begun.
