See Broadway Shows in Las Vegas
The Las Vegas Strip has become more family friendly over the last decade. One of the approaches of business owners in the city is to build new theaters and bring in Broadway shows to draw theater lovers from the West Coast. Once you learn the difference between Broadway shows in Las Vegas and New York City, you can appreciate every show that you see on your vacation.
Instructions
1. Anticipate shorter versions of certain Broadway shows when you see them in Las Vegas. Longer productions like Phantom of the Opera have been cut down in order to appease tourists and save time for a second show in the evening.
2. Focus your Broadway show experience in Las Vegas to shows with a permanent presence in the city. Productions like Mama Mia! have a cast present on the Strip year round to ensure quality control. You should avoid shows with multiple touring companies unless it is a show you absolutely want to see.
3. Explore the lineup of new theaters in Las Vegas that are created by local hotels and businesses. These theaters draw in a combination of Broadway fans and tourists who are also in town to enjoy gambling.
4. Pay an additional fee with each show ticket to get behind-the-scenes access for major productions. This fee typically doubles the ticket price but allows you to meet cast members and peak behind the curtain before the show.
5. Purchase tickets for 2 shows if there are back-to-back performances in a single night. Some theaters put on 2 distinct plays in one evening while others run the same sappeal to different demographics as the evening progresses. Twin bills in Las Vegas theaters typically take place on Friday or Saturday nights.
6. Plan your theater experience in Las Vegas months in advance for popular shows. You should take note of award winning shows and long running productions about to close.
7. Use the savings from theater tickets in Las Vegas to purchase merchandise and memorabilia. Tickets in the city called "Broadway West" by most critics, cost less than tickets in New York City to appeal to a wider audience.
