Regarded as one of the brands—if not the brand—that defines entertainment on the Las Vegas Strip, Cirque du Soleil’s Mystere and O shows will return to Treasure Island and Bellagio June 28 and July 1, respectively. The unmatched artistry and skill of its gravitydefying performers will be on full display—and more appreciated than ever after a more than yearlong pause. The Beatles LOVE at The Mirage and Michael Jackson ONE at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino are also expected to relaunch by the summer’s end. cirquedusoleil.com

There are few comics more influential than Dave Chappelle, and he continues to prove his undeniable draw with arena shows opposite surprise guests (July 2 to 3) and fellow heavy hitter Joe Rogan (July 8 to 9) at MGM Grand Garden Arena. In the past four years, the irreverent personality has performed more than 1,600 shows worldwide, making him one of the most-touring comics on the planet.
