Here's the thing nobody tells you about Vegas: some of the most fun you'll have on the Strip costs less than dinner. You don't need a hundred-dollar ticket to have a great night — you need the right cheap show.
We pulled every show in our catalog priced $50 or under and ranked them cheapest first. Every price below is the real "from" price through Vegas Sidekick — no membership, no account, clear ticket details, no markup games. Prices climb as you scroll, so the higher you go, the more you're paying (still under fifty bucks).

Yes. Price in Vegas is mostly about venue size and production budget, not quality. A $30 magic or comedy show in an intimate theater can be every bit as entertaining as a $150 arena spectacle — it's just closer and smaller. Every show on this list is one we'd send our own friends to.
Allstars of Magic and Paranormal are tied for the cheapest magic show at $31, followed by Nathan Burton Comedy Magic at $32. For families, Nathan Burton, Paranormal, and Mac King are the easy picks.
Yes — Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club ($27) and Marc Savard Comedy Hypnosis ($28) both come in under thirty dollars, with Allstars of Magic and Paranormal ($31) just above.
Seven of the $40 shows here — All Motown, Sinatra Live!, Queen Selena, Sir Elton, King of Diamonds, America The Show, and Wastin' Away — all run at the Athena Showlounge inside Alexis Park Resort, an off-Strip venue that rotates a roster of tribute and variety acts through one intimate room. Same price, same room, a different show every night of the week.
Not through Vegas Sidekick. Every price shown is the real starting price — no membership, no account required, and no surprise service charges at checkout.
