Las Vegas show tickets have a wide price range — the same seat for O by Cirque du Soleil can cost $111 at the box office or $65 from a same-day discount booth. The difference is knowing which method to use and when. Here's what works.
Las Vegas is home to over 80 live shows at any given time, ranging from free lounge acts to $200+ Cirque du Soleil productions. The face price at the box office is rarely the price you need to pay. Every major show in Las Vegas has at least one legitimate discount channel — the question is which one applies to your situation.
The five methods below are ranked from highest potential discount to most reliable availability. The right choice depends on how far in advance you're planning and how flexible you are about which show you see.
1. Half Price Shows Booth (Tix4Tonight)
Tix4Tonight operates six booths on the Strip and sells same-day show tickets at discounts of 20–50%. Inventory is released each morning and sells out by afternoon for popular shows. The booths open at 10am. The best selection is at the Fashion Show Mall location.
Best for: Spontaneous visitors who are flexible about which show they see
Limitation: No advance booking — same day only. Popular shows like O by Cirque sell out quickly.

2. Hotel Package Bundles
Several Strip hotels offer packages that bundle a room with show tickets. The Bellagio packages O tickets with room stays. MGM Resorts properties bundle shows at the Park MGM and Dolby Live with hotel stays. These packages are typically available through the hotel's own website rather than third-party booking sites.
Best for: Visitors who know which show they want and are booking 4–8 weeks in advance
Limitation: Show selection is limited to what the hotel partners with. Doesn't work for independent shows.
3. Casino Loyalty Comp Tickets
MGM Rewards, Caesars Rewards, and Wynn Rewards all offer complimentary show tickets as rewards for casino play. The threshold varies — at MGM, a $500 table games session can generate enough tier credits for two O tickets. The comp system is opaque but real.
Best for: Visitors who plan to gamble anyway and want to maximize their spend
Limitation: Requires actual casino play. Comps are at the casino's discretion and not guaranteed.
4. Goldstar and Groupon
Goldstar (goldstar.com) specializes in entertainment discounts and consistently has Las Vegas show deals. Groupon also lists show discounts, though the selection is narrower. Both sites require advance purchase — typically 24–72 hours before the show.
Best for: Budget-conscious visitors who plan ahead
Limitation: Inventory is limited. The best shows rarely appear at deep discounts. Best for mid-tier shows.
5. Show Websites Direct + Promo Codes
Most Las Vegas shows have email lists that send discount codes to subscribers. Signing up for the O by Cirque, Blue Man Group, or Penn & Teller email lists 2–4 weeks before your trip often yields a 10–15% discount code. The shows' own websites also occasionally run flash sales.
Best for: Visitors who know which show they want and book 2–4 weeks in advance
Limitation: Requires advance planning and email signup. Discounts are modest compared to same-day booths.
