Las Vegas Headliners
The names on the marquee — resident stars with their own ongoing Vegas shows.
About Las Vegas Headliners
A Vegas headliner is a performer whose own name fills the marquee night after night — the magicians, comedians, and entertainers who anchor the Strip's theaters year-round rather than passing through on tour. This page collects every resident headliner currently performing in Las Vegas: institutions like Penn & Teller and Wayne Newton, modern magic stars like Shin Lim, Mat Franco, and Piff the Magic Dragon, and the working headliners — mentalists, hypnotists, and comics — who play the same room week in, week out.
The bar for this list: the performer's own name (or act) is the show, and the run is ongoing — no tribute acts performing as someone else, no rotating-lineup comedy clubs, no one-night tour stops. Every page carries the real schedule, honest pricing, and our editorial read on who each show is actually for.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a headliner and a residency?
Headliner describes the performer — a named star with their own ongoing Vegas show. Residency describes the arrangement — recurring blocks of dates at one venue, most often used for music stars. Many acts are both; our Residencies page covers the music side.
Who are the longest-running Vegas headliners?
Wayne Newton — 'Mr. Las Vegas' — has performed here for six decades. Among current shows, Penn & Teller's run at the Rio and Mac King's comedy-magic afternoon show rank among the Strip's longest-tenured.
Are headliner shows expensive?
The spread is wide: afternoon headliners run under $50, most evening magic and mentalism shows sit in the $40-90 range, and marquee names climb past $100. Each page here lists verified from-prices.
Do headliners actually perform every show?
Yes — that's the point of this list. We only include shows where the named performer takes the stage themselves (and drop shows that lose their star). Brand-name clubs with rotating lineups are excluded.
