Travelers often plan trips around a handful of highlights — a concert, a sight to see, a park to visit, or a couple of key eateries to taste. Las Vegas is different.
When you arrive in The Entertainment Capital of the World, your itinerary isn’t built around one or two must-sees — the entire city is must-see. You come to escape, luxuriate, and indulge yourself. You expect to be entertained 24/7. You expect the Vegas Experience.
And no place in Sin City has defined the Vegas Experience more than the legendary Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino.
Once the largest hotel in the world, the Westgate Las Vegas opened in July 1969 as The International Hotel. That same month, the International Stage was christened by none other than the King, himself, Elvis Presley, who went on to sell out the 2,000-seat theater for 636 consecutive shows — cementing the Westgate Las Vegas as a live entertainment mecca for decades to come.
Since then, the Westgate Las Vegas has welcomed music icons, comedic icons, and mind-bending musicians. The resort has also adapted and reinvented itself by expanding its entertainment options far beyond the stage. The resort now also features top-rated restaurants, a posh spa, the world’s largest sportsbook, and rooms so well-appointed that they feel like resorts within themselves.
The only question is: What’s your Westgate Las Vegas Experience going to look like?

When it comes to pure entertainment,
Westgate Las Vegas is a must-see destination
Live Entertainment
Celebrate Elvis’s 90th birthday by taking part in the Westgate Las Vegas’s year-long tribute to The King. There are displays of Elvis memorabilia, including a gun collection, a lock of hair, belt buckles, cuff links, a diamond ring, and a pair of stage-worn boots. There’s also a behind-the-scenes tour retracing Presley’s footsteps, including a visit to his green room and the theater stage. It all culminates in two July 31 showings of The King Returns, a recreation of his first Westgate concert on the 56th anniversary of that illustrious debut.
Then the legend lives on four days a week at the famed Westgate Cabaret Theater with The King Comes Home, the latest and greatest musical tribute to immortal songs of Elvis Presley.
Speaking of pop music royalty, the Westgate is also home to Barry Manilow, the man who has sold 85 million albums and charted 50 Top 40 hits. Experience the heralded performer who brought us classics like Mandy, I Write the Songs, and Copacabana, as never before at one these upcoming dates through the end of the year.

With the NFL Raiders, NHL Golden Knights, WNBA Aces, NBA Summer League, and MLB’s A’s on the way, Vegas is fast becoming a year-round sports mecca. But you don’t need to buy tickets to the stadium or arena to enjoy the best gameday action.
Instead of sitting in the nosebleeds, grab one of more than 350 comfy seats in the SuperBook Westgate Las Vegas, the largest Race and Sportsbook in the world — and one of the highest rated. Watch a world of sporting action and track scores on the massive 220-by18-foot 4K video wall while enjoying drinks from the fully stocked bar, cocktail service, and convenient food options from The Court.
Place your bets on the mobile app, or consult a member of the friendly staff standing by to explain any betting combination, help you place your bets, and hopefully cash out your winnings after an action-packed day. And no matter what the score in the game, Westgate's liberal comps make you feel like a winner.

This much fun requires fuel — and in Las Vegas, food and drink are a vital part of the experience. Westgate delivers with top-notch eateries serving a vast array of culinary delights. Sit down for the show at world-famous Benihana exhibition-style Japanese, cut into the choicest cuts at top-rated Edge Steakhouse, or explore the meats, seafood, and pasta at TripAdvisor’s top-ranked Las Vegas Italian restaurant, Fresco Italiano. There’s also plenty of pizza, burgers and pub grub, Asian, sushi, and street-style tacos.
And for a nightcap at any time of the day, hit up the timeless elegance of the Velvet Bar, as well as free, live entertainment every night at The International Bar, located on the casino floor.
Food and Drink
If R&B is more your speed, the Westgate runs the best Motown show in Las Vegas. The award-winning Soul of Motown is a high-octane musical tribute to the vocal legends of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, from doo-wop to soul. You’ll hear homages to the likes of The Temptations, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Sam Cooke, The Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, The O’Jays, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, and more.
The Westgate has other entertainment tricks up its sleeve, such as the Magic of Jen Kramer, the resort and hotel’s headlining magician for the past six years. Kramer combines mind-bending sleight of hand with mentalism, audience participation, and a touch of comedy that has dazzled Vegas crowds for years.
And of course, there are national- and world-touring acts that make it a point to stop through the Westgate on their way through Las Vegas. This year, the Westgate stage will welcome marquis entertainers like comedians Tracy Morgan, Randy Rainbow, and Pat McGann; musical luminaries like Maxi Priest, Smash Mouth, The Marshall Tucker Band, Air Supply, and Morris Day and the Time and more. (Check the calendar for the latest artists, dates, and details on how to buy tickets.)
Sometimes “entertainment” is just relaxing and restoring your health and energy. Find balance and bliss as you’ve never experienced at Serenity Spa by Westgate. From spa treatments, manicures, anti-aging facials, innovative therapies, or a couple’s massage, the Westgate takes a holistic approach to renewal of the body and mind. Then get in a workout at the Fitness Center or fix yourself up at the Artistry Salon for a night out on the town — or staying in to explore all the entertainment options the Westgate Las Vegas has to offer.
With a convenient stop on the Las Vegas Monorail, the Westgate Las Vegas is open to all comers looking to redefine what Vegas Entertainment means.
