The entertainment capital of the world has a great deal to offer tourists.
The latest is a new show packed with fun from beginning to end. Fresh off its inaugural show on May 26, 2022, Mad Apple has become the newest edition to the Cirque Du Soleil family of shows offered in Las Vegas.
Below you can read about the show highlights, The Nomad Hotel, which is conveniently located right next door to the Mad Apple theater, new and popular dining options at MGM Grand, as well as the Silk Sonic show that is currently playing at the Dolby Live Theater in Las Vegas.

Whether you are a Cirque Du Soleil veteran or you would be a first-time viewer of the Cirque shows, Mad Apple has put together a performance that will impress.
The most notable feature of the new show is its entertainment variety. Unlike the traditional Cirque shows, Mad Apple features stand-up comedians, rappers, magicians, professional singers and dancers as well as its famous aerial acrobatics, all within the same show.
Though the show is packed with so many different types of acts, no scene felt out of place.
The show flows seamlessly from one performer to the next and is able to satisfy the entertainment needs of everyone in your party! Another unique part about the show is the stage and theater design that lets you experience more of the event area than just your assigned seat. Before the show even starts, you can meet the bartender stageside for a drink right before taking your seat. Once the show begins, a custom-fitted stage extension is dropped from the ceiling and fitted over the former bar.
New and Popular Dining in Las Vegas

Opening in June of 2022 at the MGM Grand Hotel is Nellie's Southern Kitchen. This restaurant from the Jonas Brothers' family is set to open its first location on the west coast. After successfully launching their first location in the small town of Belmont, North Carolina, the Jonases have selected Las Vegas for their next dining venue.
With both public and private dining options, Nellie's will be able to host both casual walk-in diners as well as those planning to enjoy a southern meal without any neighbors nearby. When the restaurant first opens in June, dining will be available for both lunch and dinner. The Jonas family hopes to have breakfast and brunch also available by the end of fall.

If you happen to find yourself in the MGM Grand before Nellie's Kitchen is officially open, you are lucky enough to be within walking distance of Morimoto, which happens to be a very popular dining option at the resort. Pictured above you can see the large variety of delicately crafted sushi prepared by the restaurant.

Silk Sonic Show

This performance duet by Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak will keep you in a grooving mood for the entire trip. After the show, don't forget to enjoy the Silk Sonic after party located directly across the casino floor from the Dolby Live Arena. Your ticket to the show will give you access to the afterparty event.
Notes about the show: no phones, photography or video allowed. When you enter the Dolby Live arena, your phone will be placed in a locked container that you will not be able to unlock or access until after the show. This event is not child friendly due to the language used by the performers.
Where to Stay in Las Vegas

Positioned on the top four floors of the Park MGM, the Nomad Hotel opened in late 2018 and remains one of the newest hotel offerings on the strip. If you are looking for a lodging option that gives you that luxury New York feel without the square footage restraints, this is the hotel to stay at.

Though the pool is also attached to the park MGM like the three other pictured, the NoMad pool is elevated four stories above ground and is exclusively available to NoMad guests.

Though no poolside service is available in-suite, room service is only a phone call away.
