V – The Ultimate Variety Show – Las Vegas Show Review 2026

Venue: V Theater, inside Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino | Type: Variety | Duration: 75 minutes | Schedule: 7pm nightly. Doors open at 6:40pm. Select performances at 5:30pm or 8:30pm.

A rotating cast of about a dozen specialty acts — acrobats, jugglers, magicians, comedians, and daredevils — performing nightly since 2002 at Planet Hollywood.

Overview

V – The Ultimate Variety Show is a nightly variety production at V Theater inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The show has been running in Las Vegas since 2002, when it premiered at the Venetian Resort & Casino before moving to its current home in 2004. It was created by David Saxe, who grew up in a Las Vegas showbiz family — his mother performed in Les Folies Bergere and his father was a saxophonist and bandleader for the Rat Pack.

The format is a rotating cast of specialty acts. On any given night, roughly a dozen performers take the stage in sequence, each doing a short set in their discipline: roller skating, juggling, hand-to-hand acrobatics, magic, comedy, hoop artistry, aerial performance, and more. Because the cast rotates, repeat visitors often see different performers than they did on a previous visit.

Current acts include Wally Eastwood, billed as the world's fastest juggler, who also hosts the show; The Skating Aratas, a daredevil roller skating duo; Tamara Yerofeeva, an Olympic rhythmic gymnast and hoop artist; Iouri and Gabor, hand-to-hand acrobats; Russ Merlin, a comedy act that incorporates audience volunteers; The Crazy Gauchos, comedians and percussionists; Yasu, a hoop artist and German wheel gymnast; Jason Byrne, a magician who works with birds; and aerialists who perform above the audience. Several performers have appeared on America's Got Talent, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and other television programs.

Critics have described V as “seven shows rolled into one.” The show is family-friendly and works for mixed groups where not everyone has the same taste in entertainment. It is one of the few Las Vegas shows where the content genuinely varies from night to night. For families looking for a variety option, it is worth comparing to [WOW – The Vegas Spectacular](/shows/wow-the-vegas-spectacular), which is a larger-scale production with a fixed cast and more theatrical staging.
