Could holograms remake Las Vegas entertainment? In this week's video we're looking at past, present, and future holographic shows and projects headed to Sin City.
Las Vegas has always been about spectacle, and now holograms are taking that spectacle to a whole new level. In this video, we explore how holographic technology is transforming shows, residencies, and attractions all over the Strip.
One of the most talked-about productions is Michael Jackson ONE at MGM Grand. While it doesn’t feature a full hologram of Michael Jackson performing live on stage, it does use advanced projection mapping, 3D visuals, and immersive effects that create powerful, larger-than-life moments that feel almost holographic. It’s a perfect example of how Vegas blends technology with performance art.
Then there’s WOW – The Vegas Spectacular at Rio Hotel & Casino, which incorporates visual illusions and high-tech stage effects that often get mistaken for holograms. From Pepper’s Ghost-style illusions to modern projection techniques, these shows use clever staging and lighting to create jaw-dropping images that appear to float in midair.
Beyond traditional theaters, holographic-style visuals are popping up in immersive attractions, nightlife venues, and large-scale digital displays like the groundbreaking Sphere. While not a hologram venue in the strict sense, its massive LED interior and exterior screens create hyper-real visuals that blur the line between screen and reality.
In this video, we break down what’s truly holographic, what’s projection magic, and how Las Vegas continues to push the boundaries of entertainment technology. If you’re curious about the future of live shows, digital performers, and mind-blowing visual effects on the Strip, this is one you don’t want to miss.
