RuPaul's Drag Race LIVE! at the Flamingo Las Vegas brings all the charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent of the hit reality competition directly to the Vegas Strip in a high-energy production that's become a must-see for fans of the show.

Launched in January 2020 (with pandemic-related pauses), this Vegas residency features a rotating cast of fan-favorite queens from the TV series performing in a production that combines the best elements of the show—lip syncs, comedy, dance numbers, and runway walks—with Vegas-caliber production values. The show typically runs about 90 minutes and takes place in the Flamingo Showroom.

The production is directed by RuPaul and Jamal Sims (the show's resident choreographer), with original music by RuPaul and longtime collaborator Leland. Rather than simply recreating the TV competition, the Vegas show presents an original storyline where the queens compete in a live Drag Race experience, complete with challenges and runway presentations.

What makes the show particularly exciting for fans is its ever-changing roster of performers. The cast has included notable queens like Derrick Barry, Kameron Michaels, Asia O'Hara, Naomi Smalls, Vanessa "Vanjie" Mateo, Yvie Oddly, and Jaida Essence Hall, among others. This rotating lineup means repeat visitors often get a fresh experience with different performers and routines.

The production values are genuinely impressive, featuring elaborate costumes, professional choreography, stunning lighting effects, and Vegas-worthy staging. It's designed to work both for die-hard fans who understand every reference and newcomers who might be experiencing drag entertainment for the first time.

Beyond the performance itself, the show offers VIP packages that include meet-and-greets with the queens and prime seating. The merchandise booth sells exclusive items you can't find anywhere else.

RuPaul's Drag Race LIVE! has successfully translated the spirit of the TV show into a distinctly Vegas entertainment experience, creating something that honors the franchise while standing as its own unique production. For LGBTQ+ travelers to Las Vegas, it represents a pinnacle of gay entertainment in a city that's provided some very gay shows over the years.
