Brit Brit may have bailed, but Gaga’s Las Vegas residency at the Park MGM is lit enough for two megawatt divas.

In fact, you have a choice of two distinct Lady Gaga productions—the full-on Enigma spectacle, or the comparatively stripped down, band-backed Jazz & Piano—and either is a bucket list must. We’ve got the inside scoop on how to go about getting tickets, plus a handy list of five local must-do's, LGBTQ-themed events, and definite don’t's when making your trip to Sin City.

Score Your Tickets

Tickets are currently available online for both Enigma and Jazz & Piano at the 5,200-seat Park Theater from May through November (alas, little monsters, the two-night, two-show packages are already sold out). However, members of MGM Resorts’ loyalty program, M Life Rewards, have first dibs advance access to pre-sale tickets for new dates when they are announced. Cher’s run, also at the Park MGM, has tickets available through March.

Celine, meanwhile, is wrapping up her residency at Caesar’s Palace in June, with tickets available via Ticketmaster.

Can’t score Enigma tickets, or still thirsty for more Gaga? Just dance anyway to the perfect illusion of Gaga impersonator Tierney Allen at The Tropicana’s Legends In Concert series.

Enjoy the Show

Enigma is a 90-minute eye-popping production, from the entrance—Gaga flies over the audience like a human mirror ball, holding a keyboard guitar—onward, with a greatest hits set list including “Poker Face,” “Born This Way,” “Bad Romance,” and A Star Is Born’s “Shallow,” which Bradley Cooper joined her onstage for last month.

If possible, resist the temptation to spend the show behind your phone screen, because every queen already has posted the whole show dozens of times from dozens of angles to YouTube. You paid good money, and as always, Mama wants you to put down the phones and be 100 percent present for what she's serving.

Park Yourself

Occupying the former Monte Carlo, the Park MGM and NoMad Las Vegas hotels were completed in January. This $600 million rebirth includes an Eataly, Korean taco food truck innovator Roy Choi’s Best Friend, Daniel Humm and Will Guidara’s NoMad restaurant, vinyl-stocked speakeasy On The Record, and gin-centric Juniper Cocktail Lounge, where you can order a special Enigma cocktail.

It’s liquid artpop!

NoMad restaurant.

Speaking of cocktails, the way-gay Cosmopolitan Hotel is another fab place to settle in—and came off a refresh of its 2,895 rooms in late 2017—with ridiculously chic, photogenic food and drink spots including literal centerpiece, the multi-level The Chandelier Lounge, where you literally sit inside a sparkling chandelier and sip imaginative cocktails.

Hungry? Graze on prestige foodie brands like Eggslut, Milk Bar, Lardo, Pok Pok Wing, Momofuku, and Hattie B’s Hot Chicken.

Check Out Drag Race on the Strip

Quite a few RuPaul’s Drag Race gals live (or have lived) in Las Vegas, including India Ferrah, Shannel, Yara Sofia, Britney impersonator Derrick Barry, Farrah Moan, Kimora Blac, Coco Montrese, and Season 11’s Kahanna Montrese. You can spot them and even more familiar squirrel friends at the “Fruit Loop” gayborhood’s Piranha Nightclub—Kim Chi performs on February 16—and Senor Frog’s Drag Brunch every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

When things get hot in late spring and summer, Luxor hosts a gay pool party, Temptation, on Sundays, starting in May. For even more gay bars and updates, check Visit Las Vegas’ dedicated LGBTQ nightlife page.

Go Downtown

Don’t spend all your time on the strip, because a whole world of culture exists in downtown Las Vegas—and thanks to Uber, it’s relatively cheap to get around. Zappos CEO Tony Hseih spent $350 million revitalizing Fremont Street and its surroundings, which includes a hip shipping container park with a giant fire-spewing praying mantis outside, plenty of tasty eats inside, and loads of Instagram-y street art murals.

In September, downtown plays host to the seventh annual Life Is Beautiful art-music-comedy-food-ideas festival—past headliners include RuPaul, Michelle Wolf, and Empire of the Sun. Don't worry, it's no Fyre Festival.

Also check out recently relocated indie bookstore The Writer’s Block, and get a dose of old school Las Vegas signage and artifacts at The Neon Museum.

Oh, and do be sure to keep an eye out around Vegas for “Joe Calderone,” Gaga’s male drag alter ego. How else is she going to take in a little Vegas without attracting the paparazzi?
