You've seen the confetti rain down on TV. You've watched Simon Cowell give that reluctant, slightly terrifying thumbs up. For a few years, the logical next step for those performers was a residency at the Luxor Hotel and Casino. But if you’re hunting for America's Got Talent Presents Superstars Live tickets right now, you might notice something weird. The calendars look empty. The "Buy Now" buttons are grayed out.
Honestly, it's because the residency actually wrapped up its run at the Luxor.
It's a bit of a bummer for anyone planning a 2026 trip to the Strip expecting to see Kodi Lee or Light Balance in that specific venue. The show officially finished its stint in late 2024. While Vegas shows often "go dark" only to resurface at a different hotel or as a touring production, the specific "Superstars Live" iteration at the Luxor is, for now, in the history books.
Why the Luxor Residency Ended
Shows in Vegas are basically like high-stakes gambling. Even a brand as massive as AGT isn't immune to the shifting tides of the Strip. The show took over the theater formerly occupied by the Cirque du Soleil production R.U.N (which, let's be real, didn't exactly set the world on fire).
For a while, the AGT show was a massive hit. It was family-friendly in a city that can sometimes feel a bit too "Adults Only." You could bring a ten-year-old and a grandmother and both would actually have a good time. But the logistics of a rotating cast—where performers have other gigs or go on their own solo tours—made it a complex machine to keep running forever.

People loved it because it wasn't just a screen; it was interactive. You had host Jordan Conley or Mike E. Winfield keeping the energy high, and acts like the Pack Drumline literally walking through the aisles.
What the Lineup Usually Looked Like
When the show was in its prime, the variety was staggering. You weren't just getting singers. You were getting:
- Kodi Lee: The musical prodigy who basically redefined what a "Golden Buzzer" meant.
- Aidan Bryant: That kid who taught himself aerial silk in his backyard and ended up performing stunts that would make a seasoned acrobat sweat.
- Light Balance: The neon-drenched dance crew that looked like a video game come to life.
- The Silhouettes: Using shadows to tell stories that honestly made half the audience cry.
The lineup changed frequently, which was part of the charm but also a source of frustration. Some fans would buy tickets hoping to see a specific winner, only to find out they were "off" that night.
The Search for America's Got Talent Presents Superstars Live Tickets in 2026
Since the permanent residency ended, the search for tickets has shifted. You won't find them on the Luxor's main booking page anymore. So, where do you go?

Basically, the brand is transitioning. There are two things to look out for if you're desperate for that live AGT fix. First, keep an eye on the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. This is where the actual TV show films its live episodes. If you want to see the real thing—the judges, the buzzers, the "America, you have voted"—those tickets are actually free. You have to sign up through On Camera Audiences. They release them in batches, and you have to be fast.
Secondly, there are rumors of a "Live Tour" model returning. Instead of staying in one spot in Vegas, the "Superstars" would hit the road. This hasn't been officially greenlit for a full 2026 schedule yet, but it’s the most likely path forward.
A Warning About Resale Sites
If you see a site claiming to sell "America's Got Talent Presents Superstars Live tickets" for a date next week at the Luxor, be careful. Scalpers and outdated ticket aggregators sometimes leave listings up long after a show has closed. Always cross-reference with the official MGM Resorts website or Ticketmaster. If the dates don't exist there, the tickets aren't real.
Is it Worth Seeing a Different Variety Show?
If you had your heart set on AGT and you're already in Vegas, don't let it ruin your trip. The "variety show" DNA is everywhere.

- V — The Ultimate Variety Show at Planet Hollywood is a solid alternative. It’s got that same "rapid-fire" pacing.
- Absinthe at Caesars Palace is like the "R-rated" version of AGT. It’s definitely not for kids, but the level of talent is arguably higher.
- Mad Apple by Cirque du Soleil blends comedy, music, and stunts in a way that feels very "AGT Finale."
How to Get Tickets for the TV Show Instead
Since the Vegas residency is currently dormant, the only way to see the "Superstars" in person is often to catch them while they are filming the actual season.
- Register Early: Go to the On Camera Audiences website. Don't wait until the season starts.
- The Waitlist is Real: Even with a ticket, it’s not a guarantee. They overbook the theater to ensure it looks full on camera. You have to show up early—sometimes hours early—to actually get a seat.
- Dress the Part: They want the audience to look "Vegas-ready" or "California-chic." Avoid big logos or bright white shirts that mess with the cameras.
The experience of a live taping is a lot different than the Luxor show. In the Luxor show, you were there for a polished, 90-minute spectacle. In a live taping, there’s a lot of "hurry up and wait." You’ll watch them reset the stage, move the cameras, and you might see the same act twice if they need a "pickup" shot. But hey, you get to see Simon, Sofia, Heidi, and Howie in the flesh. That’s worth the price of admission (which, again, is $0).
Final Thoughts on the AGT Live Experience
It’s a bit of a transition period for the brand. The Luxor residency was a massive experiment in bringing reality TV to the stage, and for several years, it was one of the most consistent family draws in Nevada. While the specific 2026 hunt for America's Got Talent Presents Superstars Live tickets might lead to some "Sold Out" or "No Events" messages, the talent itself hasn't gone anywhere.
Next Steps for You: If you're still craving that variety-style entertainment, your best bet is to check the Visit Pasadena guides for the Season 21 filming schedule, or look into the Vegas.com variety show section to see which AGT alumni have branched off into their own headlining acts. Many former performers, like Mat Franco or Shin Lim, have their own dedicated theaters now. Catching a solo show by a former winner is often a more "premium" experience anyway, as you get 90 minutes of their specific craft rather than just a 10-minute snippet.
