Las Vegas: Purple Reign at Las Vegas Shows

About Las Vegas: Purple Reign

Purple Reign is a live tribute show at The Orleans Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, dedicated to the music and performance style of Prince. The production features either Jason Tenner or Donelvan Thigpen in the lead role, and extends its tribute to Morris Day and The Time as well as Vanity 6, covering a broad sweep of the Prince catalogue and the wider Minneapolis sound that defined an era. The show has received award recognition on the Las Vegas tribute circuit and draws on the visual and musical energy of the Purple Rain period.

The set draws from Prince's most recognisable material, recreating the high-energy stage presence and costume theatrics that made the original performances so distinctive. For fans of the 1984 film Purple Rain or the broader funk and pop catalogue, the production covers the key reference points across its runtime.

What to expect

Audiences see a full live performance built around Prince's catalogue, with costume changes, band accompaniment, and tributes to supporting acts Morris Day and The Time and Vanity 6. Seating is divided into VIP, Preferred, and General Admission categories, with placement within each tier allocated on a first-come, first-seated basis, so arriving early is advisable. Tickets include admission to the show, and an optional drink voucher is available at the time of booking. The venue offers wheelchair-accessible seating.
