Taking in a Vegas show is as necessary an experience as betting it all on black when visitors come to Las Vegas, and music fans will be thrilled to find that many of their favorite acts have taken up residency in Sin City.

However, 2016 made headlines with the number of Vegas shows that closed. So what should you know if you are heading to Vegas and you want to take in one of the Strip's high-end productions? Well, 2017 is here and there's going to be a lot to choose from. Here are some tips for seeing a show in Vegas this spring.

First, fans of boy bands rejoice. The Backstreet Boys are headed to the Strip. The band will perform at The Axis at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, starting on March 1 through April and then they will be back June 14-16.

Get ready ladies and move over "Thunder Down Under," there's a new show in town. This April, the men of Magic Mike will be bringing their moves to Sin City in a new live erotic show at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The new club will replicate Club Domina from the movie "Magic Mike XXL" and the experience is described as "immersive."

Jennifer Lopez is also at the Axis Theater at Planet Hollywood this spring. Once the Backstreet Boys clear out of there in April, Lopez will take to the stage May 24-31.

Visitors will also want to check out the new T-Mobile Arena, which will celebrate its one-year anniversary this spring and will feature some major headlining acts in the coming months, including George Strait from April 22 to 23 and Janet Jackson on May 14.

The new Park Theater at the Monte Carlo opened in December in the new urban neighborhood created near The Park and the T-Mobile Arena. The theater will be home to Cher's new tour "Classic Cher." The first performances will take place in February, but she will return in the May for several more dates. Ricky Martin and Bruno Mars will also be gracing the stage at the Park Theater this spring. Mars will play March 11 and 12 and return for more dates in September and Ricky Martin will begin a residency in April for select dates and return in June, July and September.
