Wastin' Away: A Poolside Tribute to Jimmy Buffett
BRAND NEW SHOW - OPENS MAY 24, 2026!
Las Vegas has found its ultimate summer night out. Wastin' Away: A Poolside Tribute to Jimmy Buffett transforms the iconic poolside setting of The Modern Showrooms at Alexis Park Resort Hotel into a tropical paradise every Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday night, bringing the timeless music and sun-soaked spirit of Jimmy Buffett to life under the Las Vegas sunset.
Featuring live performances by Jonny Bird, Wastin' Away takes Parrotheads, Parrot Heads, and Jimmy Buffett fans on a musical journey through Jimmy Buffett's greatest hits — the songs that defined a generation of good times, cold drinks, and carefree living. This is the ultimate Margaritaville experience in Las Vegas — trop rock under the stars, Caribbean soul in the desert, and the laid-back Buffett lifestyle brought to life poolside in a way no Las Vegas Strip show can match.
Sing along to the songs you know and love, performed live by Jonny Bird in an open-air poolside setting unlike anything else on the Las Vegas entertainment scene:

- Cheeseburger in Paradise
- Fins
- Come Monday
- Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes

From Margaritaville to the Coral Reefer spirit, this is the Las Vegas tribute show Buffett fans have been waiting for.
