The Book of Mormon plays the Venetian Theatre from Wednesday, November 4, to Sunday, November 15, 2026, and then it's gone. That's 15 performances, mostly evenings with weekend matinees. It runs two and a half hours with an intermission. It's crude, very funny and surprisingly sweet, and it's for adults and older teens. Twelve days. Then the set leaves town.
What the show is
The Book of Mormon follows two Mormon missionaries, the golden-boy Elder Price and the hapless Elder Cunningham, who are sent to a remote village in Uganda when Price had prayed for Orlando. Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, wrote it with Robert Lopez, and it won nine Tony Awards in 2011, including Best Musical. The songs sound like classic Broadway. The lyrics do not.
Who will love it, and who should skip it
If you laugh at South Park, you'll laugh here, and the score is good enough that musical-theater fans who never watched the cartoon tend to come out humming Hello! and I Believe. The jokes go after religion, missionaries, Africa and Broadway itself. That's the point. Anyone easily offended by profanity or religious satire should pick another night out.
Where: Venetian Theatre, The Venetian Resort, center Strip. Dates: November 4 to 15, 2026. Length: 2 hours 30 minutes with an intermission. Best for: couples, friend groups and Broadway fans with a dark sense of humor.

Pair it with the Eagles next door
The run's second weekend overlaps with Eagles at Sphere, which plays November 13 and 14 in the dome connected to the Venetian. A Saturday matinee of Mormon on November 14 and an evening of Hotel California under 16K screens is a full Saturday without a taxi. Our guide to Sphere concerts this fall covers the rest of the Eagles run.

The short version
Book it if Broadway rarely reaches your town or you missed it on tour. It's here for 15 shows. Weekend matinees suit anyone who wants the evening free, and the Venetian's canals and restaurants are steps from the theater door.
