The first Vegas show

Opening Segment

Judges decide who will perform on Day 1, who will be on stand-by for Day 2. And who will go straight home.

They show the acts coming to Vegas for the show.

They show the judges deciding/arguing. They show montages of some of the acts we've seen.

The acts see what Vegas has to offer. (Montage of the acts traveling around Vegas, and voice overs of their dreams.)

Judges on stage.
Sharon: Welcome to Vegas Week. Our job is to find the best of the best.
Howie: Not everyone will be able to perform, but those that do, this needs to be the best performance of your live.

Commercials / Segment #2

The rest will be on standby, and will perform tomorrow for the remaining spots.
