Best of Vegas is a 2011 live album by American singer Frank Sinatra that contains 17 live tracks from the 2006 box set, Sinatra: Vegas.

In the span of a few years, Las Vegas refueled Sinatra's career and Sinatra in turn became the lead figure in the city's ascendance. It was a synergistic relationship that has since become legendary in the annals of 20th century entertainment.

The collection includes live performances of pop standards such as "The Lady Is a Tramp", "I've Got You Under My Skin", "All or Nothing at All", "Pennies from Heaven" and the "Theme From New York, New York".
