Season 3 Vegas Round

The Vegas Round of Season 3 of America's Got Talent took place from August 5, 2008 to August 7, 2008 in Las Vegas. 40 acts proceeded to the Quarterfinals, and 73 acts were eliminated.

Process
19 out of the 113 acts that made it to Vegas were eliminated without even being given a chance to perform. The remaining 94 acts were trimmed down to a short list of 60 acts in the first of the two callback episodes, and the remaining acts were further trimmed to a Top 40 group in the second episode. The Top 40 advanced to the live shows. After the filming of the callbacks, one of the members of the Russian Bar Trio named Kristine was seriously injured. This opened up a slot in the Top 40 group. The judges selected eight acts, all of which had been eliminated during the callbacks. Viewers voted from among the eight.
