The Vegas Round of Season 5 of America's Got Talent took place from July 6, 2010 to July 7, 2010, in Las Vegas. A total of at least 88 acts auditioned. 48 acts proceeded to the Quarterfinals, and at least 40 acts were eliminated.
- Because Twisted Trystan & Krystan withdrew from the competition before the Quarterfinals, Nick Pike was given their spot even though he had been eliminated.
Strikethroughsindicate that the act was picked to return for the Wild Card Show despite being eliminated in the Vegas Round.
Process[]
Each act voted through to the Vegas Round by the judges after its audition was categorized into one of three groups. The first group consisted of "Judges' Favorites" acts, acts considered by the judges to have the greatest chance to move onto the live shows, but who had to perform in Las Vegas again before the judges could make a final decision. The second group consisted of "Standby" acts, acts considered by the judges to have a lesser chance of moving onto the live shows, and thus would perform in Las Vegas for any spots not taken by the Judges' Favorites. The third group consisted of 10 acts that progressed straight to the live shows without performing in Las Vegas.
