The quintet performed "Quit Playing Games With My Heart," "Back To Your Heart," "The Call" and "I Want It That Way," among other Backstreet classic.
They ended the performance, which included four costume changes, according to Entertainment Weekly, with an encore performance of one of their biggest hits, "Everybody."
After their first performance, the band took to social media to thank fans for their support.
"Night one of #BSBVegas down! Thanks to everyone who got a hall pass to come get down with us," they wrote.
Backstreet Boys will perform in Las Vegas through July 1.
