Vegas Shows....

[Purplegrasshopper]

Here are my recommendations being a local:

• Magic - Penn & Teller or if you want a more traditional magic show, go with Lance Burton or David Copperfield
• Comedy - Terry Fator is great; Wayne Brady is always funny; Jay Leno is often in town; of course, there are always the comedy clubs which are hit or miss depending on the acts, I recommend Riviera Comedy Club
• Stage Production - My top 5 are:

  1. KA
  2. Blue Man Group
  3. Mystere
  4. O
  5. LOVE (if you like the Beatles, this one would probably move up the list)

• Headliners - Cher puts on a great show or check out Barry Manilow or Bette Midler if you like classics. Also, pretty much every single performer comes through Vegas, so check Ticketmaster to see what bands/artists will be here during your visit
• Musicals - Jersey Boys is fantastic, but Lion King is absolutely phenomenal; check out Phantom if you want a classic
• Tribute - Legends in Concert is the standard, but if you like the Beatles, check out Fab Four Live; I wasn't that impressed with American Superstars
• Dinner Show - Tournament of Kings
• Adult - There are lots in this category. I actually enjoyed Zumanity (get there early!), but if you want the old school Vegas experience, go to Jubilee. I've heard fair reviews from Peepshow and Bite, but haven't seen them.
• Other - The "V" Variety Show is cheap and depending on what acts they have lined up, can be a good show. Also recommend the Price is Right if you're into that kinda thing.
