Las Vegas Shows

Aladdin

“Steve Wyrick”
Wyrick mixes classic magic with adrenaline-pumping, daredevil stunts, having made his mark by performing death-defying feats on national television and for audiences around the globe. Now he brings his must-see magic to the Aladdin.

In the past, Wyrick has amazed audiences with his "Blades of Death Challenge," where he disappeared on stage, then suddenly reappeared over the audience dangling from a rope attached to a full-sized helicopter. In another illusion, he walked through the blades of a spinning 747 turbine engine.

In 2000, Wyrick was named "Magician of the Year" by the International Magicians' Society.

“V” The Ultimate Variety Show
V The Ultimate Variety Show is an astounding, energetic and creative new concept that will change the way Las Vegas entertains. Like the hit TV show "30 Seconds to Fame," V features high energy, out-of- this-world acts that work the crowd into a frenzy. It's the one show that has it all! There is nothing like it in Las Vegas. With an all-star cast of the best variety acts in the world, this show is fun for families, international tourists and anyone in the mood for an outrageously good time.

“Stripper 101 ”
Striptease dance studios are popping up across America, but Stripper 101 is the first to offer ladies the chance to groove in the midst of their shopping spree. Celebrities such as Teri Hatcher, Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra and Kelly Ripa have all caught on to the striptease craze. Striptease cardio has even been featured on "Oprah." There is definitely no better place than Las Vegas to further the wild popularity of exotic dance classes.

Stripper 101 offers the ultimate Las Vegas experience for locals and tourists. The classes are a great way for ladies to top off a wild bachelorette weekend and learn some moves to take back home.

“The Fab Four ”
This incredible stage show includes three costume changes representing every era of The Beatles ever-changing career. Why else would the prestigious Hollywood Bowl ask The Fab Four to open their box office season not once, but twice. The Fab Four has the distinct privilege of being the only Beatles tribute to perform on the same bill with Beatles producer Sir George Martin at the Bowl`s 1999 opening night gala. In May 2001, The Fab Four delighted 8,000 screaming fans by recreating The Beatles 1964 and `65 concerts, appearing on the same stage as John, Paul George and Ringo did.

“Nathan Burton ” Comedy Magic
Looking for an early afternoon extravaganza of magical illusions, entertaining
dance and comedic stylings that kids and adults can enjoy together?

Well then, Nathan Burton is your man. Your magic man, that is…

Nathan Burton is the wunderkind of wizardry in Vegas. He made his name with
the extravagant "7 Days and 7 Showgirls" stunt in which he was locked in a
suspended, transparent crate with some colorfully-costumed accomplices.

Burton is also known from gigs at "V—The Ultimate Variety Show" and "Buck Wild."
He has also been showcased on E! Network's "The Entertainer" and "World's Greatest Magic" on NBC.

Now, in the V Theater inside the Desert Passage Mall, the show is all Nathan Burton, all the time -- plus a few lovely showgirls and a sidekick, of course.

Bally’s

“Don Arden’s Jubilee”
Amidst the glitz, you'll find a cast of almost 100 performers, including acrobats, aerialists, and a bounty of dancers who continue to be voted Vegas' "Best Showgirls" by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. And while memorable musical numbers celebrate historical pairings from Samson and Delilah to Fred and Ginger, it's such set pieces as the effects-laden sinking of the Titanic that keep audiences returning to this Bally's staple. It's not just any topless revue that can boast a weekly budget for 4,200 pounds of dry ice and 60 pounds of explosives, so experience for yourself the show critics hail as the "Best of Las Vegas."

Bellagio

“O”
Celebrating the mystery (and sometimes misery) that is life - "O" shocks you with its basic component, plunging viewers headfirst into a pool of raw pleasure, pain and energy that stirs you up in its turbulent brew, breathlessly plucks you out and leaves you shivering on the sidelines.

Caesar’s Palace

“Celine Dion-A New Day”
A NEW DAY... featuring Celine Dion is a one-of-a kind show featuring a cast of 58 dancers, musicians, characters, and other performers. It combines song, performance art, theatrical innovation, and state-of-the-art technology.

Excalibur

“Tournament of Kings dinner show”
This isn't your traditional dinner theater. Located in Excalibur's expansive Showroom, the Tournament of Kings medieval feast features a costumed cast of 100 performers parading before dining spectators, engaging in jousting competitions, and locking swords in well-choreographed combat. Add to that a dash of dragons and a pinch of fire wizards, and you've got the makings for a memorable meal. A rip-roaring spectacular for the whole family, the Tournament of Kings doesn't allow its audiences to passively observe. It insists diners cheer loudly for their brave warriors and revel in the fun of the fork-less period. That's right; all food-no matter how messy-is to be eaten with your bare hands. Just try not to enjoy yourself as you break every rule of etiquette. With this much fun to be had, the Tournament of Kings is a high priority in many families' Las Vegas adventures. Even with two daily dinner performances, be aware that this show draws a crowd; reservations are strongly recommended.

“Thunder From Down Under”
The hard-bodied knights of Excalibur shed their armor and crank up the sex appeal for a naughty night in Merlin's Theater. Actually, this all-male, Australian revue has been tantalizing crowds the world over and only recently arrived on the Strip to take Excalibur audiences' collective breath away. But since that arrival, this Thunder has taken the city by storm. Friday through Wednesday, these handsome dancers shake their naturally firm assets up and down two showroom aisles to a soundtrack of bumping, body-rocking beats. And if you don't like a costume you see - don't worry; it won't be on for long. Call them "chiseled hunks" or "Aussie Adonises," but whatever you do, do it loudly; these gents' fans have a tendency to scream. And who can blame them? It's hard not to enjoy watching nice young men engage in some good, not-so-clean fun... especially when you know they'll be posing for pictures after the show.

“Louie Anderson”
Louie Anderson has been selling out Las Vegas showrooms for nearly a quarter of a century, turning 1,000-plus-seat theatres into an intimate setting where audience members feel like they are being entertained in his living room. Now, Anderson has brought his larger-than-life persona to the Excalibur Hotel & Casino for an indefinite run.

"Actors go to Broadway, movie stars go to Hollywood and comedians go to Vegas," said Anderson. Produced by Adam Steck, “Louie: Larger Than Life” will feature Anderson’s hilarious stories and edgy material created only for the Vegas crowds.

Comedy Central recently named Anderson “One of 100 Greatest Stand-Up Comedians of All Time.” The multi-talented comedian/actor’s resume includes hosting the syndicated hit series, Family Feud, and being the executive producer and creator of the two-time Emmy Award winner animated series on FOX, Life With Louie. He has starred in his own HBO and Showtime comedy specials and has been a frequent guest of late night talk shows. He also has guest starred on such popular sitcoms as Scrubs and Grace Under Fire, dramas including Touched by an Angel and Chicago Hope and has made memorable featured roles in films such as “Coming to America” opposite Eddie Murphy.

Flamingo

George Wallace

Wallace was nominated five straight years for the American Comedy Awards "Best Stand-Up Comedian," winning the honor in 1995. He's been selling out shows ever since. Drawing heavily on the vibe he feels from an audience, Wallace is a master of tailoring his act to a moment, not just a city or a room, pulling out the right joke at just the right time. During his act, Wallace shines his astute spotlight on the foibles of everyday life.

“The Second City”
Quick... say something funny. If only it were as easy as The Second City players make it appear. The show that inspired and helped cast "Saturday Night Live" while turning improvisation into an art form plays twice nightly at the Flamingo. Having started in a tiny theater in Chicago, "The Second City" quickly grew to other locations and into one of the top names in live, comedic entertainment. By unleashing such illustrious alumni as John Belushi, Mike Myers, Joan Rivers, Dan Aykroyd, and Bill Murray, "The Second City" has played no small part in forming our collective sense of humor. And their reign is far from over; look no further than the show-stealers in the Flamingo's troupe. Having toured the world over, this group of talented performers now calls Las Vegas home. And thanks to its intimate seating, Bugsy's Celebrity Theatre is the perfect venue for the cast's insightful humor and sketches improvised from audience members' suggestions.

Greek Isles

“Tribute to Frank, Sammy, and Dean”
The Sands may be history, but the Rat Pack's legacy lives on at the Greek Isles. Revisit the heyday of swingin', boozin', lovin', and losin' in a music-filled tribute to the undisputed kings of the cocktail set.

Luxor

“ Fantasy”
Now steaming up the Pharaoh's Theater is a strictly adult show known for its vivacious women who live out their sensual fantasies through exotic dance. The show's bevy of stunning beauties is complemented by only two men, both of whom seem ready and willing to dive into the seductive situations. And who could blame them? A naughty-but-nice dream come true, Midnight Fantasy is performed every night but Monday, because, when you're involved in something this hot, you have to rest sometime.

“Carrot Top”
When Carrot Top takes the stage in front of his endless number of trunks, he turns the audience into Pandora, curious for what`s inside. But no evil spills out from these boxes -- only props -- the contents of Carrot Top`s wild imagination.

The red-haired comedian turns the stage into a one-man circus, sharing the creative contents as a video screen behind him and well-timed music punctuate his every thought. As the ringleader frenetically runs back and forth on stage, the audience is left wondering what he`ll be pulling out and what he`ll think of next. From a variety of microphones -- including Whitney Houston`s, which is attached to a bong, to Rush Limbaugh`s, which easily dispenses pills -- no subject is sacred to the AT&T pitchman.

MGM

“La Femme”
Direct from the original Crazy Horse in Paris, a location famous for celebrating beautiful women and the art of the nude, comes "La Femme," an adults-only exploration of sensuality. Featuring 12 stunning performers, all ballet-trained members of the original Crazy Horse dance troupe, "La Femme" utilizes light effects and film projections to bathe the dancers' bodies in a multitude of colors and patterns. It's no wonder this cultural phenomenon has drawn international celebrities for over 50 years in Paris and continues to draw crowds on the Strip.

Mandalay Bay

“Mamma Mia!”
The music first won fans on disco-era dance floors. Twenty years later, this surprise smash hit captured hearts on its way to becoming the toast of Broadway. "Mamma Mia!" brings the songs of Abba to life in three remarkable love stories. One tells the tale of a young girl finding true romance, another unfolds as a mother courageously confronts her past, and the third occurs nightly, as audiences fall in love with this heart-warming show each time the curtain goes up. The outrageous production incorporates over 20 of Abba's greatest hits, including "Take a Chance on Me," "Dancing Queen," and of course, "Mamma Mia."

Monte Carlo

“Lance Burton: Master Magician”
From sleight-of-hand tricks to grand illusions, suspending disbelief is Lance Burton's forte. The world champion magician immerses audiences in his world- a world where gloves turn to doves and burning candles appear in his hands. Nationally recognized as one of the world's greatest prestidigitators U.S. News and World Report recently called Burton "Magic's hottest new star."

New York New York

“Zumanity, Another Side of Cirque Du Soleil”
From the slightly askew minds responsible for O at Bellagio and Mystere at Treasure Island, "Zumanity" is billed as an "exploration of the hidden forces behind desire, and a celebration of human diversity." Translation: lots of flesh and fantasy are to be found in this seductive production. "Zumanity," at New York-New York, features an exploration of the beauty of human sexuality, eroticism, love, and emotion. This show is intended for a more mature audience, so no one under 18 will be permitted. With its erotic themes, the intention of the show is clearly to provoke as well as entertain, and as the show's producers volunteer, "If you are easily offended, this show may not be for you." In other words, let the voyeur beware!

Paris Las Vegas

“Anthony Cools - Raw and Uncensored”
Anthony Cools - Raw and Uncensored, welcomes audiences to his aptly named theater: The Anthony Cools Experience, where underwear becomes outerwear and audiences` inhibitions are checked at the door. With endorsements by everyone from Don Rickles to Tommy Smothers, Cools delivers a night of "good, clean, dirty fun," where the charismatic Canadian acts as puppet master and audience volunteers are the stars.

Through the power of hypnotism, volunteers are turned into everything from a full orchestra playing imaginary instruments to actors auditioning for a role in a porn flick.

Rio

“Chippendales, The Show”
For women who love their men in bow ties and little else, the Theatre at Club Rio presents "Chippendales, The Show." Comprised of 12 chiseled dancers, this all-male revue was designed exclusively for women based on the fantasies they may be too shy to voice. Six nights a week, this sensuous and fast-paced performance blends body-rocking music, sultry dance moves, and more than a little skin to delight the often raucous audiences. Give in to the temptation and spend a ladies' night out at "Chippendales, The Show."

Penn and Teller
Penn's all talk, and Teller walks the walk; together, they make quite a team. Some call them the "bad boys of magic." Others say they're the "anti-Copperfields." And Lou Reed dubbed them "la creme de la cool." But no matter how you slice it - and something will inevitably get sliced - a Penn & Teller show is one of the wickedest and most intelligent magic acts you'll ever see. Their twisted, funny, irreverent take on magic is sure to make your troubles vanish into thin air.

Ronn Lucas
At the start of his show, Ronn Lucas asks the audience to remember one seemingly obvious thing: That his dummies aren't real.

It's something the audience remembers, if only for a moment.

That's because, as hard as you try, you can't look past the tender-loving care fashioned into these lifelike puppets. When they speak, it's with speech characteristic of a normal teenager or cowboy. When their limbs and facial features move, it's with the mobility of a human. And when they converse with Lucas, you imagine they're sitting there themselves.

They just happen to be sitting on Lucas' arm.

 

“Tony ‘n’ Tina’s Wedding”

Riviera

“An Evening at La Cage”
For decades, the "La Cage" brand of entertainment has exhilarated audiences worldwide. So when it came time to present "An Evening at La Cage" in Las Vegas, there were some pretty big heels to fill. Enter Frank Marino. In the tradition of the famous Parisian cabaret, Mr. Marino transforms himself into Joan Rivers to lead a talented group of the world's most accomplished female impersonators in an evening of song, dance, and bawdy humor. With two performances nightly, six days a week (dark Tuesday), "An Evening at La Cage" is sure to entertain.

“American Storm”
Not just a feast of flesh, "American Storm" is also an educational experience. Throughout the performance, seven sexy dancers give a highly charged audience of women lessons in seduction, the art of striptease, and most importantly, American history. But unlike your high school history class, this is a lesson that will never bore you.

Discovered by Australia's "Thunder From Down Under" creator Billy Cross and VH1's Rachel Perry, the men competed with thousands on the reality television series, "StripSearch," for seven spots in the troupe. And after just a few minutes into the show, you'll see why these seven made the final cut.

“Crazy Girls”
It takes a special show to be called Las Vegas' "sexiest topless revue," and "Crazy Girls Fantasy Revue" fits that bill. With song and dance numbers featuring some of the city's most beautiful women and comedy performed by Joe Trammel, "Crazy Girls" packs all the punch you could hope for in a Las Vegas show.

Sahara

“Amazing Johnathan”
If some of your favorite comedies include the likes of "Dumb and Dumber," "Tommy Boy," "There's Something About Mary" and "Planes, Trains and Automobiles," then Amazing Johnathan's humor is right up your alley. Dubbed the "Freddy Krueger of Comedy," Amazing Johnathan gives new meaning to politically incorrect and gives the audience numerous ways to go home and torture their friends.

The small, cozy showroom is not theater-style, and some seats don't offer the best view, but there are advantages and disadvantages to sitting in the front. You can see better, but you risk becoming fresh meat for Johnathan's tenderizing tricks. Before the show starts, a screen in the center of the stage shows clips from the above-mentioned movies, letting the audience know what they're in for.

"The Scintas"

Made up of brothers Joey and Frankie, sister Chrissi, and honorary brother Pete, The Scintas combine music, comedy, and impressions with heartfelt stories about growing up in the hilarious Scinta household.

Wynn

“Le Réve ”
Le Réve, French for The Dream, truly is a small collection of imperfect dreams. This artful, acrobatic show by Franco Dragone, Cirque du Soleials former creative director, plays out in a pool of water instead of a stage.

The theater is designed in the round with no seat further away than 42 feet from the stage. Center stage features concentric circular bodies of water, bridged on three sides by platforms leading to tunnels beneath the stands. A massive globe hangs above the water. Three giant clocks surrounding the stage conceal the live band, which provides the shows soundtrack. The domed ceiling is ringed with a bank of digital windows which display banks of unmoving classical statuary.

By the time Le Réve begins, when water, fire and smoke turn the gentle pools into baptismal fonts for new characters, you are so engaged in the dream that when an animatronic tree and an enigmatic figure rise from the water, you may question how a performer just appeared from an imppossibly deep pool of water without ever stepping into it.

Off The Strip
