No Las Vegas escape would be complete without seeing a few shows. Shows in Las Vegas take entertainment to an entirely new level with tons of glamor, glitz, and some huge headliners. When planning a trip to Las Vegas, be sure to book the shows that you want to see prior to arriving if at all possible since a large number of the top shows are sold out weeks in advance.
Cirque de Soleil (Circus of the Sun) has four permanent shows in Las Vegas with additional shows in planning stages. Their first show, at first projected to run for a short time, was so popular that it was extended permanently. Cirque de Soleil is based in Quebec, Canada and initially began with a couple of street performers. It is a circus without animals and the shows in Las Vegas do not use a circus tent. The shows' main performers are amazing acrobats whose performances are beyond belief. After attending one of the Cirque De Soleil shows in Vegas you may just start to believe people can really fly.
"O", one of the Cirque de Soleil shows, can be found at the Bellagio. This incredible production not only includes acrobats but also includes amazing synchronized swimmers. The stage "magically" converts into a swimming pool and then back to a solid stage! Actually observing this spectacle is the only way to fully understand the show's "wow" factor. There are fire eaters and clowns in the mix at "O" as well. This truly unique production provides an exceptional good time for the whole family.
Mystere, another Cirque de Soleil show, can be seen at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino. Recognized eight times as "Best Production Show" by the Las Vegas Review-Journal newspaper, Mystere has an incredibly talented cast of 72 performers featuring musicians, singers, dancers and champion-caliber acrobats. The inspiring imagery is mesmerizing, the costumes are vibrant and the music is simply unparalleled. The actors who portray birds seem to actually grow plumage right before your eyes. This is the show that all other Cirque de Soleil productions are compared to.
Penn & Teller now perform in their own theatre at the Rio Hotel and Casino. This pair of magicians/comedians/professional hucksters has been amazing audiences together for over 30 years. They have been signed to a continuing contract with the Rio. Penn Gillette declares "This is not your typical Las Vegas show," at the start of the show, and then, for the next 90 minutes, they support that declaration with pure enjoyment. The show combines acts from many of their earlier events with newly prepared material that is specially designed for their new Las Vegas home. Even when the tricks are explained, the smoothness, grace, and speed with which the illusions are executed is mind boggling.
Criss Angel performs at the Luxor Las Vegas. This show goes well beyond traditional magic, it is downright phenomenal. You might have seen Criss Angel on his television series, Criss Angel: Mindfreak. After experiencing this show don't be shocked if you walk out believing that magic is real. This show engrosses the audience. Young and old alike will be astounded by this magical extravaganza.
Rita Rudner has found a new home in Las Vegas at Harrah's and puts on a hilarious comedy show. Rita's secret comedy weapon is a rapier-like wit wrapped up in a soft-spoken delivery that sneaks up on, and then, like a stealth fighter, strikes your funny bone. She captivates audiences with her clever observations, meticulous timing and Gracie Allen-like deadpan style. With her gentle voice, porcelain skin and big, innocent looking blue eyes, Rita shatters the stereotype of brassy, tough comediennes through poise, intelligence, and sophistication.
