Vegas Entertainment!?

Question

Any recommendations on shows or comedians I should see??

Answer 1

I go to Vegas two to three times a year - I love the shows.

Without question, "O" is the most fantastic show you will ever see. I've seen every Cirque show except for La Nouba in Disney Orlando, and nothing comes close.

The show itself is "indescribable" and the cast performs the most unbelievable feats on land, in the air and in the water. The French word for water is "eau", pronounced "O", hence the name of the show. Go "O", you will not regret that decision.

People loved Celine Dion - just not my cup of tea. The new Beatles/Cirque show, "Love" is at the Mirage. I plan on seeing that on my next visit - it's gotten good reviews. As for a suggestion for another show, Spamalot has gotten rave reviews, Mama Mia is great, and Danny Gans is superb. Any one of those would make your night. Blue Man at the Venetian is very unique, and the Sintas at the Rio is a very good family oriented show. If you like magic – Lance Burton is the best. I saw Dirk Arthur at the Tropicana on my last visit – really a class “B” act!

For fun we went to see the Neil Diamond tribute show at the Riviera - Jay White, the fellow that does Neil, is nothing less than perfect! His appearance, voice, clothes and moves ARE Neil Diamond. I thought that I was at a Neil Diamond concert. The room is rather small, maybe 200 people in the audience. We had a ball. You can get half-price tickets for this and many other shows at ticket outlets up-and-down the strip. The outlets are called "Tickets 4 Tonight" and they go on sale about 11:00 AM (first-come-first-served) for that night's performances only.

Another good source for reliable discounts are the books (such as “What’s on in Las Vegas” or “Las Vegas 24/7”) that are distributed in most hotels. The also give good info on where to eat and what to see. They’re really good little pocket guides!

For advance info on the shows during your stay, a great resourse is visitlasvegas.com.

The best free show is the Fountains at Bellagio - they perform every 15 minutes after dark - just spectacular. The Siren’s of TI show at Treasure Island is also good Other free attractions of note are the Lion Habitat at MGM, the Volcano and the White Tigers at Mirage, and the fountains inside the Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace. If your going downtown, the Fremont Street Experience is truly on-of-a kind, and don’t pass up the ’world famous’ $.99 shrimp cocktail at the Golden Gate Hotel! Head over to the Rio (with free transportation from Harrah’s) to see the Carnival in the Sky.

I strongly suggest that you take a ½ day away from the strip and go to Hoover Dam. That is quite a sight! There are many tour companies to chose from that will pick you up right at your hotel.

Hope this helped.

Answer 2

Almost any of the Cirque shows are worth it. (The only one I've heard anything that wasn't a rave review about was Zumanity, I've heard it was vulgar.) I've seen Mystere and O. Blue Man Group is also worth it. Penn and Teller is supposed to be an awesome show as well - I haven't seen it because it was sold out every night I was in town.
If you like ballroom dancing, there's a show at the Golden Nugget, which is downtown, called Simply Ballroom. We had fourth row seats and paid $45 a ticket. However, it's a short show - only an hour and a half tops, so I would do it as a matinee.

Answer 3

I love magic shows, and Las Vegas has 13 of them. World's Greatest Magic and Xtreme Magic are probably the best. If you can afford it O or Mystere by Circue Du Soleil are also very good.

Answer 4

one person you need to see for sure is ANTHONY COOLS at the paris hotel and casino. funniest d*** thing i have ever seen. my husband got hypnotized then they sell it on video after the show so you can show him what an a** he was.
