Fifty classic years of game show excellence sets the entertainment standard all other shows in the genre should aspire to maintain. With special prizes and addictive games as memorable in and of themselves as the program they’re a part of, “The Price is Right” has found a second home as a special, live Las Vegas show that takes the essential experience and magnifies it with famous guest hosts, larger audiences and an overflowing amount of cash and prizes. All the fun of the original family-friendly show has been preserved, from original set pieces and instantly recognizable contests and games, right down to beloved former host Bob Barker’s gorgeous showgirls.

Contestants will play such classics as Plinko, Hole in One and Cliffhanger before spinning the infamous Big Wheel to determine the wealth of their fates. Random drawings ensure that every last audience member has a chance to win a prize. The end of each show comes with the opportunity to fulfill a minor fantasy of sorts as everyone is invited to have their picture taken spinning The Big Wheel. “The Price is Right, Live!” remains true to its historic roots while living up to the standards of a top-notch Vegas show.

“V – The Ultimate Variety Show” eradicates confusion, dismisses uncertainty and sweeps hard choices under the rug by showcasing such a grand and varied collection of talented performers that one cannot help but have made the right choice when selecting the perfect Vegas show to attend.  Bring your wife, your children, your crazy neighbor and perhaps a very small pet as you experience a fun-scented potpourri of joy-inducing performances.  What performances?  Master jugglers, high-flying aerial acrobats, crazy gauchos, rhythmic gymnasts, clever magicians and a host of other versatile and diverse talents are waiting to create their next family-friendly segment of V.

Your host is Wally Eastwood, a world renowned juggler who appears on multiple occasions during the night, and one-ups himself with each successive act.  By the time you witness his rendition of “Funkytown,” as played by a series of balls tossed with precise accuracy onto a keyboard, you’ll have experienced a Las Vegas show with more flavor than Baskin-Robbins.  Join Eastwood, and a varied group of talented professionals, as they pool their talents into a family-friendly show that’s greater than the considerable sum of its parts.

Legendary duo Penn & Teller’s long history of fusing edgy, unapologetic comedy with elements of masterful magic has won them a rabid fan base and worldwide acclaim as deviant purveyors of the mystical arts.  The appropriately named “Penn and Teller Theater” bears witness to a Las Vegas show that bends the rules, breaks them and then stomps on them a few times for good measure.  The ever mischievous duo celebrate confidence as an art form, showing audiences how a trick is done and then preparing for it as they observe.  What’s truly amazing is that when they pull it off, you probably still won’t see it happen.

Violating every tradition of illusion and trickery is only the beginning of a vegas show that transitions from amusing parlor tricks to some of the most exciting, innovative and often macabre displays of wonder to be seen anywhere on the Strip.  Penn plays the part of the tall, outspoken comedian and narrator, while Teller remains curiously quiet, choosing to express himself in his craft — and doing so quite effectively.  Disappearing objects, material transformations, ingested needles and the caustic comedians’ infamous magic bullet trick top off a Vegas show with a true lack of peers.
