Have been to Vegas numerous times and finally decided to check out Penn & Teller. Was quite impressed with many of their tricks and they did keep me entertained for the most part. Have seen better shows, but as long as your getting a discount on your ticket I'd recommend it (I wouldn't have been thrilled to pay full price).

The magic was average, too much personal opinion and social/political commentary. See something else.

They are constantly changing the material for this show and keeping it fresh. I've never really been in to magic, but this show will definitely have you wondering 'how'd they do that?' It's actually an okay show for slightly older kids. A few curse words here and there, but nothing like the cable show they have. Penn & Teller are... More

I liked the show....wasn't exactly what I expected, but we got our tickets through Tix4Tonite that day and ended up getting a free upgrade when we went to pick up our tickets. I would say the whole Tix for Tonight experience wasn't the best. The lady was rude and we found out after we purchased the tickets that what we... More

... and this is perhaps the best magic show I've seen in a long long time. Yes, a little bit of Penn goes a long way, but in terms of sheer solid MAGIC, this show delivers without the flashy distraction. I love dance shows and theatrical wizardry, but I was looking for some good, creative, solid magic and that's exactly... More

Most magic shows are over-dramatic and cheesy. Not Penn & Teller's show at The Rio, which is a fun, darkly funny, and sophisticated experience with a respect for old school entertainment and no flash and dazzle BS. These guys have been performing together for decades and have become showbiz icons for a reason. An off-kilter must see.

For our last evening, we decided to book Penn and Teller - one of the few headline shows we hadn't got around to seeing in Vegas over the years. It would have been unfair to compare with the other high budget, and quite spectacular, shows we saw this time around so we agreed on lining it up against all the... More

A lot of wasted time in this show with a lot of preaching about his political views and such even though a lot of th audience isnt even american. Some of the allusions were cool but again it would be easy to fall asleep for about 75% of the show.

They will take photos and sign autographs after the show. You are welcome onstage before the performance. Loved the show.
