Owner description:
National Touring performers Christian & Katalina are at the Hilton with a funny, surprising, interactive, and intimate Las Vegas style theatrical show called Mind Tripping: A Comedy with a Psychological Twist. Christian & Katalina, the #1 Husband & Wife Comedy Mind Reading Act, take audiences on a series of mind-bending adventures that is pure fun. The show is a psychological thriller that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality. Think Candid Camera meets the Twilight Zone. It is perfect for ages 8 to 108. Shows are Friday and Saturday nights. Some Sunday Matinees. Check the website for complete details. Tickets are $35 Front Row, $25 General Admission, $20 Seniors/Students/Military.

Owner description:
The Indy Speedway, dating back to 1909, is one of the most famous car raceways in the world. Even if you can't join the crowd of 400,000 that comes each May to watch the celebrated Indy 500, stop by for a minibus ride on the speedway. Then visit the museum that traces race car history, including a display of restored speed demons, starting with the first Indy winner in 1911.
