"Love: Cirque du Soleil's Best Show in Vegas One show that you must spend the money to see is Love by Cirque du Soleil at The Mirage. A spectacular show with great music, fantastic stunts and gorgeous visuals that represent the evolution of The Beatles and their music while woven into a story of love, loss and life. Be sure to head to the Revolution Lounge before or after the show for a signature cocktail."

"The King of Pop Cirque du Soleil's newest show in Las Vegas , Michael Jackson ONE, is part tribute, part acrobatic performance, part dance show and all around outstanding. The show features a number of Michael Jackson's best known songs, and together they tell the story of his legacy while also doing justice to the Cirque du Soleil component. Highlights of the show include a hologram of the King of Pop sharing the stage with other dancers, a slack line routine and several performers dancing on the walls in lit-up outfits. Though people who are not fans of Michael Jackson have been hesitant to see the show, fans and non-fans alike seem to be impressed with it. By AFAR Traveler , AFAR Local Expert"

"Comedic Magic at Rio Penn & Teller is one of the longest running shows in Las Vegas , and these guys have been cracking up audiences with their antics at Rio Las Vegas for the entire tenure of their run. Penn & Teller is a comedic magic show featuring the boisterous Penn Jillette and the petite Teller, who doesn't speak a word throughout the performance. There are a few magic shows in Las Vegas, but this is one of the best because there's always something going on that takes audience members by surprise. One of the most interesting tricks happens when Penn has you believing that you're getting an insider's peek on how a particular magic trick works. Don't blink or your sure to miss something when you watch Penn & Teller. By AFAR Traveler , AFAR Local Expert"

"Not Just for 50-Something Women Despite what its name implies, Menopause The Musical doesn't only speak to middle-aged women; anyone who has any contact with these women can relate as well. The show's description sums up Menopause The Musical very well: Four women at a lingerie sale with nothing in common but a black-lace bra AND memory loss, hot flashes, night sweats, not enough sex, too much sex and more! Audience members often find themselves laughing so hard they're in tears, whether they've been through "the change" before, are going through it now or have encountered it somehow, someway on their journey through life.

"Fulfilling a Fantasy Strip clubs and burlesque shows abound in Las Vegas , so if you're looking simply for flesh, the options are everywhere. Fantasy, one of these burlesque shows, rises to the top of the list of good entertainment far beyond the lure of skin. Performers in this show are professional dancers and singers and not in the gig just to take their tops off. In fact, several times throughout the show, skin is revealed, but it's not what grabs your attention; it really is the entertainment value and talent on stage that make this show worthwhile. The theatre in which Fantasy is held is an intimate one, so don't be alarmed if you're sitting mere feet away from the performers. By AFAR Traveler , AFAR Local Expert"

"Part Nightclub, Part Musical, All Baz What happens when you combine the spectacle of Cirque du Soleil and the colorful theatrics of filmmaker Baz Luhrmann with a splash of Las Vegas ' over-the-top magic? Why, you create one of the city's most sensational new shows, of course! For The Record: BAZ, staged in LIGHT Nightclub in Mandalay Bay, weaves together the story lines of Luhrmann's popular films “Romeo + Juliet,” “Moulin Rouge” and “The Great Gatsby,” which, if you think about it, makes a lot of sense given how similar they are. As one song ends, another picks up, and audience members are swept into a 360-degree show in which all performers are star-crossed -- but doomed -- lovers. Those familiar with Luhrmann's work will appreciate how well-crafted the entire production is, but even those who aren't are sure to be moved by the incredible talent of the entire cast. Because BAZ is held in a nightclub setting, the seating is unconventional, so inquire about the best seating options, but regardless of where you sit, the action and venue theatrics take place in all directions. Also, because this is a 21+ venue, the show is too, though it would certainly be appropriate for those of a younger age. After the curtain drops, extend the evening by staying on in the nightclub.

"Family Night at Tournament of Kings Tournament of Kings encompasses all the perfect ingredients for a fun family night out: Action and adventure, horses and knights, cheering and booing, and, best of all, eating dinner with your hands! This medieval-themed arena production has been around for several years, and every night, it's packed with people excited to cheer on a slew of horsemen as they joust, race their horses and battle each other with swords. Everyone is assigned a specific knight to cheer for based on the section you sit in, but the most important thing is that you don't cheer for the bad guys! Tournament of Kings is action packed and fast as performers and their horses move from one stunt to the next. Meanwhile, audience members are treated to a medieval-themed meal -- chicken, bread and other assorted sides -- but they have to eat with their fingers. After all, there was no silverware back in the good ol' days! By AFAR Traveler , AFAR Local Expert"
