After a brief theater show, the audience heads out on the town for a driving tour of ghastly hotspots around the city. Stories of suicides and supposed hauntings based on documented accounts are told by a "mortician" tour guide. For more information, check out the Haunted Vegas Tours website.

From the Greek Isles site:

This spirited and spooky ghost tour will take you to the haunting grounds of Bugsy Siegel, Liberace, Redd Foxx and Elvis. Robert Allen, creator of Haunted Vegas Tours now makes it possible to visit such eerie sites by offering a guided Tour and Show, featuring Sin City's Darkest Ghostly Secrets.

According to Allen, who consulted with Tim Cridland, a paranormal historian and Janice Oberding, author of the book "Haunted Nevada," there are more than 21 places where paranormal activity has been documented in Las Vegas.

The tour covers such sites as the "Motel of Death," where numerous celebrity deaths have occurred and the former home of a Las Vegas legend where his ghost continues to haunt despite numerous attempts to exorcise it.

Description:
Menopause The Musical is a true phenomenon; the Las Vegas production is one of 11 permanent shows in the US that have sprung out of a show that was originally performed in 2001 to an Orlando, FL theater that seated only 76. Its focus on a common theme has made it a sell-out hit everywhere it has played, including the Las Vegas Hilton.

From the Las Vegas Hilton site:

Inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, Writer/Producer Jeanie Linders created the show as a celebration of women who are on the brink of, in the middle of, or have survived "The Change." Since its first performance, the show has evolved as a "grassroots" movement of women who deal with life after 40 and all the challenges that result in the mental, physical and spiritual freedom of the post-World War II baby boomer generation.

According to The New York Times, "[Menopause The Musical] has no trouble winning over its audience...because elsewhere the subject is almost never treated with humor from the woman's point of view."

Description:
Fashionistas, based on an adult film, tells the tale of a love triangle in the fashion industry. Although this isn't a topless revue, there are plenty of erotic dance moves and and steamy simulated sex scenes which reference the show's roots in the adult film industry. Be sure to check out the song list, video clips, and more at the Fashionistas website.

From the Fashionistas website:

The Fashionistas is a gender-blending erotic extravaganza and a unique entertainment option never before seen on the Las Vegas Strip. With what critics call a "muscular and aggressive" staging technique, a hard-driving soundtrack, imaginative and unique costumes, and a humorous and sly story line, the Fashionistas pushes the envelope of human form, fashion and spectacle in high style.

Utilizing music from Evanescence, Madonna, Tool, Lords of Acid, Crystal Method, and Led Zeppelin, the story is told in dance through the mood and words of each song, as well as through the use of dramatic images projected on large video screens.

Description:
Husband and wife team Marty Allen and Karon Kate Blackwell combine the comedic talents of Allen ('Ed Sullivan Show', 'Hollywood Squares') with the music of Blackwell, an accomplished singer and pianist.

From the Gold Coast site:

Comedian Marty Allen and singer, songwriter and straight woman Karon Kate are still one of the best comedy/straight routines in the entertainment industry. When you see the show, you will see that he is the Marty Allen of 40 years ago.

One of the reasons for the success of their show is its spontaneity. "Karon has no idea each show what I'm going to say or do. Even the parts that I write, I try to keep fresh. I constantly add new lines so the routines aren't the same," says Marty.

One of Karon's most popular songs is Wedding Wows. It became so popular, she recorded an album and included the song. Her first album, titled simply Karon Kate Blackwell, included Wedding Wows and several familiar songs such as ode To Billie Joe and God Bless The U.S.A. One single, I Can't Laugh was a Cashbox 'pick of the week' selection in August 1994.

Both Marty and Karon say that when they are on stage, they don't think about the fact that they are married. Rather, they just focus on each other's talents. There's a natural dynamic and chemistry whey they perform. Just what keeps Marty going at 85 years old? Duracell batteries, says Karon.

Description:

From Sahara--

Soon after the Beatles' very first appearance in America on the Ed Sullivan show, the Sahara invited the group to Las Vegas for their only concert appearance in Las Vegas. Record-breaking crowds packed the audience and fans waited outside the Sahara Hotel to catch a glimpse of John, Paul, George, and Ringo. The group slept in room 2344, now the most requested suite at the hotel. Photos from their visit are displayed throughout the casino.

Now you can see Fab Four Mania perform many of the Beatles' greatest hits, including note-perfect live renditions of:

* "I Want to Hold Your Hand"
* "I Saw Her Standing There"
* "Help!"
* "Yesterday"
* And music from the Rubber Soul and Revolver albums.

With quick costume changes and precise attention to musical detail, the group leads the audience through the British Invasion and takes you from the psychedelic 60s, with songs from Sergeant Pepper and the Magical Mystery Tour albums, through the "Summer of Love" era with unforgettable music from "Yellow Submarine" and "Let It Be."

The Fab Four don't merely do impressions of John, Paul, George and Ringo. They perform and sing live renditions of every song with such uncanny perfection. You will be astounded it isn't a recording!

He's one of the most highly acclaimed illusionists in the world, and his show with bigger than life illusions is one of the hippest and hottest on the Las Vegas strip.

To find out more about this amazing performer, click here to visit his website.

From the Miracle Mile Shops website:

Steve Wyrick pulls out all the stops for this one-of-a-kind mega-illusion magic experience. Wyrick's new show is faster-paced, more edgy and uncut, yet has the quality production value of a Broadway performance. Wyrick performs some of the most imaginative and mind-blowing illusions anywhere including making a Lear Jet 35 and AS 350 helicopter appear and a West Coast Chopper disappear into mid-air. Wyrick also incorporates a H2 Hummer into the spellbinding experience. His signature, larger- than-life illusions headline, but it is Wyrick's personal touches that make the show truly unique, allowing audience members to experience both the largest and smallest magic in one unforgettable performance. The total production costs for the show are more than $10 million dollars.

Description:
Penn and Teller have been working together for over 30 years, fine-tuning their uniquely twisted brand of humor into a 90-minute magic show that's a hit in Vegas.

From the Rio site:

Known for their outrageous blending of comedy and magic, that often skewers the genre of traditional magic, Penn & Teller´s live show has been a hit on Broadway and around the country and now has a permanent home in Las Vegas right here at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino!

Edgy, provocative and hilarious, this iconoclastic pair's live show on any given night can involve knives, guns, a fire-eating showgirl and a duck. Known as the "Bad Boys of Magic," for supposedly revealing the secrets to their tricks, they may show you how it´s done, but they still manage to leave you startled.

Their weekly hit Showtime series, "Penn & Teller: BS!" as well as their Emmy-winning network specials and their legendary appearances on "The Late Show with David Letterman and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," had Entertainment Weekly name them two of the funniest comedians alive.

Description:
Max Bialystock, Leo Bloom, and their never-should-have-been hit "Springtime For Hitler" make the jump from Broadway to the Strip as Mel Brooks' hit musical The Producers comes to Las Vegas.

From the Paris Las Vegas site:

The Producers is now open at Paris Las Vegas! See the Mel Brooks musical comedy that won more awards than any show in history, with the biggest sets, costumes and laughs.

The Producers will feature David Hasselhoff in the role of the outrageously flamboyant Roger DeBris. Best known for his roles in Knight Rider and Baywatch, Hasselhoff has also had a successful recording career and acclaimed stage performances in Chicago and Jekyll & Hyde.

The Producers will also star Brad Oscar as scheming, down-on-his-luck Max Bialystock. Oscar has previously played this role on Broadway and on London's West End, and in fact, has played Max in over 1100 performances - more than anyone else in the show's history. He's also appeared on Broadway in Aspects of Love, Jekyll and Hyde and Forbidden Broadway.

Also reprising their roles from the Broadway and West End productions of The Producers are Larry Raben as Leo Bloom and the lovely Leigh Zimmerman as Ulla.

From the Caesars Palace site:

Caesars Palace is proud to welcome its newest diva: The Divine Miss M, Bette Midler! Only a venue like The Colosseum is spectacular enough to contain this powerhouse performer, in what promises to be the biggest, most imaginative show she's ever done.

Las Vegas may never be the same after the arrival of Bette Midler, winner of four GRAMMY® awards, an Emmy and a Tony. Her incomparable sense of humor and extensive song catalog (which includes four chart-topping #1 singles) have earned her staying power and a devoted fan base while lesser talents have come and gone.

Don't miss Midler and her fabulous "Kiss My Brass" section in a Vegas-themed show featuring plenty of girls, gags and guffaws. This is why they call her "Divine."

Description:
If your father smells of elderberries, you know what to do with the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, and you suspect Sir Lancelot is gay, Monty Python's Spamalot is the show for you.

From the Monty Python's Spamalot site:

Sure to be the funniest show in Las Vegas, Monty Python's SPAMALOT tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and their quest for the Holy Grail. The live, 90-minute show is lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and The Holy Grail and features chorus lines of lusty maidens, dancing divas, killer rabbits, and the only legless knight appearing on The Strip.

John O'Hurley from "Seinfeld" and "Dancing with the Stars" fame stars as King Arthur.

Monty Python's SPAMALOT opened in New York and London to rave reviews from
audiences and critics alike. The London Sunday Times said SPAMALOT "raises silliness to an art form - glorious, irresistible silliness!"

Winner of the prestigious Tony Award for Best New Musical, SPAMALOT is written by
Eric Idle (Monty Python). The Grammy Award-winning musical score and lyrics were
created by Eric Idle and John Du Prez (pronounced Doo Pray). The show is directed by Mike Nichols.

Description:

From Paris--

From the wicked mind of producer Anthony Cools comes the sexiest topless show in Las Vegas: Ooh La La. The cast of five gorgeous dancers will leave jaws dropped and spirits raised as they display their talents - and nearly everything else.

And make no mistake about it - these girls have talents far beyond their physical endowments. They are singers, dancers, aerialists, magicians and comedians. There's no filler in this fast-paced show - just gorgeous women performing in acts ranging from sexy stripteases and comic routines to gun twirling and one-handed pushups. Each lovely lady gets her own featured solo spot, and they'll all blow you away. There's even a fashion show featuring a clothing line created exclusively for Ooh La La.

The men in the audience will appreciate the sex appeal of the dancers, while women will get a kick out of the unique performances. There's something for everybody - as the sexy stars of the show each have a different style, look and personality. They do have one thing in common - uncommon beauty.

From the Miracle Mile Shops website:

Stripper 101 offers the ultimate Las Vegas experience for locals and tourists. The class covers more than 25 sexy floor moves. Actual exotic dance moves used in Las Vegas gentleman's clubs are taught, as well as choreography with boas, chairs and poles! During the class each student will have the chance to master the Sin City stripper pole. During all the fun, women won't even notice they are burning an average of 400 to 500 calories per hour. At the completion of the class each student receives a certificate establishing them as a "genuine Las Vegas stripper."

Description:
Stomp Out Loud, the percussionist dream show, is now ongoing at Planet Hollywood. With nothing more than trash cans, pizza boxes, car keys, and other mundane objects, the energetic performers are able to create interesting tribal rhythms that are guaranteed to have the audience moving in their chairs. There is even an interactive area where the audience can show off their musical talent with the same objects used in the show - a great hands-on experience for kids.

From the Planet Hollywood site:

From the original creators of international sensation STOMP, comes STOMP OUT LOUD. With additional sequences created especially for The Showroom, STOMP OUT LOUD is a journey through sound, a celebration of the everyday and a comic interplay of characters wordlessly communicating through dance and drum.

Description:
Andrew Lloyd Webber's famous Broadway show has been redesigned for Las Vegas audiences, and the result was named the best Vegas show of 2006 by the Review-Journal.

From the Phantom - The Vegas Specatcular site:

Experience the world's most recognized musical theatre masterpiece, The Phantom of the Opera, as you've never seen it before. The Venetian Resort • Hotel • Casino is home to "Phantom - The Las Vegas Spectacular," an all-new production of the most influential musical of all time.

Phantom at The Venetian reunites Andrew Lloyd Webber, director Hal Prince, choreographer Gillian Lynne and others from the show's original creative team, who together reconceived their show into a 95-minute spectacular, including each and every song from the original production. From the moment you enter the magnificent custom-built theatre, you find yourself in the famed Paris Opera House immediately entranced in the Phantom's world.

By incorporating special effects and enhancements made possible today by modern technology into the timeless music and story of Phantom, new audiences and loyal fans alike will be awed by and all-new Phantom.

In anticipation of opening Phantom for the first time ever in Las Vegas, The Venetian employed David Rockwell, one of the most renowned designers of today, to design the $40 million custom-built theatre. Rockwell's legendary work includes the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles and Nobu Las Vegas at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The unique theatre was designed to create an ongoing sense of anticipation with a layout that literally surrounds the audience in action.
