Description:
Dirk Arthur's family friendly afternoon magic show is appropriate for all ages. Arthur is a prop illusionist who uses exotic big cats, all of which he has raised. To promote endangered species awareness, an Animal Planet special featuring Arthur and his cats is highlighted during the show.

From the Tropicana site:

Monstrous cats...heart-pounding illusions. It's Las Vegas magic to the extreme, featuring the only magic show on the Las Vegas Strip where visitors can get an up close look at exotic animals while they enjoy exciting magic.

Audience members can see orange Bengal tigers, white striped tigers, a pure white snow tiger and black African leopards. In addition to these fabulous exotic animals, a real 26-foot long Robinson helicopter flies in from thin air - its chopper blades whirring with revolutionary magician Dirk Arthur aboard. This fast paced Las Vegas magic show captivates audiences with humor, dance and breathtaking magic sequences. To see it is to disbelieve it!

Description:
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. Wyrick has been performing in Vegas for more than 10 years, and his show is so successful that he now has his own custom-made entertainment complex. 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.
