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.

Reservations:
Call 800-222-5361, or Reserve your tickets online now!

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."

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:
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.

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.

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.

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.

Description:
Canadian pop superstar Celine Dion has become a big draw on the Las Vegas Strip with A New Day..., created by former Cirque du Soleil director Franco Dragone.

From the Caesars Palace site:

Arguably one of the most popular musical artists of our time, Celine Dion has sold over 175 million albums worldwide, making her the biggest selling female artist of all time.

Celine is thrilled with the opportunity to bring her music to a major theatrical production. "This show marks a turning point in my professional journey. It will guide me to self-discovery, to push the limits of performance and offer a new stage experience to my devoted fans."

"With this show, a new day really does begin for me. I will never again be the same type of performer. I am emboldened by dancers of all disciplines, powerful trainers who made my body stronger and more flexible. I fly, I dance, I bend and I stretch, and, believe it or not, I am enjoying every minute of it." - Celine Dion

An evening spent with Celine is nothing short of extraordinary. She creates her own universe on stage, and then shares it intimately with the audience in a way that heightens and intensifies their senses. You'll leave the show seeing more than you did the day before.

"This is a show about pain, doubt, laughter, talent, beauty, music, friendship, songs. A show about people. About trust. About yes and maybe and no. About ambition, tears and smiles and teamwork. More than anything, though, it is a show about passion." - Celine Dion
