Reservations:
Call 702-777-7794.

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.

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:
Slapstick and physical humor abound in this child-friendly show of clown antics.

From the Aga-Boom website:

Rooted in the unique European theatrical style and universal language of clowning, Aga-Boom cuts through the barriers of language and culture with the art of slapstick, the humor of physical comedy and the delighted excitement of childhood.

Aga-Boom is an interactive mayhem that carries audiences to the other side of the funhouse mirror, with outrageous zaniness and unrestrained laughter. This 75-minute explosion of pure family fun, for children and adults alike is high energy, and nothing you have ever seen before.

Created by veteran of Cirque Du Soleil Dimitri Bogatirev , Aga-Boom was nominated for the Ovation Award , in the category of best touring show, along with The Producers, 42nd Street, Lily Tomlin and Elaine Stritch.

Reviews:
"Aga-boom fills the theater with flying wads and flakes of paper, laughter, whoops and screams of children and adults alike. Masterly clowning with its own originality... Pure family fun... In Iryna Ivanytska as the lead clown, Boom, has a clown of extraordinary talent, expressive from the top of her wild pale wig to the red shag toes of her oversize slippers."
- New York Times

"The grand finale come closer to being literally riotous- as in so funny that the audience did more than just laugh- than any theatrical experience within memory... The kids in the audience were on cloud nine, but hardly more so than the adults."
- Los Angeles Times
