Good Vegas entertainment on the Strip for under $50/ticket? -

We ll be in Vegas over Xmas and we re looking for a show to see on the Strip after dinner at Bouchon (Venetian) on Tuesday 12/22. We re already seeing a higher-end show in Penn Teller on this trip, but we re looking for something fun and cheap to do on Tuesday night, preferably near the Venetian, basically in order to keep us distracted and away from losing even more $$ at the tables! We like variety shows, comedians, most types of music (not country or metal), and we re not really into magicians (other than Penn Teller, of course :) ) Any suggestions or shared experiences would be helpful. Thanks!

Penn Teller is a great show - you ll love it.Something to check out will be the Tix4Tonight booths on the strip. They offer same-day show tickets at discounted prices, sometimes up to 50% off. The selection changes daily, and you can never really predict what they will have. But you can often find some great deals. There are often Buy One Get One Free or Buy One Get One 50% Off for Jubilee at Bally s. Great show. You could also check out the Improv at Harrah s - the comedy there is usually really good, and I think tickets are around $30 or a little less. Harrah s is right next door to Venetian. Wayne Brady s show at Venetian is great, but those tickets were $100 each when we were there.

thanks so much for the tip. I ll check out that booth and try my luck on the day of. Report Abuse

There are lots of shows for $50 per ticket. Your best bet is to wait till you get to Vegas and purchase your tickets that morning from one of the half price ticket booths along the strip. Here is more information.http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/discount_��

well you can walk down the strip. its very pretty at night. or watch the masquerade show or the show in the sky at the rio it free. or go to the fashion show mall and spend ur money on shopping lol. oh, you might wanna bring a jacket. its cold out here in vegas right now. :)

I beleve you can do the Las Vegas version of the price is right at Ballys for about $50 bucks and Frank Caliendo as well.

how about you ask when you get there, shows change all the time...(and for under $50 and good...hahahahahahahaha...)

The production shows for that price are usually magicians or family acts. Rita Rudner has a clean comedy act at Harrah s for roughly that price. She can be very funny. However, she seemingly only performs on very sporadic days, so you ll have to check on your date. Unfortunately I think she returns on Wednesday 12/23.--------------------If you have never seen a Cirque du Soleil show, then I urge you to try and see Mystere at Treasure Island right across the street from the Venetian. It will probably cost you more than $50, but it is a lot less than the high price shows like Ka and Love. Despite the age of the show (1993) it is still very entertaining.

Hello Mike P : Every hotel/casino has entertainment ... most shows don t require a reservation. Make sure to pay a night-time visit to Old Las Vegas and watch the overhead computerized light show. Spend a day in Caesar s Palace ... the fountain statues come alive hourly, gift shops there are neat and you ll love the 3D Cinema in Caesar s. Penn Teller are getting old. I wouldn t rate them high-end . For a small fee, you can take a bus ride day-trip to Laughlin. You ll get a view of a desert and the trip there takes 1 1/2 hrs. It s usually a gambler s trip and casinoes there are small. Before you leave, check out entertainment info. at WikiPedia.com. I m sure you ll find all the news you need about entertainment. Enjoy Vegas !, Mike P !
