Absolutely no Vegas vacation may be deemed as perfect until you catch some shows. Without seeing a few shows you’ll most likely miss out on an amazing experience. Exhibits in Vegas take enjoyment to completely new degree with extraordinary glitz, as well as big name headliners. There are plenty of shows to catch in Vegas but not many are as good as Penn and Teller.

I have always respected the humorous magician act of Penn and Teller. It’s amazing that no one in the history regarding entertainment has never connected comedy with magic and been so successful doing it. What makes it even more amazing is that Penn and Teller have been doing this for a long time.

His partner Teller was born on February 14, 1948, in Philadelphia. In the 70′s the young men met as part of a comedy set known as Asparagus Valley Cultural Society.

Penn and Teller turned out to be big-time magicians and comedy performers. Throughout the early 1990s the pair could be seen performing on The David Letterman as well as Saturday Night Live and the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Not only did they make tons of appearances on national TV they also had a chance to host their own show called Penn and Tellers’ Sin City Spectacular. At this moment Penn and Teller became house hold names reaching the highest point of their careers.

Even though they have not been capable to maintain this amazing run of achieving success with regard to their TV show, they still do shows in Las Vegas and around the world. Penn and Teller’s main act is performing at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino which is a very popular Casino in Las Vegas. The two have finalized a long term agreement with the Rio. Penn says in the beginning of the show that this is not your regular show. After which the duo amazes the crowd with 90 minutes of nonstop entertainment and comedy. The illusions performed on Penn and Teller is just mind boggling and what makes their show better is that they explain how the tricks are done.

Penn and Teller’s kind of magical comedy is why they will always be remembered. They know how to take a show and make it into an unforgettable experience. These two are truly entertainment icons.
