Nothing magical, funny nor entertaining. Now I know why the house was less than half full.

P&T give a good show...if you know what you are seeing. The couple sitting next to me did not know what they were seeing and didn't enjoy it. The Rio should also mention that it is not a show for kids.

Even though I had seen some of their routines before, I enjoyed seeing them live. (I, also would love to see new bits.) They are both good showmen. The show moved at a good pace and there was little set up time between bits. Teller is my fave and I was happy to see that he got a few of his own segments in the show.

Both P&T were available for autographs after the show.

It was not so much bad (although for Vegas it stunk)rather it was disappointing. I expected much more magic and much funnier material. It was campy and silly. When one of their tricks bombed, Penn blamed the audience member who participated. Penn spent too much time dwelling on the fact that he and Teller are atheists. That's ok, but would they like me preaching Christianity at a comedy/magic show they just paid more than $70.00 a seat for? I doubt it. I really feel that these guys are washed up, has-beens. They need to write some new material or retire. It surprised me when we arrived to see that at least half the theater was empty. By the time the show was over I knew exactly why. Avoid this one.

The true magic in their show is they make their audience "think".

We were so looking forward to seeing P & T as they have never been in town when we have. BUT, this show was offensive from the very start. If Penn would have kept his mouth shut this would have been a good show. We have enjoyed watching television specials with P & T and now realize the censors kept them in line. The magic was entertaining but the language and the slams at Christianity were not. The price has gone up from $55 to $75+ service charges and the Samba Theatre was nowhere near full (balcony was empty and dark). I am discouraging everyone I talk to from attending this show.

Have always wanted to see these guys live and now I have. I got tickets for a Sunday show 3 hours prior to the start and the theatre was pretty empty. they put on a great show and I was not disappointed. It is just amazing how well these guys work together and draw the audience in to their show.

I LOVE Penn & Teller and happily was not disappointed by their live performance. I would see them again and again!

The only reason I would say it is not child-friendly is the language. Also, some of the material is "adult" -- kids won't "get-it". Of course, the straight-up magic is great for everyone.

Saw them on 7-25. Very funny and entertaining show. If your expecting your ordinary magic show, go see Lance Burton. Very witty humor and some sharp digs at a few Vegas headliners. The audience participation is quite funny. Not your typical magic show but hey they are Penn&Teller. Bring your camera, because they will take pictures and sign autographs after the show. Lets see S&R do that for their audience.

Very witty humor. Not your typical-run of the mill Las Vegas magic show. Would definately see again

This show stinks!!!! What a dissappointment!!! Having seen these guys on TV we thought their live show would be great, but it was absolutely horrible. The magic is cheesy, and over half of it isn't even magic, it just involves Penn and Teller showing how a trick is done or playing stupid tricks on audience members. Despite the fact that the audience was full of kids, Penn continued to use fowl language and make sexual references. The cherry on the sundae was that is was very expensive. I plan to complain to the Rio ASAP. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

Excellent show and both Penn & Teller stick around afterwards to chat and sign autographs. Would I say bring children to this show? Penn is by no means vulgar, but he has his moments. I suppose I would say if you want Disney material, then take them to Lance Burton (no aftershow autographs there though). If you don't mind PG language, then by all means catch Penn & Teller

Excellent show. They let you think they are letting you in to magic secrets whilst not really doing so, they throw knives, shoot guns. Expect some audience participation. They take the time to meet the fans after the show to sign autographs and stand for photos.

Cool

This is an awesome show. It is also the most intelligent show in town. The finale where they shoot each other in the face with magnums has to be seen to be believed.

Simply Awesome! Without a doubt one of the best shows I've seen since I started coming to Vegas in 89. Non-stop comedy and magic from the start. You're enjoying yourself so much the time just flys by. These guys are great! In my book, a must see for anyone coming to Las Vegas.
