Las Vegas shows during Christmas time
 
Hi everyone,
just wondering what your thoughts are on the following shows:
Kris Angel
David Copperfield
Jerry Seinfield
All are on during our time in Vegas and we will probably see two of them.
I assume it will be necessary to book from Australia as it is over the Christmas period.
Look forward to your suggestions and recommendations.
Donna

Criss Angel is magician. So is Copperfield. Pick one of them .then see Seinfeld who is comic. The magicians are different, check them out and see which interests YOU more, pick that one.

I agree with DebitNM. You may also want to check out a Cirque de Soleil show. They are fabulous.

Thanks for the replies.
I am aware that Angel and Copperfield are magicians but wondered about Copperfield. He must be a fair age now.
We have seen Angel on tv. In regards to Seinfeld also wondered what he would be like as it has been some time since his tv show and other comedy shows.
Yes the Cirque de Soleil shows are great. Many have been to Australia.
I am wondering if anyone has had recent experiences at any of these shows.
Is it best to book from Australia?
Thanks
DebitNM and MichelleY for your help.

My input was based on the 3 you listed. Personally, I doubt I would see Seinfeld or Copperfield but that's me. I would check out others shows, but that's me.

A friend saw Terry Fator and said he was fabulous. He was the winner of America's got Talent a few years ago. I would see him, but that's me. Not into magic and Seinfield if long in the tooth. I would only book those ahead if you REALLY want to see them.

Thanks again MichelleY and DebitNM, my husband is interested in Seinfield and I am the one who would like to see Copperfield.
I will check out other shows for that date too and also Terry Fator.
Thanks

IMO Seinfeld is still current. Check out his web series,

I've seen every Cirque show in Vegas & numerous others. Chris Angel is the only show I wish if could get my money back. I liked the tv show but this is god awful!

Thanks Susan M and Sitec_er for your suggestions.

We just went and saw Tosh.O, the comedian, but he was only there for a couple of nights. He was really funny. I am assuming Seinfeld would be pretty good still. I still like watching his show.

We also saw Jersey Boys which was a really good production, musical.
I am not in the big fan of cirque de solie shows. I think they sound really cool,but after about 15 minutes, would probably be bored by it all.

Circo restaurant at the Bellagio had great food (italian). Really enjoyed our meal there. It was pricey, but good. Ask for a table that overlooks the fountains.

We bought our tix in advance of our trip. Tosh.O sold out pretty quick. I am assuming jersey boys would be fairly easy to get even close to the dates.

Magpies Oct 11th, 2013 03:46 PM

Thanks girlonthego will check out Tosh O. I would like Jersey Boys but not my husband.
Will check out Circo we love Italian too. We are staying at Vdara so can get there with no issues.
