Magic Shows
While celebrity magic acts are easily found on the Strip, a number of lesser known illusionists also offer shows that are no less entertaining. The Mac King Comedy Magic show at the Harrah’s does not feature spectacular lighting or props, but his illusions awe audiences of all ages none the less.

The show includes audience interaction and promises plenty of laughs and surprises.
Comedy
Kevin Burke’s “Defending the Caveman” offers a unique way of understanding the behaviors of both genders by comparing modern day civilization to that of our ancient ancestors. Burke hilariously suggests that prehistoric habits merely adapted to modern culture. The Laugh Factory at the Tropicana offers a variety of comics covering a wide range of subjects. Dozens of now famous comedians began their career at the world famous club.
