    See that's what Im worried about. I loved their channel 4 show ten years back.

    Cheers for the advice on the seats

    We really enjoyed the show. My husband mentioned it a few times and we eventually went to see it 2 years ago I think. We did get moved forward though, don't buy expensive seats. Also try to get a deal. We went over to use some kind of coupon and the show wasn't on that evening, it was cancelled. They guy said he'd give us a better deal for the next night. We thought it would be rubbish, but he went on his screen and sorted us out with a good deal right enough. It included a free programme each, we ended up giving one away in the line because we only really wanted one. You can get this signed after the show. :j

    Keep and eye on broadway box as well, and I think Luci knows some places to get good deals....I'm sure she'll comment shortly if she has some suggestions. We booked them at their box office, depends if you'll be at the box office and if you catch them when they aren't busy they might do you a nice deal. Otherwise check the ticket booths - maybe someone can let you know the latest prices. I'm sure we got 2/1 plus free programmes.

    I've gone for it on your recommendation :D

    http://www.travelzoo.com/local-deals/Las-Vegas/Restaurant/19571

    $35 for:
    Shared appetizer
    2 Entrees
    2 Margarites

    Worth a go :)

    That's a good deal! From memory I'm pretty sure you get a gigantic plate of tortilla chips and various dips/salsas for free when you sit down. You will be stuffed by the end!

    The margaritas are good. The main course I had was a chicken chimichanga I think, thinking about it now is making my mouth water! Enjoy!

    Bestofvegas.com have Penn and Teller tickets for $56 seems a fairly good deal.

    I really enjoyed Penn and Teller, but my ticket was free.

    Hubby enjoyed Penn & Teller. I slept through it as I tend to do with some shows.

    Best I've seen is for a while is $49.50 on Travelzoo, but there is 10% LET plus fees on top of that so the BestofVegas might be a better deal if it includes everything.

    We thought P&T were not very good. They only do about 6-8 "trick" through the show because Penn keeps talking. BTW if they still do the box thing on stage before the show starts I can tell you how it's done:D
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    Hi
    We're off to Vegas in September with some friends. My husband and his mates want to go clay pidgeon shooting. Any suggestions where.
    Many Thanks
    The gun store won't keep them that busy for long, it's pretty expensive and you can't do clay shooting there, it's all indoors.
    Now the place we went to a couple of times might be right up their street. http://www.shootingsafaris.com/index.html
    I don't know if he is still going but you can try.

    we saw P&T in 2002 - we were shocked when we recently looked at the ticket stubs and realised it was 10 years ago...have the signed ticket stub framed with pics of hubby with each of them after the show and a $5 P&T chip from Rio.

    We loved it - really loved it...but it is not really like their show. We didn't mind Penn jabbering on, but it is something a lot of people have found off-putting.

    We keep thinking about seeing it again, but gather it's pretty much the same show as it was...so not a lot of point really.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?
