Penn & Teller

ABOUT THE PENN & TELLER VEGAS SHOW

Edgy, provocative and hilarious, Penn & Teller have been captivating live audiences at Rio Las Vegas since 2001 when their show originally opened. This show will be a culmination of years of on-stage experience mixed with innovative and creative twists to be enjoyed by long-time patrons and new fans alike.

Their live show combines amazing sleigh-of-hand, large-scale illusions, and classic sideshow routines. Known as the "Bad Boys of Magic" for supposedly revealing the secrets to their tricks, they may show you how it´s done, but they still leave you startled. The Los Angeles Times proclaimed it the “…the single best show in Vegas.”

The luxurious and spacious theater can seat 1,475 people, with balcony and mezzanine seating available. Plus, with high ceilings and massive theater space, this theater can rival any of the top performing arts centers in the world.

The Penn & Teller theater is located along Rio’s Convention Way, just past Starbucks and the spa.
