Default Las Vegas Shows.. Anything worth going to???

I am going to be in Vegas late November and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good show. Looking over the list, most of them sound pretty lame. I'm not interested in cheesy magic or topless women dancing to show tunes.. I've done the whole Cirque thing and I'm not looking to drop over 100 bucks a ticket. The only thing that somewhat interested me was 2nd city, but I've done that in other towns and I've seen the Vegas show about 5 years ago when it first opened. Any suggestions would be great.. Thanks..

I saw carrot top at the luxor, it was a good time. 65 bucks we got front row.

See LOVE if you haven't seen it anyway. I know you dont want to do the whole cirque thing, but on the bright side it wont bet $100/ticket - it will be much more.

Tony Bennet is in town late November 23/24.

Dany Gans is funny, as is Gordie Brown. Gordie tix can be had cheaply through online bucket shops at times.

I have seen LOVE 3 times. I would actually not mind seeing it every time I am in Vegas......it is that good. Each time I have seen it, I got tickets different ways. 1st time, I called the box office on the day of the show, and they had some tickets that people never picked up...$75 each. Middle-ish level.
The Wynn has a great concierge service. If you stay there they can hook up anything in Vegas. Paid $150 per ticket.

Im really not into shows at all.....but i brought my girlfriend to the show, and found a new appreciati0on for stuff like this.

You would have to pay me to see either of these shows, the thought of them standing on stage is revolting.

You seem to already have a good grasp as to what you like and what Vegas has to offer for the most part. Others here will chime in on what they like. I will take the opposite approach and tell offer what I think you should avoid!

Le Reve is by far still the most overrated, boring, overpriced, "O" rip-off there is. How it's still running is still a mystery to me. I've seen the show 2x (only because we got comped and friends wanted to go), but it truly is a poorman's "O". It's mostly choreography (not very good at that) and very little impressive acrobat. If you must blow money to see a show, check out "O" or any Cirque show instead!

Isn't there a mechanic show as well? Those are always mesmorising.

What do you all in Vegas think of Blue Man?

I always wanted to see Penn and Teller. Time to head to Vegas in a month or so anyways.
