Top 10 Las Vegas Shows by Linda Johnson

By Linda Johnson - Aug 9th, 2010

Although I love being entertained, I've never really thought of myself as a show critic.

After making my list and adding, deleting, and crossing some off, here are the best shows Las Vegas has to offer. Remember, the opinions expressed in this blog are mine and mine alone! 1.

Great review, as usual. I keep saying that I need to see shows in Vegas but never knew what to see. Now that I have your list I know where to start!. Out of those 10 I’ve only seen Penn & Teller.

A little piece of advice is however in order if you plan to spend your next vacations surrounded with these tantalizing Las Vegas shows; remember to book your seats well in advance just like you would book the seats to your plane ride.
