I don't know where in LV he is but the Dutch magician Hans Klok has a show with Pamela Anderson as his assistent. I saw him years ago when he was just starting out and he was very good then, so I imagine he still is, to have a show in Vegas.

When I saw Lance Burton several years ago, I felt he was walking through his show on auto-pilot and couldn't wait to go someplace else to have a little fun.
I like the smaller shows, such as I mentioned earlier, and I think your son will too.

I wish that I could remember exactly what year it was that we saw Lance Burton but I am rather certain that it was 7 years ago or less.....We had the great good fortune of being in the front row and I am sure that affected our perception of everything. However, to me he was the consummate showman in the best sense of the word. He was a really good magician but even more, he was a real entertainer. Also, the theater in which he performs is really lovely.... not one of those airplane hangar type affairs that so many Vegas shows use.
I have no way of knowing if more recently he is getting tired or if happytrails saw him on an off night when he may have been coming down w/the flu!

We weren't sitting as close to the stage as I would have liked, and I'm sure we missed much of the "close-up" magic. Then, one must wonder, why the show isn't in a room the size that everybody who buys a ticket can enjoy the whole show.
This may be one reason I prefer the afternoon shows in the small venues.
