Tix-4-Tonite - Discount Show Tickets

Of course we wanted to catch some shows while we were there. They tended to be a bit pricey, but we found a discount ticket vendor. They sold vouchers (more on that later) at good discounts on the day of the shows so there is no advance purchase there. They have several locations on The Strip. We went to the one in the Fashion Mall (right across from a Starbucks!).

There can be a long line there, but they have a VIP pass to bypass the line. They have two types of VIP pass. You can buy an annual pass for $25, or a free daily pass for people who bought tickets the previous day. For the free pass, you will need to bring the tickets from the previous day's show and an endorsed brochure (they will endorse the brochure and explaine it all to you...they want you to come back :-)

I mentioned vouchers earlier. They don't actually dispense tickets. They will give you a voucher which you will then need to take to the box office for the show you are going to see. That is potentially a second line you will need to stand in. I had to stand in line for 90 minutes for a Cirq du Soleil show, but for another show, I could just walk up to the counter at the box office.

They also have specials of up to 50% off for meals at select restaurants. Because of our dietary restrictions, they didn't work out for us, but they looked like great deals.

We saw three shows while we were there:

First we saw “Defending The Caveman” at The Excalibur. It was a hilarious one-man show. It was part entertainment and part marriage counseling. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It has some adult language (not much compared to other Vegas shows, though.)

Our second show was “Mystere” a Cirq Du Soleil show at Treasure Island. I had been avoiding them because I thought I wouldn't like them...boy was I wrong! This is a fantastic show. It is great for all ages. How can one describe a show like this? The performers were all highly skilled and the show had acrobatics, humor, audience participation, and even some just plain silliness :-)

Lastly we saw George Wallace at The Flamingo. I had seen him several years before on Comedy Central. His humor has a few rough edges and there was some adult language and themes, but we both enjoyed it. During the show he honored pastors who were in the audience, showcased an amateur singer (she was excellent!) embarrassed people who came in late or left early, and gave away some gifts. afterward he stayed around to sign autographs and chat.
