4 shows just off the Strip — from $35. Everything playing at the Rio, headlined by the long-running Penn & Teller, compared in one place with real prices and no added fees.
The Rio sits just west of the Strip — about a mile off the main drag on Flamingo Road — and that's exactly why it's a value play: the shows are strong and the crowds are thinner. The anchor is a Las Vegas institution: Penn & Teller have headlined the Rio for decades, one of the longest-running residencies in town.
Around them, the lineup is refreshingly eclectic: the sci-fi burlesque parody The Empire Strips Back, the WOW – The Vegas Spectacular production, and a Las Vegas outpost of New York's famous Comedy Cellar. It's a quick rideshare from the Strip, and the trade-off is easier parking and a little more elbow room.

Off-Strip at 3700 W Flamingo Rd — about a mile west of the Strip. A quick rideshare or drive; parking is easier than the Strip resorts.

Comedy Cellar and The Empire Strips Back both land in the high $30s — strong nights out for well under the Penn & Teller headline price.

No — the Rio sits just west of the Strip at 3700 W Flamingo Road, about a mile off the main drag. It's a quick rideshare or drive, and the trade-off is smaller crowds and easier parking.
Penn & Teller have headlined the Rio for decades — it's one of the most established residencies in Las Vegas and the main reason most people make the short trip off-Strip.
Penn & Teller and weekend dates sell through, so booking a few days ahead is smart. The smaller-room shows often have closer-in availability.
