The Rio Hotel & Casino at 3700 W Flamingo Rd runs a full entertainment lineup: WOW - The Vegas Spectacular, Penn & Teller, Comedy Cellar and The Empire Strips Back. Self-parking at the Rio is free for all of them.
The Rio's family show: 30 artists, water effects, acrobatics, comedy and 3D projections in a 270-degree theater. 90 minutes, all ages (recommended 3 and up), tickets from $45. Performs Tuesday through Sunday, 7pm Tue-Thu and Sun, 6pm Fri and Sat. The lowest-priced seats sell out first, so book your date ahead.
The longest-running headliners in Las Vegas history, at the Rio since 2001 and extended for three more years as of June 2026. Magic and comedy, Thursday through Sunday at 8pm in the Penn & Teller Theater. Ages 5 and up.
Comedy Cellar, the New York stand-up club's Vegas outpost, runs nightly comedy lineups for adult audiences. The Empire Strips Back is an adult burlesque parody. Both are 18+ picks for a later night after the family shows.
WOW at 6pm or 7pm pairs with a later Penn & Teller or Comedy Cellar night on the same trip, all under one roof with free parking. If WOW is on your list, check the seating guide and book ahead: tickets are on sale for dates through the end of 2026 and the $45 entry tier goes first.
