If you splurge for the first five rows, your chances of being pulled up on stage are pretty good. How are the seats? The seats are wide and comfortable. The duo like to let their audiences in on some of the tricks of the magic trade (and put down some of the “showier” magicians in town), but their own illusionist stunts will leave you scratching your head. Penn is the talker, his schtick is sarcasm (occasionally sounding off on politics and religion), while mute Teller is the performer. What kinds of events can we see here? Penn and Teller is the longest-running magic show in town and though their act is well-honed, it's never boring.
Give us the big picture: What’s the vibe of the place, what’s it like? You’ll have to walk through the Carnival-themed lobby and casino floor of the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino to reach the Penn and Teller theater, which is actually pretty standard in terms of layout and decor (it’s similar to a deluxe movie theater) but filled with comfortable seats.
