What's YOUR "Best / Worst Vegas Show" ever ?

Taking into account price (value), theatre, sound, etc, etc... what show(s) would you HIGHLY recommend.
Best:
1) Jay White (as Neil Diamond)
2) Phantom of the Opera
3) Jubilee (Classic)
4) Veronic Voices
5) Tower of Power
6) Don Rickles
7) Pete Barbutti
8) Rat Pack (Greek Isles)

Worst:
Vicki Lawrence
I've only seen one on your list - Tower of Power. I really enjoyed them.
DonDiego hesitates to use the words "Best" or "Worst". He recognizes personal tastes differ.

DonDiego likes variety shows. He enjoys music, . . . mostly that composed before the mid-20th Century, and requiring an orchestra, . . . and many motion picture soundtracks. He likes magic.

DonDiego is seldom interested in headliners, . . . except some novelties like, fr'instance, "Weird Al" Yankovic.

Taking into account the variables pearlguy enumerated, DonDiego would recommend:

__ Mystere - his favorite Vegas show. PERIOD.

__ The Mac King afternoon comedy/magic show - good for adults and kids.

__ The Beatles LOVE - an exception to DonDiego's aforementioned musical preferences.

__ V - "The Ultimate Variety Show", . . . although the price has risen significantly.

__ Jubilee - recommended with a warning that it represents entertainment as it used to be in the old days, . . . appealing more to hepcats than hipsters.

DonDiego will allow discovering the worst shows as an exercise for the reader.
Best:

Jersey Boys
I'm sure I would have loved Phantom if I had a chance to see it.

Worst:

The free show at TI
The topless show at Luxor
A couple of lounge bands

Ouch. Really?

I love her show and I think she is hilarious. Of course, I'm Biased. Al and Vicki are good friends of ours.
The best was We Will Rock You. The worst is X Rocks-the stage is small and with the curtains on the side it makes it hard to see all of the show.
I agree that X-Rocks is not very good. But it's way better than Crazy Girls.
I would say I was most impressed with KA and the story line was pretty cool as well with LOVE being a very close second. I would have to say Mystere was the worst I's seen.

I was a little shocked by this one on your list. Fantasy is one of my favorite shows. I always recommend it to guys going to Vegas. Its the only topless show in Vegas that I think would still be worth the money if they left their tops on.

But to each his own....
Top of our list would include Zarkana, Le Reve and we also really enjoyed "V".

Bottom of our list - realizing I may get pounced for this - "O", nearly fell asleep during that one.
