Anthony Cools – The Uncensored Hypnotist
This is the longest running hypnotist show in Las Vegas, and part of its appeal is audience participation. Willing participants are hypnotized on stage and cools has them do everything from pretend they are playing in an orchestra to dancing every time they hear a certain song.

The Blue Man Group in Vegas. www.blueman.com

Blue Man Group
This show featuring a trio of the bald “blue man” (meant to sound like “human”) is described by the Blue Man Group themselves as a “euphoric celebration of human connection.” It is one part art and music and one part comedy. The visuals of the show are meant to stun and awe, but the music, played on makeshift instruments, will leave guests captivated as well. The line-up, stories, and music are continually updated, so even if you’ve seen Blue Man before, you will find something new in the Las Vegas edition.

Location: Blue Man Theater, Luxor
Show Length: 105 minutes
Times: 7:00 p.m. nightly
Price: Tickets start at $86.00
