Have you ever had that awkward moment where one person in your group wants to see a zombie show and the other wants to see a burlesque show? Thankfully, Zombie Burlesque is available to end the debate. Admittedly a delicate balance, Zombie Burlesque manages to satisfy those who come for the antics of the undead and the booty twerking, alike. More than just a mindless strip show though (pun intended), Zombie Burlesque is, plain-and-simply, a good time. Because we’re all 15 years-old at heart, jokes about flesh eating and fornicating will obviously never get old, but the dancing, singing, body bending and aerial routines will have your jaw dropping in amazement. Shock, awe and overall awesomeness aside, the show’s element of improvisation means that no two shows are ever the exact same, which is about as fresh as a recently murdered –err-, maybe we shouldn’t go down that road. Zombie fans, burlesque lovers, comedy fanatics, this show has something for everyone. Now if only it was this easy to get everyone to agree on dinner.

With his wild, electric blond hair, Murray is hard to miss. Some 22 million viewers nationwide watched the charismatic magician perform as a semifinalist on the NBC hit show “America’s Got Talent.” He did the largest magic trick ever performed on the show by making a 1918 steam train locomotive vanish in mere seconds. Now you can see Murray perform live on the Vegas stage. Murray is well known for his larger-than-life illusions, such as making a Ferrari appear from thin air and transforming a showgirl into a 450-pound tiger. With a knack for keeping his audience entranced with amazement, his show gives his onlookers a uniquely immersive experience. During the show he performs two of his signature illusions in the middle of the audience, giving them an intrusive 360-degree view of him and his tricks while leaving no hiding space. Even when he’s on stage, the showroom makes everyone feel like they are up close to Murray and his mind-blowing magic. Aside from “America’s Got Talent,” Murray has been featured in various other TV shows. He has guest starred as a magic expert on the History Channel’s hit TV series “Pawn Stars.” His other TV credits include VH1’s “Celebracadabra” and “Tough Love,” Comedy Central’s “Reno 911,” NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” and Fox’s “Celebrity Blind Date.”

Can’t decide between a comedy show, a concert, and a celebrity impersonator? Check out Gordie Brown and you’ll be sure to get a taste of all three.  He’ll have you cracking up throughout the show, alternating between a whole host of celebrities and musicians. One minute he’s doing a flawless “you talkin’ to me” Robert De Niro, and the next he’s jamming out to “Burning Love” by Elvis. Jack Nicholson, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks, Prince, Willie Nelson…you never know who he might transform into next! When we say that he sings, we’re not talking about some half-baked covers. He executes stunning impersonations of the musicians in concert, and it feels like you’re actually at Madison Square Garden listening to Willie Nelson. You’ll be shaking your head wondering why nobody mentioned that Michael Jackson is back from the dead. The show is different every night, so you’re in for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Brown takes requests from the audience, impersonating celebrities as the crowd shouts out their names. Make sure that you think of a couple of good ones before you get to the Golden Nugget.   

Before Coachella and EDC were a thing, there was a ginormous festival called Woodstock. You probably don’t have to Google it, because it was that big of a deal. Well little did you know, Santana performed at that festival and now he’s coming to Vegas. *mic drop* Now that his street cred is established, let’s talk about how the legend rose to fame. Unlike many artists, his career went from 0 to 100 in two years. Not only were his guitar skills on point; his first album produced a couple sparks and his single “Evil Ways” went on to become a top ten hit. A year after, the spark turned into a glorious flame and “Black Magic Woman” and “Oye Como Va” on his second album were No. 1 chart toppers. We don’t know about you, but “Oye Como Va” has already got us moving our hips and will most likely be stuck in our heads for the next week. Success after success, Santana blew up and went on to win nine Grammy’s in one night. Get your hips moving as Santana takes the House of Blues Las Vegas stage for a night of hits.
