| - Good show, though they've shown most of the tricks on tv/YouTube already. Also many of the tricks are better viewed up close, I think, since they don't really have a video monitor for the whole show. So if you have the money, I'd recommend sitting closer (though you're at a greater risk of getting called on stage)! If you got discounted tickets like me, rest assured that sitting in the back or side is just fine. When we picked our seats at the box office, the diagram showed us at the very side, but when we got to the theater it didn't feel far out at all. I think any seat has a decent viewing angle.
It starts off with a envelope signing and box viewing experience, where you get to sign an envelope and view a box for two tricks during the show. The box trick was pretty good, though the envelope one was so-so. The rest of the tricks are done well, though they felt very short and discrete. It's a mixture of Penn and Teller doing something big, followed by Teller doing something simple. All in all a fun show to watch.
Transportation to the Rio isn't super convenient, since it's off the strip. You can get free shuttles from Bally's and/or Harrah's, but don't expect them to actually come every 30 min. We had to wait an hour for ours to arrive to go to the Rio, and it was too full so many others weren't able to make it on. We considered walking, but crossing a highway doesn't seem like a great idea.
