Nathan Burton Comedy Magic Show Tickets

Nathan Burton has been doing family comedy-magic on the Strip since 2001, and he now runs it from his own room - the Nathan Burton Theater inside FlyOver Las Vegas at Showcase Mall, next to the Hard Rock Cafe and M&M's World, directly across from Park MGM. The show is exactly what a 4 PM family slot should be: big illusions, corny jokes, showgirls, birthday-party energy, and ticket prices (from $22 for rear general admission, $32 for the side sections, $42 to $52 for VIP center seats) that undercut everything else calling itself a magic show.

Honesty about the tier: this is a budget afternoon production, not Copperfield - the illusions are solid rather than jaw-dropping, the comedy is deliberately cheesy, and the room is a compact mall theater. That's the deal, and at this price it's a good one for families killing the dead zone between pool and dinner. It plays afternoons at 4 PM only (the old 2 PM slot is gone, and the weekly pattern shifts, so check your date), runs about 70 minutes, all ages. One warning that matters: anything above $52 a seat for this show is markup, and the $22 ticket routinely gets quoted at $150 and up.
