Illusions Starring Jan Rouven

This highly professional German magic show is heavy on disappearing acts, sharp objects, and exercise machine-looking props. It is also a dance show, with a different style and attitude than is common in Vegas. When the dancers—three girls and two guys—perform their ballet-quality routines, they nearly upstage the magic. The opening number features marching soldiers in boots and black uniforms, à la The Producers, done in all seriousness. This show is an edgier alternative to a more debonair Stefan Vanel.

Crazy Girls

This is a pleasant topless show where seven beautiful girls perform solo and group numbers, straddling the line between cabaret and strip club, and between dancing and posing. The show uses uncommon songs and has interesting props and lighting effects. The obligatory magician provides comic relief.

La Cage

A smaller competitor to Divas Las Vegas, this drag show features men impersonating female pop stars. Unlike Divas, where the performers are all men, this show has four lovely female backup dancers. The real girls do not upstage the impersonators, validating the men’s talents. The show also benefits from its location in the Crazy Girls’ cabaret-sized theatre.
