Xavier Mortimer, who performs at the Sin City Theater in Planet Hollywood, is perhaps the most entertaining magician on The Strip. If you only have time to see one show, “Xavier Mortimer’s Magical Dream” is the one to see. Showtimes are at 7 p.m. daily (dark Fridays). Tickets for the amazing show start at $49. For more information or tickets, visit caesars.com/planet-hollywood/shows.
“I Love the ’90s: The Vegas Show” is a hip-hop show currently Salt-N-Pepa performing a set that includes their No. 1 hit “Push It” at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel. Future ’90s headliners include Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath, Dru Hill and Kid ’n Play. Audiences dance to the hits throughout the 90-minute show, which plays 9 p.m. Thursdays through Mondays. When I attended, boxer Mike Tyson was in the audience. Visit caesars.com/paris-las-vegas.
