Las Vegas: Acrobats and Water Effects at WOW

WOW - The Vegas Spectacular at the Rio is a variety show built around changing acts rather than a single performance style. Acrobats and aerialists share the stage with water effects, while music, dance, juggling and comedy give the production its range. Water effects give the show a splashy visual identity, while the aerial sequences add another kind of movement.

Choose WOW if that mix of physical performance and playful showmanship appeals more than a concert or a stand-up set. The production is described as family-friendly, but it also has quieter stretches between its bigger moments; the appeal is the variety, not nonstop acrobatics. Check the venue's current performance information before making plans. This is a guide to the show, not confirmation of a performance on a particular date.

For a different kind of Las Vegas outing, the recommendations below range from cinematic escape rooms and immersive light installations to musical impressions, a zipline and audience-participation magic. They are separate alternatives across the city, not a walking itinerary.
