“Best Value Show in Las Vegas”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 22, 2007

people found this review helpful

I first saw Mac King at Harrah's about five years ago with my father and I remember that we both thought the show was great! I took my fiancé to Las Vegas last year for her first visit and wanted to take her to the show, but it was dark! So this year we went again and I made sure that he was going to be in town.

Luckily my memory of the show was correct and I enjoyed it every bit as much as the first time - and she loved it too. Mac is hilarious and his tricks may be scaled down compared to other shows but are equally or more amazing. He does mainly slight of hand but the show does include a couple illusions - You'll never forget the amazing cloak of invisibility!

I've been to Las Vegas about seven times and have lots of shows and lots of magicians (Lance Burton / Penn & Teller / Dirk Arthur / Nathan Burton / etc.) but I can honestly say that the Mac King show is the best value out of all of these and best for sheer enjoyment.

Since this is an afternoon show tickets are inexpensive and it's possible to find 2 for 1 coupons in the coupon books or can get discount tickets that are being handed out in the Harrah's Carnival Court ($9.95 per person which includes one drink).

I can't imagine anyone not enjoying this show - kids / adults - It's great for everyone!

“great afternoon matinee if you have the coupon”

We had a complimentary ticket for two that I bought on ebay for $2, but you had to buy two $10 drinks. Our Friends had to pay full price, because we were never given a coupon on the strip. The show is a great afternoon matinee if you have the coupon. He is funny.

“Mac King Rules”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 26, 2007

My wife, myself, her 2 siblings, and their significant others took her parents to Las Vegas for their anniversary. There were eight of us total ranging in age from mid 50's to mid 20's, and we all loved the show. We got coupons online that made each admission only $7.99 inluding a beverage.

The show was hilarious! We loved it because he was a magician who didn't seem to take himself too seriously. The entire show was very funny, and we were all disappointed when it was over after about 80 minutes.

We will definitely be going back on our next trip to Vegas.

“Fun show”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 24, 2007

people found this review helpful

I saw the Mac King show in mid July. I have been to Vegas several times and seen ads for his show. I always thought it wouldn't be worth the money but I was wrong!!

My mother was with me on this trip as well as some of our cousins that wanted to see the show. I am so glad we did. Mac King was funny and high energy the entire time. I thought many of his magic tricks were really cool and left us saying " how'd he do that". No, he didn't make a 747 disappear but it was still more than I could do:-)

All in all, he was a really funny guy and I would recommend the show. I believe it always an afternoon show which gives you a nice "little" show to attend during the day instead of walking on up and down the sun-baked strip. Then you can go see one of the bigger shows in the evening.

Great fun

“Mac King's more than worth the price!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 24, 2007

If you want to see some really amazing magic and laugh out loud while you're doing it, see Mac King. If you don't need your magic with big cats, laser beams, and scantily dressed showgirls, see Mac King. If you prefer an afternoon show with a relaxed atmosphere, see Mac King. His show is hilarious and yet totally appropriate for families, and sometimes you can get in even cheaper when they hand out coupons in Harrah's Carnival Court right before the show. I've seen it twice now and my husband and I still quote the funny lines at each other.
