If big, bold experiments in Las Vegas entertainment were unraveling this week, smaller but still-encouraging ones continue.

Watching the rehearsal in front of him, show producer Adam Steck declares, “You gotta have an Aboriginal routine in an Australian show.”
The billboards make them look like magic’s version of “The Avengers.” And they fight their way out of a basement like superheroes, too.
Figuring out how to get the club demographic to buy show tickets is still a bit of a mystery. But one thing isn’t.
There comes a point in every Celine Dion show where the waterworks open and you can’t stop a tear from running down your face.
NeNe Leakes, best known as one of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” makes Cirque history on Friday with a week as the guest host of “Zumanity.”
You saw ’em back in the day. You probably just didn’t realize it.
Frankie Moreno proves that life is not always one thing or another, and sometimes you can be both.
It’s not so easy to get a movie and a Broadway show here at the same time. The film version of “Jersey Boys” arrives Friday, bringing the rare chance for a fanatic to see both the movie and the stage musical in the same day.
Want to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Elvis Presley recording “That’s All Right” on July 5?
It isn’t Las Vegas without an Elvis impersonator, sure. But anymore, it isn’t Las Vegas without a Tim McGraw impersonator, some nights working a few blocks away from where the real McGraw is singing. You can choose either one at adjacent venues inside the V Theater.
Jeff Civillico still relies on hand-to-eye coordination, but his low-budget show at The Quad doesn’t really feel like one when it comes to ideas per dollar.
Cirque du Soleil doesn’t appear to be packing up and leaving Las Vegas anytime soon. So the next best hope of all the smaller shows in town is that the Strip’s dominant producer will be really, wildly successful.
Las Vegas is the magic capital of the world, but its magicians don’t represent the world’s diversity. Reynold Alexander is out to change that with “Magia.”
There’s still a certain sizzle to having “Las Vegas” in your name. Maybe less so for pavers or locksmiths, but definitely for three singers trying to sell tickets to people who haven’t heard of them.
