Craig Ferguson: Pants on Fire

Located within the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino just off the Las Vegas Strip, the Penn & Teller Theater has been a cornerstone of the city’s entertainment scene since 2001. Originally known as the Samba Theater, this venue offers a classic performance space with excellent sightlines and acoustics tailored for both grand spectacles and sharp punchlines. Its position slightly away from the main corridor provides a focused atmosphere, making it a premier destination for fans seeking high-caliber comedy and magic. The theater is best known as the long-term home of the legendary duo Penn & Teller, whose signature blend of skepticism and humor has defined the space for decades. Beyond its resident stars, the stage frequently hosts world-class touring comedians and variety acts. Notable performers like Ali Wong and Jo Koy have graced the stage, and the room is a frequent site for filming major comedy specials. The venue offers a sophisticated yet welcoming environment to experience premier live talent.
