Overview
Penn & Teller have been performing together since 1975, and their Las Vegas residency at the Rio has been running since 2001.
Penn Jillette is the loud, fast-talking showman. Teller is the silent, mischievous genius. Together, they create a show that is equal parts magic, comedy, and intellectual exercise.
After every performance, both performers come to the lobby to meet fans, take photos, and chat. It is one of the most generous post-show experiences in Las Vegas.
