Stage Show: JERSEY BOYS

Rated #1 Best Show in Las Vegas by the Las Vegas Review-Journal and Vegas Magazine calls Jersey Boys "The must-see show of the year!"

This Tony-Award winning Broadway musical, is a musical documentary that tells the often turbulent, rags-to-riches story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. It follows the lives of the four blue-collar boys from the tough streets of Newark, New Jersey, as they became one of the biggest pop music sensations of all time. The story is told from the viewpoints of all four band members: Tommy DeVito, who founded the group and kept them together until they finally hit it big with "Sherry" in 1962; Frankie Valli, the best-known member of the group with his trademark falsetto voice; Bob Gaudio, who penned the group's biggest hits; and Nick Massi. Some people will also be surprised to learn that it includes the story of actor Joe Pesci, the friend who introduced DeVito to Gaudio and helped launch the group's rise to success.  Length of the show is 2 hours 10 minutes with a pause.  Children under 5 years old are restricted.

Casper Aviation Platoon Group Price: $49.50/per ticket  SOLD-OUT

Seats are located in the Front Mezzanine Section of the theater.  This special ticket price is 50% off the regular price and includes all taxes & fees.  Deadline to order and pay CAPO is: December 16, 2013.

We do not need your ticket money now, but we do need to know if you are going to attend the show?  We need to have the minimum of 10 people in order for us to get this special ticket price. If you are interested in attending this performance of JERSEY BOYS on Wednesday, June 25 at 7:00 pm, please click here and list how many tickets: YES - JERSEY BOYS

Stage Show: LAUGH FACTORY

 

Everyone likes a good laugh every now and then; a fact that is especially true when you're on vacation. Make it a vacation on the Las Vegas Strip with a renowned comedy club – add famous stand-up comedians to the mix – and you'll never look at Las Vegas comedy the same! At the Tropicana Laugh Factory, you will enjoy just such an experience.

Our Las Vegas comedy shows in Laugh Factory bring an amazing, one-of-a-kind brand of comedy not only to the Tropicana entertainment lineup, but also to the Vegas Strip. It doesn't matter what night of the week or what day of the month it is, the Laugh Factory schedule is always full of the hottest comedians in the business – many are superstars from the big screen, others are up-and-coming Las Vegas comedians. Regardless of who is performing, the one thing we know for sure is that you will be rolling on the floor with laughter – unless, of course, you are the daring person that sits in the front row and risks being the butt of a joke or two.

Casper Aviation Platoon Group Price: $25/per ticket   SOLD-OUT

We have arranged for VIP Seating directly in front of the stage for the Tuesday, June 24, 8:30 pm performance of the LAUGH FACTORY at the Tropicana Hotel & Resort (our reunion hotel).  The regular ticket price is $50/person.  Our special price for this VIP seating is only $25/ticket.

If you are interested in this performance and would like to attend, please click here and tell me how many tickets you would like:  YES - The Laugh Factory Show Tickets
