For 35 years Penn & Teller have defied labels — and at times physics — by redefining the genre of magic and inventing their own very distinct niche in comedy. With sold out runs on Broadway, world tours, Emmy-winning TV specials and hundreds of outrageous appearances on everything from Letterman to Leno, Friends, to The Simpsons, Chelsea Lately to Top Chef, contemporary comedy’s only team show no signs of slowing down. With an amazing five wins as “Las Vegas Magicians of the Year,” their almost 10-year run at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino makes them one of the longest running and most-beloved shows in Las Vegas history, outselling every other resident magician on The Strip. Their acclaimed Showtime series, “Penn & Teller: BS!” has been nominated for 13 Emmys and is the longest-running series in the history of the network. The show tackles the fakes and frauds behind such topics as alien abduction, physics and bottled water.

Friday, February10, 2012 at 8:00 PM Main Stage George Jones
There is no doubt that George Jones helped set the standard for modern country music. It’s impossible to overstate Jones’ impact as one of the architects of the country music sound. He began producing hits in 1959 with the rockabilly chart-topper “White Lighting” and the hits kept coming with songs such as “Tender Years,” “She Thinks I Still Care” and “Walk Through This World With Me.” With an already impressive 30 year career behind him, Jones went on to record one of the all-time great country records, “He Stopped Loving Her Today” in 1980. Join us as we welcome one of the top male singers in country music to the King Center stage.
