Nathan Burton Comedy Magic
Magic and comedy, right on the Strip. This show is a fast, 70-minute mix of illusions, laughs, and audience participation inside the Nathan Burton Theater at FlyOver Las Vegas, so you get a lot of energy without the big-show fuss.
I especially like how it feels up close in a small, organized theater, and how the comedy keeps the magic from getting stuffy or intimidating. The performance stays family-friendly and G-rated, which makes it an easy choice even if your group includes kids.
One thing to consider: the show is high-energy and interactive, with loud moments and lots of stage lighting. If you are bringing a very sensitive kid, or someone who prefers quiet, you might want to plan a backup option nearby.

Key Things I Think You Should Know Before You Go

- New location at FlyOver Las Vegas (across from Park MGM), not Planet Hollywood
- G-rated magic and comedy that works for adults and kids
- Four seat tiers, including a VVIP area often described as VIP couch seating
- Audience participation is part of the format, so plan for some involvement
- Short time commitment at about 1 hour 10 minutes, great for fitting into a Las Vegas day
Nathan Burton Theater at FlyOver, Not Planet Hollywood

The biggest practical win here is where the show happens now. Nathan Burton Comedy Magic moved into the brand-new Nathan Burton Theater at FlyOver Las Vegas, across from Park MGM, and it is no longer at Planet Hollywood Casino.
The theater address is:
3771 S Las Vegas Blvd Ste. 160, Las Vegas, NV 89109
If you are using Uber or Lyft, use the FlyOver address. Do not put in the old Planet Hollywood show location, because it has not been updated to match the move.
Where you will be on the Strip: you can think of this as between Hard Rock Cafe and Target, and you will also hear it described as between Hard Rock Cafe and Ross. The point is simple: you can walk it or grab a short ride without feeling like you are off the grid.
Easy entry tip: enter FlyOver using the strip-side entrance. The theater entrance is right inside. Once you are in the FlyOver building, it is a straightforward path from the lounge area to the theater.
What the 1 Hour 10 Minute Show Actually Feels Like

This is not a slow, sit-and-watch magic lecture. Nathan Burton Comedy Magic is built as a tight, fast-moving, interactive whirlwind. The show combines head-scratching illusions with comedy, and it leans into the idea that magic can happen in front of your face, not just on a distant stage.
A few things that matter for your expectations:
- It is a comedy magic show, not just magic. The jokes and personality are part of the structure, so even if you think you know how certain tricks work, the performance keeps you engaged.
- Illusions are designed for an intimate room. Because the theater is small, you get the feeling that the magician is right there with you, not performing for a stadium crowd.
- It is G-rated. That means you do not need to worry about language or adult-only content. For family groups, it is one of those rare Vegas activities that can keep everyone comfortable.
From the reviews and the overall format, audience participation seems to be a core element. You might be called on to take part, and even when you are not picked, the energy often rises when the magician brings people into the action.

Inside the One-Stop Itinerary: Your Time at the Theater
There is one main stop, and it is refreshingly simple. You go to Nathan Burton Comedy Magic inside the Nathan Burton Theater at FlyOver Las Vegas. The show runs about 1 hour 10 minutes.
That time length is practical. It is long enough to feel like a real event, but short enough that you will not lose most of a day to entertainment. If you are doing a “Vegas sampler day,” this kind of show helps you pace yourself.
Also, you are not dealing with a complicated schedule. You arrive, find your seat, and settle in for a quick, high-energy program. The show is sold as a no-nonsense, easy evening out.
Seat Options and Why Upgrading Can Be Worth It
One of the smartest choices you can make here is picking your seat level. You can choose between four seat options, ranging from entry-level up through VVIP.
Why the seat choice matters:
- In a small theater, where you sit strongly affects how close the action feels.
- Many people like the show precisely because it is not distant. Upgrades can turn a good view into a front-row, very personal experience.
At the top end, there is a VIP couch concept that comes up often. The idea is that you are right there for the close-up moments, and you can even end up participating more directly because the seating puts you in the magician’s orbit.
If you want the best experience for the least fuss, I would aim for the closest seats you can comfortably afford. If your group includes kids, closeness can make the difference between, It is fun and mysterious, and, Wow, I am part of this.
One note for your planning: because the show is interactive and uses bright stage lighting, very front seating might feel more intense. That can be great for most people. If you have someone who gets overwhelmed by flashing lights or louder moments, choose with that in mind.
Audience Participation Without the Awkwardness

Audience interaction is a big reason this show earns repeat bookings. The magician includes the crowd often, and people can be selected for tricks.
If your goal is to increase your odds of getting involved, there is a simple tactic that makes sense in a small theater: sit on the sides. That advice shows up in the experience details, and it fits how interactive stages usually work.
If your goal is to enjoy without volunteering, that is also manageable. Since it is an up-close show, you are still part of the room’s attention, but you can stay in enjoy mode and watch the trick flow.
The only consideration is comfort level. Some people love the participation. Others prefer to stay purely in the audience seat. The show is high-energy, so if you have a kid who dislikes being singled out, it is worth thinking about where you sit and how you explain the experience ahead of time.
Value Check: Is $25 Good for Las Vegas?

At $25 per person, this show is priced as a bargain compared with most Las Vegas headliners. That matters, because you are getting something that feels active, not passive.
Here is why the value can be real, not just marketing math:
- You get a full event in about 70 minutes. No half-day commitment.
- The theater is small and interactive. In other words, your ticket buys more than just a seat. It buys proximity and involvement.
- It fits families. If your group includes kids, you may find fewer entertainment options that hit the right tone and still keep everyone entertained.
One of the most consistent themes in the experience is that people leave feeling it was worth the time and money. If you want a Vegas show that does not require a huge budget, this is the kind of ticket you can confidently add to your itinerary.
Timing and Getting In Smoothly (Mobile Ticket Edition)

You will receive a mobile ticket, which is the modern convenience you want in a busy city. That usually means you can pull it up right when you arrive instead of hunting for printed confirmations.
Parking is not included, but paid self-parking is available. The entrance to the garage is on Las Vegas Boulevard between Hard Rock Cafe and Ross. From the garage, you head down the elevators to the ground floor, go through the double doors, then through the next set of double doors into the FlyOver lounge area. The theater is down the hallway.
If you are taking a ride-share:
- Use FlyOver Las Vegas at the correct address.
- Plan a few extra minutes so you can enter through the strip-side entrance and locate the theater without rushing.
If you are walking:
- Aim for the FlyOver strip-side entrance.
- Enter FlyOver first, then follow the short route inside to the theater entrance.
Who This Show Suits Best

This is a great match for:
- Families who want a fun Las Vegas activity that is genuinely kid-appropriate
- Adults who still like interactive entertainment, not just sitting and watching
- Groups on a budget who want a solid show without spending big
- Anyone who enjoys close-up magic, where the trick feels like it is happening to you, not from far away
It might be a weaker fit if:
- You or your child are very sensitive to loud moments and bright blinking lights
- You dislike interactive formats and prefer a more passive theater experience
If you fall into the second group, you might still enjoy it, but I would consider seating choices carefully and maybe plan to step out briefly if needed.
Should You Book Nathan Burton Comedy Magic?
My take: if you want a high-energy, family-friendly comedy magic show with solid value and real proximity, I would book Nathan Burton Comedy Magic. The move to the Nathan Burton Theater at FlyOver keeps it easy to find from major Strip landmarks, and the small-room feel is a big part of the appeal.
I would especially book it if you are thinking, We want something fun and not too expensive. This show is built for that exact mindset, and you will likely walk away impressed, laughing, and with a few lingering mysteries about how certain tricks happened.
If you are bringing someone who hates bright lights or being involved, go in with eyes open, sit thoughtfully, and treat it like a lively stage experience, not a quiet performance.
