Danny Gans, playing inside the Danny Gans Theatre, at the Mirage Hotel and Casino is one of the best shows in Las Vegas. With just a microphone and a band, Gans make the evening fly by. He is incredibly talented. His singing and acting abilities augment his impersonations beautifully and simply make this an amazing and wonderful show.

Danny Gans has worked his way up the ladder of success in Las Vegas and is proof that the cream really does rise to the top. Gans started out at the Stratosphere, went to the Rio, and then to his own showroom inside the Mirage with a long term contract. This amazing rise through the ranks of these showrooms on the Strip has only been possible because of his recognized and incredible talent. Gans has received many accolades--"Best Performer," "Best Headliner," "Best Show in Las Vegas," and others too numerous to mention. Having once again seen his show, I would have to agree with these awards. The show has been updated and remains as fresh as ever.

There are many good shows in Vegas. What separates Gans from the rest of them is the utter simplicity of his show. There is no spectacle. There are no special effects, no chorus, and no dancing girls. It is just him and his band. It is with his talent and abilities that he captures our attention and focuses our concentration on him, and him alone. He makes us laugh and cry with his mix of comedy and sentimentality. He is as good at singing as he is at acting, and amazingly enough, he does his female voices as well as his male voices.

The show starts off with incredible energy. The quick paced montage of characters fly by so fast that it is overwhelming. Part way through the show you feel exhausted from having absorbed so much. The only problem with the show is that sometimes you just need a chance to catch your breath.

Gans show abounds with many wonderful impressions--Natalie and Nat King Cole singing a duet, Jimmy Stewart and Kermit the Frog singing a duet, but my absolute favorite is his George Burns. Gans', Burns is sweet, funny and sentimental. In addition to all of the characters, we also get to see a glimpse of the man himself. By the conclusion of the show, we respect both him and his talent.

The Danny Gans theatre is a nice space for the show. It is not really a fancy theatre. It doesn't have a lot of adornments. The stage is small. The lighting is fair. The theatre seating is comfortable, but most of all, the theatre serves the show well. There is no need for a large stage or an abundance of lighting. It is a good theatre for the show, and the audience is comfortable, and they can see and hear well.

Danny Gans is an amazing performer and has earned the praise and awards that have been bestowed upon him. He works hard and puts on a great show. It is one of the "must see" shows in town.
