That show is Mystere. It shows at the TI hotel on the Strip.
Without a doubt my families favorite Las Vegas dinner show is Tournament of Kings which shows at Excalibur hotel. It's entertaining, fun, bursting with action and the dinner is excellent.
Mac King Comedy Magic is a long standing magic show in Vegas which is kid friendly and under rated. Mac King is actually hillarious as well as a great magician.

America's Got Talent Las Vegas LIVE is awesome! It's great for kids 5 years and older.
