Penn & Teller Celebrate 25 Years at the Rio — A Historic Vegas Run

 Penn & Teller are celebrating a major milestone this month: 25 years of performing at the Rio in Las Vegas, officially marking one of the most impressive long-running magic residencies of all time.

In an entertainment city where shows come and go fast, Penn & Teller have done the impossible — they’ve built a residency that’s become a Vegas institution. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Neon column, their run at the Rio is considered the longest unbroken headliner residency at a single hotel in Las Vegas history.

The duo’s theater at the Rio has also become legendary in its own right, serving as the home base for countless unforgettable performances — and for many fans, it’s a must-visit destination for live magic.

For magicians, this milestone isn’t just a fun anniversary — it’s proof that a magic act can stay relevant for decades without losing its edge. Penn & Teller have continued evolving while keeping the core of what makes them great: strong material, smart performance, and the ability to amaze an audience night after night.

25 years at the Rio is more than longevity — it’s magic history in real time.
