The Scintas have been out of the Las Vegas tourist zone for a few years. So if you forgot what an old-Vegas show band is, or what it can pack into a half-hour, let’s catch you up:

This Criss Angel trick seems oddly familiar …

An illusion Criss Angel is staging on Fremont Street for television cameras today sounds extremely familiar to Riviera magician Jan Rouven.

To get tip of the hat, let’s push envelope

It might be spring fever, but there’s something in the air besides pollen and it smells a little like — could it be? — creativity.
