Everyone wants to see a show as part of a complete Las Vegas vacation, but the cost of doing so is rising. In a LasVegasAdvisor.com tally of ticket prices for 88 active shows, the average cost of a single ticket came in at a daunting $104.72. That’s just 57 cents higher than last year’s average, but it’s also a sign that $100 tickets aren’t going away. In fact, 48 shows had a ticket price above $100 this year, four more than last. And it’s significantly higher for the premium shows. The highest average for a production was O at Bellagio, coming in at $265.59.

Bargain tickets: The lowest price (includes tax) in this year’s survey was for Adam London’s Laughternoon at the Orleans, coming in at $22.75. Following that, there is Nathan Burton Comedy Magic at Flyover Vegas ($25.44), Chase Brown’s Vegas Country at the noncasino theater Notoriety (26.80) and Popovich Comedy Pet Theater in the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood ($32.69).

Atomic golf: Atomic Golf has opened next to The Strat. The $75 million, four-story attraction occupies 100,000 square feet and features four floors with 101 golfing bays and a “putting district.” Atomic also has six bar/restaurants and has made a point of highlighting its “expansive food and cocktail menus.”

Easter jackpot: A slot player in for Easter weekend from Hawaii hit for $1,172,262 at the California. The jackpot came on a Wheel of Fortune machine.
