No, there have been no Elvis sightings in Wisconsin Dells But the nightlife has picked up nicely in the last few years, giving it a mini-Vegas feel after dark. While there are more choices than the night is long, we put the spotlight on some new and some tried and true offerings.
Broadway Dinner Theatre
Let's start with the new. The Broadway Dinner Theatre opened just last year, staging three different shows annually, with lavish costumes, live music and performers recruited from the Big Apple.
Rick Wilcox Magic Theater
Rick and Suzan Wilcox are master illusionists. When you take in their show, expect to see people completely disappear or float on thin air.
Tommy Bartlett Show
This is as Wisconsin Dells as it gets, with sparkly costumes, unbelievable stunts, fast boats, and a laser light show during night performances.
Crystal Grand Music Theatre
Just like Vegas, you can expect a wide range of musical and comedy acts at this 2,000-seat venue. Look for lots of Nashville legends to perform this year.
Wisconsin Opry
This live two-hour show has been attracting audiences for nearly 30 years with a mix of country, bluegrass and gospel music. The dinner shows feature home cooking.
Al. Ringling Theatre
This is considered the "Prettiest Playhouse in America." Located in nearby Baraboo, this theatre that once staged vaudeville and opera acts now shows movies and plays host to local performance groups.
Dells Comedy Club - Wild 4 Hypnosis Show
Be prepared. This comedy hypnosis act includes audience participation. There's a family version and one for grown-ups too.
Ho-Chunk Casino
This is so Vegas, with slots 24/7, blackjack, five restaurants, luxury hotel accommodations, musicians and comedians performing, a fitness and aquatic center, and a convention center. A large bingo hall seats 500.
Mind you, this is just a partial list. Ask locals where they like to go for entertainment and you're bound to get an expanded inventory of recommendations, like live music at area clubs and pubs, sunset dinner cruises, or the old-timey outdoor drive-in theater.
