NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON’T. Illusionist Rob Lake has returned to the South Shore Room at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe showcasing his amazing shows through September 4.
This veteran magician’s accolades include “Top Illusionist of the Year” and “International Magician of the Year,” which comes as no surprise as his travels include Australia, Europe, Japan and Thailand, among others. In 2008, early in his career, he received the Merlin Award, magic’s highest honor and was the youngest recipient to receive this distinction.
Known for his appearances on “Masters of Illusions,” as well as large-scale production and complex illusions, enthusiasts can catch his shows nightly at 8 p.m. Tickets start at $38.48 (plus tax and fees).
Harrah’s Tahoe is located at 15 Highway 50 at Stateline, Nevada. For tickets and complete details, call 800-427-7247 or visit www.caesars.com/harrahs-tahoe/shows. MUSICAL NOTES. Country singer Lee Ann Womack and the legendary
