Going out in Las Vegas can be a tall order; what's there to do that hasn't been done a million times? Out of the box thinking is required to plan a night on the town that's new and different (particularly when it involves a sweetie). The best Las Vegas shows are often times hidden in plain sight and it's all about finding them.
One genre of entertainment in Vegas that's often overlooked is the dinner theatre murder mystery. This genre combines all of the quirky fun of a detective story combined with the 8 entertainment value of a night at the theatre and the ease of a delicious meal. Even better - some dinner shows invite audience participation so that every guest feels like a part of the action. Truly, it's an experience of a lifetime and shouldn't be missed.
Different interactive murder mystery show companies pitch their evenings at different audiences. Some have story themes (like medieval times, a family retreat, etc.), while others are less of a specific genre and more of a "feel". 
Thrills and chills are definitely a different type of murder mystery than dark comedic chuckles; but all types are delivered by the various companies out there. A bit of research and understanding of these different modes (as well as what an audience would like to get out of an evening) will provide with the highest entertainment value.
Since murder mystery dinner theatres provide dinner and a show, some guests find it much more relaxing than a conventional two-part date. Since the twofer precludes the need for a couple to fumble with complicated reservations in neighborhoods that may or may not be familiar, worrying about whether a meal will be ready on time to dash over to the theatre, or if traffic or parking will keep them from getting to your seats in time for curtain, this is an evening of pure entertainment without the hassle.
Perhaps the most important part is that theatre provides easy conversation (both during and after the show). A new shared experience is a great way to get to know someone new, or deepen an existing relationship. As such, the murder mystery dinner theatre makes the perfect night on the town for someone who wants to see one of the best shows Las Vegas and make an impression on a loved one at the same time.
