Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life

Backstreet Boys in Las Vegas is such nostalgia. I was brought back to the 90s and I loved it. To make the most of my Las Vegas visit it is best to stay in PH that way you can walk right down to Zappos. There is concert merchandise sold as soon as you enter. There are seating sections are easy to read throughout the venue. Before getting to your seats there are bars on either side of the venue. Don't forget to purchase a drink to get the #BSBVEGAS cup. After purchasing a drink you can find your seats inside the venue. As you await for the show to start take as many pictures as you can as quickly as you can before the grumpy security people tell you to sit in your seats. It was a little irritating because you want to be able to capture memories that you paid a lot for and the security (ahem..old grumpy people) will tell you that you're not able to. Let me make memories!!! Once the show is on you are on your feet singing and dancing throughout the show. They preform all of the old hits we have come to love and a few of their newer songs. The Boys may come out into the audience for a song too. Before you know it, the show is over and you will continue to be on your high.

If you love BSB, you are going to Love this concert!!You will be up the whole time singing and dancing! Wear comfortable shoes :) The theater is not that big so despite having seats in the back, view was pretty decent. We were in Section 203 Row K. Sound and light effects were amazing, the boys still got it after 25 years!!Parking is free at planet Hollywood, give yourself at least an hour before the show. The music videos start at 9 pm and actual show begins at 9.30 pm, ends around 11.05 pm with a grand finale.Drinks are pricy at the bar, $24.99 if you choose the souvenir cup and lines can get long as you get closer to 9 pm. Overall had a great time with my girl friends and highly recommend before they end their Vegas residency :)

This was a great show. Highly entertaining. The background dancers did an excellent job keeping you entertained while the group did their costume/break changes. There was primarily a younger crowd (20's) but there were us older folk there too which made not only the show entertaining but the crowd too. Expect to stand while you watch as the energy is high and the majority of people in the audience is dancing and singing along. Whether you are familiar with the music or not, you will more than likely enjoy the venue.We sat in section 205, row F #1-3. Towards the later half of the show, the group comes out into middle of the audience (the walkway before row A in the section we were sitting in (as well as the section to the left and right). It was great and exciting.

Of course I had to review this first!!! It was the reason for my trip to Vegas!!!I have seen them in concert a lot, but this is the first time I specifically flew the whole way across the country for them, and it was so worth it!!! :DIf you're a Backstreet fan, you've probably already seen the setlist. I think they were trying to appeal to the masses, so they did all their hits, and just a couple favorites, and no new stuff except the new single. I knew this before going, but as a diehard fan, I'd have preferred if they did more of the newer stuff, or stuff they don't usually do live, but I'm not complaining. Undone was perfect. And in typical Backstreet style, they changed up the way they do the classics, added some dances, etc, so it's always a great show!We needed to rent a scooter while in Vegas, so we were in the handicapped seating in VIP. The staff that helped us down there were excellent! We sat there for 2 separate shows, and they remembered us the second time! I've had tickets that said "VIP" before, but it's the first time I've ever actually been treated like a VIP!When you're in VIP, you have a chair, you're allowed to stand, and you can go all the way up to the wall in front of you. I had so much space!!! I could have done the whole Everybody dance full out if I wanted to, and if ya know, people weren't behind me watching.Ticket prices are high here, and I debated doing the handicapped seats at the back of section 100, but there was so much space in the VIP section, I couldn't pass that up. And for the price difference, it just didn't make sense. We were in VIP 15, so we were off to the side, but I was close enough to the stage to see their faces. Pictures don't do it justice. My view was better than it looked. As a venue, Zappos theater was great. It's a lot smaller than a stadium, so most seats would have been good seats.If you're in the VIP section, you get drink service, but be aware of the pricing! Possibly my new most prized possession; my Backstreet Boys cup, was $25 at the bar outside the theater for a vodka and Coke. You could get name brand vodka at least, which I didn't realize, so be sure to ask for that. And with the cup, refills are $16, which is a relatively good deal. Well, if you use the drink service, the same drink is $32, and no refills, and you need to tip the waitress!!! For another $7, I can walk myself to the bar, thank you. Not to mention, as a true fan, I couldn't be bothered to order drinks during the show anyway, and I couldn't possibly risk needing to leave for the restroom while my boys were on stage!The music video starts at 9:00. I'd arrive before that to get to your seats before it starts. I think this was my favorite part of the show, but there's too many to narrow down. Enjoy!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQYRiav0G60The only reason I went to Vegas was for Backstreet Boys, and I'm extremely glad I did. I was actually bored when it wasn't a show day. This show was the absolute best thing I did in Vegas without any question at all! #KTBSPA

"I want it that way.""As long as you love me.""Now let me show you the shape of my heart.""Backstreet's back, alright!"Sound familiar? Yup one of the biggest boy bands in 90's is back and this time they are here for their temporary (?) Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood (shows are available in February 2019 and April 2019.) This concert was essentially 25 years in the making and it was really a nice throwback concert. As a very casual Backstreet Boys fan, I found the concert very enjoyable despite the fact that I did not know all of their songs. I got a ticket for $95 (including other fees), but you can potentially get last minute discounts if you check ticket resale apps right before the starting time. 9 PM was the "official" starting time, but the band officially appeared at 9:20 PM (there was a 10-minute recap video about the band before that) and the show ended at 11 PM.They sang about 15 songs and the venue had A+ stereos and A+ lightning. The pacing was pretty slow for some songs, but overall the theater was small enough to feel like a very intimate concert (there isn't really a "bad" seat.) The band interacted with fans and five members constantly moved around the stage to reach out the audience. Choreography and energy level were great! I had to stand 75+% of the time because everyone was standing and you can't see the stage if you choose to sit.Tickets weren't exactly cheap, but this is a must-see 90-minute concert for Backstreet Boys super fans.

This is a long overdue review. When I first heard that backstreet boys were coming back together and having a concert I begged my best friend to come with me. So we were one of those crazy fans that actually traveled to Las Vegas just to see the backstreet boys. If it weren't for them I wouldn't travel to Vegas at all. Also we bought the meet and greet to see them also. For the meet and greet you will have to purchase a concert ticket. So the meet and greet was before the concert and somehow they met everyone before then. Which was amazing because a lot of people stood in line to meet and greet them. I got super excited when I met them, after meeting them they will point you to a different direction where you get one free drink and food (we didn't get to see where the food was). There was also a photo booth also.Before the concert started they were selling merchandise downstairs which was very pricy but that's how it is for every concert so I just bought a shirt and jacket. Overall the concert was awesome! The best concert ever! There was so much memories of their old hits! I'm hoping to fly up to Vegas again to see the concert since they added more shows!

Seeing the Boys in Vegas has been a process that began last year when I secured my pit tickets for an April 2017 show. Booking a flight and hotel, deciding what to pack and leave behind, narrowing it down to ONE outfit to wear for meet and greet??! The anxiety was almost too much to bear but proved to be ALL worth it in the end.Being in the pit (general admission) was an experience like no other. The Boys are literally RIGHT. THERE. But as others have mentioned, The Axis isn't huge and you get a great view from wherever you may be sitting.BSB definitely lets Vegas know that they still have it and aren't losing it anytime soon. They sing every song live (as it should always be) and there's even a bit of choreography and their backup dancers are phenomenal. You'll hear all your 90s faves and some newer ones; the song "Undone" from This Is Us, surprised me; it is such an underrated song, and is SO good live! The energy, the emotions...it's all there. The Backstreet Boys deliver and you won't be disappointed.If you haven't seen them in Vegas yet and haven't secured tickets for their June shows, stay tuned because I think they may be extending their residency. I'm counting down the days when I can see the show again, it's that good.

Our trip to Vegas was planned around hockey and the Backstreet Boys. I've seen the Backstreet Boys live in concert several times before when they visited my home city but of course, seeing them a few times is never enough and I still needed to come here and see them perform live, yet again! I've been a fan since I was 10? 12? Who knows and who really remembers?! All I know is that I used to oogle at their posters way back in the 90s while listening to their music in my personal CD player over and over until I scratch the CD and had to beg my parents to purchase a new one. If you are reading this because you're planning on seeing them and are curious what fans thought of their show, then you can surely relate and I need not say anymore!The show was quite exhilarating and the boys (men) has still "got it going on" for sure. The stage set was pretty minimalistic as far as the decor went with some blue lights all over and smaller screens on each side of the stage. The lighting and effects during the show, however, were great and they sounded like they always have when I've heard them perform live. I ended up with seats that were a great distance from the stage and more in the middle. My biggest advice though when purchasing ticket(s) is to really pay close attention to the seating chart. If you don't have that luxury, however, the theater is still not that big that you really won't miss out on anything. Additionally, the BSBs do go out into the crowd for a song. Nick Carter happened to be the one in my section (within arms reach but I froze and freaked out; stood there like a bump on a log instead) and he is, of course, my favorite so that definitely made my evening! The performance was everything I expected it to be. It was great, they sounded wonderful and I had the time of my life!Yes, they still dance. There were moments (wardrobe change I am assuming) when they would have a slight intermission but they didn't last too long. They had some slide shows with photos of the younger BSB and their tours, goofing off, clips, etc. It was fun being able to see them even though I've seen most of them from their documentary DVDs. Oops... did I just say I own their DVD documentaries, too? Well, as you may have already assumed in the beginning of this review... I am a huge fan. May not be larger than life but pretty darn big!The theater where they perform has a nice lobby area where you can purchase your adult beverage (or not) and merchandise. Like everything else Vegas-related or concert-related, they are quite overpriced but who cares, right?! You are here to see the BSB and you are going to have a great time! Regrets are for later!

BSB IN VEGAS!!! I am a HUUUUGE Backstreet fan (I've seen them twice in Vegas so clearly I'm a little obsessive) and this is one of the best shows I've ever seen them put on!! The ticket time said 9 pm but they didn't come on stage until a bit later. I don't want to give away the show, but you won't regret getting tickets to see them. SO much fun and they sing alllllll the oldies. The show is well choreographed (though the scantily clad ladies are a bit extraneous) and of course, goes by way too quickly. I was on my feet screaming myself hoarse the entire time. Great vibe from the crowd, which is a lot more mature and diverse these days. Don't forget to pop by the merchandise booth before the show for some goodies. Shirts range from $40-$50 and there's even a hoodie available! KTBSPA! BSPWND! I CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK!

BACKSTREET'S BACK, ALRIGHT.As a die-hard #TeamBSB fangirl who never got to see the Backstreet Boys in their heyday, this concert was amazing and as nostalgic as it can get. The boys went through most of their top hits, and there's an emphasis on their older stuff (a relief for someone who hasn't listened to their last three albums yet *hangs head in shame*). It's crazy that they've been doing this for so long, and they put so much energy and enthusiasm into it. My friends and I were dancing, singing along and screaming at the top of our lungs throughout the entire concert. Our voices were shot by the end of the night, but it was absolutely worth it.We also got tickets for the after-party, which we could've passed on. Nick was DJing and Howie and Kevin also showed up, which was cool. But on the downside, it was way too crowded and we were disappointed that they didn't play enough of their own hits, especially the stuff that didn't make it into the show.All that being said, the main event was a lifelong dream fulfilled. Excuse me while I go karaoke allll the BSB songs now.
