The Theater

This place is pretty cool. I saw King Diamond here last night. Perfectly serviceable music venue. No complaints from me. Awesome.There were illegal immigrants protesting outside of the parking garage.

This is a review for VIP seating , my family attended a rock concert on 9/5/24 . This review is only for VIP seating on couch 2 . Waitresses were impeccable on their service and checking on customers every 15 to 30 minutes to make sure we have drinks and snacks available. Was really pleasant security guard Jimmy went above and beyond servicing VIP members. The couches had good views overlooking general admission floor seating, giving you a good amount viewing of the artist. I only complaint about the concessions at the theater was the only had beef jerky , candy and Pringles for snacks I feel they should've had popcorn or even some nachos to satisfy concert goers

Attended the XG concert on 10/04! Had an amazing time and loved their setlist. However, I feel very strongly that the handling of this event was overwhelming to staff and therefore reflected negatively on security. While many of the ushers were kind, I did not think that they were prepared for the sheer number of attendees. I don't believe the event was over-sold, but I do feel like the organizing for GA standing-room was too crowded, and the check-in / service desk was equally crowded... I think a little more back-end organization can help this venue out. I did think it was smart for them to move the waiting area across two ballrooms, but the sheer crowd size vs venue size was a lot.

ABC! Haircut 100! Howard Jones! It's a 1980s extravaganza!!! Can you dig it!!! Great seats, great venue. Live it up you're in Las Vegas for cryin' out loud!

When I found out that my favorite band, Motionless in White, was coming back to Las Vegas, as a super fan I just had, had, HAD to see them yet again. This was my tenth time seeing them (yep, that's right, tenth) - I saw them every year beginning in 2013 (twice in 2017 and 2018), until COVID restrictions in 2020 and 2021 snapped my yearly streak. Their opening bands were Alphawolf, After the Burial, and Knocked Loose, which I've never heard of.There was no line when we got there, which made entering the venue easy and simple. I've seen countless concerts here back when it was called The Joint (and way back before it was expanded), but this was my first concert under the Virgin Hotels name. I bought general admission tickets and though we were a little further back closer to the bar area, we still had a great view of the stage. The sound quality was decent and leaving the theater was easy breezy, just the way I remember it. The venue hasn't really changed at all when it was converted from The Joint.Drink prices were not great, but at the same time, however, they were better than the drink prices at Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood. I had a sprite/vodka cocktail and my boyfriend had a coke/run cocktail. Both cocktails were a total of $35, which is what you expect at a concert in Vegas.Motionless in White put on a fantastic performance (as always) and I can't wait to see them again!

We saw the incredible M83 perform here a few weeks ago which also happened to be our first time at this venue. I really liked the overall layout of the venue; it was super easy to move around and get from our seats, to the bar area, and restrooms. The bar was also quick & efficient with friendly bartenders who were slinging some super strong drinks! I knocked a star because this is 100% a GA Standing room is best type of venue. We had front row seats, but because all rows are pretty much floor level (meaning there was hardly any incline/stadium type seating) it was tough to see the stage with all the GA people standing. We ended up ditching our seats halfway through and asked security if we could just stand in GA instead (they let us through, yay) - the view & experience was way better there than at our seats. FYI to anyone booking a VIP seat/table, the floor level ones are a joke. They're at the back of the GA floor so you can't see anything. The group at the VIP table in front of our regular seats complained the whole time about how they couldn't see. The VIP tables on the 2nd floor would be way better, but note that they are really far back from the stage in comparison to the regular seats. I do love this venue and we'll be back, but I would only ever do GA for future shows.

We attended an orchestral concert and we were able to obtain seating on the floor area closest to the stage. I'm short so I was a bit worried about someone tall sitting in front of me and blocking my view since it's not super tilted or anything. But because the stage is raised, I was still able to see ok once the people seated in front of me took their position. They don't allow any water bottles in the venue so you either have to leave it outside unattended, throw it away or take it back to your vehicle. Some people decided to leave their elaborate bottles outside on the ground against the wall and we overheard that someone just came around and either took them all away or threw them away. The Huz was wondering if they had a cup of ice water available but was told that the only water they have available is a bottled one you must purchase. Capitalism is alive and well. LOL! I get it though. Overall it was a good experience. The air conditioning worked well. Parking is free. We enjoyed our concert. But is it the best concert venue I've been to? No.

I would give this venue a ZERO if I could particularly for an usher and supervisor (NHH - No Hospitality Here). If you want have a fun time at a concert definately don't go here which is a shame since they have good musical groups perform. I bought my wife a ticket, center towards the front, because I was going to be out of town but ended up getting a ticket since my plans changed. I tried to get a ticket near her but nothing was available so I chose a seat, like I normally do, off to the side and towards back so when I stand I am not blocking the view of those behind me (makes me wonder sometimes why I even care but I am considerate). One usher decides to single me out, perhaps because I am by myself, older and too excited about the concert (I figure they always assume I am intoxicated or something, but I don't drink and usally get water or a club soda with lime which is what I had this particular time). He decides tell me to stay right in front of my seat and out of the aisle. The second time he tells me that he has warned me twice which then I decided I am going to call him out for singling me out. I tell him I am not in the middle of the aisle like he makes it out. I maybe am a foot to half my body out occasionally mainly because I don't want to bump into the person to my left since the seats are so close. I also ask him why other people in front of me can be out in the aisle and even a group of people in the aisle up by the stage but they don't say anything to them. I am ok with enforcing rules but you can't selectively enforce them against someone because you think they are trouble, I think they call that profiling. I tell him to get his supervisor to come talk to me and I tell her the same thing. I tell her, just to tell him to just leave me alone to enjoy the concert without harrasment. Also, I ask why he had to tell me he warned me twice and what happens on the third or forth time, do you kick me out for having fun? What exactly is the policy for warning me? She of course could not tell me. She asks if I want to be relocated, so I ask her if I can move to an empty seat near my wife or just go stand back in Sections 101 and 102. And she tell me no those are all taken and full. Ok, now I am totally confused, why did you offer to relocate me when you really had no intentions of really doing it? Also, it is not very smart to devulge your security vulnerabilities by telling me that you normally could pull up the security video to verify that I wasn't out in the middle of the aisle, like they made it seem like I was, but then tell me that the camera doesn't cover this area that has a major exit near it. So after that I make sure my right foot stays in my assigned seat area like a good boy and try to forget about it. After Howard Jones in already several songs into his set list, my wife texts me and tell me the two ladies next to her left the concert and says I can move next to her. So I did, and I tell her, I wonder how long until they come in tell me that I have to move back to my assigned seat. It wasn't but a few minutes until security did. At this point, I know they are watching me so I go back to my seat and decided to just sit down and look at my phone (the joy was finally killed and they successfully shut me down). Meanwhile, I watch people move around to different seats as other people leave the concert early and nothing is said to anyone else (people also in aisle). There was one security personnel that my wife and I talked to after the show who was decent (we agreed that my confronting the usher brought extra attention to myself). I figured that the hotel security was told to watch me which really seems outrageous that they would really waste the resouces on me rather than really watching the crowd and facility to protect the concert goers (makes me realize they have their security priorities messed up). I really don't know what happened to the old concert days. I remember in the 80s and 90s it is much different those days, and as a performer, I got to think you have to be disappointed in the lack of energy and enthusiasm from suppression of the audience. A few other things about the venue itself, although it only takes one bad thing to negate any good things. The view from most sections is good, the venue tends to get hot as the evening goes on (the lady in front of me had to sit down and fan herself, but I watched her to make sure she was doing ok), the seats on the floor are too close together making it uncomfortably crowded, the lighting is good but the sound was not correct during the first set that Haircut 100 performed (the lead singer's microphone was either not working correctly or not transmitting to speakers correctly so you couldn't hear him well), free parking, and other staff members taking tickets, screening entry and bartenders were friendly. Overall, my concert experience was ruined (think twice and hard about attending this venue - $100+ wasted).

We loved The Theater. We saw Midland on December 7th. Sound quality was excellent,perfect size for a more intimate concert. Would definitely revisit it if there was something we wanted to see. The lounge and bars in the Virgin were really cool.

Saw the Catch you on the rebound tour here Saturday night. We saw War, The Whispers and The Miracles. I'm only giving this venue 3 stars because I was very disappointed on how long it took the stage crew to set up after each act it wasted a lot of time. The Miracles went on last & were rushed by an employee saying they only had two minutes left. She came into the stage while they were performing. I'm not in this industry but feel it could have been handled differently.
