Norm K. "For several years, the theatre company Poor Richard's Players has not had a home of their own. Now they do and it's called The Playhouse.Located on Decatur Boulevard near Arizona Charlies, the Playhouse is a space in progress as pointed out last night by one of the company's founders. The space can be configured in any number of ways, and I look forward to seeing future shows of PRP and see how the directors choose to use the space.For the inaugural show, they are doing Lizzie the Musical, a musical about Lizzie Borden. There are four very talented women who do the roles and there ism a wonderful live band which is great!I'd recommend this theatre company to anyone. They do good work. And, I'm glad they have a home of their own, the Playhouse!"

Big Top Circus and Burlesque

Big Top Circus and Burlesque

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

Cassandra B. "Melody Sweets, the Green Fairy from Absinthe, organized this special showing with help from Frank Marino's Divas (so she said) to benefit the UNLV College of Fine Arts. Titled "Big Top Circus and Burlesque!", Melody's show was more burlesque and comedy than circus but highly entertaining nonetheless. Tickets for the general public were $20-25, but UNLV students gained admission to the event for only $15! The show was just around an hour and ten minutes long. The show got off to a late start. It was supposed to start at midnight but they didn't actually start admitting people in until a little after 12AM. The show eventually started at 12:30AM. They say there isn't a bad seat in the house at the Spiegeltent at Caesars Palace, but I'd disagree. The seats are basic, i. e., uncomfortable, chairs bound together by zip ties. At least they're eclectic! There's no rise to the seating, so if you're sitting behind someone taller than you, you're SOL. The stage is in the center and all the chairs are arranged in a circle around it. I will say this, during some parts of the show the stage does rise, giving the audience a better view of the performers. The show started off with a comedic rendering of the national anthem, most of which I did not see because of poor viewing. After Melody Sweets and the whole cast did their opening number, the first act was an aerial act with two women who hung above the audience twirling about on a large hoop. There was some accidental nipple action (clothing malfunction), but the performer just grinned and kept performing, nipple out and all. The second acts was when a large older woman came out covered in balloons and smoking a cigarette, popping her balloons till she was practically naked. The third main act was another female duo doing breathtaking acrobatic stunts above the audience in the air. The finale was a tight rope act that literally had me holding my breath. All the major acts were filled with smaller comedic acts, the favorite of which was when an older gentleman went on stage in whitey tighties and did a "strong man" act with a blow up sex doll. Almost every act performed was greeted with a standing ovation. Melody Sweets had a few solo numbers and provided most of the musical aspects to the show. Me and my date overall really enjoyed the show. I would leap at the chance to see the next show Melody Sweets puts on.YELP 100 CHALLENGE 2015: #159"

The show is very entertaining and a wonderful journey thru the life and career of Johnny Cash. We loved the selection of songs (both well know and deep tracks as well).

Allison B. "This is a brand new show at the V theatre. Being a local I hate having to pay to park but at Miracle Mile shops where this theatre is located offers free parking . Since this is brand new I had no idea what to expect from the show . I just know I love Gaga and Brit so why not ? Especially since it allowed my children . It was a Monday night show that we attended so our audience wasn't as interactive as the prior review posted but I for one was singing along . The show started off with Madonna and I quickly noticed how amazing the dancers were . These guys impressed me sooooo much they legit went non stop the whole show . They definitely connect with the audience and have major skills . They are lots of fun to watch I sadly didn't catch their names but they rock and are easy on the eyes . Next up was Britney Spears tribute artist and she looks so much like the real deal and personally I feel she sings better than the original. If you enjoy the music and love the idea of seeing a live performance with sexy guys talking about being a womanizer or toxic not to mention hit me baby one More time .Last but not least is Lady Gaga played by @VegasChristina who stole the show with her piano standing skills and cheerful vibe she is the one who interacted with us most of the show and her Gaga is Amazing .Personally I am excited to see this show again the next time one of my pals visits because all the videos I posted to Snapchat had my friends believing that I was seeing a real concert but this is nice fun song and dance experience that is child friendly and showcases real talent .Plus the waitress who is working the theatre beverages was super awesome .I hope this show ends up sticking around but either way it was tons of fun for my family since I'm a baller on a budget this fills my fix for sexy blonde pop stars .I can't give you a breakdown in the same way the other review did but I will say this is a group of amazing dancers , awesome females & enjoyable nostalgia."

Renee N. "First time at this new theater was last week. I had been wanting to see Past Lives and checked their website and they were showing on a Friday afternoon. I was able to purchase my tickets online. The cost was $10 a good deal. I arrived and was able to secure a parking spot right outside the theater. They open the doors about 15 minutes before showtime. When I walked in, I was so impressed with how clean and pristine the theater is. The aisle leading to the theater has some classic old movie posters framed which is a nice touch.The snack bar is really a treat. Along with candies of all kinds, they offer both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks to purchase. I saw soda, water, wine, beer, kombucha and some white claw, and there were other drinks too. They also offer popcorn and Beverly Theater merchandise.Staff was very friendly and were able to answer any and all questions. When it was time to enter the theater, I went first so I could get a pic of the seating (minus people). The seats are not as comfortable as some of the luxury theaters but they aren't uncomfortable. They are just a little stiff. The screen itself is not as big as your normal theater but that is because this room is also used for other events such as poetry readings and concerts. Since the Village Square theater has now closed here is where you will find foreign films, older films and more culturally diverse films. Overall my experience here was great. The movie was good, the sound was clear and the theater stayed cool and comfortable. This space features a bright white outdoor patio and another outdoor space upstairs. One of the staff informed me that on the weekends, there is live jazz music performed by various groups and it's on the upstairs patio. It is free to attend.I am so glad this theater opened and can't wait to attend more movies and events here."

I came here for a special Juneteenth Black Swan Hour program put on my Vegas City Opera. Before the show, I got a chance to view their annual art contest. This is special about this Arts Center--even when there isn't a large art display, there is a small gallery that almost always has art to enjoy.Ticketing is done by the City of Las Vegas using the Ovation Tix platform and having your ticket on the phone is super easy and convenient. The staff is always pleasant and helpful.We are fortunate to have spaces like this run by the city and/or county. It really makes our community richer!"

Stefany V. "I like trying new things, from dishes I haven't heard of to unusual entertainment options. A few friends put LVLT on my radar, and I took a colleague to check out the local community theater scene with The Birds. Online ticket ordering process was easy, location is not difficult to find, plenty of parking, and the staff are welcoming. Our show didn't have an intermission, which might be a bit of a blessing because the chairs began to get uncomfortable.The performance wasn't what I expected, and was only vaguely related to the original source material. I'll blame the writing rather than the acting for my disappointment, and note that the audio, lighting, etc were all good. But the story itself had some (intentional?) plot holes and didn't come together cohesively, and there was a lot of profanity that served no purpose. Just not for me, I guess. Many of the audience members around us seemed to be season ticket holders, and as we exited, even they were commenting that this was one of the strangest performances they'd seen here, so I'll keep an eye on future shows and maybe give something else a try."

We went here on a girl's night and had an absolute blast. Although we initially got in a little bit of trouble (talking too loudly, it was the alcohol, not us, I swear), but Kent put us in our place quickly and with a great sense of humor. He is very good at what he does to the point of creepiness, and I mean this as a compliment.... Seriously, is he really talking to the dead or is this an act??? I would highly recommend seeing his show, however dress warmly, my girlfriend who is always hot, was freezing! Feels like you are in the East Antarctica Plateau with nothing on.Side Note: This is in the 1923 Prohibition Bar speakeasy located in the Mandalay Bay, upstairs from House of Blues and adjacent to Minus5º Ice Experience."

His voice, his moves, he is the real deal and why he has a show at Alexis Park Resort.The venue is not huge and there is not a bad seat in the house. He had the ladies screaming and the guys a smiling.If you've never seen this show, it's a cool venue, easy to get to and he puts on an amazing show.I highly recommend this show, you'll be All Shook UP!!!"

I enjoyed watching him, even though I've seen some of the tricks before at the Magic Castle in LA but he also have tricks that i have never seen before. It is an appropriate show for kids so you can bring the whole family. He interacts with the kids so if you want them to participate, try to sit in the first or second row. This show is very small, you'll be able to sit anywhere and see the close-up magic. I bought a VIP package off the Nathan Burton website and it included Armando Vera. The VIP package is a great deal, it was only $25. I would not pay more for it. Overall, it was fun to watch if you like close-up magic"

Suzanne W. "Went to see this show on a Saturday night. The show is actually in the chateau night club. It's hosted by a fabulous drag queen and its a coed burlesque dancing show with four guys and four girls. This show was definitely done tastefully. No real nudity is shown because all the dancers wear pasties to cover their nipples. But it is risqué and raunchy! I had a great time. The dancers had great routines and it was overall very entertaining. They dapple in different types of dance including Polynesian hula dancing, pole dancing, a little bit of contemporary ballet, jazz etc. The highlights of the show for me we're definitely from the women. There was a sensual dance involving a shower that was incredible and sexy! I love the pole dance. That girl was so strong and graceful she pulled her body up that pole like no other. The hostess was funny and entertaining as well. I would recommend seeing it!"

Eric B. "This was a fun albeit different show from Criss's Mindfreak. It's fairly new, and it's a collaboration involving the Cirque de Soleil director. So, you can expect some Cirque elements. There was a contortionist and some acrobatics as well as that overall surreal dream vibe you get from Cirque shows. This show also features several new magicians, so you will have a little less exposure to Criss. They're good, though, including a very impressive reenactment of Houdini's escape from a straight jacket while submerged in water. The show is supposed be the story of Criss's life, but it was a bit hard too follow that story. Maybe they are still working on the story since the show is new. Definitely worth checking out, especially now while they're offering package deals for both shows or a discount if you come back another time to check out Amystika."

I have always been overwhelmed by the exquisite expertise of the dance numbers. So carefully choreographed. It is beyond sexy and tests the limits of universal sexuality.The ladies all come out after the show and take photos and converse with the guests. Very interactive.Its located at Planet Hollywood on the strip on the Mezzanine level. Park in valet and the elevators are off to the right of the entrance.

There are some VIP tables right in front of the stage and then several rows of seats. It's small enough that there really isn't a bad seat in the place.There were just a handful of dancers - all blonde. Two were really good. The rest were ho-hum. Some of the costumes were good, some were terrible. The music selection was good. And some of the dance scenes were really well done. And some were just awkward.The show is divided into two parts with a comedian in between. The comedian was actually pretty funny. She was definitely one of the better parts of the show.All in all, I was quite entertained and I never once wondering "is this almost over yet?". So in my book, that makes it a success."

Helene S. "Mission: Find a show on Christmas Eve for the family that meets the following requirements.Not a cirque du soleil.Not a magician.Not a burlesque.Not a comedian. Not a singer.Not too expensive. Not too late. Not sold out. Well, that limited the options. I actually did not cast my vote. Sometimes with families, it is better that way.So after much discussion and reviews of the options, the in-laws decided to see the Ultimate Variety Show. Bought the tickets online for a show the next day. It is sort of a cross between the variety shows from old Vegas and what you might see on a cruise ship. The theater is....retro and intimate. All of the seats, except a few obstructed with a supporting beam, have a good view of the stage. If you sit close, you might become part of the show.The MC, Wally Eastwood, kept the flow as well as doing some assorted tricks like juggling, jokes and playing the piano with a tennis ball. The other acts of included a very good magician, a balancing duo, a hoop specialist, and a comedian. The Crazy Gauchos lived up to their name with their crazy drum routine. The show changes regularly, so you never know what acts you might see. Tickets were just $50 with taxes and fees on Vegas.com. Show starts at 7 PM. Located in Planet Hollywood, you can still see traces of the old Aladdin Casino as you wait for the show. A good choice for a family friendly show."

Dani S. "Old school nostalgic show. It's still very good, but it just pales in comparison to some of the newer shows. The theater is small and really really old the sound and the technology is from 20 years ago and you can tell it to age. After we sat down, we could smell peoples vomit that was left behind from previous shows. It was quite disgusting. The singer and dancers are obviously very talented, and the tribute to the legends of Las Vegas back in the 40s 50s and 60s was nice. But in the current year 2023 there's just so many other shows to choose from. Unfortunately, it just lacks any wow factor.Definitely would not come back again."

They actually bring girls on stage (usually the ones who ordered VIP tickets) you also get free rhinestone panties, meet and greet pictures with the guys and a lap dance/show. My cousin's guy turned out to be the hottest one (a former Janice Dickinson model). She was happy and the rest of the girls had fun and I got to shove a dollar bill down some guy's underwear (after trying to hand it to him - I know I'm a prude) so all in all a great experience."

So, for the content I was somewhat prepared and the nail gun "trick" was something I have seen specifically done before by someone else, maybe Penn and Teller? Either way, it doesn't matter. Gerry McCambridge not only does an outstanding job but he is literally The Mentalist.From the internet: "In 2002 Gerry wrote his first TV script titled "The Mentalist" and took it out to Los Angeles to pitch it to the major networks. Jeff Zucker, the president of NBC witnessed Gerry's live performances many times, and instantly licensed the special for his network. Gerry became the creator, executive producer and star of the hit prime-time network television special "The Mentalist" which started airing to 6.2 million viewers in the United States on May 12, 2004."The audience interaction is what a show like this is about and Gerry not only does a great job but the venue itself is small enough to make it work for nearly every seat."

I don't recommend that you bring children and if you're one that gets offended easily... this might not be the kind of comedy show for you. But in my opinion, I found him entertaining and talented.

Norm K. "I have been attending A Public Fit programs (plays, staged readings, and Outbursts) since I answered the Summons From the Tinker to Assemble on October 15, 2015. In that time, I have seen 28 of their productions and it has been a wonderful ride with the various casts. One thing first--A Public Fit is no longer at the address listed on this review page. The company lost its performing space there and have been at two different places since.The company now does several staged readings a year at the Clark County Library. The programs were so successful that the company moved from the library's small Jewel Box Theatre to the main theatre. For their staged shows, they have been using the Super Summer Studio Theatres.The thing that keeps me coming back is the fact that their works are not plays that have been performed in other theaters in Las Vegas. The company picks scripts that make you think and many times grab you with a white hot intensity, and they send you home often to do some further research.Under the leadership of Ann Marie Pareth and Joseph Kucan, one can always expect to come away from a production moved in some way.After each show, there is a brief intermission and then there is "The Buzz." During the Buzz, members of the cast answer questions and there's a give and take from the audience that stays for the Buzz and the cast and Joe. Questions are answered and sometimes new ones are generated!The area is richer for having this wonderful company continue in its 10th year. Support them. They deserve it!"

Great costumes, wigs, energy, singing and dancing.Our table was right up in the front, so we had a good view. I like how they engaged along with the audience. Great selections of some good ole back in the day music. It made me reminisce about the good times, when we had fun and didn't have to worry about the things going on in this world today. We also received dinner with our tickets. My only complaint was the food and the process of signing in to be seated.

I liked that he involved the audience as well during the show. There are food and beverage options there as well if you wanted to have dinner while enjoying the show. You are seated at tables and there is a waitress/server that comes around. The show was located inside the Delirious Showroom inside of Hennessey's Tavern. So just be aware of that when you are walking in with kids. If you are concerned with walking around Fremont in the evening with children, we parked at the Fremont Street Experience Parking Garage and took the elevator down and Hennessey's Tavern is close by so you do not have to walk far from there."

Susan R. "This place I was referred to through a friend in the community, whom knows the performer. He is really amazing. In this lecture it was all on the importance of cats throughout history and on the high seas. He was very animated and knowledgeable on the subject talking and lecturing for about an hour. With a slide show presentation, lights, and audio. One of the tidbits of information that I learned about cats is Sam the cat was decorated by the British government and died on board the ship he loved for being quarantined as an immigrant died of a broken heart in a cage. But his sailing comrades made sure he had a funeral with a Union Jack and a wonderful funeral, and that no one forgets about cats at sea. It was very informative.This business wants to continue this lecture and others like it in the future for the community to be informed and knowledgeable about events.

This show is the absoulutely the best show we have seen in Las Vegas! Wow, what an amazing show, top notch, and a must see if you visit Las Vegas!! T his show as it all, it is classy, intriguing, entertaining and truely amazing. Dita Von Teese herself is simply beautiful, sophiticated, classy, aluring and captivating. The other male and female performers in this show also wonderful and exhibit the same qualities. The costumes, music, dance, choreography, and props used throught out the show were extraordinary and stunning. We were seated along the runway about 1/4 from the mainstage and had a wonderful view of the entire show since the performances and acts utilize the entire mainstage and runway. Some of our favorites were of course the pink mechanical bull and champagne glass performances (but we have to say all performances and acts were wonderful). We definately want to see Dita Von Teese again and perhaps get seats a little further back more in the center of the venue just to get a better overall view of the show. My wife also noted that there were some additional performances and acts added since the last one she had seen recently at the Jubilee Theater. This review is for the show itself and not the venue, I will review the Voltaire itself seperately. Right now Dita Von Teese is only scheduled select Thur thru Sun nights at 9pm until mid-Dec and hopefully they will add more shows in 2025 (no photos or video are allowed during show itself which is understandable)."

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."

We love the selection of song performed to include Tina Turner, Cher, Donna Summers, Gloria Gaynor, Linda Ronstadt and Pat Benatar. These performers were awesome and can really sing! The backup singers and dancers were also great. And you got to just love the stage production and costumes. I even got pulled up on stage for one song, which I usually don't want to do, but I figured what the heck since I was having so much fun (nothing better than several beautiful women dancing and singing around you - my comment was that I must of died and went to heaven). We also love the Pegasus showroom at the Alexis. This venue is quaint, sound and lights great, staff is helpful and friendly, and parking free. The best thing was that the entire cast did a meet and greet photo opportunity at the end of the show. Thank you for a wondeful evening of entertainment and the once in a life time stage experience!"

It is free to walk inside, relax, and enjoy a peaceful setting. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy selfies and take a photo.Looking forward to returning and watching the laser and light show, maybe during winter when the park comes alive with its lighted trees and snow-covered lampstands and all the wintery stuff during the holiday season.Sam's Town is in East Las Vegas... probably a good 20 mins from The Strip.

Norm K. "This show is a jukebox musical of 19 songs strung together with lots of talk by the 4 characters who portray the women who have been ditched, dumped, divorced, and are dating. The show starts out at a speed dating venue and the 4 characters lay some groundwork for the show ahead.The good part of this show is the singing. All four women do a great job and they do a credible job signing the songs that we know that were done by someone else. My favorite number was "It's My Turn" sung by the characters DeeDee and Kate near the end of the show. This would be referred to as the 11 o'clock number if it was a Broadway show. These two really belt it out!!In between the songs, I tended to wander mentally. There's a lot of talking. Much of this is more pertinent and understandable by the women in the audience. "I peed a little" brought many women to huge laughs and hearty applause while gaining a smile from me. The scene about painting the soles of the shoes red went so far over my head I thought the roof would have been blown away. I simply didn't get it but the women did.From a staging standpoint, they use the small Shimmer Cabaret very well! There are scenes projected on two screens at different times to represent two different apartments of the women in the show. That way, one or two pieces of furniture with the background projection can suffice for an apartment living room. The lighting is well done and the sound levels were good. Periodically there's a bit of a minor problem with the singer not being exactly on with the prerecorded music used but that was minor.I think if I were to recommend improvements in the show, I'd cut a number or two from the music and try to develop the characters a bit more without having them just be 4 women who throw out one liners. Unfortunately, there's a digital clock hung from the ceiling and I could see it very well from where I was sitting and I tended to look at it too many times during the talking phases.And a 14 year drought? That's a long time my dear! You need to get out more often and that section is ground into the floor."

Joe M. "I attended the 6-week "Yes, and..." course and had a blast! It was incredibly fun and I looked forward to Saturdays so that I could see the rest of the troupe. Ryan and Natalie were amazing instructors, and I loved their energy and dedication to seeing all of the troupe succeed, even the folks who were more quiet or shy.I'd absolutely recommend it anybody looking to build confidence, have fun, and try something new!"
