Was visiting Vegas and thought I'd check out a comedy show that aligned with my traveling dates. Saw that this was the spot to go to, and got VIP tickets to one of their evening shows. Definitely plan to go early because the GPS will drop you off to the parking lot and then you will still have to walk another 10-15 minutes before you reach the venue. It's inside the Rio Hotel and you have to take the elevator to the fourth floor from the parking lot. The venue itself was hard for me to find inside and I even had to ask a few people for directions. Eventually, I reached there twenty minutes late but the woman who checked me in assured me that the show had just started. After being seated, I had a great time! Jimmy Kimmel was hosting the showcase and it was great seeing him live in person. It also didn't take the server too long to reach me for my order. I got nachos, some ginger beer, and had some great laughs :) The nachos were delicious! Highly recommend if you're in the area and just need some laughter therapy. read more

DONT LAUGH WHILE AT THIS VENUE. Local here 35 years. Trust me Go somewhere else. 3 of us Took my sister here for her 67 the b day after 3 weeks of planning. Went for a nice dinner first. Brandon the casino " manger" asked us to leave for laughing too loud.. we asked what the problem was and he said we were laughing too loud. Don't waste your time here .. Strat has a great show and town square. Have fun!! read more

I haven't been to too many comedy shows but this one was well worth it especially for how reasonable the price is for VIP seats! It was hubby's birthday last weekend & his aunt kindly treated us out to the show for his birthday. The place is small but packed ofc for a Saturday night. As we walked in, it was awesome to see a wall of so many photos of celebrities & other comedians that have visited here. There were 4 main comedians that performed that night & 1 comedian as an opening act. All 4 comedians were talented & hilarious in their own way. We laughed a lot & enjoyed watching the interaction between the comedians & some of audience that sat in the front row. I absolutely like that it's an adults only show & cell phones & cameras are strictly enforced. We noticed there was a bar to order food/drinks but wehad dinner prior to the show so we just ordered a cocktail & water during the show. It was expensive as expected but service was great & efficient. Parking is free if we would've drove but we took the Lyft instead in case we were going to stay out late & didn't want to drive. I'm definitely coming back here whenever I visit vegas again in the future. read more

I have no idea how they are in the number 1 comedy. Super disappointing, sorta funny maybe. But no. Wouldn't go again.

It's not just the first west coast outpost of famed Comedy Cellar -- it's the first location anywhere outside of NYC. Opened nearly seven years ago, the Vegas outpost has done a remarkable job matching the vibe of the West Village original. It looks nearly identical, but with some welcome upgrades: better acoustics, improved ventilation, and significantly more seating(#1). Instead of squeezing down a narrow basement staircase, one can take a relaxed stroll through The Rio's convention space and casino to get there. Upon entrance, folks familiar with the iconic NYC version will take delight in the brick walls, stained-glass signage, low ceilings, celebrity photo frames, and the cozy, underground feel. The lineup rotates regularly, but there's almost always a crowd forming prior to every show. Every performance features five headliner-level comics, and the quality is consistently solid--withthe occasional surprise guest appearance. There is a laugh focused, no-heckling policy, and phone use or talking during sets is strictly prohibited. Security does a decent job of enforcing this, thought it didn't entirely stop some audience chatter during my visit (#2). Service was efficient and not extremely pushy about enforcing any kind of a drink minimum. Drinks were understandably expensive, but I sipped my $8 bottle of Dasani like it was the last one on the planet. The $15 margarita was small'ish in which one would have to order a good amount to feel anything. (#3) The tickets are reasonably priced, typically ranging from $25 to $45 depending on the night. It's an adults-only venue and parking at the Rio is free. I feel the addition of the Comedy Cellar has injected new energy intot his off-Strip property and I can't wait to come back again. _____________ (#1) 300 seat capacity to be exact. That's awesome. (#2) The same kind of folks who will talk in a movie theater during a pivotal moment in the film. (#3) Perhaps that was the point all along. read more

Great show last night, especially Kathleen Dunbar! She was awesome. I think the scheduled lineup is mostly the same the rest of this week. Certainly worth catching a show! read more

Shoutout to my server Princess (i think that was her name). I ended up losing my debit card and she helped me try to find it - she has awesome service as is but I really appreciated her help in trying to find it! It was unfortunately lost to the void but thanks girl! I really appreciate the effort! This place is fun and the comedians they had tonight were great. Thanks Comedy Cellar Las Vegas! read more

What a great unique date night idea. Talent can always be hit or miss but we were lucky enough to share some tear inducing laughs the night we went. Our only gripe would have been the rundown Rio hotel the cellar is located in but the comics made up for it by clowning the hotel's decor. read more

Comedy Cellar - VIP front row seating - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Such an amazing experience, I highly recommend! Our preferred seats were worth it. Loved the different vibes each comedian offered, this was our lineup and we loved every single one of them (Mark Cohen, Eric Neumann, Greer Barnes, Jason Cheny, and Helen Hong). Delicious dirty Shirley drink! And friendly bartender! We will definitely love to come to another show soon, we laughed so much. read more

Had a good time at the show here! All the acts did really well! I didn't know them prior to coming but I look forward to what they get into next! They were out of a few things on the menu but it wasn't big deal I just got something else. It's a very cozy spot and if you book VIP you're practically on the stage with them. read more

Literally one of the best comedy shows I've been to in Vegas. All of the comedians were HILARIOUS like on a continuum. There was no downtime between jokes. Went on a Sunday night and was honestly surprised how packed the audience was on a Sunday. Ambiance is a small quaint theater, with dim lighting and very cozy seating placements. read more

Incredible value for great comedy. In a town full of entertainment, the laughs/minute offered by the comedians here is amazing. There was a special Yelp offer posted in the page that bumped our seats to a better tier - that was super great.

We had a great time at the Comedy Cellar. We liked 2 of the 4 comedians, but that was OK, as not everyone's sense of humor is for everyone else. Our favorite was Chloe Hilliard. She was fantastic! We laughed so hard. The drinks were a decent price considering we were at an event. And the best part is that there was no drink minimum. The Rio (where the Comedy Cellar is located) is upsetting because nobody was in the casino! I don't know how they are making ends meet. I mean it was practically deserted. But again, the Comedy Cellar was fun. read more

Funny! Funny! Funny!! Oh man, oh man, what a great time! A group of my friends and I went to see a comedy show as a part of a bachelor's party event one night, and we paid for the VIP seats, which got us squarely up front, just inches away from the stage. This, of course, meant we got jokes cracked on us pretty much by each comedian that went on stage. And it was awesome!! Haha. Totally worth it!!! All of the comedians were great, but our favorite was a guy named Trixx. He had us dying! The staff were really good too. They helped up in several ways. The place was packed! Honestly, my group and I said this place is probably the only reason the Rio is even still open! (Sorry Rio lol) Amazing show, and I highly recommend! read more

Hands down one of the best affordable, and funny comedy clubs in Vegas! We spontaneously popped into the Comedy Cellar on a Saturday night. No problem grabbing tickets from the box office and locals even get a discount. We walked right in and sat in the VIP section, which is just seating that is closer to the comedians. I think all three tiers of seating are good options and have great views of the stage as the venue is on the smaller side. Each section has a server that will bring your drinks. There is also a selection of bar bites to order from. As for the comedians, we were non stop laughing the whole hour and a half show. Host and four comedians were great! read more

Service was good. Didn't have any food. Show started 15 minutes late. Not acceptable. Don't advertise a 9:30 start and then wait til 9:45. The two Asian comics were funny. MC and others were just ok. read more

We were chased away from the drinks line and told service inside. We sat and waited the whole show hoping for at least some water. No one served our table. The comedians were a mixed bag but mostly mediocre. The experience was a disappointment. read more

Really fun night and so affordable. Several really funny comedians, so there are a variety of comics vs. just one comedian. Small venue, so there are no bad seats. read more

We were given the most horrible service by our server D she ignored us and refused to serve us because she was "" too busy when she wasn't we watch her the whole time she did not have a full tray in and a full tray out we both work in service we were beyond disappointed . It was not until Lindsay helped us grab a drink which wasn't in her section. She was the only one who acknowledges us along with Mike the food and beverage manager. read more

We had a great time at the Comedy Cellar in Las Vegas! The lineup was solid, with a mix of hilarious comedians that kept the energy high all night with Trixx stealing the show at the end. It's located at the Rio and the intimate setting really made the experience feel personal, and the staff was friendly and efficient Althoughthe tickets were affordable, the drinks were a bit on the pricier side, but hey it's Vegas, so it's expected. Overall, a fun ending to a great night out that was filled with laughter. Given the price and overall experience, we'll definitely be back! read more

Good lineup. Bar was very plain and doesn't have any food but expensive packaged snacks. Eat before you go inside

If you ever take a trip to Vegas, bookmark this place and get tickets to a show. Of course there are always different acts every time but it seems like they always book really funny people. It is located at the Rio hotel and the place itself looks much older and semi run down but it's actually really nice and not too big. They have a bar before you go in so you can grab a drink or two. We sat vip so we were right in front of the stage. I'm always scared to sit in front because of getting in the spotlight. I had to use the bathroom so when I came back, I sure did get put in a joke lol! It was super funny and I had a ball. There were 4 acts and even the host was hilarious. It was Mark Cohen from Comedy Central and he was amazing. You won't be disappointed if you go. read more

Came here since we have family in town that wanted to watch a show or something. Located in the Rio, we had a table of 5. Waitress took forever to come around to take our drink orders so we ended up going to the bar. The 5 we had the second one was the funniest and the rest was meh. They have snacks you can purchase as well. read more

4th time going there (every January). The "host" uses same lines every year but he is funny. One of the traveling comedians was the same guy as last year with some new material and some of the same jokes. Drink prices are outrageous (as are most places in Vegas). Ticket prices aren't horrible. Worth going to at least one. Not sure I'll go again next year. read more

Discount if you stay at Rio. 2 items purchase required per person, including snacks. (wine - $15, a bottle of water - $6, M&M - $5, soda - $4,) Don't buy ticket through Ticketmaster, the fees will double the cost. Go straight to the Box Office! The lineups are great! read more

Comedy Cellar - We had a great time for my birthday tonight #vegaslocal - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This place was one of the few bright spots in the run-down Rio Hotel and Casino. We love watching live comedy and enjoyed the comics here. We bought tickets a day before and had the VIP section, so we were close to the stage. It didn't get overly crowded for the early show so maybe we didn't need VIP, but it's good to know you're not way in the back. Some clubs have an odd layout which makes it hard to see. This was good. They do have a bar and prices were a bit high, but it's Vegas. At least they were a decent size though. I'd go here again for live comedy. read more

They say the best medicine is laughter. My sommelier friends would argue it's actually wine. And if you ask Snoop Dog, his cloud of smoke will tell you his thoughts on the subject. But before we dive into who's actually right, I've got 3 questions... 1) Who exactly are "They"? 2) Are my sommelier friends onto something or did they just have one glass too many?? 3) And Snoop, you always seem like such a chill dude, so I gotta ask...what's in that pipe? Lol And since I don't smoke, toke or vape... And I only drink socially... I'm going with Laughter is indeed the worlds best medicine! ----------------------------------------- Warning!!! Warning!!! Warning!!! Alright people, You've been Warned! Let's establish some ground rules. 1) Comedy is funny. 2) Some jokes may come across as crude. 3) Some jokes may come across as dark. 3) Do not take it personal if you get singled out in the audience. 4) Comedy is SUPPOSED to be fun (see rule #1) 5) Grab a drink, smoke something before the show, sit back, relax and be prepared to laugh your ass off! Our experience at the Comedy Cellar was an absolute blast and I highly (I'm talkin' Snoop Dogg High) recommend you add this to your agenda the next time you roll through Vegas. If you bring kids to Vegas like we did this last trip... Do like we did. Say Grandma, we goin' out, pizzas is on its way, Don't. Wait. Up. The night we went, we saw approximately 4 opening acts, then the Main act was Michael Yo! Each Comedian did their thang, and I was in stitches from start to finish. The venue is pretty small (which is a GOOD thing), so there is no such thing as a bad seat in the house. (Well unless you sit right in front of the stage, you're ass is definitely getting picked on) See Rule #3 & #4 At the end of the nigh we went, Michael Yo did a complimentary photo op with whomever wanted to snap a quick shot and was also selling his T-shirts with his logo. (The mans gotta pay bills somehow). It was the perfect end to our evening to be able to shake hands with the man who made me piss my pants. (Just kidding, maybe, not really). Haha In this day and age, more than Ever... We need to learn to laugh. Whether at ourselves or at others (in a positive light), We have to be able to except each other's differences, coexist and just not take things so serious all the time. Comedy helps us do this because after all... Laughter is the Best Medicine! read more

Comedy Cellar - 1000% recommend getting your Laugh On! - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The Comedy Cellar is located in the Rio. If you're staying on the strip, it's a ~$15 Uber ride each way. There's a bouncer at the entrance and they use a metal detector wand. Not sure if that made me feel more or less safe. Once you can get past all that, the comedians here are amazing! Dustin Ybarra made the trip worth it. He was so impressive that the next day, I looked him up on YouTube and watched all of his stand up. It was funny the second (and third!) time around! read more

I had such a good time at the Comedy Cellar at the Rio. The whole vibe is super laid back and the comics were actually hilarious -- like nonstop laughing the entire show. The staff kept everything moving smoothly, and the service was quick without being pushy. The room is the perfect size too, so it feels intimate without being cramped. Definitely worth checking out if you want a fun night out in Vegas. I'd go back again for sure. read more

Vegas local and go often. This weeks lineup seemed more like an amateur hour. The opener is the same guy every week who tells the same jokes. The supposed "headliner" just talked liberal politics his entire act and was out of line for demonizing and saying he has "no respect" for the men and women of ICE. I went to laugh and not get a warped liberals political report from someone who obviously doesnt know much and wasnt funny. Wont be back. read more

Good time and will be back. The night's host comedian, Tracy Skene, opened by chiding a group of cement conference attendees: She was Winging it, lightning speed, had the whole room busting up. Immediately followed by 4 other comics ( no waiting for the next appearance). The other 2 highlights were Matt Kirshin and Dustin Ybarra. Check out his youtube videos. All The seats have good sightlines. Negatives:- Drinks are on the weak side and they have a limited choice of cocktails. They did not know what a Zombie or a Saturn was. - Even in cold November, the AC is on, so bring a light jacket. read more

Very small club so don't be worried about getting a "good seat". Honestly, they're all good. If you're up front (first two rows) you're literally at the comedians "roast row" and they don't hold back. If you prefer to not get picked on or called all...opt for a seat further back. It's a great spot, super fun time. Check it out! You'll enjoy it! read more

We came for a show and had a great time, all of the comedians on the night we came were great!
