    This show was entertaining, however, a bit over priced in my opinion. The music was great and made you want to get out of your seat and dance. It ran a little too long and the venue was more of a lounge instead of a theater. It's a family friendly show that I think kids would enjoy. They definitely are not a head liner show but more of an opening act. The performers were great and good at what they do. Drinks and snacks are conveniently located on it side the lounge.

    Electric light is the new black. You won't want to miss out on watching iLuminate's electrified glow-in-the-dark dance routines at The Strat in Las Vegas. I love it so much I've seen it 3x already! Follow three friends as they sneak into a secret nightclub that takes them on a time-warped journey to experience the moves and sounds of Friday nights passed. From the Moulin Rouge's can-can dancers, to the Jazz age's kick ups, to the 1980's King of Pop's moonwalk and the birth of hip hop, join these friends as they navigate a wild night of dance and drinks in the dark. Las Vegas' most unique show is the brainchild of dancer and software engineer Miral Kotb. Created with the iLuminate tool, a revolutionary technology that Kotb engineered in 2009, it enables electrified costumes to be synchronised to the beat of music and the moves of the dancers' bodies to tell dynamic stories. Latest visit: February 2023

    Show - I rate about 7 Management- 0 We purchased tickets online. Our friends brought their 1 year old with them (with her noise cancelation headphones) we also called ahead of time and spoke with Jack to make sure bringing our friends child was OK. And he said yes. Jill made mention absolutely we couldn't bring the child in. I measured the sound and considering that we were in the BACK ROW against the wall the sound wasn't bad at all. It's unfortunate to come to Vegas on vacation and be turned away with kids. When clearly other children were allowed WITH STROLLERS. I do recommend booster chairs for children because the seats are all surface leveled hard to see from the back Jill- trying caring. And your sound wasn't "concert like" like you stressed about.

    Amazing show for the family and a good date night! We were seated about 2 rows from the tables. Amazing show-enjoyed all the music selections! I was singing all night! My favorite part was the MJ showcase!

    Great show at the Strat. They are from AGT and the show is around an hour. The show is almost completely dark and the dancers dance with LED lights that make the show! Great dancers and performers. The music is modern along with Michael Jackson hits! Would recommend this show. Staff at check in where super friendly and at the end of the show the performers have a meet and greet.

    This is an led show. It sounds simple but it is a great show. Tue performers were good dancers. I like the story line. We went to this show on a Sunday at 2pm and there were pretty full. The performers were interactive. Several ones of them interacted with the audience. I love the songs they chose. They had songs from Billlie Ellish, Imagine dragons, Michael Jackson and the Weekend.

    This show was absolutely outstanding. Great views no matter where you sit. Entertaining for the whole family. The dancing and mix of music with comedy was perfect for an afternoon.

    Great customer service. We lined up 30 Minutes early once the line started it moved fairly quickly. We had VIP seating so we were close to the stage. The show was great melted us engaged with the story line. The dancers were great they even joined the audience and asked one table (person) to go to the stage and dance. Your able to take photos and video omit the flash. Great show!!!

    Poster advertising iLuminate

    This is a must see show. 75 minutes of nonstop entertainment by a group of highly talented performers! As their advertising states, "the most fun you'll have in the dark". Their suits are lit up in neon lights to mimic the music and skit they're doing. The show does have a story line for you to follow. Kudos to the performers/dancers, production team, computer techs, etc. Some of you may remember them from America's Got Talent over 10 yrs ago. While they didn't win, they won in so many other ways from the exposure they got on tv. You're allowed to video or take pictures during the show. Just don't use your flash please. Here's a little clip. I won't give it all away. A few of them will come out to the lobby after the show to take pictures with you! Just go see them at The Stratosphere in Las Vegas!

    What the f*ck did I just watch?!…read more Go into this one knowing there is zero traditional storyline - and honestly, that's part of the charm! It's a collection of jaw-dropping circus acts, comedy, and "how is this even happening right now?" moments stitched together with a very loose thread. It's wild, a little raunchy, super impressive, and totally committed to its own chaos. The performers are insanely talented, and the energy in the room makes it feel like you're part of the show even when you're just sitting there trying to process what you just saw. Definitely not your typical Vegas production - but that's exactly why it works! Go in blind, lean into it, and just let it be weird.

I've seen this show twice, once opening night and then again in October 2023. I was in the first row stage left the first time, and the second row dead center the second time. The first time my view was blocked by a woman with very curly, poofy hair. The second time my view was blocked by everyone seated at the cocktail tables. The Duomo is a horrible venue because the seats are neither staggered nor graduated like stadium seating. The stage isn't high enough above the seating to give everyone a good view. I've seen X Country at Harrah's, Fantasy at Luxor, and Red Velvet Burlesque at Notoriety downtown - all of them have different seating and stage configurations for this sort of show, but you can actually see the performers. This show needs a different venue. They have Julia Flypole doing arial hoop work but it's like a 7 or 8 foot ceiling from the stage to the top. She also performs in Red Velvet Burlesque and her routine is from a silk that is easily two stories long. It's just not the same effect doing acrobatics and arial pole in such a short room. The show is a mix of singing and burlesque dancing set to rock-esque type music. There is no nudity in this show. Everyone has pasties on in addition to bra tops, unlike other showgirl burlesque shows. While it's obviously 18+ because it's burlesque, nothing is too risque, except the bathtub dance is a bit over the top raunchy for my taste. The dancing is good. The costuming is good. The singer actually has a good voice. The only problem is the venue is garbage and not a good fit for this show. There is limited audience participation in this show. Photos without flash are allowed.

The ladies are beautiful and talented, and show an excellent fluid combination of dance, choreography, music, singing, costumes, stage props, and different specialty acts. The next scheduled shows at The Composers Room are 11 & 25 May and 10 & 24 June 2024 (for best seats recommend you purchase P1 Golden Circle seats for only $40 which is 1st front row). Highly recommend that you see this energetic, intriguing, sexy and classy show (you will love it)!

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop wondering how he was doing any of it. Mat Franco is probably best known for winning Season 9 of America's Got Talent and now performs his residency, Magic Reinvented Nightly, at The LINQ in Las Vegas. I don't want to say too much because part of the fun is experiencing it for yourself. What I loved most was how much he interacted with the audience. It didn't feel like he was just performing at the crowd. He involved people throughout the show and made the entire room feel part of the experience. Every time I thought I had something figured out, another trick would happen and completely change my mind. Seeing magic on TV is one thing, but seeing it happen right in front of you is mind-blowing. If you've ever been curious about magic or wanted to see a Vegas show that's different from the typical concerts and productions, I would definitely recommend this one. I left amazed and still thinking about some of the tricks afterward.

It became so intolerable that my hubby mentioned our discomfort to one of the ushers. She kindly sat us closer to the stage on a nice cushioned bench. I couldn't believe that they made such nice accommodations for us! Mat Franco is very engaging and very family oriented. We enjoyed his magic show, which is family friendly. You could hear the kids let out oooohs and aaaahs throughout the show. We highly recommend this very entertaining show.

As MOH, I planned the party and spent a lottt of time going through reviews on Yelp and Reddit bc there was a lot of pressure to find the best option and decide for the group. Many reviews of the bigger shows said the performers had been doing it for so long that they looked like they were just going through the motions.. that the acts were unimpressive.. that the theater was so big you could only see the tricks on a screen, or that it was overpriced. After all my research, I'm SO glad I decided on Frederic -- the bride said this magic show was her favorite part of the trip!! (and we went to Tao dayclub the day before lol) :) I love that it was in a small, intimate theater, so that you were up close no matter where you sat. And there was SO much audience interaction -- our bride even caught a frisbee and got to go on stage -- which was fun and helped make it even more special for her. The mentalism was such a cool departure from traditional physical magic tricks -- we all loved it and had many *gasp* moments. We even got to meet Frederic after, and he performed more mentalism up close, which was cool. HIGHLY recommend this show!! (Also, it was $30/ticket, which is a price you cannot beat in Vegas)

When the hot crooner started singing about being with men and women, I was nearly on the floor laughing! Great show with all of the typical saloon types, the madam, the employees, the mayor, preacher, etc. It was just hilariously great! The whole ambiance was very wild west and it showed all over. They really put a lot of work into this place! Everything from just the stage to the restrooms was on-theme. We were seated up on the stage which I don't necessarily think were the best seats in the end but it was great to be up there with the action around us. Next time I would get in front of the stage though. Really was a top notch show! The quiet nuns were also a laughing riot too!

    Came here on a Tuesday evening (7/14/26 show) after spontaneously getting tickets a few hours…read morebefore. We opted for the $70 tickets that were in the first level, back area towards the bar (there is a semi-obstructed view because of the lower ceiling, but I felt like it was worth the money saved because you really only miss like when the performers are high up in the air). It was also kind of an emptier show, so we got moved from the very back to the FRONT of the back area since the seats were empty. Which worked out for me because as an audience member I typically do not like being touched or interacted with by the performers. (pretty much a guarantee if you buy one of the seats in that inner circle area, you will 100% be touched, get bread thrown at you, or have to answer questions lol). Pros: - Very easy to get tickets the day of, but make sure you check various sites because they're randomly cheaper on some websites than others. - Honestly, a pretty entertaining variety show! It's different from Cirque shows because most of the acts are either pairs or individuals, and there's a LOT of variety. There's acrobatics, singing, dancing (tap, clog), some magic from the nuns, what I can only describe as breakdancing with a gigantic ring, comedy, etc. So it's not very repetitive and you see a lot of variation in skill and talent. Since you're also so close, you can literally see the performers flexing their abs and it's honestly a miraculous display of human skill and flexibility. Even though there's sexual innuendos and undertones, I honestly didn't feel that uncomfortable because the talent is very impressive. just packaged in a raunchy show haha. I had a good time and laughed a lot. - I could not stop laughing at the constant bread throwing. - Pretty decent drinks at the bar. I got a $12 matcha mocktail called the discos cowboy and it was actually DELICIOUS and so cute. - The entrance area was easy to find and all the staff we interacted with were pretty nice. - Very lively show and plot, again hats off to the acrobats and skill performers. Cons: - When you first go in and doors open, there's a "waiting" area with a bar that you have to wait in until the staff let you into the main seating area. This area was EXTREMELY stuffy and hot, with very little air circulation, and bodies packed pretty close to each other while waiting to get drinks at the bar or just waiting for the show. I really didn't like the 15 mins we waited in this area and would have just preferred to wait in the casino hallway outside the venue. - The comedy, while raunchy and entertaining, was a little too cheesy for me at times. Especially the jokes from the matriarch Irish lady who acts as the brothel owner - I felt like those jokes were very dad-ish and way too cheesy. - I personally really dislike crowd participation or being touched without warning so this part wasn't for me LOL. But I'm grateful we sat in the back. If you are super into this sort of thing, you will love it and you should sit in the front pew area or in the main circle area. Definitely don't bring your kids lol. I think I would be open to coming back and seeing a different variety of actors, since they say they change it up sometimes. Also the show is early enough in the evening (we went to the 9:30pm showing) where you could totally still go out to the club after. I don't regret this experience haha.

    Absolutely spectacular! This is hands down the best show in Vegas…read more My family and I booked this show for a Saturday night with no knowledge of what it would be like and were simply amazed. We had seen the Cirque du Soleil Show "O" before and this just does not even compare. I recommend getting seats in the center, facing the middle of the stage, as close to the front row as possible. Sitting in this section immerses yourself into the show. Logistically, this is a great venue. It is located in Treasure Island. It is in the back of the casino. Although there are signs throughout the casino leading you there, it is quite easy to get turned around on your way there. Once you find it, it is simple to enter. Use the restroom before you get in though because it is located outside of the theater! We arrived around 20 minutes prior to showtime and had no wait at all to enter. They offer commemorative photos for purchase, which we declined. There was no security which surprised me. There were no metal detectors or bag searches. Inside the theater, there is a large concessions stand with snacks and drinks. Even close to show time, there was no line there either. They have a lot of staff available to guide you to your seats - it's very efficient. The seats were actually very comfortable. They were soft, spacious, and had a lot of leg room. Even though there were no lines for anything, you absolutely need to get there early. The "show" starts before is set time as there is a comedic character that hilariously interacts with the crowd. This is a must-see and had everyone cracking up with the unexpectedness of it. The show itself is pure spectacle. It is a bizarre exhibition of talent and creativity. You will see everything from trapeze, contortion, acrobatics, dance, balancing acts, comedy, and live music from an orchestra, band, and singers. Seeing these athletes push the limits of what the human body can do in such a beautiful manner is incredibly thrilling. The costumes are beautiful and the sets are amazing. Every scene change and act is so unexpected and really leave you at the edge of your seat. You quite literally have to keep your eyes peeled open to make sure you don't miss anything. There are so many different things happening at once all across the stage, on the floor, the ceiling, and even along the walls and walkways of the audience. There is no clear plot so you may find yourself sitting there trying to figure out what it all means. Some people may find this boring but it truly makes the whole thing more fascinating. There is an obvious intention behind every little thing, it is just unclear what it is. It is truly a mystery. I have recommended this show to everyone I know and I would love to see it again!

    This show has been running for 30 years, and it kind of shows. Although I'm sure the acrobatic acts…read morehave changed over the years to keep it fresh, it's still entertaining, though not as grandiose as other Cirque shows. Most of the show is nonsensical, so don't look for a plot. Something to consider if you think to yourself, I've seen this before, the fact that the show HAS been running for 30+ years means those other shows stole it from this one. Logistically, I had to pick up the tickets at will call, and when I arrived 35 minutes before show time, the line to get in was already snaking through the casino. While I panicked a little, the line moved super fast when they opened the doors. I didn't need to get into that long line. An important thing to remember, if you pick up your tickets at Will Call, you need some ID and the credit card you used to buy them. I was lucky I bought them online the night before, while I was already in Vegas, but I often use a different credit card when buying from home. So to cum up, depending on your taste, this show represents the original Cirque du Soleil concepts, and that's what you'll see.
