    Went to this show for the first time with my family and it was great! We wanted a show that was good but not too flashy and this show was perfect. A lot of great magic tricks with great crowd work and comedy wrapped in it. Even the back row tickets had a good view. Smaller venue which I enjoyed and it was overall a great Las Vegas experience!!!

    Mat Franco was fabulous with his comedic personality and his magic tricks. it was top notch. It was my husband and I at the time but this would be great for the whole family to watch. Located at the LINQ then after show, you grab some awesome late night pizza at the promenade.

    This show will blow your mind. We were in Vegas for a show at the Sphere but had four kids with us so needed some family friendly entertainment. Boy did we find it here. I wasn't sure what to expect but this was incredible. Mat Franco not only does amazing magic tricks, but he also woos you with stories of his childhood (and will make you cry when talking about his grandmother) and engages the audience in the most fantastic way possible. You will be wowed and leave wondering, "How did he do that?"

    I think this is a good family show with a lot of audience interactions. For me, I prefer to watch and observe the real skill, which is slight of hand. I think with all the audience interactions it bored me and diminished mat francos talent. As you can guess, I enjoyed shin lims show way more! Lol I loved that mat franco was more energetic and engaging but again I just have a preference. However I really enjoyed the show and appreciated the venue is in a smaller space. This show is in the linq and fairly easy to find. I hated that they sold beers for 20$, unbelievable. This is why people are hesitant to watch shows or come to vegas. 35$ for parking already. The cost of half the ticket. If they comped the parking for watching shows, this would bring more revenue. Facts. Nearly everyone i spoke to had the same sentiments. Anyways, I digress. The show had its awesome and impressive moments. Mat franco is definitely very skilled and fun to watch. I think he's magnetic and funny. Mat franco is one of the better shows in vegas imo. I'd bring my kids to see him for sure!

    Great seating , not a bad seat in there and layout allows you to see no matter where you sit . Matt's interaction with the crowd starts from the get go and continues till the end. The illusion and comedy are spot in and will leave you asking how the heck did he do that . This show is actually better than shim lin and better than the mentalist , there is no lag / down time and you are not waiting too long to get to the climax of each trick , the slight of hand is beyond impressive and the comedy added in with the facial expressions will leave ya wanting more This is a must see

    The wife, mother in law, brother in law, and myself were in Vegas to celebrate our December birthdays and were looking for a show to go to. The wife decided on Mat Franco. Our seats were near the back of the theater. So when Mat asked for volunteers for the show, I thought there was no way that he would pick me, but pick me he did! He brought me and 3 others up to the stage and did some card tricks for us. I was sitting on Mat's right and leaned over the table, about a foot away from Mat's hands and he was still changing cards right in front of my face. It was unbelievable. Unfortunately we couldn't video or take pictures. I would have loved to have a video record of the experience, but all of the tricks Mat did were mind blowing. We all had an amazing time at the show.

    Venue is small, intimate and no matter where your seat is, you get a great view. The show started on time, big plus. Mat Franco did amazing tricks and everyone enjoyed the show.

    GETTING HERE: This spectacular show is located inside the LINQ Hotel inside the Mat Franco Theater in Las Vegas. I will brb as I need to google additional adjectives to describe this show. REVIEW: Come to the LINQ. Come to the LINQ. Come to the LINQ. Come to the LINQ. I cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed this show. I can echo almost all of the reviews here: Mat does have a great sense of humor and his wit is perfectly timed. Great interaction with the audience, too. His tricks are in fact mind-blowing! He had the audience's attention the entire show. It was so awesome! Without giving any spoilers, there is one trick he does that absolutely blew my mind (and it's still blown!) - I was seated on the end, next to the aisle, and when he completed this specific trick my mouth (literally) was open and flies were going inside! Mat walked by me, back up to the stage, and he caught my eyes and mimicked my open mouth! It was an unbelievable experience. The venue is on the smaller side (IMO) and I think enhances the guest experience as there isn't a bad seat in the house. I've included here the obligatory Mat Franco picture as well. Yes. I recommend seeing Mat's show to the zillionth percent times infinity. :)

    Thoroughly enjoyed this magic show! I am not actually the biggest fan of magic, but my husband sure is. We are Vegas locals and I bought tickets for his birthday. The theatre is nice, good size - meaning it's larger than I expected but also intimate enough to feel like you are part of the action and can see well. We were seated in high chairs with a small cocktail table in front, right about dead center of the theatre. The seats were comfortable and we had a good view. Neither of us were familiar with Mat Franco, so weren't sure what to expect. We were both so impressed by how fun and good this show was. May was really funny, quick-witted, and very talented. The magic was mind-boggling and quite impressive. Would highly recommend to show to others. (The only downside was that the parking garage at The Linq was tight and not fun to navigate but that has nothing to do with that show.)

    Matt Franco at the LINQ is a great show in Vegas. The show featured a diverse range of illusions and card tricks. Matt delivered an unforgettable performance that is family friendly. My teens really enjoyed the show. The venue is a nice size, each seat provides a great view, creating an immersive experience. Matt seamlessly incorporated audience members into his acts, making everyone feel like a part of the magic.

    Not knowing what to expect from this show except that it involved magic, we were amazed and entertained by Mat Franco's magic, as well as, his humor, background history, and engagement during the entire show with the audience. His tricks ranged for those simply performed on stage and prop, such as table and chairs, to out in the audience seating area. The entire show was energetic and quick paced which definately kept our constant attention. Of course, no photos or videos are allowed during the show which is normal for this type show. The Mat Franco Theater is a very nice venue with good seating and stage view from front to back, staff is extremely helpful and friendly, and great lighting, special effects/videos and sounds. The theater was a bit on the colder side, but didn't us distract too much. Overall, we have a very entertaining and fun time.

    If you want to be amazed, go see Mat Franco. Awesome show that was very interactive and will leaving you scratching your head. Family friendly. Only complaint was the temperature in there had to be 60°. But other than that he has to be the best in Vegas when it comes to Magic. My husband is a tough critic and he raved about how good this show was.

    Mat Franco's show was phenomenal! He had a great variety of magic ranging from close up slide of hand to teleportation - often including audience participation. My boys, 8 and 6, are now inspired to learn how to do magic from this show. I'd definitely recommend going and if you can get seats in the front row, you won't be sad. Don't be late, you might miss something spectacular!

    It's a bad show advertisement and cheap production.

    Ask the Community - Mat Franco

    Where is this theatre located specifically at the Linq?

    Follow the signs or ask staff. You won't miss it.

    How long is the show?

    I honestly can't remember. For me, it was the right amount of time. An hour? hour and half? My husband was very tired and started to nod off but I thought it was fun and the perfect length of time.

    We saw Mat Franco three years ago... is this the same show? Or has he updated his act at all?

    He has added to and updated his show. There are a couple things that are similar. Great show

    Where to sit?

    The auditorium is not that big. All seats are great! He moves all around and does some things in the audience. You can't go wrong !

    My mother is coming to visit me from another country and I would like to take her to this show, but she doesn't speak English. Do you think this show will still be as entertaining as everyone says if the language is not understood?=)

    What language does she speak? It depends. Does she know any English at all?

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

My wife and kids were next in line and were about to get on when one of the employees went around asking people to wait until 9pm when the fireworks would be going off. My kids were getting restless and didn't care to wait so they decided to go on anyway. The ride is supposed to last for 10 mins but they were only at the top for only 2-3 mins. The guy on the ride felt bad and told my wife and kids they could stay on since they were only on it for a couple mins but the lady who was working the line and operating the ride ushered them off as quick as she could. When my wife asked for an explanation why their ride was cut short, she said they promised a bunch of people they would get to go on and see the fireworks and that they wouldn't fit. She also said she spoke to her in a very condescending way. The rest of the main experience again in the main building was pretty awesome. Arcade was great, VR attractions were fun. This last interaction was just a really bad way to end the night.

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!

    Date of visit: January 2, 2026…read more Absinthe is one of my favorite shows on The Strip, so I was really excited to give the Atomic Saloon Show a try, though I will admit the poster does not really prepare you for this show. Absinthe's poster really gives you a better idea of what you are going to see, whereas Atomic Saloon's poster looks more akin to a unisex Thunder Down Under when it's really more R-rated Hee Haw. The loose story involves a brothel and a host of characters that interact with the facility and its matriarch but the comedy is really where it's at. From the Irish dancers with questionable teeth (when the bread started flying I could not stop laughing!) to the various aerial feats displayed, Atomic Saloon has a little bit of everything though it's not for the faint of heart--several people in our section left a few minutes into the show. As much fun as we had, the seats on the second floor are not great and you end up missing some of the action. Even more disappointing was that there were quite a few empty seats on the main level, and it would have made for an even better show if we had been given the opportunity to move forward like we did at OPM, another Spiegelworld show that used to run at Cosmopolitan.

    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.

Just a heads up the show uses strobes and flashes, and there's a strict no camera policy, which actually helps you just enjoy the moment. Some seats are just okay in comfort, but overall it was a fun, relaxed experience. I'd go again for sure, it's a light, high energy show that's family , friendly and a different kind of Vegas night.
