    Such a great and enthusiastic performer!! Not gonna be a spoiler of the show, but it is definitely worth watching! He is so nice to spend time talking and taking pictures with all his audience. Happy and fun time if you are looking for some entertainment that's good for both kids and elders.

    Meeting "Michael" was such a fun experience! He was very sweet & personable. His performance on stage was outstanding & spot on! He truly embodied the "King of Pop." I recommend this show, especially if you are a MJ fan. Check out my YouTube link of my MJ Live Collage of Fun. https://youtu.be/E6JWz90L_TY?si=NqfrqGLiYd4n09FS

    PURCHASED TIX IN ADVANCE AT A TABLE ABOUT HALF WAY BACK IN THE THEATER. I purchased tickets for this show at Harrah's in advance of our trip. We were sat about halfway back in the theatre at a (slightly elevated) table that seated 6. (P2 price level). When we walked in, they offered to take us closer (to the non-elelvated row seats) as the show wasn't anywhere near sold out (a Monday in March 2025) but we opted to stay where we'd purchased tickets as I was worried our view might be blocked by people's heads on the non-elevated seats. Another couple that was supposed to be sat at our table opted to move closer, so we were all by ourselves. It would have honestly been a little cramped if there were 6 people at the table and four of them would have to peer around the two in front. The theater isn't that big, so any seat is pretty good, but obviously if you'd really like a close up view, the front area is better. In front of us were 'half-moon' booths with a table -- I would probably opt for those another time. HARD WORKING PERFORMERS I thought the show was decent and the performers worked very hard. The guy that performed the night we went doesn't look like the same guy in most of the review photos I see posted, so not sure if we had an understudy? He had gobs of shaded make up on to make him look like MJ which frankly looked awful, however, he had the moves and the singing down. ALL THE HITS PLUS JACKSON 5 The show was short at about an hour and 15 minutes, but they played all his major hits, plus a (cheesy) Jackson 5 number that featured some white guys in the line-up. Not sure why they couldn't find enough black guys...? OVERALL DECENT SHOW Overall, it was a good tribute show. I thought the audience was a little flat which was a shame. Sometimes they didn't play an entire song. The performers work hard and there are lots of costume changes and stage effects. Afterwards, you can pay to have your photo taken with MJ in the lobby by a professional photographer. (Which we didn't do). HOW TO FIND THE THEATER In order to get to the show, enter the Harrah's casino and go up the central escalator a couple of flights. There's a small lobby outside the theater where there are restrooms. Be sure to allow enough time to find it. We had to ask a casino employee as it wasn't obvious. Note: If you're sensitive to lasers/strobes, sexy moves (i.e. 'crotch grabs') and dance costumes, this may not be for you. Helpful?

    A must for Michael Jackson fans!! You'll sing along the whole show!!! Comfy seats and not a bad view in the house! Buy tickets ahead of time.

    The show was very entertaining. It ran for for about an hour which was perfect,, it didn't seem Short at all. The venue was small with assigned sections but no assigned seating a full bar is available at the back of the venue. The impersonator was very funny and engaged with the crowd. He was on point with all the songs he sang, as if watching the real Michael Jackson, we couldn't even tell if he was actually singing or llip syncing because he was that good. Reasonably priced. All in all, highly recommended.

    THIS SHOW IS UNBELIEVABLE- My 8-year old son is a rabid MJ fan. And I grew up loving the J5. This show is like seeing MJ in concert. It's that real and it's that good. We've seen it twice and are planning on going again next month. Great show, great production and a crazy, funky drummer. Highly recommended.

    Paul S.

    Great performers with a ton of energy and great audience communication. Music was great, dancers were fantastic and MJ was amazing! Very reasonable prices to attend. Small theater with comfortable seating. You can buy drinks from your seats - waitresses come and visit. Tasty cocktails! If you like Michael Jackson songs then YOU SHOULD ATTEND!

    VERY entertaining show that does a great job playing tribute to Michael Jackson his concerts of the past. Recently moved to the very intimate showroom at the Harrah's Las Vegas and was the main purpose our trip this weekend with my twin boys who loved it. Jalles Franca is incredibly passionate about his performance and graciously stayed after to chat with fans, take photos, sign autographs, etc. Would unconditionally recommend the show to anyone who is fan of the King of Pop and his songs. The venue has both theatre seating as well as tables and booths. Bar service was available as well before the show started. Mostly family friendly.

    Wow, what a fun, energetic and entertaining show!!! This show moved recently to the Harrah Showroom from the Sahara. Jalles Franca AKA as MJ literally looked, sang and danced like MJ, and we were truely amazed (it was like stepping back in time). This show is very high energy and has it all; everything to include an excellent selection of songs and seamless transitions, awesome dancers, great lights and sound, stunning costumes, and a group of very talented band musicians. Jalles does a meet and great photo session after the show, and he is so friendly, personable and fun (you can tell he genuinely loves entertaining and visiting with fans). The Harrah Showroom is a very nice venue with good stage view and good seating. The staff at this venue are also very friendly and helpful, and parking free for Nevada residents (you scan your ID at exit). If you love the music and dance of MJ, you got to check out this awesome and fantastic show!!!

    This was a great show! We were seated two rows behind the tables and had a great view of the stage. The MJ impersonator was funny and engaging. The dancers were really good and you could tell they put a lot of work into their performance. Definitely a must see when in Vegas.

    Kathrine D.

    Absolutely hands down the BEST show I have been to in Vegas!! My daughter LOVES Michael Jackson so when we planned a trip to Vegas this show and the reviews was a MUST see. Let me say this show did NOT disappoint not one single bit! During my daughter's favorite song he even came up to her it was perfect. From the dancers and performance it exceeded all expectations. He was incredibly kind so engaging during the meet and greet and signing. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would! Love love loved the show!

    People constantly getting up to get drinks. MJ Live Michael Jackson Tribute Concert March 2023.

    Better to seat closer or further back? What are the best seats?

    I have sat both VIP tables/booths and back of house. There isn't a bad seat in the house. I enjoy sitting up front the most and interacting with Jalles and dancers

    How long is the show?

    From what l remember, the show was exactly 1 hour long. It goes like clock work. But it was still fun and they serve drinks so you don't have to get out of your seat.

From the second it starts, it feels like organized chaos in the best possible way. The crowd work is absolutely ruthless but also hilarious. You spend half the time laughing and the other half quietly hoping you do not make eye contact. Somehow, they walk that perfect line where it is edgy without being awkward. The side acts are insane. Like, how is this even physically possible level talent. Every time you think it cannot get crazier, it does. It is part circus, part comedy show, part did I just witness that moment. And the Gazillionaire is the perfect ringmaster for it all, completely unhinged in the most controlled way possible. He keeps everything moving, keeps the crowd on edge, and somehow makes chaos feel like it is exactly on schedule. Going with a close friend made it even better. There is something about sharing those did that really just happen looks the whole night that makes it stick. If you are in Vegas and want something that is actually memorable and not just expensive for no reason, this is it. Easily one of the best shows on the Strip.

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)

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop wondering how he was doing any of it.

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.

This one is more casual, audience specific and raw interactions that include the audience. As with most shows the performers are fit, talented and not shy about showing some skin. We had a blast.

    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!

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.
