Incredible. Magic…read morehas always been something that intrigued me, but seeing it live is a completely different experience. 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.

As soon as we sat down we became immediately chilled. The A/C was blowing full force from the vents in the wall behind us! Brrrr! 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.

Loved, loved, loved this show!!! We were so entertained! It's a great mixture of acrobatics, cool…read moretricks, and overall wild west raunchiness! 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.

I finally got to see Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil, and WOW... what an incredible show!…read more From the moment it started, I was completely captivated. Every performance had me on the edge of my seat, and I couldn't stop smiling. The acrobatics were breathtaking, the choreography was incredible, and the way they combined Michael Jackson's music with Cirque du Soleil's creativity was absolutely brilliant. Since I know all of Michael Jackson's songs, it made the experience even more exciting. I found myself singing along in my head the entire time! Every act left me saying, "Wow!" and wondering how they pulled it off. The energy was nonstop, and every performance was exciting, creative, and so much fun from beginning to end. I'm a huge Cirque du Soleil fan in general. I've seen almost every Cirque show that I could. Unfortunately, I missed a few that are no longer running, such as IRIS in Los Angeles and, in Las Vegas, R.U.N. and LOVE (The Beatles). Whenever a touring Cirque du Soleil show comes to the Bay Area, I always make time to see it. If you're a Michael Jackson fan, this show is an absolute must-see. And if you already love Cirque du Soleil like I do, you'll have an amazing time. It's definitely one of the most entertaining shows I've ever seen!

The real entertainment is not from Kevin Lepine (and his wife/assistant) but from the audience members that volunteer.

My friend & I showed up shortly after the show started & we got seated so close to the front of the stage I prayed I wasn't going to get chosen to participate. I would of had to pass as many years ago I went to a hypnosis show in Vegas & it just didn't work out for me. Luckily, neither one of us got picked, I mean if you get picked to go up on stage & you get hypnotized then you won't even remember the show....right?? lol Anyways great energy from Kevin & his lovely wife. I loved when she had come out with a big penis & joked around with that piece. If your a prude with no sense of humor then this show isn't for you. I think he may have picked out 10 participants from the audience and shortly after the show started if the hypnosis didn't work on some people they were taken off of the stage. I always wonder if some of the participants are part of the show??? But probably not. I won't go into detail of what the people were asked to do during the show under hypnosis but things were definitely interesting & fun. Even their loved ones had fun with the show too. My eyes were glued to the stage the whole time. No wait staff running around but that bar is right there. I grabbed drinks when Kevin's lucky people were picked out. I ended up grabbing doubles for my friend & I and had them put into a bigger glass to have more liquid to sip on during the show. At one time I needed to use the restroom, I was very impressed on how they had bathrooms right outside the curtains. I found the ladies room very clean & nice. After the show you can get your photo taken with Kevin who is very nice & fun! If you've ever wanted to by hypnotized then come out to this show, if you want some great, fun entertainment & watch others be hypnotized then this show is for you too! Great showroom, comfy chairs with a table right in front that you share with two others.

I went to the very first show of HotMess and my reaction was... wow…read more First off the creator of the show and the main performer throughout, Chloe Crawford, is incredible. I wanted to see her perform because I had heard she was on Britain's Got Talent and now I know why Simon Cowell was a fan. She's got it all. An amazing illusionist, incredibly gorgeous, sexy, and funny. She pulled the show together throughout the evening, which otherwise can be summed up as a variety show. The singing, beat boxing, burlesque and contortionist made this the most entertaining show I've seen in a long time. Every performer was great. Chloe's interaction with the audience made it feel so intimate and that's just what it was in a venue that seats less than 50 seats. If you are a Vegas local or just vacationing in Vegas, this should be on your list. So much fun and you get to walk through a super cool bar that looks like a castle. It's a win win. Also, I plan to go back again and again because the acts keep changing with the one thing that will remain constant being Chloe.

I just want to say WOW!! This show definitely blew our expectation out the door. Jeff had all of us laughing from start to finish. He comedy consists of humor with a bit of impromptu, juggling stunts, multiple volunteers from the audience both kids and adults, and a great performance to end the show. This show is family friendly and to bring kids. Everyone who volunteered receive a gift for participating. Be sure to hang around after the show to meet Jeff himself. I recommend checking out this show. It's not one of those big name shows everyone goes to see but Jeff will surely keep you entertained and laughing throughout the whole show.

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.
