This is what I come to Vegas for - a raunchy show with that classic vegas feel. The main host did a superb job acting like your inappropriate Uncle that everyone loves. He oozed charisma. All the other people in the show were top-rate performers and singers. The cocktails were expensive and the line was long, but you can't go to a cocktail cabaret empty-handed. The crowd is a more mature crowd, but everyone was having a blast and there were good vibes all around. The show is mostly just a compilation of songs from different genres, with some original like the "cocktail cabaret" song. It's been over a week and I still can't get the song out of my head! My friend and I had a blast and I can't wait to see it again! read more

Really fun classic vegas show. Great vocal performances with some good jokes. If you're looking for special effects, acrobatics, go go dancers look elsewhere. For what it is, the cocktail cabaret is a great way to start a night out in vegas. They sang classic songs including viva Las Vegas and Diamonds are forever. Enjoy a cocktail while listening to the show. read more

This was a very solid show with a nice variety of music. All of the singers can definitely SING and that piano player is amazing. I had a few small gripes with the show. One of them was that I was hoping they would do more cabaret twists on modern music (a la Post Modern Jukebox), but it was mostly more on the classic music side. If you like your music on the older side I think you will not be disappointed. If you look up articles about the show you can get an idea of their setlist. Another gripe was that there was a bit where one of the ladies sang "Diamonds are Forever" and her back was turned to part of the audience the whole time because she was facing the front of the stage. I had seats near the front, so I could just turn around and see her just fine, but still.. it was weird for a whole song. I recommended just making it part of a song. I have a love/hate relationship with this venue. On one hand it's definitely cool to check out and you get up close and personal to the acts, but on the other hand there are a lot of weird seats with a mediocre view. I feel like the singers did the best with what they got. read more

I wasn't really sure what to expect going into this show, all I knew was that it was supposed to be a little taste of "old Vegas". Located at Cleopatra's Barge inside of Caesar's Palace (it's right inside the main entrance and to the right- a bar and security desk preceed it), this show has an intimate feel to it. Very nice seating, with small tables and comfortable chairs for everyone, the venue offers a few unique vantages to the show; even sitting on more of the side of the main stage, I never felt like I wasn't seeing all of the splendor! There were four phenomenal singers that sang many different pieces and entertained throughout the entirety of the show. The singers absolutely blew me away- their vocal ranges were just awe inspiring!! I'm pretty sure my jaw actually dropped a few times! Eric Jordan Young, Daniel Emmet, Niki Scalera, and Maren Wade are all fantastically talented, funny, and charming, and they really go all out for their performances. The pianist Philip Fortenberry, also known as the hands of Liberace (he played the piano in HBO's movie Behind the Candelabra as Liberace's hands, and Michael Douglass played the role of Liberace), is just... WOW!!!! He'll absolutely knock your socks off, and he's such a kind and humble guy. My partner knows him, so we were lucky enough to run into him before the show and he thanked us so sweetly for coming! What a wonderful and talented man! The accompanying band was also phenomenal, although I wasn't able to remember their names (sorry!), but they deserve the highest praises and are all equally brilliant!! Overall, a great, great night!! The show never stopped, and I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish. Great songs like Viva Las Vegas, Burn My Candle, You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby, and Diamonds Are Forever (this was my favorite!!) are just a few of the songs that were performed. If you get a chance, definitely go to this fun and amazing show! read more

This show makes you smile the entire time you are there. There are 4 incredible singers who do varied genre solos and duets. The ensembles have a cool Manhattan Transfer flare. The music is quite brilliant with a great flow. The band sounds terrific as well. The singers really look and act like they are having a great time throughout the whole show which puts you in a fantastic frame of mind. The timing of the show works great as well. The 6:00 pm slot makes it a perfect pre dinner show. It's what you expect a real Vegas show to be. I highly recommend going to see this show. Order your cocktail, sit back and be prepared to be swept off your feet with some amazing music. read more

Great show in an intimate setting. The host was animated and funny. Everyone had a wonderful voice and harmonized well. The young man sang beautiful Opera. I would definitely recommend it. It was an enjoyable evening. The cocktails were too expensive however. read more

One of the best show in Vegas! What a voices! Performance is absolutely stunning!!! Great songs, beautiful costumes, fantastic sound, cool moves! Piano music is unforgettable!!! Comfy seats in Cleopatras barge , nice cocktails and beautiful music-that evening sure the one to remember!!! read more

The venue was really cool! The show seemed short. The singers did a great job, mixing a little comedy in with the old school lineup of songs. There was free champagne when you walked in, and the cocktail waitress only came bye once. When we walked in we weren't really told where we could sit so we were offered the champagne and pointed to the direction at the top of the stairs. While trying to figure what table we should sit at to not get a blocked view an employee came and helped us and took us to seats on the floor and I had a perfect view. The venue is not that big so I'm sure all seats are pretty good. read more

This is still one of my absolute favorite shows on the Strip. I've seen in countless times and it just never gets old. The vocalists are so incredibly talented, and I get goose bumps repeatedly throughout the show. No joke! The show feels like what I imagine classic Vegas was like. It's nice to be up close and personal with such talented performers. They make everyone feel like part of the show. The band is amazing, and led by a world class pianist who's hands appear to move at light speed during his solo number. If you love that cabaret vibe and great music, this is the show for you. It's a cocktail hour (aka happy hour) show, so it's a perfect way to kick off the night! read more

This show was FABULOUS!! It was a great escape from the craziness of the strip to sit in a cabaret setting and see some of the most amazing vocals out there. The variety of song stylings had something for everyone and the voices just blew us away. Each of the performers brought something unique and different to the stage and yet they all played off one another so perfectly. They involved the audience and we really felt like we were a part of the show. I would highly recommend this show to anyone visiting or residing in the Vegas area. Thank you to Maren, Eric, Niki, Daniel and Philip for the excellent entertainment! read more

This is a true Las Vegas show. The cast is incredible, staging, lighting, song choices make for a great happy hour start to a true Vegas night. You will throw off your troubles, tap your toes and enjoy. Take a look at the piano player...his hands were the hands used in the Liberace movie. Daniel Emmett cut his teeth in this show (not there now) but it shows the caliber of talent exhibited here. You can't miss this show when you are in town. read more

Great little show with terrific vocalists performing top-notch arrangements. Live band. I recommend seats facing the stage rather than up close on the side. I would have enjoyed a bit more of the instrumental numbers but overall a fun time with amazing musicianship. Did not start on time, but I don't know if that was by accident or design. read more

My husband and I love Cocktail Cabaret & have seen it numerous times as it's a perfect way to entertain guests. This is a can't-miss show - amazing cast and band, fun venue, yummy drinks and did I mention amazing cast?! read more

The Cocktail Cabaret is awesome! Everyone sprang to their feet to applaud! I had tears in my eyes for some of the songs! It's great to be able to hear live music and singing that's not hip-hop or rock. Vintage tunes, but very up-to-date. Excellent outing. Intimate, fulfilling. read more

Very good if it were free. If not.... Don't. While all the singers have thier moments, there is no thematic approach, no cohesive performance. They really don't play that well off each other. Just like the other 5 star review, I was in tears too, but that was from the smoke machine. read more

I went to this show, not knowing what to expect. This show blew me away!!! The songs flowed seamlessly, one to the next, and I was thoroughly entertained. The singers are among the best I've ever heard, and the band was amazing. The show was funny, moving, thrilling, and I cannot wait to see it again and again!!! read more

I'll be honest. I didn't have high hopes for this show. We used our diamond free show tickets. Man was I wrong. This show was amazing!! I thought it would be too "old" for me. I was definitely wrong. The singers are fantastic, the band is great. I loved everything about it. read more
