It's not just the first west coast outpost of famed Comedy Cellar -- it's the first location anywhere outside of NYC. Opened nearly seven years ago, the Vegas outpost has done a remarkable job matching the vibe of the West Village original. It looks nearly identical, but with some welcome upgrades: better acoustics, improved ventilation, and significantly more seating(#1). Instead of squeezing down a narrow basement staircase, one can take a relaxed stroll through The Rio's convention space and casino to get there. Upon entrance, folks familiar with the iconic NYC version will take delight in the brick walls, stained-glass signage, low ceilings, celebrity photo frames, and the cozy, underground feel. The lineup rotates regularly, but there's almost always a crowd forming prior to every show. Every performance features five headliner-level comics, and the quality is consistently solid--withthe occasional surprise guest appearance. There is a laugh focused, no-heckling policy, and phone use or talking during sets is strictly prohibited. Security does a decent job of enforcing this, thought it didn't entirely stop some audience chatter during my visit (#2). Service was efficient and not extremely pushy about enforcing any kind of a drink minimum. Drinks were understandably expensive, but I sipped my $8 bottle of Dasani like it was the last one on the planet. The $15 margarita was small'ish in which one would have to order a good amount to feel anything. (#3) The tickets are reasonably priced, typically ranging from $25 to $45 depending on the night. It's an adults-only venue and parking at the Rio is free. I feel the addition of the Comedy Cellar has injected new energy intot his off-Strip property and I can't wait to come back again. _____________ (#1) 300 seat capacity to be exact. That's awesome. (#2) The same kind of folks who will talk in a movie theater during a pivotal moment in the film. (#3) Perhaps that was the point all along.

Great show last night, especially Kathleen Dunbar! She was awesome. I think the scheduled lineup is mostly the same the rest of this week. Certainly worth catching a show!

Had a good time at the show here! All the acts did really well! I didn't know them prior to coming but I look forward to what they get into next! They were out of a few things on the menu but it wasn't big deal I just got something else. It's a very cozy spot and if you book VIP you're practically on the stage with them.

What a great unique date night idea. Talent can always be hit or miss but we were lucky enough to share some tear inducing laughs the night we went. Our only gripe would have been the rundown Rio hotel the cellar is located in but the comics made up for it by clowning the hotel's decor.

Literally one of the best comedy shows I've been to in Vegas. All of the comedians were HILARIOUS like on a continuum. There was no downtime between jokes. Went on a Sunday night and was honestly surprised how packed the audience was on a Sunday. Ambiance is a small quaint theater, with dim lighting and very cozy seating placements.

Great interior

Located in the Rio, the Comedy Cellar is a great venue & great show! SO funny! Reasonable ticket prices and good service! For food, check out the many restaurants at the Rio!

We had a great time at the Comedy Cellar. We liked 2 of the 4 comedians, but that was OK, as not everyone's sense of humor is for everyone else. Our favorite was Chloe Hilliard. She was fantastic! We laughed so hard. The drinks were a decent price considering we were at an event. And the best part is that there was no drink minimum. The Rio (where the Comedy Cellar is located) is upsetting because nobody was in the casino! I don't know how they are making ends meet. I mean it was practically deserted. But again, the Comedy Cellar was fun.

The ViP ticket will get you one of the tables in the front by the stage, it will be reserved for those who have one.

The cocktail game is real and we had some excellent, beautiful drinks. There was a live singer some nights. (Lapa & Luckley's have happy hours a few days a week) Also, I don't know how often this happens, but while in the casino we were given a buy one get one coupon for drinks here!

The atmosphere inside is simply top notch, its themed head to toe and for me personally, I always love a place that's well themed. We went in without a reservation and they managed to squeeze us into a table, we were served by a very friendly waitress who had good recommendations and was overall very attentive. The drinks were all good, and thankfully they have non-alcoholic versions for many of their drinks. No complaints on any of them, they were exactly what we were looking for. I will say the prices are a little steep, but this isn't someplace you are likely to come to on a regular basis, so I can excuse it. (And if you do like the vibe and come often, you can always get non tiki drinks cheaper.) Overall very very fun, wish we had come a little later because their was a band that was setting up and got maybe three songs in before we left, but they sounded pretty good!

TIKI OASIS!!! YES, PLEASE!…read more This place is a favorite of mine and always will be. The decor is beautiful, intriguing, and like I have entered a bar version of The Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland (but for adults). All around this place has so much to look at; it's amazing. Drinks are yummy and beautiful here. They even have a nice food menu where you can get some things like coconut shrimp to pair with your tropical drinks. They do have the famous Dole Whip here. They also have a happy hour during weekdays from 3-6 pm I think (don't quote me on this exactly LOL). It's often busy so if you want a table, I recommend making a reservation. Service is always nice and friendly. It's a beautiful place for a drink, to hangout with friends, or show someone while they are visiting Vegas. Best bar in town for decor!!!

She let multiple people know she was upset -- not just annoyed, but full-on airing her grievances -- because we couldn't put all our drinks on one bill. Then came the "concerns" about how she'd be tipped. So the night took a weird turn. Instead of laughing and sipping cocktails, some of us were consoling her and tipping extra out of guilt. If it was a ploy to squeeze out pity tips, well... mission accomplished. But as far as getting us back in the bar? Not likely. Which is a shame! I've been to this bar several times before (both this trip and previous ones) and always had a great time. The bartenders are stellar -- friendly, fast, and know their stuff. It's just unfortunate one person can change the whole vibe. The space itself? Still cool. There's a giant, deconstructed shark looming over the bar like some kind of Vegas art installation meets Jaws. It's probably seen better days (don't make eye contact), but it adds character. The bar's location is great too -- right at the entrance of the Palms, with all the buzz of table games and slot machines around. Drinks are solid. Big downside for me: no real egg whites in their cocktails. A whiskey sour without that frothy top is like Vegas without neon -- technically still works, but it's just not the same. All in all, one bad interaction kind of took the sparkle out of what should've been a great night. Might try somewhere else next time -- and luckily, in Vegas, there's no shortage of options.

The ambiance was a little odd as the music really pulled me out of the "high end" experience, but we were in the lounge area. There were some fun elements to the dinner like watching them cut a 40 oz ribeye at the table for my friends, but generally the food was what you expect from a high end steakhouse. Nothing mind blowing. We enjoyed the Brie dip, but the flavor was fairly benign. The creamed spinach was a favorite (less cream than spinach which was nice). I had the smaller ribeye, which was cooked perfectly and delicious. But the real winner of the meal was the house Manhattan! If you're looking for a solid steakhouse experience with no twists or unexpected elements, then this is the perfect place for you :)
