    Came to the 20th anniversary of Keyshia Cole's 'The Way It Is' tour. I haven't been in the Wynn Resort in well over 10 years. Parked at the Fashion Show Mall (Large multi level parking garage by Dillards. The underground garages are locked and closed around 9:30 pm so FYI). Wynn only gives 3 hours free parking per their website and no mention of free parking for locals. 3 hours free may or not be enough and I didn't want to chance having to pay for parking. If you don't mind a short walk... Or pay Wynns $25 parking fee ... they do charge more when special events are happening. There were several bars inside the theater, although I didn't purchase anything. Staff were friendly. Venue is decent.

    We had a great time at this venue. I don't think there was a bad seat in the house. Perfect size for a comedy show. The staff were very nice and made sure everyone got to their seats...even once the show started which was nice. The music before the acts went on was loud, but honestly it didn't bother me that much. I did hear others nearby say it was too loud. Seats were comfortable, concessions and bathrooms were all close. Acoustics were great in there. We'd see another show there.

    Hey yall! I bought a $117 ticket in advance on Ticketmaster to a Chris Tucker comedy show at the WYNN! I'm glad I did! My seat was good! I got to see Chris very well from my seat! I had an extra seat open next to me too! I went alone! It was 3 hours of comedy! Started on time 8pm and he had a starting act, he was funny! Then Chris went on for a few hours and all his jokes were cool and hilarious! He did lock up our cell phones! So I didn't get content, but it worth it! I had a good time! At first it was cold inside and then I warmed up sitting there! People bought drinks and popcorn and what not and people was coming and going but it was a full house packed!! Parking was free 3 hours and or $21 after that an hour but yeah I enjoyed my time!

    Encore theatre is located in the Wynn. The space is really fancy and intimate. They don't have many bars which is the only downside but the wait wasn't too bad. I did do a 36 oz drink for $36 which basically had three shots of alcohol. It definitely had a kick! Otherwise, the VIP team with Encore was great at providing direction for picking up VIP merchandise which was super appreciated. Our seating was in the Orchestra in row H and it was a perfect view of the show. The theatre is very intimate so I feel any seat will be decent. Just keep in the mind the seats are very tight so not the most comfortable. Otherwise great spot in Vegas for a more intimate feel.

    I went & saw Sebastian Maniscalco on 05/25/2025 after my friend who I haven't seen in forever invited me to go with her. I had no idea who he was but he was funny along with his openers. I actually thought this theater was the theater that Awakening is in so I had NO idea that this theater existed. It is a bit of a walk to get to the theater itself. The decor on your walk is really pretty but they have these little booths with curtains on your way to the show I guess you could sit in to rest or catch up with friends, not sure what they are there for? I was calling them "makeout rooms." We were in the MEZC section, Row E, seats 103-104. This was in an upper level. The stage was far away so thank God for the TV screens where you were able to see the comedians but it wasn't my favorite section & I would have rather been down closer to the stage but my friend is the one who bought the tickets. I also found the seats small & crowded. I had to keep my arms/hands on my legs so I wasn't touching the stranger to my right or hanging on my friend to my left. There were no drink cup holders either. People were slow getting out of the theater after the show was over & people who were seated in the rows in front of us had come up the aisle to get out before us. It reminded me of when you're on an airplane & have landed and the passengers behind you are trying to get past you & not wait their turn so that was a little annoying but we did cut across to go past the section next to us because there were hardly any people over there & it was moving. Because of the large amount of people who attended this show it took even longers to get out of the long hallway back into the casino. I saw a small concession stand that possible was selling drinks but didn't stop so I'm not sure about the prices or items that you can buy but they were letting you bring in your own drinks from the casino & had plastic cups for you to leave your glass outside the theater so that I really liked.

    Nas concert
    Andrew C.

    I went to the Nas + Philharmonic concert there. Small venue, professional staff. Good to great sound. Yes seats are close together but intimidate. For concerts, my recommendation is to always get orchestra Middle. The left and right orchesta Could be too extreme where you cannot see the stage especially if performer likes staying in the middle. The mezz (even center 1st row) is way too Steep where you are looking down significantly to the stage. I would go with Orchestra middle back rows vs anything Mezz. This is stadium seating so rows do go up albeit slightly at an angle but the first 4-5 rows are Flat. Can be a pain leaving the venue as people go up the stairs slowly to go out. I've noticed for some shows they do decrease the price on Ticketmaster the Day of the show. Happy hunting.

    My reviews are for the Encore Theater itself and not any of the concerts or shows we have seen here. Parking is closer to the Wynn self-parking garage or you can also part at the Encore self-parking if you want a short walk. First 3 hours of parking is free for anyone (both NV residents and non-residents). This Encore Theater is located just to the right of the Awakening Theater. Staff is friendly and helpful, stage view good, lights and sound good, large display screens enhance your experience, and seats are nice (they do not have drink holders). I had seen David Blaine in the past and like his show so brought my wide to check it out. Again, Davis put on an amazing and entertaining show. He uses a lot of random audience members for his show and it is great and fun to see their reactions. I particularly like the card trick he does at the end with all audience members which is baffling. I would give David Blaine's show itself 5 Stars. Overall, we had another great experience at this theater.

    Lionel Richie concert!!
    Christie B.

    What a great venue!! Lionel Richie was fantastic and the acoustics were amazing!! Easy to find at the Winn hotel and Casino as well. Go see a concert there! The Winn is also so beautiful!! Their Christmas decorations are worth stopping in to visit, they are stunning!!

    Melinda E.

    This venue is absolutely stunning! Any seat is a good one and the sound is amazing, the seats were comfortable, the line for drinks were really long but went fast . I cannot say enough great things about this show,"Awakening ". The wardrobe was phenomenal and so was the acting , acrobatics and the production in its entirety was grand!

    Lauren H.

    A beautiful venue to see Jim Gaffigan. Very elegant theater. A comedian that takes you back to memories .

    Ashley S.

    Such a classy and intimate theater! No matter where you sit, you will have a great view of the stage. I went alone to see Nas and The Las Vegas Philharmonic for the 30th anniversary of Illmatic- my goodness!!! I feel so blessed to have experienced this! The staff was super helpful. I left a shirt I purchased under the seat and lost and found had it the next day for me. Love coming to shows at this theater!

    Chris Tucker Live at the Wynn, Encore Theater (our seats)
    Sonnia P.

    Awesome show, awesome venue, awesome staff! This weekend we got our ab workout from Chris Tucker Live at the Wynn, Encore Theater! I swear I never stopped laughing from the opening act til the end! THE SHOW: At Chris Tucker Live you get the best of Def Comedy Jam and all his movies combined into one show! If you've never watched him live, add him on IG and follow him for his upcoming shows - it is SO worth it! THE VENUE/AMBIANCE: The Encore Theater is a great venue for shows. There is not one seat in its entirety that's bad! The entry way into the theater is plush and gets you ready and excited for what's to come. THE STAFF: From the moment you walk up, all the staff are so friendly and helpful. Shout out to Chester at the concession stand - man ... before we even got to our seats this man had us laughing! Everyone there working - good peeps. FOOD/DRINKS: Ok, so keep an open mind with the prices - after all, you are on the strip. And for the value, get the large - large drink, large everything. They'll last you the entire show. OVERALL: If we could go watch Chris Tucker again, we won't hesitate. If we see another event that we're interested in at the Encore Theater, we are there! Pro Tip: If you buy Orchestra Seats, you get your own bar separate from the general bar.

    Trisha V.

    Never seen him but I know he always does shows in Vegas and my mom loves him so my curiosity got me. He literally had my cry-laughing!!!!! I couldn't believe it, it takes a lot to cry from laughing so he was just amazing!!!!! Definitely now my top comedians to see every year!!!!! Even his opener was funny, Steve Correal I believe! The Encore theater was beautiful too, first time there! Such an awesome and funny show!!!

    Ali Wong bitches!

As for the food - everyone is asked to buy at least $25 worth of food, and I would've paid that just to watch the band so it was a bonus. The food itself though is nothing to rave about. I got a $15 small piece of miso black code hand roll with some vinegar sugar rice wrapped in soy paper. I could've made it at home. The Japanese Mille crepe was decent, and I think not bad for the price. I wish they sold non alcoholic fun drinks (mocktails). I would've spent it on that and a dessert. Outside of the food being average and overpriced, the service was excellent! Our server was so diligent and always refilled our waters whenever it went down. I'd come back if any shows interested me but wouldn't go just for food.

Located right on Fremont St, Backstage Bar & Billiards is a venue I went to a couple of times when I lived in Las Vegas. I've seen bands like Letter Kills and Maylene and the Sons of Disaster as well as the likes of Cryptopsy and Abysmal Dawn. The last show I went to at the venue was said Maylene and the Sons of Disaster show in what I believe was May of 2024 (I'm catching up on venue reviews). The venue itself is a decent enough size and mostly consists of standing room only, though a few chairs for what I assume is ADA are usually lined up against the wall. The sound here was always solid enough and I don't have any complaints over that and the merch area was tucked away enough in the back that it didn't get in the way of the show itself. Overall, Backstage Bar & Billiards is a solid little venue that consistently has pretty decent shows. The staff here always did what they needed to do, and my only real complaint is that I wasn't able to score Green Day tickets here when they did that special show, but either way, it's a solid enough venue.

I feel like I was here almost once a month for 4 years and it's a venue that I always enjoyed.

I managed to see bands such as Bayside, I Am The Avalanche, Killswitch Engage, Ville Valo, Static-X, Cannibal Corpse, and many many more acts over the years and I wanted to make sure I left this place the positive review I think it deserves. Overall, The House of Blues is a top notch venue and one of the best for alternative music in Las Vegas. Would it be better if it wasn't locatd in the middle of the massive Mandalay Bay Casino? Probably, but the place has great sound, a ton of space, and even some good food to go with it. I'll definitely be back in the future!
