    I had the opportunity to go to this show when I came across some tickets. I've seen a MJ show before @ a different location & wasn't sure if this was the same one & when I was picking up my tickets I was told its from when MJ was a young child growing up to an adult. That I hadn't seen. This was my first time seeing a show @ The Orleans hotel. The showroom was easy to get to, comfortable, good sound and lighter and a plus is the ticket counter is right next door!! There was no line to get in but there was a small line for drinks. The bar is right there when you walk in. There were 2 male bartenders & they both were moving kinda slow. The show had started while I was still waiting in line. Wish the boys could of been a little faster with their service. Bartender was friendly & drinks were really cheap, even a double! Glad we had only got one drink as I wanted to hurry up & get inside. I wasn't sure which door to go into to find our seats as there are no signs outside the doors telling you what sections where behind them. We went into the door closes to us. The seater guy missed us but someone he was talking to saw us & told him he had guests to seat. We got seated in our letter row but not the correct seat numbers. They were actually at the other end of the row but they had us sit down where we were. Thank God no one had the seats we were sitting in. My friend & I had trouble trying to figure out if the songs were being lip sync or if the singers were really singing?? I definitely think child MJ was lip singing but not sure about all the adult scenes??? My friend thought MJ's makeup in the last parts of the show was done horribly. It was a good show but I probably wouldn't go & see it again. It was nice to check out the Orleans showroom & I haven't been in that casino in forever. We had a nice, short night out. I don't think my friend was really impressed with the show. One thing that bothered me is the lady sitting behind practically jumped on the back of my chair when she got scared during the Thriller song. Darn lady didn't even apologize for her behavior. You gotta be careful/aware of your surroundings peeps!!

    Wow what a show!! All the dancers are sooooo talented and they get the crowd pretty amped. I screamed so much I lost my voice. Definitely coming back to this one! 100000000% recommend.

    Jackson 5 era was amazing!

    This Tribute show is so much fun and the energy is great! You can't help but sing along and want to get up and dance! Love the cast... A must see when you're in Vegas!

    What an amazingly talented group of artists that truly respect and reflect Michael Jackson's career. I was in awe and amazed! Stood up and danced to the music, cheering and even drop some tears in fascination of their performance. Our hostess was Sofia, she is so caring and professional. The whole evening was of of the most fun I have had in Las Vegas. I highly recommend this show on the strip.

    This show leaves me speechless everytime. My husband and I have seen it twice, but again more…read morerecently. We decided to surprise our friends with tickets and no context at all. We were super excited knowing what we had watched before, so was excited to see their reaction to it, too. The venue itself is amazing. It's a circus tent right outside of Cesear's palace. You walk in and are greeted with the funniest, kindest people ready to move you to your seats. Your server comes over quickly to ensure that any drinks are flowing! The chairs in the establishment are hilarious and just basic chairs with some designs on them. The venue itself quickly filled up and the show started. It was funny, sexy, raunchy, and jaw-dropping. Half of the show I kept looking at our friends making sure they were having a great time and, to no surprise, they were. The circus acts are unbelievable and the comedic relief dabbled in makes it even more of an experience. This is, by far, one of the best shows I've seen in Vegas! Highly recommend.

    What the f*ck did I just watch?!…read more Go into this one knowing there is zero traditional storyline - and honestly, that's part of the charm! It's a collection of jaw-dropping circus acts, comedy, and "how is this even happening right now?" moments stitched together with a very loose thread. It's wild, a little raunchy, super impressive, and totally committed to its own chaos. The performers are insanely talented, and the energy in the room makes it feel like you're part of the show even when you're just sitting there trying to process what you just saw. Definitely not your typical Vegas production - but that's exactly why it works! Go in blind, lean into it, and just let it be weird.

    My wife and I saw O! this weekend and had a great time. We were sat in section 103, row F and found…read morewe were maybe a few rows too close for our own liking (had to turn our heads quite a bit to see the full stage picture). I got selected for audience participation, which was sort of my nightmare, but it was fine in the end. The clowning was fun and didn't feel mean-spirited. Just a heads up - don't sit on the aisle if that's going to be tough for you. We really liked the combination of acrobatics, physical comedy, practical effects, and the amazing display of technology. It was truly a spectacle. The seats were comfy, the theater was gorgeous, and we really liked their signature frozen drink, the "O!" with rum. It was delightful. I had a tough time with the line - it wasn't well organized and didn't move very quickly. The line has you queuing up in the middle of the casino floor, sort of a classic recipe for overstimulation if you arrive any early than your show time.

    My first time watching O, and it was such a great show! I'd suggest arriving a little earlier…read morebecause the two lines to get into the show were super long. My friends and I sat up top, and we actually had a really good view. You're able to see everything happening on stage, including some things that people sitting closer to the front might not be able to see. The show had some really impressive stunts and choreography. Definitely a fun show to watch if you're looking for something to do while in Vegas!

    A show well worth your Caesars tier reward, or even actual hard-earned cash…read more Paranormal is a show starring mentalist Frederic da Silva. It is located in the Horseshoe Casino at the Laugh Factory. This is on the 2nd floor near the poker room, which is on the side of the main casino closer to the Strip. However, the box office is a shared box office for all shows and is back along the main floor of the casino. Actually, it is on the slightly elevated level near hotel registration. If you need to redeem some sort of tier reward for free show tickets, you'll wanna go there first. You'll also want to give yourself plenty of time in case of issues that may arise so that you don't get in a little late like I did. Since we were a bit tardy, we kinda had to dig our way through curtains that had been closed already, then get help from an usher to find our seats. We ended up at one of the tables in the front-most part of general admission, and they weren't too bad aside from tall dudes semi-blocking in front of us. The premium section feels like a decent upgrade for out-of-pocket customers. I don't think we missed that much. Frederic was in the middle of some stuff with some volunteers from the audience on stage, which we saw most or all of the endings of. On that note, he kept having different people come up (mostly selected by frisbees or balls) throughout the 70-ish minute show to demonstrate that there's no way he has that many audience plants. He also states that he doesn't pre-arrange anything anyway. The show is comprised of quite a few mind-reading / prediction tricks, and a little sleight of hand in a so-called "intermission" (not a real break). Many of these effects are familiar to fans of magic/mentalism, but they still feel fresh since it's just plain cool to see them in person. Frederic himself also is charming, funny, off-the-cuff, and just an all-around good entertainer. His pacing is also great, with no real lulls. On top of that, the musical motifs are well-timed and not too obtrusive, and the sound volume and clarity are great. We didn't stay for the free meet-and-greet, but he was available for it tonight. Paranormal is simply a great show for fans of mentalism. It's lasted 13 years, reportedly, and that's gotta be because it's just a polished show that's appealing to all ages and audiences. Check it out if you have the chance!

    This show was amazing!! Frederic Da Silva is crazy awesome!…read moreIf you don't believe in mind reading, see this show!! You will become a believer!! What a great show! Audience participation was great! Idk how he does what he does, but he's amazing!! What a nice guy too! Didn't want the show to end!!

    Such a fun Vegas night out!…read more I honestly didn't know exactly what to expect going into Atomic Saloon, but it ended up being such a fun experience. The whole place has this crazy Wild West saloon atmosphere that starts before the show even does, and the intimate setup makes you feel way more involved than you would at a typical Vegas show. The cast was SO entertaining. There was a really fun mix of comedy, dancing, acrobatics, and some seriously impressive stunts. The show is definitely raunchy and completely unfiltered, so this is not something I'd recommend if you're easily offended But if you can appreciate ridiculous humor and don't mind getting a little uncomfortable, you're going to have a good time. I also loved the audience interaction because it made the night feel spontaneous instead of like you were just sitting there watching a performance. You never really knew what was coming next! The venue itself is super cute and really adds to the experience. It feels more like stepping into a crazy little saloon than walking into a traditional theater. Definitely a fun option for a date night, girls' night, or anyone visiting Vegas who wants something a little different. Come for the acrobatics, stay for the absolute chaos Definitely worth experiencing at least once!

    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.

    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!

    This show has been running for 30 years, and it kind of shows. Although I'm sure the acrobatic acts…read morehave changed over the years to keep it fresh, it's still entertaining, though not as grandiose as other Cirque shows. 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.
