    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.

    Wonderful show!! So fun! So well choreographed!!energy is off the hook! I really can't say enough! My husband and I enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to return to Vegas to see them again!!

    The best Michael Jackson show experience ever!!! And The best of vegas winner !!!! Mj Evolution is Amazing!

    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.

    If you are visiting Las Vegas you seriously MUST go and see this show!!! This has got to be one of the best shows I have ever seen and I've lived in Las Vegas for many years and have been going to shows for many as well. I am involved in the entertainment business so I've seen much. This show is so dynamic! It is so upbeat and high energy that it will have you jumping up from your seat, singing, dancing, clapping, screaming. It's THAT good. The choreography, the dancing, absolutely amazing. The colors, the digital screens, the most popular songs everyone knows and loves...just awesome. I've seen it 4 times already in a few months and plan to go 2-3 more times this summer. Love that is starts out with the Jackson 5 and goes through MJ's career. All the MJ's and dancers are wonderful and Michael Firestone just shines as the star of the show. He is most excellent at what he does and will make you feel as if you are watching the real Michael himself on that stage. Can't say enough good things about this so I highly recommend you buy yourself a ticket and go ~ you'll see for yourself!

    Jackson 5 era was amazing!

From the second it starts, it feels like organized chaos in the best possible way. The crowd work is absolutely ruthless but also hilarious. You spend half the time laughing and the other half quietly hoping you do not make eye contact. Somehow, they walk that perfect line where it is edgy without being awkward. The side acts are insane. Like, how is this even physically possible level talent. Every time you think it cannot get crazier, it does. It is part circus, part comedy show, part did I just witness that moment. And the Gazillionaire is the perfect ringmaster for it all, completely unhinged in the most controlled way possible. He keeps everything moving, keeps the crowd on edge, and somehow makes chaos feel like it is exactly on schedule. Going with a close friend made it even better. There is something about sharing those did that really just happen looks the whole night that makes it stick. If you are in Vegas and want something that is actually memorable and not just expensive for no reason, this is it. Easily one of the best shows on the Strip.

There's amazing acrobatic performances and the hour and a half flew by fast. I loved the intimate tent setting and no seat is a bad seat. The chairs are, however, uncomfortable and seated very closely together. There are bar waitresses who walk around and can also take your drink order, but we had already bought drinks from the outside bar to bring inside. The tent is located by Hell's Kitchen and Caesar's Palace Valet.

Went to 3rd floor bar, lots of employees visible and quite a few customers playing the arcade racing games. Just a few customers eating. Took a while after I approached the bar and looked at the menus for an employee to greet me. The locals deal is half off most of the menu and drinks except specialty cocktails. I had a glass of prosecco, 6 taco flight and mini doughnuts. Tacos were barely warm. I don't know how a not busy kitchen can't serve the food hot. After I started eating them I noticed 1 or 2 ingredients were missing from each. The birria was most noticeably missing the BBQ sauce/aioli. The Tandoori chicken tacos were ok but needed the missing pickles/pickled onions, same with the mushroom tacos. There was plenty of meat and mushrooms on the tacos for the regular price of $22. I noticed Al Mancini, a local food reviewer was there. I guess they were only concerned about his food. I did tell one of the servers at the bar about the missing ingredients. The mini doughnuts were ok. When I first got the bill it was wrong (extra item added). On the second bill the tacos were taken off. I appreciated that but hadn't asked. I told the server to thank the manager. Perhaps the next meal will be better, it's unlikely I'll return tho. It may be worth it to go for food with the half price deal, if you're at Caesars and need to eat.

Oh for sure It's like comparing apple and oranges but the orange is a little dry (Awakening) - good but not as good as the apple. Now here's why O pissed me off. I did my due diligence and researched whether or not photography was ok. https://www.cirquedusoleil.com/usa/las-vegas/o/buy-tickets The website stated that pocket sized cameras and cellphones were ok. Upon arrival, I double checked with the staff, "IS CELLPHONE PHOTOGRAPHY DURING THE SHOW OK?" Both staff said "Yes, just no video and no flash." Tell me why both of these staffs were the ones going around telling people to put their devices away during the show even though many people were only taking pictures? :| (I will say, once I saw they started picking on people about photography at the very beginning, I didn't bother trying to take pics myself - so yay didn't get publicly shamed LMAO) The show itself was incredible but the staff and their terrible communication and then shining their lights and calling out guests for taking photos was most definitely not nice in any way. I think it's ridiculous to say "We encourage photos" on the website and then have their staff go and pick on rule following show attendees. Organizers need to make up their minds on the photo policy and train their staff accordingly.

As MOH, I planned the party and spent a lottt of time going through reviews on Yelp and Reddit bc there was a lot of pressure to find the best option and decide for the group. Many reviews of the bigger shows said the performers had been doing it for so long that they looked like they were just going through the motions.. that the acts were unimpressive.. that the theater was so big you could only see the tricks on a screen, or that it was overpriced. After all my research, I'm SO glad I decided on Frederic -- the bride said this magic show was her favorite part of the trip!! (and we went to Tao dayclub the day before lol) :) I love that it was in a small, intimate theater, so that you were up close no matter where you sat. And there was SO much audience interaction -- our bride even caught a frisbee and got to go on stage -- which was fun and helped make it even more special for her. The mentalism was such a cool departure from traditional physical magic tricks -- we all loved it and had many *gasp* moments. We even got to meet Frederic after, and he performed more mentalism up close, which was cool. HIGHLY recommend this show!! (Also, it was $30/ticket, which is a price you cannot beat in Vegas)

Absinthe's poster really gives you a better idea of what you are going to see, whereas Atomic Saloon's poster looks more akin to a unisex Thunder Down Under when it's really more R-rated Hee Haw. The loose story involves a brothel and a host of characters that interact with the facility and its matriarch but the comedy is really where it's at. From the Irish dancers with questionable teeth (when the bread started flying I could not stop laughing!) to the various aerial feats displayed, Atomic Saloon has a little bit of everything though it's not for the faint of heart--several people in our section left a few minutes into the show. As much fun as we had, the seats on the second floor are not great and you end up missing some of the action. Even more disappointing was that there were quite a few empty seats on the main level, and it would have made for an even better show if we had been given the opportunity to move forward like we did at OPM, another Spiegelworld show that used to run at Cosmopolitan.
