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.

We did the lvl 3a experience pass and found it more than worth the price of admission. Omega mart was awesome. Interstellar arc was even better. Everyone should do interstellar arc at least once. Looking forward to seeing this technology grow and expand. We also did the Escape Game as our other premium experience, and it was also a good experience. The additional filler VR attractions were fun to do once each, but I probably wouldn't do just them. Omega mart, arc, and escape game made it worth it. Would gladly return for those.

From the crowds to the price point, I figured yeah this show's going to blow Awakening out of the park. The acrobatics? Absolutely The technology? 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.

There is nothing in town that compares to it, when it comes to value and level of performance, it is an incredible production where the theatre is not too big, but the stage is semicircular with 3D background on large screen, and the projections are so well incorporated into acts, so it gives the impression that it is one large theatre. I love the closeness to the performers, everything happening right in front of your very eyes... It is so much fun for children and adults! Performers are so adorable, acts changing quickly, there is even water on the stage! What an incredible production of Titanic story; gives me chills every time I see it! This one show represents the good old Vegas variety show and brings some nostalgia ... Do not miss it!

The stunts were really cool too. Had a nice variety of acts, production was decent. The only reason it got a 3 star was because the intermission guy, this goofy guy trope. Who just takes it over the top, which makes it seem cringey. If they replace him, or his character I would bump up my rating. Overall, it was good show, worth a watch, just don't pay full price!

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food tasted. Legitimately if their food was served at a restaurant, the restaurant would do well strictly off how good the food tastes. The cocktails were also really good. I ordered the Cool Down Lap, Mule in the Paddock, and Crodino. The Cool Down Lap was a little watered down. The Mule in the Paddock, and Crodino were really good and I would recommend to anyone looking for a good n/a cocktail. The service was good throughout my experience. The space is pretty large and can host a pretty large gathering. I would definitely recommend the F1 Arcade to anyone looking for a space to host a fun event.

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.

My only catch was, it's not walkable from the stripe, I had to taxi to the Rio. For some reason I thought it was at the NY hotel. Looks like it used to be there and moved to the Rio. The theater is located on the 2nd floor near Smash Burger. I didn't know that you can't bring bottles into the show? Doh! They were able to watch it, kind of. Lucky me and it was there after the show ended. Seats are nice. They are movable. Now onto the show. It's so much fun!!!! The crowd really got into it, and so did I. The songs pair well with the dances. Go in and have fun. This isn't a literal interpretations of the Star Wars, it's pure fun. There is a bar and snacks that you can purchase. Unfortunately right now I have invisalign and can't eat or drink anything without taking out the trays. Boo. There is a mini gift shop. I saw a couple of shirts that I wanted to buy, but chickened out. Have a blast and enjoy the show.

A MUST if you go to Vegas…read more This was the highlight of our Vegas trip. And it was the most inexpensive activity we did all weekend. The Empire Strips Back is a caberate parody on Star Wars; Star Wars fan or not, you'll have a freakin' great time. The music ranges from Biggie to Taylor Swift to all out 80s. Ladies are hot and talented; fun and sexy choreography. This show is located inside the NY Hotel; and there is a bar once you gain entry; there's also intermission (and restrooms). There's not a bad seat in the house, so you can spend a bit more to sit closer, but honestly, the cheap seats are great too.

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)

We sat far back and that didn't help as it was hard to see the stage performance. There was cool stuff going on in the aerial parts of the show where people flew out over the audience. A lot of times, we caught ourselves simply watching the video screens of MJ rather than the stage since it was easier to see. Of course, the performers in Cirque du Soleil are always skilled and excellent, but the show just didn't maximize them well. The trampoline acrobats were good, but their segment got boring because it was too long. The pole performer was good in Dirty Diana. The lady sitting on the moon was just there and not sure why. I would not recommend this show personally. Mad Apple was better for a Cirque show.

Check in was easy and there is a bar right outside where you can grab a drink before heading in. You can also keep the drinks coming inside, or go for a bucket of beer for the table. The pizza was great too. They have a real pizza oven and I had the Pear Gorgonzola which I would definitely order again. Be sure to participate in the show because that is half the fun. Just a heads up though, some parts get pretty loud. If you are not a fan of big noises you might want to sit toward the back.
