If you're driving, parking can be a little tricky. Enter off Las Vegas Blvd through the Harrah's…read moreentrance, stay to the right, and follow the signs for The Linq Hotel & Casino. You'll go through an underground tunnel with a few twists and turns before reaching the parking gate, where you can pull a ticket. Once parked, head through the Casino towards O'Shea's and exit onto The Linq Promenade. Take a left and walk to the end -- the venue will be on your left as you head toward the High Roller. I'd recommend giving yourself a solid 10-15 minutes to park and walk over. It was a Tuesday night, so getting in was quick and easy. There's a security guard at the door who will wand you for weapons. One thing to note: the venue doesn't have its own restrooms. The nearest bathrooms are three doors down the promenade. I'd suggest going before you enter, because if you leave and come back, you'll have to go through security again. The main showroom is upstairs, and seating is hosted based on your ticket type. I was flying solo this time, and they let me sit right up front (luckily, I wasn't called on stage). They have waitresses and bar staff serving cocktails and bar food. The venue itself is large and open, with more of a club vibe than a traditional theater. Michael Yo was excellent -- very clean, sharp, and genuinely funny. Since he's a local Summerlin resident, don't forget to support local talent!

I purchased seven premium tickets for Luenell's comedy show at the Jimmy Kimmel Comedy Club, but we…read morewere told we were late and our seats had been given to others. We were not late; we were given drink coupons by the receptionist at the front, which could only be used at the downstairs bar. By the time we got our drinks and made it upstairs, our seats had already been taken. When we asked to speak with the manager, a rude young woman named Jilly informed us that it was their policy and claimed it was written on the ticket, which it is not. When we requested proof, she simply walked away and never returned. This kind of behavior is unacceptable, and I believe she should be fired. If I do not receive a refund for the difference in ticket prices, I will be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Luenell was good. This poor review is only for the venue and customer service.

I'm a live standup comedy fan and am still mourning the loss of Wiseguys in the Arts District…read more Wiseguys was always our go-to comedy club as locals, and I finally had time to check out the newest (and now lone) location at Town Square. It's better because parking is free, easy, and plentiful, and this new space is about twice the size of the old one. So there's a lot of good here. I purchased tickets to see Lavell Crawford and paid a reasonable $41 per ticket (including tax and fees). The show quality was good (the two openers not so much), and I didn't like that the staff didn't cut the headliner off when he went on TOO long (so long that the later show started LATE). It became brutal after sitting in there for nearly 2.5 hours! Also, the staff wouldn't let anyone leave so it was a really bad experience. I don't know if this is common here, but it was really, really bad and would make me think twice before seeing another show here. Please, staff: enforce time limits and have the courage to stop the show when the time is up! This location has an expanded food menu with better dishes than the old downtown club. Wings, sliders, nachos, burgers, and more are on offer and reasonably priced for a club. You could easily make an entire evening of it including dinner. The food offerings are substantial and not just throwaway bar snacks. Drinks are a mixed bag, and they do not offer free refills on any of the fountain sodas (lame). Service was quick and efficient, and settling the tab was a breeze. The vibe is classic comedy club, with dim lights, rows of seats that share long communal tables, and a stage that feels close enough to catch every punchline. Seating is first come first served, so arrive early for the best views. Some of the seats can have a blocked view of the stage, so beware. A doorman will seat you when you arrive. Wiseguys features a good mix of touring headliners and local, up and coming acts. Live comedy will always be a mixed bag, so you never know what you're going to get. Tickets are reasonably priced and the folks working the door are so nice and welcoming. The venue is roomy yet intimate, and is a great place to catch a stand-up show. Best of all, it's not super touristy like the rest of the major comedy clubs in town, and its off-Strip location means parking is easy, prices are lower, and the vibe has a more local flair.

Cool place to see some comedy if you could actually hear it. We came to see one of our favorite…read morecomedians at Wiseguys, only the crown was more interested in talking amongst themselves, that the comedian wasn't able to do his set. He kept asking the crowd and a specific section to quiet down so he could finish, but they wouldn't comply. I wish the Wiseguys security team would of stepped in to help those groups quiet down so the comedian could finish his set. We didn't pay to listen to other people talk all night. The service was pretty slow, there are very limited amounts of servers for a ton of people. We sat down for Atleast 20 mins before being able to put in a drink order. The pros - we ordered the fries at the table, they were awesome! So hot and crispy. The drinks were good, but we did ask a few times for limes which never showed up. All in all I would give it another try!

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.
