From saloon gossip to shady dealings, it was a night to remember. Everyone in the audience becomes a living participant in the murder mystery, plus solving it. Exceeded expectations. Artful, engaging, playful, superbly crafted and staged. Everyone was transformed to the late 1800s; small town gossip, envy, big egos and suspicions. Who's done it? Plenty of hints and twists. If you ever get the chance to attend one, don't miss it--just watch your back... you never know who's got a secret!

The theme was Once Upon a Spell--a wizarding world filled with quirky professors, suspicious spells, and a twist I didn't see coming... I was cast as a strict Professor with sky-high standards, and my sister played the hilariously disheveled Professor of Animalia. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in character, mingling with other guests to uncover clues and solve the mystery. The Cloak and Dagger team was incredible--super organized without being overwhelming. We received just the right amount of info via email beforehand (character backstories, costume ideas, etc.) and were given more tasks and secrets throughout the evening. Every detail was thoughtful and well executed. It was exactly the magical escape we both needed. Thank you, Cloak and Dagger, for such a creative and unforgettable night. If you're thinking about going--DO IT!

The screen is huge, making the whole movie experience feel immersive and fun. They also offer limited-edition popcorn buckets, which are such a nice touch and make it feel even more special.

    Cinépolis Luxury Cinema is overall a cool experience, but if you're going to call something…read more"luxury," it should fully live up to it. The seats recline really low and you can order food and drinks directly from your seat, which is convenient. There's also a lounge with a full bar right when you walk in, which is a nice touch. That said, the place feels a little dated and could use some updating. Even the screen didn't feel as HD as I expected. The food is average which is fine, I wasn't expecting a five-star dinner but the popcorn was actually really good. My main complaint (and not just mine, the person I was with said the same thing) is the headrest design. It's not comfortable and gave me neck pain and a headache. The headrest sits too high and pushes your shoulders back, leaving no support under your neck, so you kind of have to put something behind your neck to make it comfortable. Overall, still a fun movie experience, just needs some updates to really feel "luxury."

    Our stay at Circle Bar B Guest Ranch was truly breathtaking…read more The views alone are unforgettable, but Cabin 12 was absolutely perfect--beautiful, spotless, and so peaceful. And the mattress... wow. It took everything in me to get out of that bed! It felt like it just embraced you, and waking up to those top window views made it even harder to leave. The food was incredible--both breakfast and dinner were beyond amazing. Enrique, Rafael, and the entire team (I wish I could remember every name!) made us feel so special. The level of care, attention to detail, and overall service was easily 1000 out of 100. Kat, thank you for everything--you truly made our stay unforgettable. The stables were just as impressive. Jack and all the handlers were not only knowledgeable about the ranch's history, but you can clearly see the love and care they have for the horses--it meant so much to witness that. I'm a little timid around horses, but Russell made the experience so comfortable and special for me. He paired me with Tator Tot, and I can't even describe the connection--he could sense when I was nervous and responded so gently. It was such a beautiful, unforgettable moment. My husband rode Big Elvis, and let's just say... the name fits perfectly--what a character! This ranch is truly one of a kind. An unforgettable experience from beginning to end. We will absolutely be back--this is now our home away from home.

He gave us welcome drinks along with a tour of the property. There's a game room with a pool table, plenty of outdoor seating areas, a full bar in the lobby, outdoor pool area with lounge chairs and hot tub. Amazing amenities!! We stayed in a canyon cabin, highly recommend, plenty of space, no shared walls, has a great porch with seating to enjoy the views. Breakfast and dinner is included in the stay, we loved every meal. It's exactly what you'd think you'd get on a ranch, chicken ribs grits greens for dinner and eggs sausage bacon pancakes fruit for breakfast. They even reserve a table for you throughout your stay, a lovely touch! We also booked a horse ride during our stay, we did the earliest ride to avoid the heat. 10/10 must do, my first time on a horse and they made me feel very comfortable. We loved every second of the ride. Thanks Bobby! The very least to say, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the years to come! Thank you to everyone at the Ranch

The food (we each ordered a steak) was good but a little pricey and just needed salt, the staff was helpful and friendly, and contrary to previous reviews, the ladies room was well-supplied and clean. The one negative is the table seating. It's too crowded. It is very difficult to get out of your seat - it's a struggle to pass through your row. The music before the shows and afterwards is too loud and make it difficult to have conversations. We would go back to The Canyon - but this time we would sit in the General Admissions seating.

Waiting 1 1/2 hours for food to be delivered to the table was terrible. Perhaps Canyon should do pre-order meals in the future for better service. I know we don't come here for the food or the service. But we are made to purchase a meal, so it should at least arrive at the tables in less than an hour. We arrived 2 hours before the show and ate during the opening band. But let's face it Canyon Club gets amazing band and has incredible sound. We'll always be back for more. There's just room for improvement with the meal service. I saw quite a few people get up to complain food delivery was too long. Some were eating at 10pm. The band started at 8.

Upon arrival, guest have literally no idea what to do when they arrive at the restaurant. No one is there to greet anyone, we were just left to wander awkwardly around. While it says the show is 7 to 10 PM we were unable to get out of there until almost 11. This really ruined our after event plans, as we had no way to gracefully leave. The show was running late (there was a big lag between the salad and entrée with no activities or instructions on what to do during that awkward lull), and when finally it was "solved" (about 10:40pm), the performers and host positioned themselves in front of the only room exit, so they could introduce cast members. And after that-then even though it was 10:45PM, while they were still blocking the exit, they opted to single out everyone who had a birthday or anniversary, and sing happy birthday not once but twice in Long form. We really wanted to leave, and it was impossible. I've been to many murder, mystery evenings, and never been to one that there were not props involved. Usually there are evidence Props placed all around the room and included on the evidence table with diagrams, etc. So it was disappointing that no real thought went into creating "evidence". For over $650 for 6 of us (we bought cocktails at the bar), and our after plans completely ruined due to us not being able to get out until almost at 11 o'clock, I probably would have given this a two star rating but the food was very good and the actors at our table were fun to be around.

I'll review them separately. Brown Betties: When was the last time you saw an amazing burlesque show?? If you haven't seen the Brown Betties, you are in for a TREAT!! The writing, acting, singing, and dancing were spectacular! I loved the show because their talent held the audience's attention while capturing many of the experiences men and women have in relationships, and giving fair attention to both. My friend and I left raving about the show, and telling our friends not to miss out when they have another chance to attend! My only advice is that I would get the dinner/seat reservations in advance if they are available...the food was excellent, and the show is even more enjoyable with a seat!! I would definitely attend again in the future, and hope new shows are offered. These incredibly talented women provide entertainment with a twist in all the right places! BYOB (Be Your Own Betty): The Brown Betties hosted a wonderful private party for my birthday a few days after their show. Having seen their moves on stage, I knew I would not be disappointed! However, my expectations were exceeded! They were professional, reaching out to me before the event to answer questions, help with advertising, and asked for my preferences regarding refreshments (which were amazing!!). On the day of the event, they came early to set everything up, and did a beautiful job transforming our space. The women were very gracious, and my friends quickly felt comfortable with them. They did a spectacular job of leading us through exercises that had a profound impact on how we viewed ourselves as women--my friends are still talking about this experience to this day! They also taught us routines and moves that helped us find our "Inner Betties". Finally, they had a few tricks up their sleeves to make sure we would never forget this day, and that the lessons we learned would help make us better women to ourselves. At the end, I felt that the entire experience was entertaining and personally valuable...reflecting lessons and experiences I wanted to share with my friends...I didn't have to do any of the heavy lifting for my party, and was able to truly enjoy it as a guest! I recommend the BYOB experience for a special birthday, ladies night, bachelorette party, or whatever you have in mind. Gather your friends, then call Brown Betties...these women have it covered!!!
