Box seats
Joe Z.

Came here for the first time to see the Notebook musical. My only regret was not getting orchestra seating i.I got box seats but you Could only see half the stage . Other than that, the venue is amazing.. . Acoustics were excellent and everything was well organized. Parking is across the street but they have shuttle service that picks up and drops off if you don't want to walk. Concession stands are available, but snack offerings are limited. The lobby area is spacious and the art deco is beautiful. Staff were professional and friendly. The atmosphere was friendly and inviting. Overall highly recommend and will be returning for future shows.

I was able to experience the Las Vegas Philharmonic for the first time. The Smith Center is easy to get to and plenty of parking downtown in the garages right across the street. The building is beautiful inside and out. I had box seats. Great view. There is also a bar to purchase non-alcoholic drinks and cocktails. Highly recommend seeing a show or concert here. Made for a wonderful evening.

Vegas culture - seeing the Nutcracker

Another enjoyable evening at the Smith Center this time for our holiday tradition of seeing the Nutcracker. This year they returned to allowing you to take your hot cocoa to your seat which was wonderful and allowed you to savor it during the show. The show has been reworked this year. For one, they no longer have the video display which outlines each act of the story and tells you what to expect. For someone who didn't know the story this might make it harder to follow what was going on. They have new sets and costumes as well. Honestly the first half seemed worse than last year while the second half seemed better. Still it was overall an enjoyable night!

I absolutely love the Smith Center. It's gorgeous, the staff is friendly, and there's a lot of great seating options. I've sat everywhere from the balcony to just a few rows from the stage in the orchestra section. I can't recall all the shows I've seen but I remember My Fair Lady being the first one and Hamilton being the last. I also remember seeing Tootsie and Six the Musical a few times. The sound has been great every single time. Doors open about an hour before and you first go through security. I then recommend heading to merch if you want some merch and then finding a nice spot to hang out and relax while you wait for the show to start. I can't wait to come back. In just a few years my niece will be old enough to enjoy it as well.

Even though I've attended more shows and Broadway production's than I can count over the years at The Smith Center this was my first concert. My Hubs is a longtime Robin Trower fan. Decades of musical mastery, iconic albums and that unmistakable sound that has influenced countless players. A true guitar legend with cheap seat prices- 2 tickets please! Hearing him play live in such an intimate, high-quality setting was something special. All in all, The Smith Center delivered a fantastic concert experience that was smoke free with comfortable seating and sonically outstanding. An always helpful staff with great bartenders and small bites. I'm already looking forward to my next show!

I was shocked to see I've never written a review for one of my favorite places to be in the city! I have been coming to The Smith Center since my first show (The Book of Mormon) in 2014. First, this place is beautiful! There's a parking garage right across which is usually $6. The area has developed so much over the years, so there's a few businesses around. Second, the staff is always so kind. Whether it's the ticket checkers, security, ushers, or bar staff, we have never had a bad time. We have been to a number of shows over the years and have sat in many different areas. Typically we try to keep it to the lower level of the gallery, but lately we've been going for the dress circle. We just saw The Lion King in the 2nd row center of the dress circle and it was perfect! The view is great, you can still see everything going on, and it's not as pricey as the lower seats and not as high as the upper seats. I've also been here a number of times for the Disney in Schools program and to see the Las Vegas Philharmonic, so I've been in the lower sections for those. I was also lucky enough to get moved to the lower section for Six (squeal!!!). If I could swing it every time, I definitely would sit there. But I think the more tiered seating of the upper levels makes it better for view when there's people in front of you (I'm kinda short). I absolutely love The Smith Center. Their Broadway series programming is always on point, there's typically at least 1 show that I want to see each year. My husband and I have said that we will do the pass for multiple shows one year, just haven't had anything to entice me yet. Not only do they do the Broadway series, but they stage local theater as well. I've seen local shows here, live music, dance, educational presentations, etc. There's so much to offer here and I'm so happy they have been so successful!

The Smith Center is truly a beloved cultural hub in Las Vegas. The building itself is beautiful, with elegant architecture that makes the entire experience feel special from the moment you arrive. The venue is well run, clean, and organized, and the staff is friendly and helpful, which makes getting in and seated smooth even on busy show nights. The performances are consistently memorable, whether you're seeing Broadway productions, ballet, concerts, or special events. The sound quality is excellent, and most seats offer a great view of the stage, though choosing seats wisely definitely enhances the experience. It's a refreshing alternative to typical Strip entertainment and perfect for date nights, family outings, or a cultural night out. Parking can take a little extra time during peak events, so arriving early is a good idea, but overall it's absolutely worth the visit. The Smith Center continues to be one of the best places in Vegas to enjoy live performing arts. Note: no outside food or drinks

Rob L.

Amazing performing art center. Many of the balcony seats all have good views. Multiple bars and concessions to get drinks and snacks before going in. Multiple parking garages around the symphony park for $6-10. Great show and experience.

Saturday night went to see the NEW Nutcracker. Seeing the Nutcracker has become a family tradition. The Smiths Center is so beautiful & just a special place. The ballet now has a live orchestra, new costumes and lighting. I mean it has really been upgraded. I love the old one but this one you have to see!! You aren't allowed to take video or pictures during the show so you will have to go check it out. See my pics of Maddy and me

The Smith Center is like no other venue in Las Vegas. It is a cultural epicenter for the arts. Most recently we saw A Beautiful Noise. Getting in and out can get busy closer to showtime. We typically arrive when the doors open and enjoy a cocktail before the show and make use of their lounge area, which makes parking a breeze. I don't think there is a bad seat in the house but I recommend binoculars if you're seated in the balcony in order to see facial expressions. The staff is friendly and accommodating. As of this review guest are allowed to bring an empty clear bottle for water. There are water fill stations inside. Drink prices are typical for the area with a double rum and coke going for $17. Parking is $6.

Just saw "Hell's Kitchen" at Reynolds Hall (Amazing Alicia Keycute version of growing up in New York) Smith Center is the easiest and most enjoyable traditional performing art venue in Vegas: safe, fast e-ticket only check-in, affordable $6 event parking, convenient sandwiches and snacks on mezzanine level, easy access to all seats, fast entry and exit. Plus, it's just totally GORGEOUS inside. We sat in Box Tier Z (supposedly obstructed view) right next to/above the stage...FANTASTIC!

The Smith Center is the premier place to see a theater show in Las Vegas! The building is a beautiful Art Deco style with amazing architectural detail. The staff are polite and helpful. They generally have cash bars available to get drinks before the shows and at intermissions. We were fortunate to get tickets for Hamilton. The production was great. However, the staff we interacted with made this experience great!

Ashley S.

After all of the years that I have lived in Vegas- I cannot believe that I have never been to the Smith Center until recently! A friend of mine gave me a ticket to see Hamilton last week, box seats at that! What an amazing venue! The Smith Center is conveniently located downtown, near the freeway, with a parking garage right across the street. Parking was only $6 for the entire duration of my stay. Drinks inside of the venue are very reasonably priced. The venue itself is beautiful! Now having been exposed to this venue, I will most definitely be returning for more shows!

The owner actually comes around to each table and asks if you are comfortable. It's a magical experience. You will be served tea by the staff which are the children of the owner. The three courses are served in a variety of different treats on a three tier tray. All sorts of danish, finger sandwiches, and fresh fruit. You can feed and feast together. Our visit was to celebrate a special occasion, a birthday. All the arrangements were made ahead of time. Many special events can be arranged here and celebrated. While we no longer reside in the area we will always remember a woman's dream to make the best possible life milestones that much better for those in the community. The cost is minimal at most . They will help you capture the joy with lots of images to remember those lasting moments. Thank you to the whole staff for making someone special feel even more important and loved.

The fall menu was tasteful, full of flavor and extremely pleasing to the eye. First was the salad with a tea tasting of Limonata al Sole. This little dish was loaded with a dressing that i was never tasted before yet I was please with how light it was on my tongue. The aroma of the Tea demanded my attention as the own pored me a cup. Next, was the lentil butter squash soup with veggies and a homemade biscuit. Temperature was just right and the flavor was delightful. Finally came the tray of the lovely fall goodies. Scones with Home made butter and Strawberry jam? So good. The sandwiches? Each triangle cuter than the next. The puffs? Not one complaint. And the deserts? Almost couldn't enjoy they because i so full. The hospitality of everyone working Cobblestone had me so grateful that i chose to spend my day off there. I have already booked a table for their Phantom of the Opera event in November. Attending tea here will become a regular self care routine for me.
