| - This review is based on our experience with a comedy show in the Plaza showroom.
We purchased tickets online and were instructed to pick them up at Will Call. A word to the wise: Will Call is located at the concierge desk, which is next to the front desk, a brisk walk away from the showroom. This may have been the case for this show only, but our tickets were not actually at Will Call; they were being held, along with everyone else's at the door to the showroom. It took a lot of walking and being misdirected, but we eventually got into the venue.
Another word to the wise: this place is teeny tiny. Maybe 250-300 people max. The seating is arranged almost exactly like the South Point showroom: the front area has long tables radiating out from the stage, while the back section has round booths. It seems like this is the go-to arrangement for a venue with a semi-circle stage, but all it gives the audience is a bad viewing angle and a sore neck.
There is nothing special about the venue itself. Typical Vegas, with a gold ceiling, giant chandeliers and red velvet booths.
On this occasion, it seems like the show was vastly oversold, leading the ushers to pull chairs from wherever they could and seat people in the aisles. Kind of a bummer.
A tip: there is drink service within the venue, but it's by waitress, so it can be slow and the waitress (just the one, mind you) covered maybe half the venue. While it is "technically" against the rules, there doesn't seem to be any restriction on bringing drinks from the casino bar into the showroom.
While I don't know how much of our experience was due to an outside company running the show itself, the experience was meh.
