All my life I've wanted to watch Michael Jackson perform live, but his tickets always sold out or where too expensive...and I was just a kid without a job. MJ Live was the closest way for me to be transported to my childhood dreams. The performer did such a good job, there were times my husband and I felt it was really Michael. The performer isn't trying to trick you by any means, he talks at times in his normal voice, just to keep us all in check.
We purchased our tickets on Groupon. Only catch is you need to pick up your real tickets and pick a time in person at the Stratosphere. This does suck up a good chunk of your Vegas time. The day we arrived on a Friday, that's the first thing we did was pick up our tickets and asked for a Sunday show. You must be wise and I promise you'll have a good time.
Yes the waitress didn't bother us about getting drinks. I personally like that. Drink before or after the show.
