| - Just go. You will NOT regret it.
This has to be one of the most underrated shows on the strip! (I couldn't believe there were empty seats in the house when I went). I chalk it up to people simply not knowing who Jason Hanson is. First of all, he's not onstage first and an entertainer...he's a former CIA agent. So what you get first in this Vegas show, are reality based techniques that can save your life AND you get entertained in the process.
For the price, it is a killer deal. I see one reviewer complaining about pay $37...oh my gosh, most of the ticket prices for the other Vegas shows are triple or quadruple this price. I mean think about it. What is the average price of a show on the strip? (I'll tell you cause I checked them all to see which ones I was going to see). The CRAPPY seats are $90-$100, and the best seats approach $200 a piece. On top of that, unlike the Spy Escape and Evasion show, you can't take your kids too the highly publicized shows because of all the nudity. Most folks don't take their kids to Vegas, but still...a LOT of people do and even if you don't...maybe you'd just enjoy a show that was void of half-naked people that will show you stuff that can save your life.
As for the value. The girl sitting next to me went up as a volunteer to escape from being tied up. When she got back I leaned over and asked her "Hey, was that real up there?" and she told me "Absolutely!" She didn't think she was going to get out of being tied up like she was, but said she followed his simple instructions and escaped the ropes like she had been doing it her whole life. I thought that was pretty cool. Now, after being there and coming home, I can say from experience that the best thing about this event was they, Jason and one assistant, show you EVERYTHING. It's not like they show you tricks onstage and then you have to buy the secrets afterwards. What you see on stage is simple enough to remember and repeat on your own. I mean I came home and showed my friends, people from church, my kids friends, it's like we have our own little spy training sessions going on here.
In short, this is not one of the highly produced shows with magic and special effects, you won't to see compelling illusions and super sexy people doing things that make you want to slam shots and put the "do not disturb" sign on your door when you get back to your room...BUT...if you want to have your breath taken away, and meet a real former CIA officer, see some very cool techniques that can save your life if anyone ever captures you and means to hurt you, this show is a great choice. I love the fact that the ticket price was so low that I could afford to buy some of the high-tech self-defense stuff they had for sale in the lobby.
