| - Maybe I am being too hard on this "show." I will say that it's probably a 3.5 star review...
1st of all, we were coming in with a large group. I contacted the South Point to inquire about booking group tickets and was advised that they are unavailable, but the person I was speaking to mentioned to have everyone book VIP tickets ($10) and then e-mail her with our confirmations and she could assist in ensuring we were all seated together.
She also mentioned to get there early because they like to have everyone seated by 10:15pm (the show starts at 10:30pm). We played bingo and headed right down after the session ended. I would say we were in line around 10:15, but the line just didn't move. In fact, all of the general admission people were in before us. That is pretty frustrating!
We probably didn't get in until around 11:00pm. What is the point of paying extra to reserve a seat when you spend so much time in line? They need a better system. The nice thing was that the person who originally assisted me greeted me in line and gave us extra drink tickets for the wait and for bringing in such a large group.
It turns out that they were celebrating their 6th anniversary at South Point. I was surprised at how crowded it was! I guess they have quite a following. I was a bit disappointed with our tables - they were on the side of the stage and right next to each other, but this left us quite separated for each other. Would've been better to have tables by the dance floor so we were directly next to each other. Oh well.
Now for the drinks....the prices are VERY reasonable. They have specialty drinks for around $4, decent prices on shots, etc. However, they won't allow you to use your drink tickets for ANY of these. After trying to order many things and having the waitress tell me no, I finally just got vodka cranberry out of frustration. This is not something I EVER drink - and I would dare anyone to convince me that there was actually any vodka in it. I swear it was 100% cranberry juice, which seems like it would be more expensive than the cheap vodka they are supposed to use. I ended coming out of there with a ton of extra drink tickets because nobody wanted to drink what they were offering......
Overall, the show is fun and entertaining. The guys are funny, but very cheesy. They are great musicians and I am not sure I understand the "schtick." They are dressed more nerdy than 80s....Anyhow, they put on a decent show. It was fun to dance and watch everyone else.
They also have 2 go-go dancers. One of them is really good and "in to" it. The other was either drunk or really doesn't care. She attempted to sing along to songs and look enthusiastic, but looked more lost. It was kind of sad.
Anyhow, they gave away prizes throughout the night - free booze (useless drink tickets), dinner for 2 at Don Vitos, etc. Then at the end of the night, they crowned the Prom King and Queen. They picked people out of the crowd and had a dance off on stage. Our very own Ty W. and Lore D. were chosen and rocked it! They finished 2nd and won dinner for 2 at Silverado Steakhouse. They totally should have won!
I am not sure if it was their typical show or they played longer because of the anniversary, but they played until about 12:30 and then took a small break. They came out for a 2nd set and played until almost 2am! I was suprised.
Not sure if I'll be back, but it was a fun night!
