| - Let me preface this by stating that I hate TV. I'd rather waste my time on the internet (writing reviews on Yelp? :p) than watch most of the junk on TV. That being said, I was the one who suggested coming here to my boyfriend who gave me that "I can't tell if you're serious or not" look that I am oh so familiar with. And with that look on his face, I dragged him to the lady giving out the tickets for CBS Television City. I think I was the first person that day who asked for a ticket without her offering. She looked that surprised.
Were I to base this review purely on the show we watched, this place would get 1 star. I did not like it at all. However, this review is on the over all experience, not the show, therefore it gets 5 stars.
The people running the survey were Very nice & helpful. They guide you into a room and explain how you're supposed to take the survey & how you rate the show. You first start off by answering some demographics questions. You are then instructed on how to use the Neilsen Knob Box (my phrase, not theirs - though they are more than welcome to use it :D) in order to rate the show moment by moment. There's a scale from 0 to 100 where 0 means you hate it and 100 means television-induced orgasm. Yes, my meter reached 0 & sometimes even hit 100 (c'mon... it was Lilith from Cheers! Who doesn't love Lilith???). It was interesting knowing you were part of the television research process.
Afterwards my boyfriend & I were approached to be a part of a focus group taking place the next day & offered $50 for our time. We agreed, but later they only picked my boyfriend because his opinion of the show was more in line with the general consensus - mine was... not.
The next day I accompanied him to his focus group fully expecting to waste an hour in the casino losing money, but nope! They had a different research activity that offered $20. Neat. I passed the screening & got paid $20 to answer questions after listening to music while playing w/an iPad.
In the end, I was surprised that my boyfriend & I enjoyed CBS Television City as much as we did. The $70 we got sure didn't hurt! I figured it would be one of those "one visit is enough" kind of places, but we agreed that when we go back to Vegas, we'll make an effort to go back. If you've got some time to kill while on vacation in Vegas, this place is worth checking out.
