| - We looked up free things to do in Vegas and this came up and boy, it was right up my ally. As soon as we found out about it, we knew we had to hunt this place down before we left. So glad we made the trek over! CBS Television City is located inside of the shops/mall area of MGM Grand. It's not really that hard to find, as we assumed that's where it was, but the hotels are so massive that it's easy to get lost.
The TV show we got to review was Episode 3 of The Carrie Diaries. For anyone that knows me, I have always been a huge Sex & the City fan and have been counting down the days until the premier of TCD. Once I saw Carrie's signature blonde hair, I knew what show we were watching and was extra excited -- my husband on the other hand, not as excited. While you watch, you're supposed to rate everything you see. For example, I really enjoyed the New York parts with Carrie's friend Larissa, so I would always move the dial up in the 70s-100s. There were some cheesy jokes, so I would scroll it back down to the 20s-30s. We noticed that the people in front of us didn't use their scrolly buttons AT ALL, so I'm not sure if their surveys were going to be thrown out or not, but that's the most important part! Make sure to do the scoring during the show and then you also have a survey after the show.
I felt I was pretty detailed in my follow-up survey of the show. I told them what they could have made better, what was really good and what was only okay. Since I was in the "target" demographic -- chicks 25-39 -- I got asked if I wanted to come back the following day to discuss the show and make $50. That made me so excited! I'm so used to just losing tons of $$$ in Vegas, so I had to jump at the opportunity to make some cash.
I went back the next day and did the Focus Group. The only thing that kinda sucked about it was it ended up taking about an hour and a half, even though they promised it would only be an hour. Since the men weren't allowed to participate, there were quite a few husbands and boyfriends that were told to come back in an hour standing there pacing and waiting. My husband was kinda miffed, but once I came out with a $50 bill, he shut up pretty quickly.
One more side note: don't necessarily go if you're hoping for some sort of awesome coupons. We went for the experience but were hoping for the $5 Starbucks coupon everyone was talking about. No such luck. The only coupon we got that we ended up using was a Buy One- Get One coupon for Nathans Hot Dogs. The other coupons were pretty useless to us.
