Watch Out! I believe this is the worst Vegas show since I took my nephews to "Melinda, The First Lady of Magic" back in or around the year 2000. My nephews are grown men now but they still remember going to a phenomenally lame Vegas magic show that abruptly ended half-way through. The purported explanation was that the elevator was broken and the "magic equipment" was locked in the basement. The worst part was that Magic Melinda (eye roll) refused to give any refunds.
This show had the same sketchy feel from the get-go but I didn't realize the Melinda connection until we went into the "Saxe Lounge." Then I remembered that Melinda was Magic Melinda Saxe. The watered-down drinks were purportedly "doubles" but tasted like Kool Aid. And they cost $16 each with a ridiculous "souvenir" plastic cup that will be sitting in a landfill 1000 years from now. Complete ripoff. The bar counter was sticky and infectious.
The layout of the theater is bizarre and the authoritarian staff insist you wait in their overpriced bar until ten minutes before the show starts. Then you walk up SIX flights of stairs to get to the small cramped theater. The whole place has a burned-alive firetrap feel.
The show is supposed to be a history of Vegas but it's done from a warped perspective. It manages to be both obnoxiously politically correct and quaintly bigoted at the same time. The biggest star in the history of Vegas, Liberace, is barely mentioned at all. The live orchestra is good and the voices are excellent. The half-hearted impersonations are weak. Elvis is particularly bad and his leather outfit looks like he moonlights at the gay S&M bar down the street.
The show is worthwhile if you can get free or half-price tickets but otherwise don't waste your time/ money!
