| - I usually catch a Cirque show whenever I'm in Vegas but I wanted to do something different this time... plus, I didn't want to fork out $100+ per ticket this time around for a show. I'd rather put that money towards great meals, an awesome hotel and a killer spa day. Yes, men can enjoy spa days too!
While researching shows on YELP, I came across the stellar reviews for this show. I had been wanting to catch a magic show but again, Copperfield and many of the other acts would've been a bit too overpriced. After the awesome reviews, I decided to pull the trigger so first thing we (my fiancee and I) did when we got there was hit up Harrah's to get our tickets.
Previous reviewers said they had people outside handing 2-for-1 coupons. We found no such person so we went to the ticket desk. If I could rate the wait to get tickets, Harrah's would get a big fat ZERO. There were 2 people in front of me and I was in line for a good 15-20 minutes. Yes, I should learn a little more patience but even the poor little old lady in front of me was get furious from standing in one place the entire time. By the time we got up there, we asked for a coupon and he said no. We had to get in a different line, sign up for a Gold Rewards card and they would give me a coupon. Was I pissed? Sure. The prospect of waiting in that line again didn't sound appealing. We almost left but figured we're already here. Let's just do it... and I'm glad we did.
Tip #1 - Get a Gold Rewards card from Harrah's. It's free and you also get a coupon book with other deals in it, but more importantly, you'll get the 2-for-1 coupon Mac King's show.
The second tour of duty in the ticket line wasn't all that bad. In the end, it worked out to be $32 for the BOTH of us... and that included 1 drink for ticket. Not a bad deal for a Vegas show.
As for the show itself, it was fantastic. No, really... it was freaking FANTASTIC. Mac is hilarious, entertaining and highly engaging. A few of the magic acts were okay and some were pretty impressive, but believe me when I said it's not so much the magic as it is the comedy aspect that you'll love. I don't want to give away too much but I guarantee you'll have a blast. It's worth the $32 and hour plus out of your life.
