We were looking for a show to fill one of our evenings in Vegas, trying not to spend an arm and a leg, and staying family-friendly. I did my research through a lot of online reviews and was honestly mildly wary. I thought we'd enjoy the show, but worried it might not be quite worth what we paid for it.
It. Was. FANTASTIC.
There were certainly moments that I felt were not as funny or amazing as others, but that's the idea, isn't it? With a variety show, there's something for everyone. I thoroughly enjoyed every single act, and a few of them astounded me entirely.
Wally is a great host. Really, I've never seen a better emcee.
I've seen some reviews on here with frustrations about the staff. I think they did great. They herded 400 people into their seats in about 20 minutes. While they're doing this, they're keeping people from going the wrong way in the theater (not just to their seats - people go all over the place), they're cognizant of families with strollers, elderly who need assistance, etc. Our seats were right by the entrance door, and we could have had a very interrupted experience as late-comers or others walk in or out. The staff helped manage that to maintain the quality of our experience, which I greatly appreciated. They have a tough job, and they do it very well.
Families, I have two things to tell you:
If you have little ones, the closer you sit to the stage, the less they may see of the bottom part of the stage. With one act we saw, that was important. It's theater seating to a point. Once you get level with the stage, your little ones may be struggling to look over the heads of anybody in front of them. Yes, this is a show where there are occasionally people picked from the audience to participate. I got the impression that it's usually adults. If you want your kid to have a chance to get picked to go on stage, go see Nathan Burton's Comedy Magic. I'm sure there are others, I just know he involves several kids each show.
While the show itself is family-friendly, the advertising around the theater isn't as much. You're in Vegas, what did you expect? The same theater promoted a Zombie Burlesque show with a video montage that looped (with montages from other shows) as we waited in line to get into the venue and once we were in our seats. I would have been uncomfortable if my kids had seen it. You will see far worse walking the strip, but if you're expecting a family-friendly surrounding and bombarded with something else, that's a little disappointing. I don't fault the variety show for this at all - it's the theater upselling their other shows. I get it. Just something to be aware of.
Please don't let these two caveats at the end dissuade you from attending. If you're aware, you can plan accordingly, that's all. The show is most definitely worth...
Read moreOur 6 year old first visit to Las vegas and he wants watch a show. When we asked what he wants to watch, he wanted, Circus, Acrobats, Magic, Funny, Juggling and fight. He got it all at V - The Ultimate Variety Show, this is not the best show in Vegas, but this is great start and has all and you wont be disappointed, especially for the price you pay. It is really a variety show as the name implies, there is something for everyone for every age. Based on my experience, this is one of the show use decent language and not much sexual content, which says, this show is Kid friendly. What it has? The Crazy Gauchos: Two Gauchos Stand-up comedians at the same time, they would compete against each other in a routine involving a drum and a “boleadoras,
The Skating Aratas: Victor and Jenny Arata, wow what a pair to do dance while skating, high risk. Jenny was so gorgeous. Louri and Gabor: These two guys can do balancing can no other, best Hand Balancing I have seen in person.
Russ Merlin – This is one of a kind performance, never seen one like this before, the best favorite of mine. Prop Comedian, is something new in the business. silly props with unique ideas make this hilarious. Watch it and enjoy.
Tamara Yerofeyeva: Great gymnast, great acrobats skills with hoola hoops.
The Quiddlers - Three amzing talents, making this show to have a perfect twist with lot of physical comedy. Thet are truly Ambassadors of Physical Comedy.
Now, I have to talk about the star of the show Wally Eastwood: Wally, Wally Wally…….And Finally, the star of the show, Wally Eastwood. I keep smiling while I type his name, he is hilarious. He is te anchor of the show, he run tis show, he controls this show. His one liners and face expression is amazing. Self-humiliation comedy is not easy, he is doing it so naturally. He is not only funny, he is one of the best juggler I have seen. Because of his sense of comedy, his juggling skills gets over shadowed. Box Office Timing: The box office is open daily from 10:00am to around 10:30pm, depending on the last show of the night. Also, keep checking Groupon, you get great deals for this show.
Overall, you will no be disappointed, go for it. Take...
Read moreOn March 31, 2021 I purchased 4 tickets online(wheelchair accessible) using Vegas.com. The show night was scheduled for April 24, 2021 at 8:30pm to celebrate my daughter's 21st Birthday. We arrived on that day at approximately 7:45pm and were told, there was no accessible seating to accommodate my group, and my family was asked to move over to the side. While we waited (over 30 mins)we heard the staff asking folks in line if they would consider switching seats to accommodate someone in a wheelchair, this was embarrassing to us as it was obvious the request was for our family. I think the manager Michelle should have gone to the showroom herself and looked for a space to accommodate my family, rather than asking people and humiliating us. Sadly, after waiting until 8:28pm, not one staff member followed-up with us or communicated with us, by this time the show started and there was still no seating that would accommodate my daughter's wheelchair. We were handed 3 drink vouchers (disregarding one of my family members because we were a group of 4) and told wait 3-10 days for refund. I was devastated our whole day revolved around this show and reservation as it was a surprise and the highlight of my daughter's 21st celebration in Vegas. She won’t be 21 again! Up until this day, I have not heard back from the owner David Saxe( I emailed him and asked him to reach out to me) to at least apologize on behalf of his team for not making it possible to accommodate my daughter's wheelchair that night. Everyone should have access to the show, especially if they paid 3 weeks in advance and requested accessible seating in advance. I’m still wondering what made my group different from other groups of 4? It boils down to no seating that would accommodate the wheelchair in our group and...
