“My experience was exceptional! From the time I answered, I love that there was an escort to guide you along the red carpeted event. The check in process was efficient & flawless. The dinner was cooked to perfection, seasoned and sized very appropriately. I arrived late and I loved that they packaged it well & it was labeled with my name. The cocktails were on point! Not one drink I ordered was too iced or water down. The servers were well staffed and came back with those items quick so you could actually enjoy them doing the show. Omg! The show. From the flawless sculptured bodies. Unmatched femininity and finishes.…”

Venue- Clean, nicely decorated Show- Lots of dancing and lip singing - but quality was poor. The sound system and song selection needs to be improved in a major way. I would not recommend. Seats- we were surprised that our seats had no table at all. I didn't see on viator's website any option (to book the seats with a table). Luckily we were allowed by the venue staff to transfer (since there were a lot of vacant tables). After show- Performers…”
