“Absolutely wonderful experience at this theater seeing the This Is Important Live Show. Because of F1 we had to walk over to the Cosmopolitan from Planet Hollywood via the sky bridge, no big deal, easy walk. The theater is on the 3rd floor, took the escalator. Then it is a little bit of trek down a very long hallway past a bunch of conference rooms. We showed our tickets to the ushers, got taken to a separate line, asked for the last name for the tickets t…”

“Mother’s Day 10th 2026 listen up people please be aware that you do not want to book this theater for seats in section 5 on the floor. This section is so far removed from the stage that the seats are facing a wall, literally in order to see the stage and the performer. You literally have to crank your neck all the way to the left and sit that way for two hours. The Chelsea and the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas have completely misrepresented in their images thi…”

“Went to Chelsea Handler last night and saw Sheryl Crow here last year. There may be some poor seats on the wings, but anything at the back or the middle three sections will be great seats. Be sure to check Seat Geek for day of show deals. Expect Loooong waits for drinks, which is my one criticism.”
