Criss Angel MINDFREAK at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino

We absolutely loved Criss Angel's show in Las Vegas! From start to finish, it was engaging, mind-blowing, and incredibly entertaining. The performance moves at such a great pace that the time flew by—we couldn't believe it was over so quickly. Criss Angel's talent, creativity, and ability to keep the audience captivated are truly impressive. We had an amazing time and are already talking about coming back to see it all over again. If you're looking for a Vegas show that will leave you amazed and wondering, "How did he do that?", this is definitely one you don't want to miss! Highly recommend

Lots of Energy & Music - Expect to get out of your seat to cheer for Criss! Lots of reflection on the life of Criss Angel, video of past feats and lots of great illusions and magic! I truly enjoyed the show and the energy. There is a segment honoring children who have passed away from childhood cancer, including his own son. It is a deeply moving tribute that may be emotional for some audience members. Through this portion of the show, he also raises awareness and support for childhood cancer research and related charitable efforts.

I received my tickets for free, but it’s a show I’d be willing to pay like $75 for a ticket to. It’s entertaining and in a really cool theater. If you were a Mindfreak fan you’ll like this show. If you’re a hater of Mindfreak you’ll have nothing good to say. If you don’t like magic because it’s fake then it’s not the show for you…..DUH. Sooo we took our 5 year ALMOST 6 year old to the show… she’s a mature 5. I will say most reviews advised against this, the tickets said 10 and up. And in line it recommends 12 and up. And depending on your kids maturity level this show might be too much for them. You’re the parent so you decide. Yes the show starts as a lot of dark scariness. The hallways to get to the show was the scariest part for my daughter. It has scary clown statues and possessed girl/dolls. The show opens with a pretend kidnapping a like haunted house skit with possessed things coming out from under a bed and it goes on to show a video with what looks like someone being cut into, he does some swallowing of sharp things and does show blood. At this point I did question if I made a bad choice. But my daughter reassured me she was okay to stay and I gave the option to leave if at any point it was to much(our daughter does not watch scary movies and is easy to end up having nightmares). We held her hand reassured her it’s all fake and reminded her she had the choice to leave. And I’m so glad we did stay. There’s a really cool fight scene. The second half of the show was family friendly and very fun. He does story telling, but again if you’re a Criss Angel fan you can appreciate this as it pays tribute to his life and thanks to his fans. Yep he discusses childhood cancer and does promote his foundation to help raise funds. I’m sorry if cancer is sad or triggering but as someone with close friends whose kids went through this it was such an awesome way for him to use his platform and spread awareness. He does some levitating, coin tricks, disappearing and the cool tricks you hope to see. Honestly it was a good show if you can score the tickets for under $100. Depending on your kids maturity level and what they can handle will depend if they can handle this show. I will say it feels like two different shows put together. The beginning is dark and creepy and the second half is more light and just focused on magic. But that worked out for my family since I brought my young kid. We haven’t stopped talking about the show and I think it was pretty cool for my kid!

Not worth the money. He doesn’t do enough tricks/ illusions. Crazy loud and extremely cold. He insists after every little thing everyone has to stand and scream. A great performer shouldn’t have to tell his audience to stand and scream for him. Way too many segments where he just talked and showed videos of how wonderful he is. Also the theater staff is not very friendly.

Honestly where do I begin, worst show I’ve ever seen! Boring and predictable. Nothing stood out for me and it was amateur at best. I was expecting so much more. I came on holiday to have fun, I left the show in floods of tears as spent 20 mins watching a segment on kids that had cancer and died with all the photos and really sad music. Honestly who thought that was a good idea is beyond me, as a mother myself with a young child I can honestly say this ruined my whole evening and I couldn’t stop crying, whilst I appreciate it’s part of life,I do not want to be exposed to it whilst on holiday or watching a show etc, at no point is there any warning of upsetting themes etc. The crowd are shown loads of clips on all the magical stuff he has performed in the past, yet he does none of it!! Waste of money, I would rather of put it in a slot machine!!!

Criss Angel was amazing. If you haven't seen him you got to do it and you won't have no regrets. My husband and I loved every minute of the show.

Criss Angel’s show was a bit of a letdown for me. I went in expecting the Mindfreak style from his 2005–2010 TV days—fast, shocking, and packed with nonstop magic. This felt very different, and honestly much slower and less engaging by comparison. There were some solid moments, but the show leans heavily into long stretches of talking and storytelling, which really slowed the pace. A lot of it felt random—more like disconnected stories about his life rather than something that actually tied into the magic or moved the show forward. It also didn’t feel like a cohesive show overall. It came across as a series of separate segments that didn’t really connect, and some parts—like a sword fighting sequence with no magic—felt completely out of place and honestly like a waste of time. The production is big—lots of lights, music, and effects—but it plays more like a theatrical performance with a heavy metal / Halloween horror vibe than a focused magic show. If that style is your thing, you might enjoy it. For me, it felt like the spectacle was doing more of the work than the magic itself. The levitation at the end is a good example. It could have been a really cool moment if it had been built into a bigger illusion or story, but watching it go on for several minutes on its own made it start to feel more like a gimmick than something impressive. Without context or buildup, it actually made the effect feel less believable rather than more. Overall, I was hoping for more “wow” moments and less filler. Compared to other magic shows in Vegas, this one just didn’t deliver the level of excitement I was expecting.

Totally worth your money! What a better way to escape reality! Definitely recommended! 5 Stars!

It was my first time ever attending a magic show, and I’m so happy it was with one of the legends. The performance was stunning, interactive, and had a personal, human touch from his own life that I honestly loved.

If I could make it - negative stars I would. This was an idiotic loud incoherent mess of self promotion and very little magic. What an awful waste of money and time.
