One of the best places to see a show in Las Vegas.Especially Myrons cabaret.At about 240seats. Even if you are in the last row. You will still have a great spot.The talent that plays here are incredible.And the drink prices are pretty fair.My white russians run $11-$13 depending on whos playing.They are made well as well

This is an exquisitely beautiful venue. Each time I visit, I am in awe of the elegance and splendor of the surroundings. From the marble floors, to the beautiful sculptures and chandeliers, the Smith Center is itself a work of art. The performance we saw was equally beautiful and inspiring, the Nutcracker by the Nevada Ballet Theater. I highly recommend this special Christmas performance.

Another fabulous night! The Philharmonic and Chorus did a wonderful job bringing Christmas into our hearts. Perfect music selection accompanied by two perfect vocalists. The early arrival allowed us to see the Christmas troupe and Santa and his sleigh. Nicely done! Beautifully decorated. Thank you!

I just saw Travis Tritt there and he was amazing. The venue was great. Almost every seat felt like it was a personal performance. Very well maintained and security is top notch and polite. Vendors were friendly and prices not quite as bad as expected. Very clean and just a great experience overall.

The Smith Center is such a beautiful place to get out & have a fun date night! Hubby & I love to come see different productions or shows through the year. The staff is always sweet, friendly, & so helpful! If you have never been able to attend make an effort to see a show or production. You won’t regret it.

Nice venue, top notch performers. Its great that they provide headsets free of charge so you dont miss any of the dialogue and it also helps that the headsets cancel out background audience noise. Theater is clean, restrooms are clean, plentiful and stocked. Staff are friendly and considerate. Ample parking at reasonable rates.

Beautiful venue for concerts and ballets! Just saw the Nevada Ballet Theater perform there. Have also gone to Myrons Cabaret Jazz. Easy parking, $5. Good bar and food on the mezzanine during performances. Cafe Sambalatta for coffee and light snacks. Wonderful cultural venue. Highly recommended!

I love the Smith Center. I lived in Las Vegas for almost two decades before it appeared. Now I cant live without the productions I see there.Did you know the Smith Center is a Tony award winner. The Smith Center had produce Hadestown, which won a Tony in 2019. So the producers got a statue too. Congrats!I came from Dallas and loved the Morton Meyerson Symphony Center. I never thought another concert hall-expect maybe Sydney-- could top it. But this is Las Vegas and the founders did!I am a Broadway Las Vegas ticket holder and love Reynolds Hall. There is not a bad seat in the place even though the top balcony should have FAA clearance.The acoustics are near perfect.I used to go to New York City once a year to see shows. No need now. Tony winners like The Bands Visit and Hadestown arrive the next season! And our venue is so much nicer than the 100-year-old Broadway houses.I love the Art Deco decor, which is supposed to reflect the architecture at Hoover Dam. The elevators, the light fixtures--everything is gloriously understated Art Deco.There are bars everywhere so you can buy coffee and drinks before the show and during intermission.My favorite haunt is Myrons Cabaret Jazz. Its an intimate venue with seating at tables--theres a limited menu and full bar service. I sit upstairs because you are almost right over the stage and get the best views.Some of my favorite Broadway performers like Aaron Tveit and Sutton Foster had their own shows there. Amazing!The city built some new parking lots so now its $5 to park for a show. You can buy your ticket online so it couldnt be easier.I wish I owned a Tesla. Because if I did, I could charge it during the show since every parking lot has electric charging stations.The coffee shop, Sambalatte, has an outdoor courtyard that is secluded. Its beautifully landscaped. What a great place to enjoy a coffee after the show!

Theres not a bad seat in the theater. One is clearly able to see the stage and the players from the balcony. Seating aisles are spacious thankfully and the ambiance of the Smith Center makes one feel as if one isnt in Las Vegas anymore, but a metropolis known for a successful performing arts community.

Great place for locals to enjoy quality entertainment and fine arts. A beautiful building located in the heart of the city not far from Downtown. Just big enough to give the feel of a great Broadway theater but small enough to experience an intimate setting. A must experience if you are a Vegas Local!

Locals are so grateful for The Smith Center. As much as we love Cirque shows, it is nice to finally feel like Vegas has the theater culture that matches other big cities. The theater is elegant and designed so that every seat in the house is a good view.Keep the good shows coming!

Review №22

A special venue here in Vegas. Acoustics are terrific, and having now sat in the cheap seats as well as 4th row Orchestra center, there really is no bad seat in the house. The quality of productions is top notch and the programming of seasons diverse and extremely well thought out. As Vegas keeps growing from just a gambling town in the middle of the desert now to a bustling metropolis with everybody getting the heck out of states like California and moving here, the Smith Center is an important hub of culture and shines bright in being the best example of what the new Las Vegas is all about. Such a classy venue yet so accessible and comfortable. Love this place.

Beautiful venue. Wonderful accoustics. Not a bad seat in the house. Special event parking was only $5. Best deal in Vegas! Only drawback was the overly strict usher who wouldnt let me explore other parts of the theatre, even though I had already paid for a pretty premium seat.

Friends and saw Sisters Christmas Catechism - the Magi and it was hilarious. This is the third or fourth time Ive seen it but with different subjects. Smith Center is very accessible but if you are handicapped as we are, there is a bit of a walk from valet to showroom. Leaving was so much more convenient as valet was in front of the showroom doors. Perfect.

We are so fortunate to have this venue in Las Vegas; It is simply beautiful and classy. And the people who work there are very polite and helpful too. Its a very welcome and high-class addition to the wide variety of entertainment that Vegas already offers. I highly recommend checking out any performance here.

Amazing theater in downtown Las Vegas. Old world deco style. Similar to Hoover dam. Great acoustic and theater set up. Post modern. Great sound and concessions.

Review №38

Nice theater. Weve been here several times and very much enjoyed it. I will say the fact that they closed the refrshments/bar 45 minutes into an hour and a half musical because it doesnt have an intermission bothered me this time. I had a very dry throat and couldnt even buy a water so I could stop coughing. If you bring your own water, you should have no problem. Nice venue

What a disappointment. Several tries and I give up. They hire community theater level actors. Actually, Ive seen much better at Community theaters in S. Cal. Unless youre going to see a specific act, please save your money. Las Vegas is magicians and strippers. No theater here.Edited to add: Closed for great reason:Your shows are unprofessional and lousy.REALLY LOUSY!

I went to see the Phantom of the Opera here and it was my first time visiting the Smith Center. The place overall was absolutely stunning. Any staff we encountered was nice and professional. They even offered us a golf cart shuttle to/from the parking lot. The website seem to try its best to depict the seating of the theater. At this time, Ill only comment on where my seats were for this specific show. We purchased 2 seats in the front center of the balcony area. I tried to read reviews before purchasing. One said it was high up, but since they were the only 2 seats next to each other remaining and the closest, we took a chance. The balcony level is on the 5th floor. The safety bar in front of us was a little distracting since we are kind of looking down to watch the show. However, it seemed, every other row had the bar up there. The show also starts fairly promptly and it gets pitch black and difficult to try to walk to your seat, especially dead center. The show itself was spectacular! I didnt see much obstruction that was listed for some of the other seats. Next time Ill choose any other location but the balcony.

Best thing to happen culturally for our city in a very long time. Truly the “Heart of the Arts!” Stunning architecture, no opportunity missed to establish a sense of good design and gravitas.The reviews dissing no nearby restaurants are clearly written by people with no imagination nor a sense of adventure. Downtown Las Vegas is right there, a four minute ride-share or taxi away!

Review №55

Awesome venue. We sat way up top and it was still a decent view for the money. Bring your glasses tho! Drink prices are good, $6 a beer, $7 for wine. If you are getting drinks come more than 15 mins prior so you arent stressed like I was before the show started. Good time all around, were coming back for sure

This is a beautiful art deco designed building away from the hustle and bustle of the strip. Weve been to a number of Broadway shows and concerts in the Reynolds hall and totally enjoyed every one. There is not a bad seat in the house and plenty of ADA seating and parking. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Definitely a class act!

What is there to say? You can start with the building outside and inside. A modernized Art Deco tasteful design. A friendly staff that cheerfully assists you to ensure your enjoyment. Then nothing is left for you but to enjoy the craft of live theater. Nothing to remind you, but an absolute welcome escape from Las Vegas! Very well done, bravo!

Saw Michael Grimm for my friends bday. We had great seats in front. This guy can sing. I loved all the songs. Drink service had issues.

The Smith Center is a delight. From the discount layout to the multiple rooms and service windows, they allow a large number of people to flow through without getting crowded.In every area I encountered staff, they were fun, helpful and demonstrated a genuine concern for each guest they assisted.I was lucky enough to obtain box seats to the performance, which adds its open additional benefits and an extra room.Even pre and post show transportation was well managed. Full marks all round! Other venues could learn from this one.

This place is awesome if you want to go watch a musical show or a concert. The grounds itself have different entertainment places like the children’s museum and restaurants. But it’s mainly occupied for people who are having conventions or concerts to go to or even art exhibits. Where are unique place in Vegas. But it’s not very very large as far as the grounds itself and the things to do like most people would think of when they think of Vegas.

Review №66

The Smith Center is the best place to see a show in Vegas. Period. We got box seats (Box B I believe) to see Wicked and it was lovely. However, the back row (theres only 2 rows) of the box seats are not as nice as the front row, so buyer beware. The front row has cup holders, the back does not. The back row seats are bar stool height to see over the first row, which was not the most comfortable for a long show but worth it to see over the people in front of you. The box seats closest to the stage also have an obscured view of the back of the stage, which is why it gets 4 stars. If you pay extra money for box seats, the view should not be obscured.

Loved my first visit to the Smith Center. I saw the 1st of 4 performances of #Viral. The acoustics were good and the performance was high energy and fun. I took my favorite 3 high school students and they were inspired by the entire experience. Unable to get anything during the intermission because the single setup was inadequate for the crowd size. The staff is friendly but some couldve been better informed about seating for the show. Overall a worthwhile Saturday evening outing.

Wife dragged me to see the Nutcracker. We sat up in the rafters. A lot of people trying to front like this was Broadway or something. We live in Vegas people.....relax. As for the performance, the 1st part was a snooze fest. I couldnt wait for it to be over. Almost left, but didnt want to face my wifes wrath. After the intermission, it got so much better. The performers were great. The ballet was better than I expected. I am no expert but I really enjoyed the 2nd half. If you do go and see it, either come late or stick it out for the 2nd half. You wont be disappointed.

Great place to see a theater production. We saw a musical and the sound was amazing. I would also say that there doesnt seem to be a bad seat in the house. If you dont want to spring for orchestra level seats, the cheap seats would be acceptable as well. Its a short walk from Fremont Street (weather permitting... its a pretty stifling walk in the heat!). Nice alternative to the casino venues of this sort.

The Smith Center is lovely in many ways. A complimentary good car took us to the front door. Will Call was staffed and retrieved tickets quickly. Metal detectors seem unnecessary to me but the security measures are reasonable. The art in the stairwells is fun to look at. I dont know how to describe architecture but the design is visually appealing. The theatre itself is comfortable and well designed.

All employees and security personnel were very helpful and friendly. Our first time at Smiths Center. First time we saw Shen Yu show. It was on the strip. Could of saw it then. But resort fees are high as hell. And traffic is even worse. We like the 15 mins intermission. The show was unbelievable, powerful, exciting and the best performance we ever saw. WOW! They all should be in the Olympics and will win GOLD MEDALS. We recommend anyone who wants to see an outstanding show. We will be back again if they are at the Smiths Center. Our parking fee was free because we are disabled veterans. The inside and restrooms are extremely clean. We could of actually eaten off the floors. Kudos to all . May God bless everyone there. Thank you!!!!

The Smith Center is beautiful, and is everything a theater should be. If there was one thing Id recommend, its to wear comfy shoes while hiking to the top of the balcony. The stairs are steep and each one is (I think) taller than standard. Not a problem, unless youre recovering from foot surgery.
