0 stars. Do NOT bring your bachelorette parties here, especially if your parties are diverse in race or in sexuality. The night started with us getting the most expensive tickets in the place, and ended with one of my friends being escorted out by security for a dress code that was 1) not at all listed on the website, ANYWHERE, before entering and 2) unfairly placed upon a member of our party (a man) but not other parties (women) in the establishment. Absolutely disgusting display of power by management. This is NOT a safe space.
Let me start by saying we were a party of 10 for a bachelorette party, in the P1 or "Best. Seats. Ever" section. If you look on Ticketmaster, this means about $140 dollars, per person, before drinks. Safe to say we were spending to have a good time and were excited to come to the establishment.
Our party arrived, and one of the members of our party is a gay black man. Before entering the establishment, the doorman told him to button up his shirt 2 buttons as it was unbuttoned. He complied, he buttoned his shirt 3 buttons (an extra mind you), and we proceeded to go in and sit down in our P1 seats. We ordered drinks and the show started.
This is when things started to get interesting. A member of the staff came up and told him to button up his shirt even more...at this point, we had already been seated for 20 minutes. Odd request, but especially odd when he had already complied at the door and had been let in. I would also like to mention, the women in our party while dressed to impress for Vegas, were wearing essentially bralettes and bustiers as shirts. The "girls" were out...and none of the women were told to cover up. We paid it no mind, and continued to sit in our expensive seats, and view the show. We merely sat and watched the show, cheering appropriately when indicated by the host and watching the dancers. Then, another staff member came to tell him to button up his shirt all the way, or he'd have to leave. At this point again, we didn't understand what the problem was, and continued to enjoy our evening. A third member of the staff came over. At this point, the staff members are causing a scene, and are disrupting the show that we paid a hefty amount for. A manager comes over, and this is when the bride and other members of our party have to get involved. This would be a good time for me to say that we have multiple lawyers in this bridal party, and all of the women except me are women of color. Members of our party were trying to discuss with management that the error would have been on the doorman for not disclosing a dress code if there was one before patrons entered the establishment, and not on the party patrons to be "fixed" after we were seated.
At this point, a circle of the staff are around us disrupting not only our experience but the experiences of those around us. It was at this point the manager threatened the member of our party leaving in handcuffs if he did not comply with buttoning 2 buttons. Let me repeat: HANDCUFFS for TWO BUTTONS. The threat that was thrown around to a party of primarily black women and a black man means something different completely. This is not about dress code anymore it is about power. Again, nobody in our party was doing anything out of turn - no one was too drunk, no one was throwing up or stumbling, we were all just minding our business watching the show. It was at this point that we decided with that threat of going to jail that we would all leave. We did not receive a refund and we also missed all but the first 10 minutes of the show. Six different security guards escorted a member of our party out - again for TWO BUTTONS. Why do we need 6 security guards? For 2 buttons? Completely disgusting. Never ever ever coming back here again.
Also, I'd like to add that the party in front of us on the couches in P1 Seating was a group of women in full costume, dressed as men from the Magic Mike movie. They were in jeans and tank tops with flannels and drawn on facial hair with markers. Their video actually went viral on tiktok of them being at the Magic Mike show the night we were there. Apparently, full on costumes and/or drag from (mostly white) women was acceptable, yet what was distracting enough for the management to make an ordeal and kick us out was 2 buttons not being buttoned on a black gay man. The hypocrisy is absolutely insane. The women in that group we actually spoke to and they were great, and they at one point tried to talk to management and ask what the problem was and interject before management yelled at them to sit back down.
Do not spend your money here, and we need a full refund for our entire party of 10. Absolutely disgusted and appalled.
