- Stan MBethel Park, Pennsylvania19 contributionsExcellent showVery small theater but perfect for this show. Great use of comedy and audience members through entire show. Gerry’s mental feats were amazing and left us scratching our heads. Definitely recommend.Visited November 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 29 November 2023
- Shane TAlvin, Texas2 contributionsHow in the hell?Mind blown. This guy is so freaking awesome. Definitely gonna see Gerry again some day. I wish I could explain hoe awesome the show is, but I just left the theater and I can't think straight. I have no words. Well, just the words I just wrote.Visited January 2024Travelled with familyWritten 6 January 2024
- faceitannPeoria, Arizona63 contributionsGreat show!!This was a great show in a very intimate setting. Audience participation but not in an embarrassing way at all!! He has this amazing ability to get into people’s mind and figure out names, situations and odds and statistics. Mind blown for sure!Visited January 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 29 January 2024
- john j1 contributionMust See Mentalist just off the strip.Jerry is a very entertaining mentalist. Our group unanimously voted this the best show value in Vegas. The theatre is tucked in a corner of a mall connected to Planet Hollywood. Once inside, it feels like you leaving early is likely. Once Jerry gets started, though, you get the sense he has been honing his craft for many years. If you like magic and/or mentalists, this show is easily worth the ticket price.Visited July 2024Travelled with familyWritten 9 July 2024
- richardhorn74Huddersfield, United Kingdom5 contributionsBrilliant show!Fantastic show!! If you visit Vegas, make sure you add this show to your "to do" list. Gerry is simply amazing (and a very funny guy 😂). Absolutely have no idea how he does what he does - he will leave you baffled, bemused, and in stitches 🤣Visited August 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 11 September 2024

This show was not great. Save your $25 and go see Nathan Burton instead. That show is phenomenal. We’ve been to lots of shows like this in Vegas and it was the worst one. He did the same “mind reading” index card bit like 5 times, and the same “pick a word on a page in a book” that all of the other mentalists do. The audience was forced to clap because we weren’t impressed with what we were seeing and he called the audience “skeptical” when really we were just bored. He used nail guns that clearly had a switch on them, and used “duct tape” on his face which would have actually ripped his skin off it it was real duct tape. Overall I was bored and unimpressed but for $25 I can’t be too mad, it kept me out of the casino for 1.5 hours.

He is the person that the tv show was based on. Show had some humor and “how did he do that “ moments but it turned us off that he had swear words in almost every sentence. I have seen plenty of shows where the entertainer had sufficient vocabulary he didn’t need to do that but still had lots of fun.

Overall, I had an awful experience. Not only was this show obv staged, but halfway through the fire alarms went off and instead of stopping the show ‘The Mentalist’(or so he was called) asked “the audience” if he should just continue. After hearing one responding ‘yes’ he continued his act but anyone who sat past the 3rd row couldn’t hear a thing and only got a loud blaring noise instead. I got up to ask for my money back with my 2 friends but there wasn’t anyone there; absolutely no one to talk to or complain to. This was quite possibly the worst showing of my life.

We attended one of Gerry's first shows after live performances resumed after the months-long COVID interruption. We enjoyed his engaging illusions and mentalist tricks. Highly recommend seeing this show for an hour of solid entertainment.

A fabulous mix of art and science that is truly magical. I was uncomfortable that unmasked people were allowed in and even allowed to participate onstage, but Gerry himself is truly amazing. I would highly recommend this show at least in safer times

Very good show! Gerry McCambridge is amazing! He has great showmanship and the "tricks" (I know this is not the correct word) are unbelievable. We were amazed and in awe of every part of the show. You can go back time and again and still be amazed.
I gave it a 4, only due to the venue. The venue was cramped and some seats barely had view of the stage. But the biggest drawback was that they only allowed beverages purchased from the Stripper Bar. It was 109 degrees and they wouldn't let us bring in water or drinks from anywhere else. We went to the bar to get water and they only accepted cash (no ATM nearby)! I never carry cash and though the pandemic is almost over, why would they want to exchange cash with people.

The Mentalist did a wonderful job of entertaining! It was a very family friendly show and his presentation was amazing. The things he does are mind blowing, it makes you say to yourself- how could he know this information??? We thoroughly enjoyed this show- it’s a great value! We’ve been to several pricey shows and didn’t enjoy the show as much as this one.

I took my daughter to Vegas to celebrate her 21st birthday and we wanted to take in some classic entertainment. This show was really fun and we were amazed at many of the things he did. You're left sitting there with your mouth hanging open and wondering how the heck he did that. The physical theater itself was a little scrappy and that's the only reason I knocked the rating down a little bit.

This show is one of the most baffling, fun & entertaining shows I've ever seen in Las Vegas. This man is amazing. I live in this city & have seen many, many shows. Please take advantage of one of the most unique shows in this city of copycats. Gerry is the BEST at what he does. You will not forget his show!

We purchased tickets for mid May, VIP cente seating. Im a bit confused as it doesn’t indicate what seats we actually get. Is it first come first serve based on the generally area purchased or will the actual seats be assigned when we pick up our tickets from V theater?

With the Smart Destination card - Mentalist, V and Vegas show are inlcuded. What seats are allocated if you go on your card and can you book a particular time and date?
Written 3 April 2018
The seating is first come first serve , there are no seats allocated that I know! the mentalist has a very small theater , but they don’t let you in they wait till right before to get in , I heard the V show was good but I have never seen it . I heard the Las Vegas show was the best one to see and the most popular so get in line really early .and for all your shows you can set a time and date but I would as soon as you get to Vegas do that because they fill up quick!
