Cute little venue that reminds me of a small jazz club or a small comedy club. We came and watched Piff the Magic Dragon. We got the VIP tickets and the tickets said first come first serve seating and the VIP tickets get priority seating. However, a lady escorted us and seated us so we weren’t able to pick. This was kind of disappointing. The show itself was fantastic! I highly recommend the show!

This review is for the theatre only and not for the show I was here to see. Bugsy’s Cabaret in the Flamingo Hotel is near the front of the casino. It is a small, intimate theatre seating roughly 150 people in a semi-curcular seating arranegement. Bugsy’s Cabaret is hime to several shows including X Burlesque, Piff’s Piffmas Pifftacular, X Comedy, and Jeff Civillico. The lineup changes from time to time with X Burlesque being the show that is the main one in the theatre. I have seen a number of shows in the theatre and find it a pleasant showroom. There are two lines outside the theatre – one for VIP guests and one for regularly ticketed people. I came here to see X Comedy that was to begin at 8. Rather than standing in line, I waited in the casino watching tourists and went to the line when it was shorter at about 7:45. Since it is such a small theatre, there is no need to be the first there. The rear row of seats is reserved as are some of the two seat cocktail tables in the center of the stage area. They are generally had by giving the maître d’ a tip which isn’t really necessary unless you’re trying to impress a date with your Las Vegas skills. The maître d’ told me to take the end chair seat near the center in a reserved section for VIP ticketed people even though I had a free ticket. If you’re at the comedy show and don’t want to be part of the show, these are not the best seats to take. X Burlesque is the time you want this seat. The sound system in the room is quite good, the stage is a fairly good size for the size venue, and it’s a good theatre with good sight lines in which to see a show.
