Tickets Prices

For the fully immersive experience you get, the ability to see illusions unlike anything else, and being an overall great show, the ticket prices for Criss Angel’s MindFreak are a decent value for the money when it comes to Las Vegas shows.

The ticket prices for Criss Angel’s Mindfreak show vary depending on the seat location and the date of the performance. The closer the seats are to the stage, the more expensive the tickets are, and as with most Sin City shows, ticket prices can be higher during peak times.

However, despite having a range in pricing, in general, ticket prices range from $98 to $168.

Who is Criss Angel?

First, in case you aren’t familiar, let’s go over a short introduction to who Criss Angel is. You have likely heard his name before because he has been all over TV for decades. 

His TV show which was also called MindFreak, kicked off Angel’s claim to fame. The show focused on illusions and magic performed on the street for passersby.

The stunts he was able to pull off and continues to pull off make it clear he’s truly a legendary superstar, magician, and illusionist. He has spent more than two decades perfecting his art and has inspired countless other magicians and illusionists along the way.

And he just keeps getting better! In 2019, Vanish Magazine awarded him the “Greatest Illusion of All Time” award, and we have to agree, we have never seen anything like the acts he comes up with! 

Alright, now that we’ve talked about the star of the show, let’s get down to business.

MindFreak at Planet Hollywood

Criss Angel’s Mindfreak is exactly what it sounds like– an amazing magic show featuring the renowned illusionist himself performing some of his most iconic illusions. It opened in 2018 and continues to be a hit with crowds today.

To make the live spectacular extra special, he has taken some of the illusions we used to watch him perform on TV and is now performing them right in front of your eyes. The show is not just a remake of his show either. Angel has developed new tricks and illusions specifically designed for the PH stage. Some of our favorite highlights of the Mindfreak show include levitation illusions, mind-reading tricks, and elaborate escape stunts.

The show is high energy with spectacular visuals and innovation and is arguably the most exciting magic event in Vegas.

Criss Angel Theater

The Criss Angel Theater at Planet Hollywood was constructed specifically for the show, which in our opinion, definitely leveled up the experience. The layout is designed to give every seat an incredible view, and the cutting-edge lighting and sound technologies bring every aspect of the performance together to create a truly immersive experience as an audience member.

You’ll also find a bar and a lounge area to enjoy a beverage or two, and you can pick up memories of the night for the whole family at the merchandise shop.

Seating

We briefly mentioned seating above, but here’s more about it so you know what you are getting into once you go to look for tickets. The theater has 1,500 seats arranged in a semicircle around the stage, which is how they ensure every seat has a clear view. They’re pretty comfy, too!

The seats are organized into three main sections – 100, 200, and 300 with each one having three subsections, i.e., 101, 102, 203, 201, etc. Accessible seating is available in all three sections. 

Policies

Like all theaters, there are some general policies you’ll need to follow at the Criss Angel Theater that are worth mentioning. 

For one, no outside food or beverages are allowed. Since they have a bar and lounge, you can get any drinks you want right there, and we highly recommend having dinner at one of the many delicious resort restaurants (our favorite is Koi for couples or Pin Up Pizza to feed the fam!). 

Secondly, there are no audio or video recording devices allowed, so your phone is fine, but any sort of professional cameras have to be left in the hotel room. Additionally, there is no dress code, but a shirt and shoes are required, and we recommend at least a resort casual look! Smoking or vaping is not allowed, as is the case with most theaters.

Are Children Allowed?

Criss Angel’s Mindfreak show is appropriate for the whole family. However, parents should keep in mind that the show is 90 minutes long with no intermission, so consider your child’s attention span and level of interest.

The entire performance revolves around surprises, illusions, loud sounds, and shocking visuals. This means that younger children who tend to be easily scared or anxious should avoid this show.

Reviews

Though we have always had a great experience every time we visited, the reviews are a bit mixed. When you look at a good amount of reviews, there seems to be one aspect that people either love or hate. 

Criss Angel’s MindFreak show is more than just magic, with a lot of theatrics, video overlays, dancing, and other small acts. Some people love this and recognize it as an incredible production, while others feel that it distracts from the illusions and magic. Essentially, reviews either rave about it as the best show they have ever seen, or they share they were left wanting more magic and illusions with fewer “extras.” 

The only way to truly know which side of the fence you fall on is to see it for yourself!

Location

The MindFreak show is located on the Strip at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino Las Vegas. The official address is 3667 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109. 

The Criss Angel Theater is located on the mezzanine level of the resort’s casino and can be easily found thanks to its awesome futuristic design and big sign. If you are staying at the resort or on the Strip, you can easily walk to the show, but for those who are driving, you can choose between valet or self-parking in the parking garage. The theater is just a short walk from there.
