V – The Ultimate Variety Show at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino
V is a compact, quick-moving show built around a simple Las Vegas pleasure: you never have to wait long for the next act. One moment may bring comedy, the next juggling, acrobatics, magic or a daring physical stunt. The changing lineup keeps the format fresh, though it also means you cannot plan around seeing one particular performer.
I like two things in particular: the mix of acts gives families and mixed-age groups plenty to watch, and the small theater can put you close to the action. The emcee is another part of the draw, with audience interaction and comic introductions helping tie the acts together.
The trade-off is that this is a variety bill, not one polished story with a fixed cast. Your seats are assigned by the theater box office, so you will not know their exact location in advance, and the lineup can change from one day to the next.
V Show at a Glance

- A changing bill of acts: Expect a mix that may include juggling, comedy, magic, visual arts, stunts and physical feats. The program varies, so no two performances are promised to be identical.
- A small showroom: The V Theater is inside Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile Shops. Close seating can make the action feel immediate, though the room is not a grand, high-gloss theater.
- An entertaining host: The emcee is a key part of the show. Wally Eastwood is praised in some accounts, while another names Charlie, but the host can vary.
- A family-friendly option: The show is described as suitable for all ages, and audience participation adds a shared, playful feel.
- A short Strip evening plan: The performance lasts about 75 minutes, with shops and restaurants in the same complex for before or after.
- A modest ticket price: At $37.40 per person, the ticket includes taxes and fees. Drinks are extra, and your seat category is selected when you book.
Inside Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile Shops

The V Theater sits inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, right on the Las Vegas Strip. That location makes the show easy to combine with a meal, a browse through the shops or another stop along the Strip. You do not need to build a separate outing around it.
The shopping area is part of the practical appeal, but it can also make finding the theater less direct than walking up to a street-facing venue. Give yourself time to locate the box office and collect your tickets. The listed redemption point is the V Theater Box Office, at 3663 S Las Vegas Boulevard, Suite 360.
This is a theater show rather than a guided tour. You make your own way to the venue, and hotel pickup and drop-off are not included. The location is near public transportation, according to the activity details, but no specific route or parking arrangement is provided.

A Fast-Moving Mix, Not One Long Act

The main event is a succession of specialty performances, linked by an emcee. The possible acts include juggling, comedy, magic, visual artistry, stunts, special effects and other physical feats. The appeal is variety: if one act is not your favorite, another is along soon.
The exact lineup changes, and the show’s description suggests that one day might feature a prop comic while another could bring a roller-skating duo or contortionist. Treat those as examples, not a promise. If one specific act is the reason you are considering a ticket, this format carries some uncertainty.
The emcee helps make that variety feel like a show rather than a string of unrelated turns. Audience members describe the host as funny and engaging, and participation may be part of the performance. Wally Eastwood is named by some people who attended, while another account mentions Charlie. Since the host and acts can change, do not book on the assumption that a particular person will appear.
That flexibility is both the show’s strength and its limitation. You get a sampler of different skills in one sitting, but you may not see the exact act you had in mind. I would approach it as a lively variety bill, not as a chance to catch one guaranteed performer.
What the 75 Minutes Feel Like

The performance runs about one hour and 15 minutes. That is a useful length for a family outing or an evening with several stops: long enough for a full program, short enough to fit around dinner or other plans. The quick changes between comedy and physical acts help keep the pace moving.
Some of the show’s appeal is the contrast between acts. Juggling asks you to watch for precision; stunts and acrobatics can add suspense; comedy gives the room a chance to relax and laugh. The balance depends on that day’s lineup, so the energy and tone may shift from performance to performance.
The smaller showroom can make the action feel close. Some audience members value being near the stage, while one person found a far-right seat less desirable than a more central spot. The box office assigns seats, and their exact locations are not known in advance. You can choose a ticket category when booking, but that does not mean you select a precise seat.
Very close seats have their own compromise. They can bring you near the performers and make fast-moving acts feel immediate, but a few rows back may offer a broader view of the stage. If a central angle matters to you, check what each seating category promises before purchasing. The available information does not specify the exact view attached to each category.
Is It a Good Show for Children?

The show is described as family-friendly and appropriate for children. Its mix of comedy, magic, physical skills and visual acts gives younger audience members several ways to stay engaged, and adults are not left watching a children-only program. Families with children around school age are among those who have found it a good fit.
Audience participation can add a lively element, especially for children who enjoy seeing someone brought into the action. It also means the room may feel more interactive than a formal theater performance. If your child is shy, you can prepare them for the possibility of audience involvement, though participation is not guaranteed for any one person.
As with any live show, the lineup and humor may vary. The supplied information describes the production as suitable for the whole family, but it does not give an age minimum or a detailed content guide. If you need a firm answer about a particular child’s needs, contact the theater before booking.

Making the Price Work for You

At $37.40 per person, the ticket offers a 75-minute Strip entertainment option at a moderate price point. Taxes and fees are included, which makes the listed total easier to understand. Drinks are not included, though they are available to buy at the Showgirl Bar outside the theater and may be brought into the showroom. Other outside food and drink are not allowed.
Value depends on what you want from a Vegas show. If you like seeing several different skills in one performance and want a family-friendly night without committing to a long production, this is a sensible choice. The rotating acts and comic host provide more variety than a single-specialty performance, while the smaller venue can bring the action close.
It may be less appealing if you expect a lavish set, a fixed storyline or a specific performer. One audience member thought the value changed at a much higher price for VIP middle seats, which is a useful reminder to look closely at the category and total cost. The listed $37.40 price is the available per-person figure here, but your chosen category may affect what you pay.
The show is booked an average of 23 days ahead. That is a planning clue, not a guarantee that every date sells out. If a particular evening matters to your schedule, booking ahead gives you more certainty; if your plans are flexible, you can weigh the available seating categories and price before deciding.
Before the Curtain Goes Up

Your ticket is held at the V Theater Box Office for collection on the day of the performance. Bring a valid photo ID for the lead traveler and plan to pick up the ticket at least 30 minutes before showtime. The box office is listed as open daily from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., though hours can change.
Seating begins 15 minutes before showtime. Arriving early gives you room to find the theater, collect tickets and get settled without turning the first act into a race through the mall. Seats are assigned by the box office, and the exact seat is not known before the performance date.
Drinks are available for purchase at the Showgirl Bar outside the theater and may be taken into the showroom. No other outside food or drink is allowed. Hotel transfers are not part of the ticket, so factor in your own route to Planet Hollywood.
Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the experience starts. Cancellations made within 24 hours are not refundable, and changes inside that window are not accepted. The cut-off uses local time.
Pairing the Show With Miracle Mile

The Miracle Mile Shops make the show convenient to plan around. You can eat or shop before the performance, then continue afterward without leaving Planet Hollywood. That is especially handy if you want a straightforward Strip evening rather than a night built around multiple rides across town.
Keep your schedule realistic. The show itself lasts about 75 minutes, but you will need time to collect tickets and find the theater. If you are arranging dinner nearby, allow a comfortable gap rather than assuming you can walk straight from your table into your seat.
The venue’s setting also suits a first or last night in Las Vegas. It is central, the performance is not especially long, and the mix of acts gives you a taste of the city’s broad entertainment style without asking you to commit an entire evening. The downside is that the mall setting does not have the feel of a grand theater entrance, and the auditorium is described as smaller and fairly plain.
Who Should Book V?

I would book this show if you want an easygoing, family-friendly performance with a little of everything. It suits groups with different tastes, since comedy, magic, stunts and juggling offer more than one reason to pay attention. It is also a good fit if you value a short show in a central Strip location and want to pair it with a meal or shopping.
I would look elsewhere if your main goal is to see a named performer, get a fixed program or sit in a specific seat. The changing roster is part of the format, and seat assignments are made at the box office. For the price, the best match is someone who enjoys variety and is happy to let the evening bring a few surprises.
Book V for a compact, entertaining night that puts different kinds of live skill on one stage. Check the seating category and total price, arrive early to collect your tickets, and treat the lineup as a pleasant unknown rather than a promise.
