Criss Angel: Mindfreak
Magic / Illusion
Season: Ongoing
Criss Angel MINDFREAK performs Wednesday through Sunday at 7:00 PM at his dedicated theater inside Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, with select 9:00 PM performances on high-demand nights. Named 'the #1 magic show of all time' by the Las Vegas Sun, this 75-minute live spectacular integrates over 50 of Angel's most iconic illusions with state-of-the-art lighting rigs, coordinated pyrotechnics, video technology, and spatial audio that transform the theater into an immersive arena built around death-defying spectacle. Angel has logged more than 100,000 hours of performance across his Las Vegas career — the Mindfreak show draws repeat visitors who come specifically to experience illusions they know in advance and still cannot explain, which is one of the benchmarks of great close-up and theatrical magic. The production budget rivals arena concert tours: the lighting and pyrotechnic sequences are individually choreographed to each illusion rather than used as generic atmosphere, and the show's physical scale — live levitation, disappearance of audience members, and large-format stunts — is calibrated to the theater's specific dimensions. The show is appropriate for all ages but works best for adults and older children who can appreciate both the spectacle and the theatrical craft involved. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster and the Planet Hollywood box office, with VIP packages including backstage access and meet-and-greet opportunities at premium price tiers. Planet Hollywood is located at 3667 S Las Vegas Blvd at the center of the Strip near Paris Las Vegas and the Bellagio. The 7:00 PM showtime positions MINDFREAK as a pre-nightclub entertainment option — the show lets out by approximately 8:15 PM, well before Strip nightclubs reach peak hours, leaving time for dinner before heading to OMNIA, XS, or any of the Strip's major nightclub venues. Free guest list for Las Vegas nightclubs is available through NoCoverVegas. Sources: crissangel.com/planet-hollywood-mindfreak/, vegas.com/shows/magic/criss-angel-mindfreak-planet-hollywood/

Arrival Tips & Parking
Planet Hollywood is a mid-size theater environment, which means seating is more intimate than an arena but still structured with assigned seats. Arriving 20 to 30 minutes early gives you time to find your seats and grab a drink without rushing. Most Strip theaters are inside casino-hotels, so you will pass through the gaming floor on the way in — budget a few extra minutes for that.
Planet Hollywood is located at 3667 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109. Parking options vary by show — on big nights, self-park garages fill early and valet lines get long. Rideshare is one of the most efficient options for shows that let out all at once, though surge pricing is common post-show. If you are staying at a nearby hotel, walking is often the best option and lets you avoid traffic entirely.
Dress Code
Most Las Vegas theaters have a smart-casual dress code expectation, though strictly enforced dress codes are rare for concert events. Business casual to casual is appropriate. If the show is at a high-end venue, dressing up slightly is a good call — you will likely want to do dinner or drinks before or after anyway.

After Criss Angel: Mindfreak — Las Vegas Nightlife
Most Las Vegas shows let out between 10 PM and midnight — right when the nightclub scene hits its stride. Whether you're after an EDM headliner, a hip-hop night, or a high-energy open-format club, the Strip has options within a short rideshare ride of any major venue.
The key is signing up for guest list before the show. Guest list entry is free and skips the cover charge — you just need to arrive before the cutoff (typically 11 PM or midnight depending on the club). Sign up the morning of your concert and plan your after-show spot so you can go straight from the venue to the club without losing momentum.
