The Mentalist Tickets: Las Vegas
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by V Theater and Saxe Theater · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Mind reading in Las Vegas, live. The Mentalist Tickets: Las Vegas brings Gerry McCambridge to the V Theater for comedy and magic mixed with live mind reading, with a good chance you’ll be part of the fun. I especially like the high level of audience participation and the fast, entertaining pace that keeps the whole 75 minutes moving.
One thing to plan around: this show is recommended for ages 16 and up, and it is not suitable for children under 16.
At $39 per person, you’re buying a straightforward Vegas evening focused on one thing: stage performance and audience interaction. It also holds a strong 4.5 out of 5 rating based on 85 ratings, so it’s not just a gimmick on paper.

Key things you’ll notice right away

- Front-row-friendly mind reading: Gerry pulls details from audience members on stage, like names and hometowns.
- Comedy plus magic, not a lecture: the mind reading comes wrapped in jokes and tricks.
- It stays interactive for real: the show is built around audience involvement rather than passive watching.
- No flash photography: you’ll want to keep your phone camera ready, but flashing is off-limits.
- Simple format, 75 minutes: easy to fit into a full Vegas day or evening plan.
Where The Mentalist show fits in: V Theater at Planet Hollywood

The biggest practical detail is the venue setup. Your ticket pickup point is the V Theater box office at the Miracle Mile Shops in Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. You’ll need your photo ID to collect tickets there.
Why I like this kind of location: Planet Hollywood is easy to navigate if you’re already staying on the Strip area. It means fewer “where is this?” moments and less time spent crisscrossing the city for one show.
Also, the experience provider lists both V Theater and Saxe Theater. In plain terms, that tells me the show is staged in purpose-built theaters in this complex, not in some random room. For you, that usually means decent sightlines and a real live-theater feel inside a big resort.

The 75-minute flow: comedy, magic, and mind reading

This show is 75 minutes long, which is a sweet spot in Las Vegas. You get a full performance arc, but you’re not stuck out late like with some longer headliner-style shows.
Here’s the rhythm you should expect based on how the show is described:
- Gerry McCambridge opens with comedy and magic on stage.
- Then the mind reading turns more interactive, with information pulled from audience members.
- The format cycles through multiple participation moments rather than one long single segment.
So while the theme is mind reading, it’s not treated like a serious hypnosis seminar. It’s staged as entertainment first: jokes, tricks, and then the “wait, how did he know that?” moments.
How the mind reading feels personal (and why that’s the point)

The core experience is Gerry demonstrating an ability to read minds from audience members. You’ll hear him call for information and then see it land on stage in real time.
The kinds of details mentioned for this show include:
- audience members’ names and hometowns
- personal wishes
- names of companions
- birthdays
That list matters because it explains why the show can feel oddly intimate. It isn’t just “I picked a random card.” It’s framed as pulling specific personal details you assume are private. Even when you know it’s stagecraft, the live pressure of it being happening to people around you gives it that Vegas-style wow factor.
One more practical note: flash photography isn’t allowed. That’s usually for two reasons. First, bright flashes can distract the stage and the performers. Second, it can mess with how the show is designed visually. If you want photos, keep them non-flashy and focus on capturing a couple of steady moments rather than trying to record everything.
Audience participation: fun if you’re game, awkward if you’re not

The Mentalist leans hard into participation. Audience members get called up or become part of the mind-reading moments, and Gerry may choose you.
This is the part that makes the show different from many Vegas magic acts. It’s not just watching someone do tricks. It’s more like watching a performance that occasionally uses the crowd as the material.
That can be a blast, especially if you like:
- light heckling energy (but in a comedy way)
- being part of a live moment
- sharing a laugh with the person picked next to you
But if you hate attention, or you’re with a group where one person absolutely wants zero spotlight, you should think twice. There’s no way to guarantee you won’t be involved, since participation is a stated feature of the show.
Price and value: is $39 worth it for a Las Vegas night?

$39 per person is a reasonable price point for a full staged Vegas performance, especially one built on live audience interaction. You’re not paying extra for guided tours or multi-stop schedules. You’re paying for one focused ticket: the show itself.
That said, there’s also the money math you should do ahead of time:
- What’s included: show ticket
- What’s not included: transportation, food, and drinks
So your true cost is $39 plus whatever you spend getting there and eating before or after. I’d treat this as an easy add-on to a bigger evening plan, not as a complete “all-in” package.
In value terms, it works well if you want:
- one clear ticket time and a predictable 75-minute commitment
- a show that tries to generate laughs and jaw-dropping moments
- a Vegas experience that doesn’t require doing multiple things
And with a 4.5/5 rating from 85 ratings, the price-to-entertainment ratio looks solid on paper. Just remember the experience is interactive, so choose it based on your comfort with being in the room for that type of show.
Tickets, timing, and what to do before you sit down

You’ll pick up tickets at the V Theater box office at Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile Shops with your photo ID. That’s the main “do this first” step.
Duration is 75 minutes, but starting times vary. So check availability for the specific slot you want.
For a smoother experience, I’d plan around two common realities:
- You’ll want to arrive with enough time to handle ticket pickup.
- You should be ready to turn your phone off or keep it quiet, since the show restricts flash photography.
Also, the show is wheelchair accessible, and there’s a small group format available. That can be a comfort factor if you prefer a less chaotic experience than a huge, packed theater.
Who should book The Mentalist Tickets: Las Vegas

This is a good fit if you want a Vegas night built around stage performance, not just sightseeing and wandering.
Go for it if:
- you enjoy magic that’s fun and accessible
- you like comedy with a live element
- you’re comfortable sitting close enough to be part of the moment if called upon
- you’re traveling with friends who would laugh at the unpredictability
Consider skipping or swapping plans if:
- you’re bringing kids under 16 (it’s not suitable for them)
- you dislike being singled out in any crowd setting
- you prefer purely “watch from afar” entertainment
The show’s recommended age of 16+ matters here. Even if the magic is for all ages in other contexts, the show’s format is clearly aimed at older teens and adults.

Should you book this show, or pass?
If you want a simple Vegas night with one main event—comedy, magic, and live mind reading—The Mentalist is an easy yes. The $39 price is fair for a 75-minute, audience-participation performance, and the overall 4.5/5 rating supports the idea that people are having a good time with the format.
I’d only hesitate if your group includes someone under 16 or anyone who really doesn’t want the possibility of being pulled into the spotlight. If that sounds like you, pick a different entertainment option and save this one for a night when everyone’s happy to laugh and play along.
