Our VIP Experience at America's Got Talent Las Vegas LIVE!

Today's adventure takes your Las Vegas Inside & Out correspondents to the Luxor, for a behind-the-scenes peek at America's Got Talent Las Vegas LIVE - and what exactly it means to be part of a VIP Experience! Just one year ago this week, this dazzling and spectacular variety show debuted, featuring the best of the best acts who competed on the AGT television show through the years. Join us as we sit at the Judges' desk, learn about the VIP Photo Experience, take a peek at the red carpet, and get the real scoop about Simon's Bust!
Then, we are going to give you a teaser of the show itself, in the newly redone Luxor Theater.
HUGE thanks to Sara Meeks and the staff from Storibox, for this exclusive opportunity!

[@paulamckenzie]

So glad we did this topic, Tony - I think there are a whole lot of AGT fans out there!

[@j.russelllacour318]

Your so do things to bring Vegas alive each well. DAle I never firget your a great artist as well. With a treasure trove of experiences. Can see your eays lite up when with other artists. Paula's your revel with joy doing and sharing all these experiences with Dale. Happy to call you friend. Russell & Jacob in Tucson, AZ

[@paulamckenzie]

We are happy to call YOU friend too! Yes, you know well how much show business, and talent, will light us both up - we are happy to see these folks making it big on the Las Vegas Strip.

[@KiKiD9554]

Cool video guys! I just returned home from Vegas and the prices were already expensive, but now there outrageously expensive. It's crazy

[@paulamckenzie]

We cannot deny it - we are thinking of doing a video on that topic, because it's getting out of reach for the average person. Sigh...

[@rongarris8574]

Keno tip. Right Now!

[@DaleMcKenzie]

Thank you!!!! 😊

[@josephmalloytravels7516]

Very cool. I noticed dale was on your left at the agt table paula , he's usually on your right Thanks for sharing Cheers 🥂🥂

[@paulamckenzie]

LOL you are TOO observant! That's the way we sat down, and we just left it that way. Our new friend Sara was actually running our camera for that intro.

[@clfhnt]

Thanks folks. Very interesting...........looks like a real winner!!

[@GamblinGranny]

Another fantastic video. We had been wondering about this show, and now after your review made it something we want to check out. Thanks Dale and Paula. 🤗🤗

[@paulamckenzie]

It is really really terrific fast-paced entertainment! And the tickets start at just $49...can't beat that.

[@CourtneyMcFate]

Great vlog! I consistently stay at the Luxor (tower rooms ROCK!) & have been on the fence about seeing this show. I think when I come out in December, I will! Looks amazing! Side note: I wonder if Sara & the gang need an IT per- wait.. scratch that… an IT QUEEN…. Cuz that’s what I do. 😁

[@paulamckenzie]

LOL well we don't know about that, but Sara was serious about the company hiring. And since everything they do is technology-based, you may have a shot!

[@petersampson5202]

DEAR DALE & PAULA, GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIENDS. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE AND THE BEST AND HAPPIEST 2022 OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I LOVE YOU. 🙏 SINCERELY PETER

As always.....WOW. This is a lonng way from the Rat Pack. Tech personified. Good job. You guys are getting so famous.

[@paulamckenzie]

LOL tech personified, for sure! If you asked Dale ( or me), we'd probably say...we prefer the Rat Pack!

SO MUCH FUN THANKS

Oh yes, you will be dazzled by it, and I have a feeling it will be around for a long time - catch it on your next trip!

The Tuckers watched with lunch and we enjoyed the McKenzies got talent!!!❤

[@paulamckenzie]

We love that - the McKenzies got talent! LOL...🥰

[@the_benjamin_effect]

Yet another LV experience added to my next time in LV list because of you. As always, great video.

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you so much, Ben - we are ever flattered that you continue to tune in to our channel, for all these years, no matter what the topic. 🥰

[@caroljames6371]

Can you please tell us watchers how much the tix we're for vip and regular audience? Thank you for your fun and informative vids!

[@paulamckenzie]

Well it's a little funny on the website, so not sure. Sara told us the VIP package that she gave us is $40. The tickets to the AGT Live show start at $49. There is a VIP package on the website advertised for $149 and $169, which includes a meet & greet with some of the performers. So, I'm not quite sure what the cost of an AGT ticket plus the VIP photo package actually costs...

[@caroljames6371]

@@paulamckenzieThank you for your info!

[@sarameeks]

Tickets start around $60 dollars. Vip is is around $115.

[@sarameeks]

Tickets are around $60 to $80 and VIP around $115.

[@sarameeks]

If you get General Admission tickets you can do the VIP photo experience for another $40.

[@maryweir5844]

I miss Vegas! That looked amazing.

[@paulamckenzie]

You can barely turn your back for a day or two, and something new is happening in this town!

[@pennymarmar]

What a great break down of this LV show. With so much talent in one variety show sounds like a great family friendly show . This does remind me to bring my own water to save money as LV is notorious for 💰💸 on guest

[@paulamckenzie]

It definitely is appropriate for families, kids, grandparents, everybody! And yep, if you can carry your own water you will save a bundle.

[@busterbud]

Another informative, interesting and fun video. "America's Got Talent" reminds me of "The Ed Sullivan Show," on steroids, because in the days of Ed Sullivan the lighting and pyrotechnic technologies were of course not what they are today. Paula, as I'm sure you and Dale remember, the acts presented on Ed Sullivan were quite diverse. For example, there would be a comedian, then next up would be a dance troupe, followed by a plate spinner, and the next act would be an opera singer. I guess that's why they called them "variety shows." Keep the great content coming.

[@paulamckenzie]

Yes, Buster, this is a great comparison! It IS very. much like the Ed Sullivan show - a true variety show where all kinds of talent are featured. I mean - a quick change artist? How unusual is that!

[@ExploreVegas]

Love behind the scenes. Thank you for sharing. ❤ Love from your fan club.

[@paulamckenzie]

Hello Flynn & Rose - so nice to hear from you! You're our fan club? Well thank you a whole bunch!! 🥰🥰

[@gingerriviera3654]

You're superstars. Love yet another awesome video. Thank you for all the hard work! 🙏🏽

[@paulamckenzie]

LOL not superstars, just us...but we did have a terrific opportunity, thanks to Sara. 😊

The behind the scenes at the "American's Got Talent" show at Luxor looks cool.

Wow! What an awesome experience! Great production!

Thanks so much, Walt - we had a lot of fun with this one!

[@donnawalker147]

Very interesting video and thx for sharing.❤

[@lancestaab2372]

Like I mentioned in a previous comment?? Dale and Paula are Legends, Its hard to pick the two of you or Wayne Newton as the most famous Las Vegas Legends thru out the last 60 yrs. To me I vote for Paula and Dale. Wayne is great and I have seen him many a times but Dale and Paula are Epic. continue with the best Vloggs in Vegas thru out the 2000's

[@paulamckenzie]

OK, Lance, people are gonna think you're being paid off by us for making these extravagant comments LOL!! Thank you, sincerely - those are some amazing coimparisons right there. 🥰🥰

[@citibear57]

Wouldn't it have been wonderful had a show like AGT existed when Dale was first starting out? You know Dale, they have contestants of all ages on the show. Why don't you audition for an upcoming season? 😄

[@paulamckenzie]

LOL yeah maybe when he was MUCH younger! Like he said, it's similar to vaudeville. But now, he's a nice retired guy making KZbin videos... 😊

[@scottcrossland8334]

What a wonderful backstage VIP experience! It's always a fun to do in Vegas. Seven years ago, I was in Vegas for my brother-in-law's wedding. He, and my now sister-in-law, live in LV, so it's always fun when we visit. On this particular visit, we saw the Beatle's LOVE Show. My now sister-in-law was a barber for the Lead Carpenter of the show, and we got our own private tour after the show. We got to see many of the animatronics, and even met some of the cirque performers. Thanks for sharing your experience with us! Maybe we will do the VIP tour on our next visit.

[@paulamckenzie]

OMG you were so lucky - that must have been an absolutely amazing experience! Yep, sometimes, if you know somebody who works in the shows or at the resorts, you can do things nobody else can do. 😊

[@scottcrossland8334]

@@paulamckenzie Agree 100% ! Blessed to have a brother in law, who has lived for over 20 years, in Las Vegas.

[@rongarris8574]

Paula and Dale, I just watched your latest video, RYEEEE TEH NOW! What a treat is all I can say. Thank you.

[@paulamckenzie]

We are so glad you were able to take a peek behind the scenes with us, Ron - and thank you for the treat!

[@nancyg1329]

That show looks like so much fun. Definitely on our list for our next trip. Thanks D&P 😊

Yes! You will like it, it's fast-paced, entertaining, and the acts are fantastically talented!

Love that show! We saw it last year when it first opened. We are avid fans of AGT!

[@paulamckenzie]

So glad we were able to show you a little of the Behind-the-Scenes, Yvonne!

[@DavidBrown-tw1zc]

WE did the VIP experience a few weeks ago it was well worth it

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you for saying that - it's good for our viewers to see that others have done these things, and found them worthwhile!

[@texadonkey34]

Paula is a keeper, but the button was funny👍😻. You guys always appear in the neatest places⭐⭐. Wow, the shows are great & I never knew. Thank you for the behind the scenes tour.🎉🤩

So glad you could tag along on our BTS adventure!

Fantastic video today. How exciting!

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you - and it was exciting, we were SO jazzed for it, in the days leading up to it...

[@CS-lm1di]

I’ll miss your everyday “Scotchmas”! That’s okay, I’m sure it’s a lot to do everyday. I’ll enjoy the 2 days a week!🥃🎄😊

[@paulamckenzie]

It sure is a LOT of work and time -- and having done it two years in a row, I'm the one who kinda put my foot down and said no. That granddaughter deserves some of our time too! That being said...we are hard at work on those 8 Scotchmas eps, and we promise to make them good ones. 😊

Oh my goodness Dale and Paula this was an amazing video wow you all really did.. this… I’m speechless… this is the first time that I am speechless.

[@marie-thereseguimond7841]

Great video again Dale and Paula! Such a nice experience for you both👏👏💫💟😊

[@paulamckenzie]

It sure was - we had such fun that whole day. Great experience!

[@LoguesLife]

What an amazing opportunity! We loved this show too and what is neat about it is that the performers often change so you don’t always get the same show each night. Gosh, that Luxor food court is no joke for the prices! We felt the same way when we were there a couple of weeks ago haha! One tip is that you can get a free water at Starbucks! And that one in the food court isn’t nearly as busy as the other locations there! 😊 Such a wonderful video as always!! Thank you!

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you for taking the time to watch, we appreciate you! And, we will always take the tip on free anything in Las Vegas! 🥰

[@cakienudge]

That looked like such fun. It would never have occurred to me it was good! Thank you!

Those performers are incredibly talented, I mean inspirational! And, vastly entertaining.

[@angelsharp4749]

I have tickets to the America's Got Talent Show later this month, but my problem is I would love to do the VIP experience, but when you do it, you have to sit in a certain section of the theater thst does not have Handicap seating. I called and they said you have to sit in the vip section. You cannot add the experience and sit in a non vip seat in the theater. Thst excludes people in wheelchairs from doing the vip experience.

[@paulamckenzie]

Wow, this is disturbing! I can't believe they link those two things together, when there is really no sensible reason to do that. I can't believe that, even when you called and spoke to them, they couldn't make other accommodations. 😔

[@savingsilver]

This definitely makes me want to see AGT Live next time I’m in Vegas, hopefully just before Christmas! Can’t wait!

[@paulamckenzie]

Ohh you will love that show - it is SO good!

[@monicasanders810]

Thanks for the behind-the-scenes of AGT. I don’t watch these type of reality shows anymore but it was interesting to see the behind the scenes.

[@paulamckenzie]

To tell the truth, we don't either - like, ever! But Sara made us an offer we couldn't refuse...and it was a lot of fun.

[@Ucongold]

This was awesome! I didn't even know it was an option in Vegas..now it is on our list! Appreciate the hard work and the sincere acknowledgement you send out.
