I have been to Vegas with my group for over ten years and i thought we had seen every thing in shows that was worth while until this past trip. We were sceduled to go see the Badabing show at Georgio's rest. at Mandalay Bay but when we arrived there was a message waiting from Cousin Vinnie who we now know really does know everyone in Las Vegas.
It seems that at last minute the plans for the evening had changed and the show was not going to be at Mandalay Bay and we almost cancelled as we don't like last minute changes but Cousin Vinnie convinced us that we were goin to have the time of our lives and boy was he right.
We were picked by a 75 foot float that was lit up like a Christmas tree an at least 2 stories high and there was this statuesque showgirl who I think is the real boss who went by the name Fabulous, and that she was.
Well the show started on the float itself with all these gangsters and flappers and the show started on this float and we were having the time of are lives and before you knew it we were parked in front of Manadalay Bay and were escorted by Fabulous and the Badabing Gang to Georgio's rest where we had a great dinner and went back to the float and again we were parading down the Las Vegas strip while singing and dancin and just plain old having a great time.
We were then dropped off at the Venetian and all I can tell you is if you get a chance to go to the Badabing show and they use that float and do the show while driving the strip you will feel like your at Disneyland and that you own the strip because everyone driving by wanted to be on the float with us.
At the end we found out we were the ginny pigs with the Badabing float and from what i understand that is going to be there new home. So i rate this a 10 and a must see on your vagas trip.
Thanks for the ride Cousin Vinnie and I'm tellin everyone back home to go meet my cousin at the Badabing show.

if you look at the addresses of all the negative comments you will notice that
most of them are from cox.net, no, all of them are from cox.net.
it's also amazing that badabing was in the top 3 for over two years and had only 36 hits and within one week has over 90 hits
do you think that maybe the ones over 150 hits are playing with this rating chart? duh

How can someone pass this off as a show? Pretty poor acting and grade school attempts at humor. I DO NOT recommend this show to anyone.

Well, what can I say? It certainly wasn't what I had expected.....I had expected alot more for $88.00. Maybe it was the move to Club Seven. I had anticipated it being a larger crowd not just 40 people. Don't be fooled with the VIP tickets, the back dining tables were only 15 feet away from the VIP tables. Our food was cold and all you could hear was Carribean music from the bar outside. I guess good coverup for a Mobster type show! I can't say it was all bad, the show was funny, the people were very nice, but I was disappointed in the quality of everything. Certainly not like what the website had described it to be...certainly no interesting surprise guests. I have friends coming to Vegas and I honestly wouldn't recommend it. I wish maybe I was able to see it at NYNY or Stardust, maybe that would have made a difference, but maybe there was a reason for it not being there anymore.

Everyone had a wonderful time at BADABING! They took my wife up on stage and WOW! I never saw her dance like THAT before! The food at SEVEN was excellent. We even came back after the show and spent some time at the club dancing.

GREAT!
ONE NIGHT, AT THE LAST MINUTE MY WIFE AND I DECIDED ON A DINNER SHOW, THE TICKET SALESMAN SUGGESTED BADABING, AND WE WENT TO AN INTERACTIVE SHOW WHERE THE AUDIENCE IS PART OF THE SHOW.
WE WENT V.I.P. AND SAT WITH OTHERS AT OUR TABLE AND WE WERE THE PEPPERONI FAMILY. MY WIFE AND I HAD A BALL. YOU ARE IN A PARTY FOR MR. BIG OF LAS VEGAS AND THEY HAD MY WIFE AUDTION TO BE THE GIRL THAT JUMPS OUT OF THE CAKE.
THE SHOW IS IN A NIGHTCLUB CALLED SEVEN WHICH IS ACCROSS THE STREET FROM THE ALLADIN HOTEL, BUT THE ATMOSPHERE WAS ROARING TWENTYS. EVERYTHING FROM FLAPPER DANCERS TO GOOMBAS.
I GIVE BADABING AND THE WHOLE CAST A 10 FOR FUN,GREAT FOOD,AND I RECOMMEND THIS SHOW FOR ALL AGES. WHILE THERE WE SAW 2 OTHER SHOWS, BUT THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST.
ALSO, IT WAS A GREAT PRICE $88.00 FOR V.I.P. WHICH INCUDED EVERYTHING FROM A LOUNGE PERFORMER BEFORE THE MAIN SHOW PLUS DINNER AND GTATUITIES.

i have been a travel agent for over ten years here in las vegas and i booked a group fot this coming week into the badabing show at the stardust hotel.
thanks to cousin vinnie, my group will see the badabing show as cousin vinnie went out of his way so that i would not lose or be embaressed.i know that cousin vinnie is taking a loss on this group and i will not forget that.
i have booked several groups from weddings to reunions and also the toughest ones such as; xerox during comdex and have never had a complaint.
i have group bookings through 2006 which will go to the badabing company because i know everyone will be taken care of and will enjoy themselves.
mr. boyd;the room that the badabing show opened in was closed for three years and the badabing show is the number 3 production show in las vegas, bringing in new clientele, profits in food, beverage and gaming to boyd gaming.
rumer has it due to one person in upper management he was just proving he was the boss. the badabing show is closed and the the room that was making money is again closed.
maybe this upper management person should take the revenue profits that the badabing show was bringing in out of his pockets. and what about the stockholders. don't you think they would have like to have kept a top show like badabing that was profitable in all areas food,beverage and gaming. i guess not because the badabing show is closed at the stardust and the room that was reopened and again making money for boyd gaming is closed again.
thank you cousin vinnie for all your help this week when i couln't even get a return phone call from the stardust sales dept.
to all hotel owners and operators cousin vinnie is negotiating for a room for the badabing dinner show and if you want a fun show that's already a profitable proven show then contact cousin vinnie at badabingshow.com
cousin vinnie, you've got class.

Luckily, I checked the BaDaBing website before our flight to find that the show moved from the Stardust to NY NY. When we got NY NY, no one knew there knew that the show was even there. Finally one person at the Tickets & Tours desk spent an hour trying to get to the bottom of things as she knew that it had played there the night before. She finally got the right phone numbers but the lines were busy. So, we never got to see the show. When we arrived home a few days later, there was a message from Cousin Vinny on our voice mail, left the day of the show, to apologize for not performing that night and to call him which we did. He returned our call and said that he would not only issue the credit, but he's sending us a t-shirt, and will comp us at the show the next time we're in Vegas. We were disappointed in not seeing the show but Cousin Vinny definitely smoothed things over.

this is the best interactive show i have ever seen, the whole audience is part
of it and they let you know you are there to enjoy yourself and if it wasnt for a friend of mine that told me about it i wouldn't have known it was there as there is nothing on the hotels billings on the front of the building and there is nothing in the tourist magazines. so take my advice go to see the badabing show at the stardust hotel. its great!

now this was well worth the money. there were 6 of us and four of us had to be talked into going to this badabing dinner show. by the time it was over we had all decided to go again and again. the show was at the stardust at the time and we just called to make plans for our next trip and found out that they are no longer there. so we went onto the internet and found them listed under badabingshow.com.
i spoke with mickie the bookie and he advised me that cousin vinnie, when you see the show you can tell he's one of the real boys. anyway we booked the show again for this september and they told us they would let us know where there new hideout would be. mickey said that cousin vinnie like to keep moving to stay one step ahead of the feds.
i don't quite understand why the stardust hotel let this great fun show get away but from what i could tell there either going to new york new york or
the alladin.
whatever you do while in las vegas take the time to go see the badabing show
it's like going out with all the chicago and new york familys when a party was a party.
by the way i was the don of the pepperoni family and i got a video to prove it.

when we arrives in vegas this was the show everyone was talking about. we were staying at the bellagio and we took our family and what we were told was true. we had a great fun time. the food was good, the service was good but the fun from the badabing cast didnt stop from beginning to end. we all danced and sang like we were at a real family party. we were the pizza family and my son who is 12 was the don of the table. also saw splash, which was good but for the money badabing was the best thing we went to while in las vegas.
if you are going to vegas to have fun,, not just gamble go see the badabing show. number 1 in my book.

i am a big sopranos fan, so when we were making our trip reservation to vegas we could not resist this badabing show.
we spent 5 days in vegas and saw danny gans, gladys night ,mystere and badabing. all i can tell you is, if badabing had been the only show we had gone to, we would not have missed a thing. the others shows were good,but badabing was like going to a fun, and i mean fun party. the cast was great. the guy playing johnny had hair that was 1 foot high and you could tell he has been around in the business awhile because he had a comedy spot that had everybody in stitches. good food lots of funand they just started a nightclub that began after the show started ans it was like being in hte 40s, dancing and good singing and the atmosphere was real class.
anyway, i read a few of the comments that are listed here and there is one giving this show a bad rating. it's obvious the guy doesn't know what he's talkinf about. i mean look at his signature #big kid#.
if you take the time and lookk at the majority of these reviews,you van see that almost everyone says you dhoulnt miss the badabing show.

all i have heard about is this badabing show, that when youve got friends or relatives in town you"got to take them to this show. well, i gotta tell you, we got there almost an hour early and instead of waiting in line , we were seated and they had a girl singer/hostess and piano player that was great. but the moment we walked into the badabing room which is in the stardust hotel, it was like walking into an old black and white movie ,like guys and dolls. the main guy, cousin vinnie was unbelievable. before the show started he was all over the room, so were the other cast people introducing themselves, but this cousin vinnie guy was right out of the past. my wife and i have seen murder mystery show and even tony and tinas wedding but this was just great fun from the momrnt you walked in until the end. there were 8 in our party and it was my fathers birthday. they made him mr. big that night and at 80 years old, it was the thrill of his whole trip. the whole show is just grat fun from beginning toend. the whole audience gets involved. my 10 year old little girl was used in the show and has already asked when we are going back.
i have been in las vegas for over 20 years, and i have seen some great shows but i cound't believe that we got vip seats, the dinner,which was very good,the tax,tip all for $88 bucks.to get all that for $88 dollers is impossible today.
in the old days the stardust was known for alot of the real familys build this town. whoever brought cousin vinnie and the badabing show to the stardust deserves a raise.
i recommend this to everybody thatwants a good dinner and wants to have fun.

This is truly a sad sad show. I figure they are just playing the odds that there is a million travellers into Vegas in a week and they only need like .1% of them to be stupid enough to go to this show to survive and that afterwards these people will leave town upset but too far away to affect the closing of this show.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY, it is a cheap wannabe rip off of Tony N Tina and they couldnt even do a good imitation job.

wow! what a great time. i expected to have fun but this was a night my family will never forget. that guy cousin vinnie was great and so was the whole night. we really felt that we were at party, everyone sang and danced. the part i liked the most was when they had audience members line up and did the 12 of christmas what they called the goomba way. the badabing room at the stardust was a perfect setting. as we walked in a couple of gangsters frisked us and flapper dancers talked just like as if you were in a nightclub back in the old days.also, the food was very good and the service excellant. all i know is if you want to out and want a fun time and you like to be a part of a show, this is the best i have ever seen.

I recently saw Ba-Da-Bing with my wife and I have to say that it was the best night out I can remember. The story line was incredible and the charactors were outragiously funny. The room was perfect. My wife danced in an audition for the cake dance for Mr. Big and really got into it. I never laughrd so hard. This show is amazing...a definate must see. I highly recomend it!!!

The singing and the acting was poorly done. We bought tickets through lasvegasshows.com and then had to pay again when we got to the Aladdin. Ba-Da-Bing personnel gave me a letter stating that I could get my money back with this letter. They were wrong. I paid too much money TWICE to see a show NOT worth watching. I will never buy over the internet again because of this error. I would think that Aladdin would not want this show in their hotel. It is well beneath the standards of most productions.

I saw this show in mid August, and being from New York, I have to say that I felt like I was attending a family get together. It reminded me of a comedic version of a Sopranos episode. The script was hilarious, the acting was great, and the songs were a lot of fun and interactive. The food was good at best, but should not be why you come to this show. I note that, although I feel that it is kid appropriate, I would warn you that some of the humor makes references to drinking and sexuality and there is a gunshot at one point. All in all, this show was fantastic, and did a great job entertaining my wife and I.

There is a reason this show has been at the Greek Isle/Orleans/Aladdin/and now the Stardust (among others). It's horrible. Not only is the show grossly over-priced it has the feel of a high school written and acted performance. We also had trouble with the box office and know our credit card won't be credited anytime soon. The "free champagne" is a joke, we received less than a half of glass. I would recommend this show if it was $20 and you needed to kill some time. There are so many great productions in Las Vegas and this is NOT one of them. They have produced this show with the "tourist tap" - meaning they promote a crappy show to out-of-towners but they never hear from you again - they took your money and now you're gone so you aren't around to complain and that's good enough for them. Spend your entertainment dollar MUCH more wisely than this lousy show.

We were not too sure when we first got there, because the room was so small. I thought why did we pay for VIP when almost all the tables were VIP. Turned out to be an excellent show. Little did we know that the table we sat at, a young couple came in late and sat at our table...they seemed nice enough, and were very friendly. The lady said that she did not want to participate in the show,and when the guy started looking for people to come, she said, "Oh no, here they come...she kind of hided behind a pole next to our table. I told her I couldn't because I had just had surgery, and couldn't climb up on the stage" Well, they ended up picking her, and I told her she would do fine. Later in the show, she had a part that they told her to dance too and jump out of a cake. She was awesome. As soon as she started dancing....I knew that she HAD to be a part of the show! And she was! She had our whole family fooled. Her husband, as it turned out was a dancer in another Las Vegas Show. The food was great, and it was a very interactive experience. My husband who is a police officer actually participated in the show as well. I recommend people to take their cameras, because you never know who they are going to pick....and they get someone from almost every table!!! Great Job Ba-Da-Bing

We have been to many shows in vegas but have not had as much fun any near as much as BADABING. Cousin Vinnie and da buoys really made us feel like part of "da famlee". It was a rip to pose hands on with my son in law with a thompson submachinegun.The sound was great, the setting authentic the characters real. The mobster's diva landing on your lap will surely make the price of a ticket a winning wager. All of the characters were so "into" their roles you couldn't help but to become part of the show yourself, YOU WILL HAVE SUCH A GOOD TIME AT BADABING IT WILL GIVE YOU GOOSEBUMPS. Going again on our next trip is a deal we couldn't refuse, if you catch my drift BADABING!

Starting with the email confirmation we received from Cousin Vinnie when we purchased tickets - we knew this wasn't your run of the mill show. We were greeted by folks already "in character" who immediately make you part of an Italian family (we were the Ziti Family). The entire show is interactive & there are so many opportunities where audience members become part of the act. We were served salad with a choice of entree, sipped champagne, and even got dessert. Every cast member played their part to the fullest which made it easy for us to become part of the experience. My boyfriend is Italian which made all the silly stereotypes & jokes throughout the show even funnier. Even after leaving the show we were still laughing & talking about it on the drive home. We've already told so many of our friends about the great time we had & that they've got to see Ba-Da-Bing for themselves.

I had the best time at Ba Da Bing at the Orleans Hotel. The show was so entertaining. Not only were the performances by the actors professional, but we were thoroghly entertained and laughed from the moment we walked in till we walked out the door. I would recommend this show to anyone...a great performance and a great meal. Thumbs up to Ba Da Bing!!!
