This show has a great set (be sure to sit further back) and is quite a production. We saw it because we wanted to see a slice of Las Vegas, and we got it with this show. I was disappointed with the skill of the dancers and the men's costumes were not at all fitting for them -- found it to be negatively distracting. Glad we saw it but woundn't go back again.

It was a good performance but it seems the show needs to be updated a bit... some of the numbers are just dated and past there time,the Titanic numbers have to go.

This show came highly recommended to me by a friend in the fashion industry. From her perspective, the show is excellent but she was only looking at the craftsmanship of the costuming. That is one of the best parts of the show and I'm glad we saw it to have a taste of a "traditional" Las Vegas showgirl production. That said, we paid high dollar for up front tickets. Mistake. First, the production is so grand, being further back will offer better viewing. Second, the tables in the front are terribly uncomfortable and crowded. I felt like I was kicking the poor man next to me the whole time! Third, that close of a view really exposes the age of some of the lead dancers. One of the women had to be pushing 60! Don't get me wrong. I admired her for the fabulous shape she was in and her voice (if that really was her voice) but I was almost embarrassed for her when she came out topless. The "in between" acts were great, wish there had been more of those. Once is enough for this show. If you have limited time and/or budget, skip it.

This show had its good and bad points. The dancers were pretty, but some of them really needed to put on some weight. I was sitting upfront and you could see their ribcages. I would prefer to look at more shapely women. Most of the music is prerecorded, and it wouldn't surprise me if the singing was too. The best parts of the show were the acrobatic acts similar to Cirque de Soli. We had a 2 for 1 as part of a Bally's package, but it still wasn't an incredible value. If your time is limited, I would take a pass on this show and see O or Rita Rudner instead.

Jubilee is old and tired. After 20 years it needs to find a new life. A show needs more than great costumes. Also when we booked our tickets at Balley's box office they showed us a seating map and we selected our seats....but the map did not match the seating in the theatre. Beware!! Spend your evening elsewhere.

I TOOK AN AUSTRAILIAN CHICK I MET TO IT. WE HAD TO SETTLE FOR THE TOPLESS SHOW AT 10:30 AS I BOUGHT LAST MINUTE TIX. WE SAT IN THE MIDDLE PRICE RANGE SEATS ABOUT HALF WAY UP AND I WAS GLAD FOR THAT AS THIS IS A SHOW WHERE YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF FROM A LITTLE DISTANCE. SHE WANTED TO SEE TRADITIONAL LAS VEGAS SHOW ATTIRE AND THEY SURE DISHED IT OUT. BOTH OF US WERE BLOWN OFF OUR FEET, THEY WERE SPLENDID, AND HAD TOO MUCH CLASS TO BE TAKING THEIR TOPS OFF. I RECCOMEND IT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU DESIRE TO SEE TRADITIONAL LAS VEGAS SHOWGIRL ATTIRE. THEY EARNED EVERY PENNY I SPENT ON TICKETS, THE HARD WAY, THEY PERFORMED IN BRILLIANCE.

Loved the show. Awesome sets and costumes. Guys in the thongs weren't bad either. I would highly recommend this as a show to see.

Classic Vegas topless show!, I loved the show, my wife who has a dancing background spotted several errors, I did'nt notice it, then again it is topless!! Production was impressive and there is not a bad seat in the house (the theatre is rather small) Overall I would totally recommend this show, but try to find a 2for1

Not sure what to say about this one. Be prepared for a lot of skin, but that's not really a good thing as some of the dancers did not have bodies for the costumes they were wearing. That Samson and Delilah thing was really hard to watch. The Titanic scene was good, and the Cirque du Soliel type acts in between were the highlight, but only made me wish I was at Mystere or O instead.

We haphazardly got front row seats. After gaping through the opening act, my wife and I relaxed and truly enjoyed the lovely women, handsome men and the music of JUBILEE! Their costumes were gorgeous and the sets were quite extravagent. Their athletes were remarkable. Enjoyed the glitz! We felt like we experienced VEGAS from 1982 to 2002 within this show.

Great show. I am not the kind to attend opera houses or go to plays so I found myself reluctant to go. The bally's hotel comped me the tickets and even up to show time I was undecided about going, but my wife talked me into it. You see I'm a man's man and I felt like a twink walking it to a show like this. But I loved it. The show was unbelievably entertaining and the magician was great. I would recommend to everyone.

This show is geared towards middle aged men and women. The featured dancers are in their mid 40's and the music is dated around 1940. Perhaps because of the age of the dancers, the cast seemed tired and unenthusiastic for the second show of the evening. The male dancers were no better. The Samson and Delilah scene looked like something out of Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" video complete with leather codpieces and leather straps that looked extremely perverse. As a person in his early 30's this show was not for me at all. I may have enjoyed it a little more if I were about 20-30 years older.

I saw 'Jubilee!' in May 2002, and it somewhat disappointed me. First of all, being in my upper 20's, I would prefer to see topless women no older than myself - definitely not in their 40's as some of the main characters were. Don't get me wrong - the women are superb dancers and are in excellent shape. However the dancers' senior age does reveal thus defeating the show's reputation of being 'sexy'. The women looked quite asexual to me. Second drawback (again very subjective) is lack of modern music. The audience on my performance was mostly older people to whom the show must have appealed better. The positive sides - easy to follow story line, wonderful dancing and glamorous costumes. Very much like a Broadway musical. I give it 7.0 out of 10.0 grade.

We really enjoyed this show! The sets and special effects are awesome. The costumes are beautiful and the show is a lot of fun! The only drawback is that some of the filler acts in between the main acts went on a little long. I thought the the early show was covered and it is not, so what a suprise! It was more than I expected and would highly recommend it. Any seat in the house is a good seat, so I would not pay the extra money for an up front seat. Have fun!

Total cheese. It's Lawrence Welk on acid. Amazing sets, amazing topless showgirls, really cheesy gay chorus boys trying to "get the girl." Total corn for the cornball set.

I saw this show many years ago but wanted to see it again. The show was great but I wish I didn’t take the seats right up front. Need to be away from the stage to get full affect of production.

Traditional Las Vegas entertainment with all the glitter. Girls looked great with the best costumes imaginable! The whole show was terrific. Three times better than the older version, Folies Bergere.

Good news, bad news. I thought the topless dancers were pretty impressive. I thought the ridiculous lack of a plotline hurt the show. What is the common ground between Sampson crumbling the Philistine Temple and the Titatanic? A lot of people died. That is not exactly a great reason to sing and dance. So this show is basically dedicated to the principle that any spectacle is worth showing off for. Again, nice dancers. The featured singers were not exactly exciting. The magic act was the best part of the show. I would take somebody else to see the show that had never seen it, but I wouldn't see it on my own again. There are better shows in town, and a whole lot worse, but I am not sure you will see a showier topless production.

Very good special effects with the sinking of the Titanic. Nice show if you want to see traditional Las Vegas showgirls.

Old fashioned Las Vegas production show. Done very well. I don't know how some people can't appreciate this awesome production -it has everything, hundreds of cast members, extravagant costumes, attractive women in excellent shape, good music, dancing & etc. We see it every time we go to vegas - 2 or 3 times per year. It has improved over time as well. Bally's often offers 2 for 1 with hotel package plus other goodies. We also stay at Bally's
