Magical Empire was fantastic! Food and entertainment were both wonderful. Can't believe it's closed now (or will be soon).

This show was recommended to me by my parents who had seen it in late 2001. I'm very glad they did. The entire evening was very entertaining & good value for money since you are entertained for 3 hours and get a very good meal as well.

The magician in the chamber during the meal was excellent and hilarious. The two shows after the meal were also good, although the close-up magician was far better than the slightly dissapointing illusionist in the main theatre.

I would definitely recommend this show - a must-see in Vegas.

WONDERFUL Value. For $75. you get a good mean and three wonderful shows. The first being while you eat in a private area with about 20 others. There's time to get to talk to those you're dinning with. I loved the show! I will go back the next time I'm in Vegas. We saw five other shows while we were in Vegas I believe this has to be favorite. WONDERFUL!!

Overall a good show. The food was excellent although we did feel a bit rushed during dinner. The magic shows themselves were very entertaining. Don' forget to ask for the discount if you go to the early show-- ten dollars off per ticket--they dont make you take the tour anymore to get it but you do have to ask. All in all a good value for an evening's entertainment.

This was our second trip through the Magical Empire. Two years ago the pre-dinner and dinner chamber experiences were more 'theatrical' than on this recent trip. But the experience was still quite enjoyable and the meal was good.

The shows were of very good quality (magically speaking). That purple Sultan (self described as Barney in drag)is a true professional entertainer. I wouldn't mind seeing a little more of him during the evening.

A night of fun. The food was very good. The price sounds hefty but you get an entire night of entertainment. Go for one of the free tours in the afternoon. The evening is a 'magical' evening. There are roving magicians and tarot readers. Along with singing skeletons! (my fave) I would suggest it for first-time Vegas visitors.

It’s amazing to me that there aren’t any dinner shows left in Las Vegas anymore. We were so pleased to find the Caesar’s Empire available and at such a reasonable price for shows and dinner too! The facility itself was beautifully designed and the whole underground theme was a brilliant idea, very unique. We couldn’t believe that we hadn’t heard of it before. All of the staff was friendly and great in character, accents and all. The big Swami guy who introduced the stage theater act was absolutely hilarious. What a sense of humor and quick on the draw with comments. He must have driven his teachers crazy.
Our favorite performer of the evening was Collin Foster, (with two “L”s as he says in his act) the card wiz in the close up theater. I’ve never seen card shuffling like that in my life, a real pro. He is an artist with his hands and has a presence that perfectly portrays a magician. Nice to see an amazing, confident talent, have such a quick sense of humor too. Good call to bring in an expert of that caliber in such a little room to observe so closely. He still has us thinking about one trick in particular. Next time I’m taking him to the blackjack table before I “donate” any more money to the casino. The husband and wife magicians were good together and fun to watch too. They were very well rehearsed.
All in all, we had a very memorable experience and will be something we recommend to everyone who asks us what to do in Las Vegas. We look forward to dining and gasping again at the Palace.

We have been to the Magical Empire four times now and evertime was excellent. We have had a different wizard in the private dining room each time and the shows after the dinner were different headliners each time. The Sultan in the big showroom is the same each time but we look forward to seeing him. He is a hoot!! Be sure to check out the player piano and the skeletons located in the bar between shows. Make a request for a song and the player piano will play it. We requested Indagodadavida and they knew it. The food is very good and the wine just keeps coming. We were told on our last trip by the lady at the box office that they are closing down this wonderful show when the Coliseum opens. Better get to this one while you can. It is a very fun night and a good price performer.

Mystere was sold out. This is a combined dinner and magic shows..... where you eat then go to different rooms for shows. The food was good..... Go with the beef versus the salmon or chicken. The entertainment thru dinner was kewl as was the the pick pocket the Sanctum Secorum. The "gay" Sultan was a hoot and the Majestix were a class act at the Sultan's Palace. The Secret Pagoda sucked after a minute as his card tricks were boring and we could not understand a word Fernando said in his broken English. The luminaria show at the Sanctum Secorum also was boring. Think we missed the Seance and we definately missed isabella the invisable piano player, wherever she was susposed to be. They are not well organized in assuring you see all the performances, but it would be fun for parents with kids. For dinner and a total of 30 minute of
entertainment over 3 hours, I question this ordeal, but I would only do it if I had a coupon for this
attraction at almost $100 per person.

This show is a joke. We are taken to the basement where the show was. A guy comes out with a deck of cards and four coins. He shows us the same tricks several times and then out we go. We did not know if the show was over or not... after we waited 5 to 10 minutes another magical guy comes up to us and shows us about the same tricks as the other guy only this time we can't hear him because of the noise of the other groups they are trying to take through the show. Finaly we get to the show where we seen a few magic tricks. The total time for all three shows could not have been more than 30 minutes. Caesars is trying to have several of the same show each night so that is why you will find yourself waiting about 1 1/2 hours to see the 30 minute show.

Show is not worth the money. If you buy your tickets over the internet the show does not even include the drink everyone else gets... buyer be ware.

Taking a flyer, I booked this dinner show for four after finding no negative reviews anywhere.

I had been to Las Vegas 8 times before finding this gem, and nothing in Vegas prepared us for this "magical" event. Others have given a description of the actual show, so all I can add is this is a must see! Yes, it could be somewhat spendy at $70, but we were inside for 3 hours and 20 minutes (seemed like about an hour)and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and no, I don't think it was all the free wine.

I heartily give my recommendation to all, and this would be especially wonderful for kids (although I didn't bring mine this time)

Good Meal and show. For the price, one of the better deals in Vegas. Go to it by all means. I will go back again. You can spend several hours watching the shows. I had the Steak. A Tenderloin Med Rare. Very Tender!!! Steamed veggies were perfect, Lots of wine. Never had a problem keeping the glass full. Desert was good also, but I was kind of full by then. Had a great time.

Best show I have ever been to anywhere!!!
Our "wizard" was great and involved every person in the dining chamber in the action.
Dinner (we had the chicken)was much better than expected and the wine kept flowing!!!
The catacombs were fun to explore and both the close up and big production magic shows were excellent. The best value for the dollar we spent during our trip.

This was a great dinner/show but it's not done in the traditional sense of a dinner show. You're first gatther with a group of around 20 other people and entertained while your dining chamber is made ready. A magician entertains you with slight of hand and jokes, then you are taken to your dining chamber while being told the "story" of Caesers Magical Empire.

Dinner is served while being entertained by magic tricks and jokes. It's really very entertaining and very good food. After dinner you're treated to three different shows. One is a close up slight of hand magic show. This is a small room with every seat having a great view of the magician and his hands. There is a larger room with a larger production type magic show with the bigger tricks you often see on TV. Finally there is a fire and light show out in the main forum.

While waiting between shows, there are two bars you can relax and enjoy you favorite drink. One bar has isabella the invisable piano player who will play your requests. There's also a pair of skeletons that hang on the wall and tell jokes.

All in all, this is one of the best values on the strip. Gourmet dinner and entertainment all for one price ($75 when we were there). Total time from start to finish is between 2.5 to 3 hours.
