First thing you should know right up front is that no one in this show attempts a Sinatra impression. They sing many of his songs and do a very good job with them, but they are not “doing” Sinatra.
Second, the show is at the Clarion, which is off the strip and anything but upscale. They perform in the old "Debbie Reynolds Theater," which has nice acoustics but is now anything but elegant.
I went on a weeknight and there were only about 20 people in the audience. The show was still good but it really belonged in a New York night club setting, with nice tablecloths, champagne and chandeliers, in a room full of dressed up patrons. This was more of a light beer and jeans setting.
The banter and attempts at humor were a bit stale, but the singers were really good, and the songs were well chosen. Several of the singers might have had night club acts of their own in a bygone era.

Don't bother the strange area and hotel. Compared to the strip casinos, this one doesn't look too good, but the show, however, is amazing!!! The songs are very well interpreted and the hotel staff is very friendly.
Enjoyed all the songs, performances and it was really nice to get to know the artists after the concert.
I must confess that when I arrived at the hotel I almost backed out, but i am very glad I didn't. I strongly recommend the show.

Well, we’re glad you stuck around too! Some people aren’t sure what to expect when they first arrive, but it’s really a great place to do a show. Thanks again for your kind words, and hope to see you again soon!

Wasn't sure what to expect when I walked into that hotel, but once I heard their voices I thought I was on Broadway. Four different singers, even a lady, singing all kinds of Sinatra songs. Each had a talented voice, each had their own flare, and each with an obvious love of the man and his music. I'll recommend this to anyone. Don't let the hotel fool you, you've got a great experience waiting for you. Go see the show.

I have been a tripadvisor user for a lot of years and I have never had to write a poor review. I feel it is just not fair for me to not warn people about this show. Since I have relied on tripadvisor reviews for so long I always feel that the reviews have never steered me wrong, but this time they did. First, of all the Wolf Theater has not been refurbished I am sure since it was built. It is in deplorable condition. The Clarion Hotel where it is located is even worse. It was the seediest hotel I have ever been in in my life. The advertisement that it was 1/2 block off the strip is not accurate either. We came from The Wynn Hotel and no one there had even heard of the show and it took quite a bit of calling around to find out where the hotel was even located. Only the woman singer had any talent at all. The younger male singer was only okay. The singing was to taped music and the jokes were corny beyond belief. My husband is 75 years old and has been a Sinatra fan since he was a teenager and he was so very disappointed in this show. He had really been looking forward to it. If you want to hear good Sinatra music go to the show The Rat Pack is Back. We went to that show last summer and the singing was fantastic. It is an impersonator type show, but that doesn't matter if the singing was so beautiful and the theater was nicer. Again, I feel really sad to have to write such a poor review but since I have relied on other tripadvisor members and their reviews for so many years I just feel that I need to let people know not to waste their money.

we’re sorry the show didn’t hit you the way it has so many others – our old-school venue and non-impersonation type of tribute may not be for everybody.

In this age of DJs, how wonderful to see this live show of talented singers all paying tribute to the chairman of the board. A great value, magical moments and a fabulous trip down memory lane with singers who seem to appreciate the opportunity.

So my partner and I went to Vegas for a business trip and thought we'd catch the show "Shades of Sinatra". Since I have a musical theatre background I thought it'd be interesting to see...and who doesn't love Frank Sinatra music? I've seen almost every Cirque and Broadway show in Vegas.
Well I have to say that I was BLOWN AWAY by this show! The vocals, arrangements and cast were all amazing! Lisa Smith is one of the best female voices I've ever heard, and the chemistry between the cast memebers is superb. It was so refreshing to see a show where vocal talent is put to full use, and trust me...these 4 people have the talent.
This show is a MUST SEE for anyone who appreciates quality entertainment. Do yourself a favor and see it. It's one of those "Not To Be Missed" shows!!!

This show is about a mile from the Fashion Mall, and the Wolf Theatre where it is performed is in the Clarion Casino/Hotel (a place which has seen better days).
You can get tickets for under $30, and the intimate small auditorium gives you a great view of the four singers (3 Sinatras and a lady singer).
It's not a long show, lasting around 85 minutes, but the cast play it with infectious enthusiasm which transmits to the audience.
Inevitably, there are songs you wish had been included, but the songs do come thick and fast.
We loved it, and if you like Sinatra, you'll like this presentation.

I saw the show with my husband and 14 year old granddaughter and we all loved it. I couldn't stop from swaying back and forth to the music. I thought Frank Sinatra would certainly be proud of the show they put together in his honor. The singing was really good and the show was very entertaining. They didn't go over the top with gimmicks and didn't need to. I would definitely recommend this show to others. Lynn W.

We took our parents to the show and we all loved it. It's a great tribute to old blue eyes. The singers really brought you back in time. The next thing I knew me and my dad were singing along with the performers. This is definitely a show worth seeing while in Vegas. We had dinner before the show at Clarion's restaurant. The food was very good and reasonably priced. Go see the show.
