There are actually two parts to Cleopatra's Barge. There is the bar area and stage area. We had a few drinks there before going in to see Wayne Newton. The bar is very nice and Anna at the bar was awesome. She is super nice and made some fantastic drinks. The stage area of Cleopatra's Barge is very intimate. I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. Wayne Newton put on a wonderful show. It was over two hours long and he didn't slow down once. I work for Homeland Security at McCarran International Airport and have met Wayne Newton and his family several times. Once at the opening of the USO and then a couple of times as he was flying out. I tell you he is the most wonderful and friendly person I have ever met as is his wife. They always take time to say hello to everyone and thank the TSA screeners for all they do to keep the flying public safe. His Up Close and Personal show was amazing. He is such a amazing entertainer. I had no idea he played so many instruments and performed with a huge range of entertainers. I recommend this show to everyone.
We went to watch one of my pastime favorite live bands, David Perrico's pop strings orchestra. He does not disappoint. Every time I've seen them, they put on a show that is worthy of international recognition. So full of life and excitement. The crowd was lit up and the energy transfer between the band and crowd is so thick you can almost reach out and touch it. The familiar music of the golden oldies and 60s, 70s and 80s makes it so fun, then they hit you with current hits. Groovy, rad, and stellar all in one. The drinks were perfect. Not too strong but left me with a nice smooth buzz throughout the night. Oh, did I say that it's free?! Yeah...no cover, but seating is limited which is fine with me. The layout of this club is fun with its barge cutting right through the bar. i.e. includes a moat around the barge. Cool Great show and great venue.
I saw a Dionne Warwick here last night and what an absolute great show not only does she have her son as the drummer but her granddaughter also came out on the stage and sing it was a great intimate show very nice seats she looked at me in the eye and blew me a kiss because that's what friends are for I highly recommend going to see any show in Cleopatra's barge because the place is a great Vin remember they make you drink drinks before the show because the performers do not want waiters and waitresses walking around doing their show other than that this place is outstanding Caesar's Palace you did it again
The space can be loud...when a major presence is appearing, it's a combination between vibe and performance...been here several times...most recently for "Wayne Newton: up close and personal"...wonderful show!
Yes, this place is amazing, especially on nights with the orchestra. Also saw Pop 40 and loved it. Amazing venue, great seats everywhere. Fast service and good drinks. We spent four hours here on a Friday night first seeing Pop 40, then the orchestra. Incredible talented people on stage.
I was lucky and had an awesome time here. When I showed up a little after midnight the dance floor had just a few people - about half guys half girls, with a mix in age. I danced by myself for a while and when more people showed up ended up finding a few fun partners to dance with. It was very casual, lots of seating, just-slightly-expensive drinks. Good place to drop by without planning.
We just saw the Cocktail Cabaret show last night and it was wonderful! Great singers and musicians in an intimate setting. The time, 5pm allowed for other activities afterwards. My husband and I will definitely go again!
I have performed in numerous lounges on "the circuit" in Las Vegas and am very savvy to the quality of bands and venues. All that having been said, Cleopatra's Barge has been a steady source of great live entertainment every time I've visited, at least 5/6 times. Rarely having a cover charge makes this venue not only great for hotel guests, but locals and other happy hotel wanderers as well. Caution, they do press for drinks, with an "unspoken but reinforced" two drink minimum... and they aren't cheap. My date and I paid $19 each, for a simple glass of Rose and a Jack and Coke totalling $45 for two drinks including tip. It is after all, Caesars Palace. Take it in stride since the quality of the music is always solid, with again, typically no cover. Solid dance venue and quality sound system. The ambiance and energy of the front women/men of the entertainers keep you active and thirsty so keep track of your wallet. If you're a baller, then just sit back and vibe off the hot energy and music, especially current radio tracks... an always impressive repertoire feature of good cover bands.
We enjoy Fri & Sat evenings 10-midnight with David Perrico's 14- piece live Pop Strings Orchestra. This is the BEST free entertainment and dance venue on the strip! The waitresses serve drinks during the show without interfering with the show. The orchestra consists of the best musicians and singers on the strip who compete to be able to play with this group in a lounge atmosphere. Most of the pop pieces feature the entire orchestra and singers but some also feature individual soloists and ensembles, including amazing original improvisation. There is nothing like this on or off the strip!
In a word, lousy. Don't get me wrong; Blues Traveler were exceptional but the venue was small and cramped. We were butt to butt with our neighbor table and they didn't stop talking through the entire show. Really ruined the experience for us. No announcement was made before the show asking patrons not to talk during the show out of respect to the artists and fellow attendees. Blues Traveler was treated like a bar band; it seemed like every table was talking over the performance and management did nothing to discourage it. Also, on national margarita day, the margaritas were undrinkable and overpriced $14.00 each. We complained to management after the show and they offered us tickets for another show but we were leaving the next day. What I really want is our money back. Who do I contact about that?
