I've seen most of the big shows on the strip and many of the smaller ones so I use that as a baseline for entertainment value without naming specific shows. I was looking for something new to see when I found Inferno.
The star indicated this was the 119th show (if I remember correctly), so I'm guessing Inferno is a fairly new show on the strip. I thought I was getting the fourth row by the ticketmaster map, but turned out it was the front. I was row 1 (CC) and center, right where the stage juts out. I would not recommend this row. Not because of the heat which I expected much more of, but somewhat embarrassingly the star gets a couple feet away and spits quite a bit while he's talking - the splash zone so to speak.
As far as the show itself goes, it was poorly attended for a Friday night, that didn't bother me as it was a new show. The show was heavily set to a magic performance, which I didn't expect. The magic was pretty good though, just not extremely compelling or impressive save a couple of bits. I did expect more fire acrobatics than they had. The part they did have was good, just not enough of it. The main performing lady doing the fire acrobatics was impressively good! Give us more of her!!!
The little comedy bits were good, but no gut-busters. I could use less of "Animal". This is mostly a family friendly show - I had my 3 teenage kids along - save one small bit with "Animal" (but even that may pass some kids by, nothing blatantly "adult" in the show compared to just TV these days). His performance was ok but just didn't seem to click for me.
In the end, I give 3 stars, as did the rest of my family: I think the show has maturing to do at this stage. It isn't bad by any means, just seemed to be missing something that would really give it punch! I'd like to see much more fire, explosions, and acrobatics and a little less magic. I want to feel the heat!!!
