Katt Deserved Better Than This Venue
by SeatlessButStylish on 6/24/25Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino - MescaleroRating: 1 out of 5Let me start with this: I LOVE Katt Williams. The man is a legend. And Lil Mo opened, and he brought Melanie Camacho and Mark Curry along with a few others?! Excellent lineup for true fans of comedy! My husband and I were excited, made a weekend of it—booked a $300 hotel, drove out, grabbed our $112 tickets (each), and came to represent for the night.
But what we didn’t plan for?
• A 40-minute admission line wrapped around the building with zero communication
• Staff in pink shirts just hanging out, not helping
• Learning on arrival that our “seats” were really just spots on the grass
• Walking across loose rocks, downhill terrain, and unlit gravel paths—in heels
• No chair rentals, no blanket options, no heads-up—nothing
And let’s not forget the ambiance:
✨ Mosquitoes
✨ Yellowjackets
✨ A confused crowd being shuffled mid-set by disinterested staff
✨ Security informing people AFTER the fact they can't record or smoke - signs do a wonderful job BEFORE you get inside the venue
By the time we found somewhere to perch (a.k.a. the back hill), the opener had come and gone. We caught maybe five minutes of Katt before the frustration set in.
For over $700 total spent (tickets, hotel, gas, food), we got:
✔ A strong margarita (Thanks Latoya)
❌ No seat
❌ No view
❌ No preparation
❌ And absolutely no joy
Katt, you were amazing for the few minutes I could see you. But the venue?
Inn of the Mountain Gods—y’all ought to be ashamed of yourselves and owe patrons a real experience.
✅ Be upfront about your seating arrangements
✅ Stop “assigning” seat numbers if y’all know it’s grass you're assigning out
✅ Take notes from other NM casinos that know how to run events
✅ Offer chair rentals so the line isn’t dragging due to security checking every single one
🚫 Ladies—don’t even think about heels unless you want a sprained ankle
💸 And those $600–$800 hotel rooms? For what, exactly? Oh right—the view. That’s all you’ve got to be proud of.
