LIOZ: Comedy Magic Uncensored at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino

LIOZ turns the polished magician’s act upside down, mixing absurd illusions with broad comedy and parody. Expect less traditional prestidigitation and more of a fast, cheeky stage show that asks you to laugh at the magic as much as admire it.

I like the convenient 75-minute running time, which fits neatly into a Las Vegas evening, and the choice of rear, reserved, or VIP table seating. The main caution is simple: if you want serious, technically focused magic, the heavy dose of slapstick may not suit you.

Key points to know before you book

• LIOZ spoofs famous magicians with a comedy act inspired by performers such as David Copperfield, mixed with an outrageous comic persona.
• The show runs about 1 hour and 15 minutes, making it easy to fit before or after dinner.
• Seating choices affect the price and experience, with rear, reserved, and VIP table options available.
• The V Theater is inside Planet Hollywood, beside the Miracle Mile Shops for easy dining and shopping before or after the performance.
• The style is adult comedy and parody, not a quiet, formal magic recital.
• Advance booking makes sense, since the show is often reserved about 30 days ahead and entry is tied to your selected ticket category.

A comedy magic show with a clear point of view

LIOZ is not trying to present magic as solemn theater. His act takes the familiar image of the grand illusionist and gives it a comic shake. The result is a two-part performance in one package: magic tricks provide the setup, while parody, physical humor, and quick jokes provide much of the punch.

That distinction matters when you choose a Las Vegas show. If you want elegant stagecraft, mystery, and a serious magician working in a traditional style, this may feel too silly. If you want an energetic night built around laughs, surprises, and a performer who does not take the usual magician image seriously, the format makes good sense.

LIOZ has more than two decades of performance experience and has appeared on America’s Got Talent, Britain’s Got Talent, and Australia’s Got Talent. Those appearances help explain the act’s broad, immediate style. It is designed to connect quickly, rather than build a long, quiet mood around a single illusion.

The show is also described as uncensored, so I would treat it as an adult comedy choice. The supplied material does not give a specific age minimum or list the exact type of adult humor, so anyone booking for a mixed-age group should keep that label in mind.

Inside the V Theater at Planet Hollywood

Your evening begins at the V Theater, located at 3663 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Suite 360, inside the Planet Hollywood complex. The listed start time is 8:30 pm, and you redeem your ticket at the V Theater box office.

The setting is practical for a Las Vegas night out. You are not heading to a remote venue or arranging a separate transfer. Planet Hollywood sits along the Strip, the theater is near public transportation, and the Miracle Mile Shops offer food and shopping before or after the performance.

I would arrive with enough time to find the box office, sort out your seating, and get settled without rushing. The ticket includes the show, taxes, and fees, but drinks are extra. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so you will need to make your own way to Planet Hollywood.

The two itinerary stops outside the show are not separate attractions with their own admission. V Theater is the venue, and Miracle Mile Shops are a useful nearby option for filling out the evening. There is no need to budget for a second ticket at either place.

What happens during LIOZ’s 75-minute act

Once the show begins, LIOZ presents a stream of parody magic and comic surprises. The description points to over-the-top tricks, absurd illusions, and quick-witted humor rather than a long story or a formal lecture about magic.

The central appeal is the contrast between the impressive look of a magic act and the deliberately ridiculous way LIOZ handles it. You may recognize the style of famous illusionists, but the presentation is pushed into comic territory. The act has been compared in spirit to a combination of David Copperfield and Borat, which gives you a useful sense of the tone: familiar show-business magic filtered through an exaggerated, mischievous character.

The show also aims to keep the audience involved. The available information describes a high-energy performance that holds attention from beginning to end. That does not mean every moment is a major illusion. One published reaction made clear that the balance can lean heavily toward slapstick comedy, with only a few tricks for someone expecting a pure magic program.

That is the key trade-off. The magic is part of the joke, not always the entire point. A simple trick, such as a blank magazine changing from black drawings to colored pictures, may be used as a comic device rather than presented as a serious demonstration of technical skill.

If you enjoy physical comedy, parody, and a performer who plays with audience expectations, that approach should work well. If you judge a magic show mainly by the number and difficulty of its tricks, you may find the comedy takes up too much room.

Choosing between rear, reserved, and VIP table seats

The ticket categories give you a useful way to control the cost. The listed starting price is $34.99 per person, with the final amount depending on the category you select. All taxes and fees are included, which makes the price easier to compare with other evening entertainment.

Rear seating is the budget choice. It should appeal to you if you mainly want the full comedy performance without paying for a closer or more special position. Reserved seating offers more certainty about where you will sit, which can be worth the extra cost when you are planning a timed dinner or another show afterward.

VIP table seats are the upgrade. The information provided does not specify table location, food, drink, or any added meeting benefit, so do not assume the upgrade includes refreshments. Beverages are available for purchase, but they are not part of the ticket.

For value, I would think about how much you care about seating before paying more. Since the show lasts about 75 minutes, the difference between categories is tied mostly to comfort and position, not to a longer performance or extra activity. The budget ticket may be enough for a casual night, while reserved or VIP seating suits a celebration or a tightly planned evening when you want fewer uncertainties.

Why the 8:30 pm timing works well

An 8:30 pm start gives you room to make the show part of a larger Planet Hollywood outing. You can shop at Miracle Mile Shops first, eat nearby, and then head to the theater. You can also plan the performance as the main event and use the shopping area afterward.

The show’s length is one of its strongest practical features. At roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes, it does not take over the whole night. That makes it useful if you want to see a shorter production between dinner and another Strip plan.

Still, you should watch your schedule. The performance starts at a fixed time, and late arrivals can be stressful at any ticketed theater. The box office is the ticket redemption point, so allow time to reach the right suite inside the large Planet Hollywood property.

Because hotel transportation is not included, check your route before leaving your hotel. The venue is near public transportation, but no specific route or parking details are supplied. I would not treat the $34.99 price as your full evening budget. Add your transportation, any meal, and drinks you buy inside the complex.

Miracle Mile Shops before or after the show

Miracle Mile Shops add flexibility rather than another formal part of the ticket. The shopping area at Planet Hollywood gives you a convenient place to eat or browse without crossing the Strip to find a second neighborhood.

Before the performance, it can help you avoid arriving too early with nowhere to go. Afterward, it gives you an easy option for a drink, dessert, or more shopping, subject to individual business hours and availability. The supplied details do not name specific restaurants or shops, so plan to choose on the spot.

This nearby option is especially useful for a group with mixed interests. Someone who is not eager to spend the entire evening on magic can enjoy the surrounding shopping and dining before or after the show. You still need to remember that the show itself is the only included admission.

Value at $34.99 per person

At $34.99, LIOZ sits in the accessible range for Las Vegas ticketed entertainment. The value comes from combining a live magic act and a comedy show in one 75-minute performance, with no separate fee for taxes and charges.

I would consider it good value if you want a light, easy evening rather than a major production lasting several hours. The ticket gives you a fixed activity with a clear start and end, and the location makes it simple to pair with food or shopping.

The value is less certain if you are buying specifically for serious magic. One very negative response focused on the small number of tricks and the large amount of slapstick. That criticism points to the most important booking question: are you paying for magic first, or for comedy magic?

The strongest praise centers on the laughter and the performer’s ability to keep the room engaged. One published response described the act as fun from beginning to end and another called it a memorable adult night. Those reactions fit the show’s stated purpose. The current rating is 4.6 from 82 ratings, and 90 percent of customers recommend it, but the split in reactions shows why expectations matter.

Who will enjoy LIOZ most

I would recommend this show to you if you like:

• Comedy that is broad, physical, and a little outrageous
• Magic presented as parody rather than formal mystery
• A short evening activity near dining and shopping
• Las Vegas entertainment with a playful adult tone
• Shows that keep the pace moving and do not require a large time commitment
• A choice of seating levels, from budget to VIP

I would be more cautious if you prefer quiet theater, refined illusion work, or a show built around a large number of difficult tricks. The comedy is not a side note. It is central to the act, and the performance may use a simple trick as the launch point for a joke.

Most people can take part, and service animals are allowed. No special fitness requirement is given. The provider also notes that the experience requires good weather. Since the theater is indoors, that condition is worth checking if your date has poor weather in the forecast. If the performance is canceled for that reason, you are offered another date or a full refund.

Booking advice and cancellation terms

The show is booked about 30 days ahead on average, so I would reserve early if your Las Vegas dates are fixed or you want a particular seating category. Early booking also reduces the risk of rearranging dinner or other plans around a performance that has sold out.

Confirmation is provided when you book. You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours before the 8:30 pm start are not accepted for a refund, and the cut-off uses local Las Vegas time.

That policy is fairly flexible for a scheduled show, but it does not reward last-minute changes. I would wait until your evening plans are reasonably firm before buying VIP seating or booking the show as part of a larger celebration.

Should you book LIOZ at Planet Hollywood?

Book LIOZ if you want a lively, funny, compact Las Vegas show and you are happy for comedy to share equal billing with magic. The location is convenient, the 75-minute length is easy to fit into a Strip itinerary, and the $34.99 starting price gives you a low-cost way to add live entertainment to your night.

Choose carefully if your idea of magic means polished illusions with very little clowning. The act can lean toward slapstick, and that is exactly what one unhappy customer disliked. For everyone else, the best approach is to treat LIOZ as comedy theater built around magic, not as a traditional magician’s recital.
