Comedy Cellar

My husband and I enjoyed the comedy line-up when we visited. The drinks were fairly affordable (compared to drinks along the Strip) and service was great, too. It was definitely a neat experience to have in Vegas. 🎙️

Loved our experience at the Comedy Cellar! Clean room, friendly service and the comedians were hilarious. Drinks were expensive but tasted good. Definitely recommend based on our experience!

We had a fun time! It's an intimate enough venue but still plenty of room for a solid audience for the comedians. The MC was funny and able to riff when one of the comedians was late, and the four comedians we saw were all funny in their own unique ways. We liked the 15ish minute sets (not too long or short for budding sets). The bar staff is fantastic, too, and the location is pretty good - especially if you want to get some Rio casino floor time in before or after your comedy show.

We had a great time at the Comedy Cellar. We liked 2 of the 4 comedians, but that was OK, as not everyone's sense of humor is for everyone else. Our favorite was Chloe Hilliard. She was fantastic! We laughed so hard. The drinks were a decent price considering we were at an event. And the best part is that there was no drink minimum. The Rio (where the Comedy Cellar is located) is upsetting because nobody was in the casino! I don't know how they are making ends meet. I mean it was practically deserted. But again, the Comedy Cellar was fun.

A very fun night out. The venue is excellent and has good spacing between tables. The comedians we saw were all very funny and all three of us in our party enjoyed the night thoroughly. It’s very nice that they do not have a two drink minimum. Definitely looking forward to going again.

Would NOT accommodate any requests. No appetizers, well....just junk food; chemicals that I won't put in my body, just read the ingredients! I would NOT recommend this show!! Worst experience EVER at a comedy club and I've been to several!! I left before the show started and didn't even stay for the show. The more I think about how the (4) of us were treated, the more furious I get! For the money you pay, a tiny bit of respect should be given, especially when tips are involved. We ask to be moved to a seat in the back, what we actually reserved online....the answer we received, "I'm just the 'seatter', that's just what I do......I'm sure you looked online at the old seating chart". (then update it!!) There were PLENTY of empty/available seats in the back, which is what we requested to be moved to and they wouldn't let us. Had to ask 3 times for a drink (water) from the 'Junk food Bar'. Just take my advice and SAVE YOUR MONEY and go to a different show or go out for a nice meal.....I'm sure you'll have a better experience and definitely better food! Were we offered any kind of refund or reimbursement?.....NOPE! I sat in the 'Junk Food Bar' area before leaving and listened to the waitresses talk shit about the customers.....I don't think that's how it's supposed to work, but I could be wrong.

What a great time we had at the Comedy Cellar! It was amazing to be in a space where so many comedians made their mark in the world first doing stand up before becoming famous, and then many returned back as a truly successful Comedians as we could see from numerous autographed photos lining the walls as you arrive in the bar area Our particular show was a smaller sized crowd, so it was very intimate and interactive, which was very funny and fun for everyone present We were able to see a former, SNL comedian and some mixed local and perhaps countrywide comedians. Thanks again for a super fun time! The Canadians Dec 2025

The Comedy Club at the Rio was funny from start to finish. Four comedians all had great material and kept the crowd laughing. The beer was cold, the crowd was into it, and the vibe was perfect. Great show, great time, and I’ll definitely be back. Five stars.

It's not just the first west coast outpost of famed Comedy Cellar -- it's the first location anywhere outside of NYC. Opened nearly seven years ago, the Vegas outpost has done a remarkable job matching the vibe of the West Village original. It looks nearly identical, but with some welcome upgrades: better acoustics, improved ventilation, and significantly more seating(#1). Instead of squeezing down a narrow basement staircase, one can take a relaxed stroll through The Rio's convention space and casino to get there. Upon entrance, folks familiar with the iconic NYC version will take delight in the brick walls, stained-glass signage, low ceilings, celebrity photo frames, and the cozy, underground feel. The lineup rotates regularly, but there's almost always a crowd forming prior to every show. Every performance features five headliner-level comics, and the quality is consistently solid--withthe occasional surprise guest appearance. There is a laugh focused, no-heckling policy, and phone use or talking during sets is strictly prohibited. Security does a decent job of enforcing this, thought it didn't entirely stop some audience chatter during my visit (#2). Service was efficient and not extremely pushy about enforcing any kind of a drink minimum. Drinks were understandably expensive, but I sipped my $8 bottle of Dasani like it was the last one on the planet. The $15 margarita was small'ish in which one would have to order a good amount to feel anything. (#3) The tickets are reasonably priced, typically ranging from $25 to $45 depending on the night. It's an adults-only venue and parking at the Rio is free. I feel the addition of the Comedy Cellar has injected new energy intot his off-Strip property and I can't wait to come back again. _____________ (#1) 300 seat capacity to be exact. That's awesome. (#2) The same kind of folks who will talk in a movie theater during a pivotal moment in the film. (#3) Perhaps that was the point all along.

Great show last night, especially Kathleen Dunbar! She was awesome. I think the scheduled lineup is mostly the same the rest of this week. Certainly worth catching a show!

Shoutout to my server Princess (i think that was her name). I ended up losing my debit card and she helped me try to find it - she has awesome service as is but I really appreciated her help in trying to find it! It was unfortunately lost to the void but thanks girl! I really appreciate the effort! This place is fun and the comedians they had tonight were great. Thanks Comedy Cellar Las Vegas!

What a great unique date night idea. Talent can always be hit or miss but we were lucky enough to share some tear inducing laughs the night we went. Our only gripe would have been the rundown Rio hotel the cellar is located in but the comics made up for it by clowning the hotel's decor.

Literally one of the best comedy shows I've been to in Vegas. All of the comedians were HILARIOUS like on a continuum. There was no downtime between jokes. Went on a Sunday night and was honestly surprised how packed the audience was on a Sunday. Ambiance is a small quaint theater, with dim lighting and very cozy seating placements.

What a fun place Great facility Wonderful staff - so helpful! Service was outstanding! Absolutely love the interior Plenty of spacious seating March 22 2025 FANTASTIC line up Jimmy McMurrin - outstanding host Traci Skene - hilarious Peter Revello - so funny Marsha Warfield - what a classic John Joseph - tremendously talented

But again, the Comedy Cellar was fun.

Incredible value for great comedy. In a town full of entertainment, the laughs/minute offered by the comedians here is amazing. There was a special Yelp offer posted in the page that bumped our seats to a better tier - that was super great. Love the cozy vibe here, classic comedy show venue and feels super intimate!

Located in the Rio, the Comedy Cellar is a great venue & great show! SO funny! Reasonable ticket prices and good service! For food, check out the many restaurants at the Rio!

We had a great time at the Comedy Cellar in Las Vegas! The lineup was solid, with a mix of hilarious comedians that kept the energy high all night with Trixx stealing the show at the end. It's located at the Rio and the intimate setting really made the experience feel personal, and the staff was friendly and efficient Althoughthe tickets were affordable, the drinks were a bit on the pricier side, but hey it's Vegas, so it's expected. Overall, a fun ending to a great night out that was filled with laughter. Given the price and overall experience, we'll definitely be back!

Funny! Funny! Funny!! Oh man, oh man, what a great time! A group of my friends and I went to see a comedy show as a part of a bachelor's party event one night, and we paid for the VIP seats, which got us squarely up front, just inches away from the stage. This, of course, meant we got jokes cracked on us pretty much by each comedian that went on stage. And it was awesome!! Haha. Totally worth it!!! All of the comedians were great, but our favorite was a guy named Trixx. He had us dying! The staff were really good too. They helped up in several ways. The place was packed! Honestly, my group and I said this place is probably the only reason the Rio is even still open! (Sorry Rio lol) Amazing show, and I highly recommend!

By far one of my favorite experiences while in Vegas. We paid for VIP seating, and the table service was awesome. I laughed the entire time. 10/10 recommend!

I had such a good time at the Comedy Cellar at the Rio. The whole vibe is super laid back and the comics were actually hilarious -- like nonstop laughing the entire show. The staff kept everything moving smoothly, and the service was quick without being pushy. The room is the perfect size too, so it feels intimate without being cramped. Definitely worth checking out if you want a fun night out in Vegas. I'd go back again for sure.

Vegas local and go often. This weeks lineup seemed more like an amateur hour. The opener is the same guy every week who tells the same jokes. The supposed "headliner" just talked liberal politics his entire act and was out of line for demonizing and saying he has "no respect" for the men and women of ICE. I went to laugh and not get a warped liberals political report from someone who obviously doesnt know much and wasnt funny. Wont be back.

Good lineup. Bar was very plain and doesn't have any food but expensive packaged snacks. Eat before you go inside

Came here since we have family in town that wanted to watch a show or something. Located in the Rio, we had a table of 5. Waitress took forever to come around to take our drink orders so we ended up going to the bar. The 5 we had the second one was the funniest and the rest was meh. They have snacks you can purchase as well.

If you ever take a trip to Vegas, bookmark this place and get tickets to a show. Of course there are always different acts every time but it seems like they always book really funny people. It is located at the Rio hotel and the place itself looks much older and semi run down but it's actually really nice and not too big. They have a bar before you go in so you can grab a drink or two. We sat vip so we were right in front of the stage. I'm always scared to sit in front because of getting in the spotlight. I had to use the bathroom so when I came back, I sure did get put in a joke lol! It was super funny and I had a ball. There were 4 acts and even the host was hilarious. It was Mark Cohen from Comedy Central and he was amazing. You won't be disappointed if you go.

Discount if you stay at Rio. 2 items purchase required per person, including snacks. (wine - $15, a bottle of water - $6, M&M - $5, soda - $4,) Don't buy ticket through Ticketmaster, the fees will double the cost. Go straight to the Box Office! The lineups are great!

The staff was very fun and welcoming. The location is in the Rio hotel and the parking is valet, free and super fast. The waitress came to us right away. The drinks are ridiculously expensive but what do you expect?? The show had five comics the host was great. The second comic was good the next one was great, the fourth and fifth were meh. It's always different though so you get what you get. We would definitely go again.

We LOVE it here we have seen so many famous people cracking jokes it's beyond comprehension!!! Get in here !

Seats were good. Show was good. For the price that they charge for a drink, they should be served in a real glass. There's nothing worse than drinking wine out of a plastic cup!

This place was one of the few bright spots in the run-down Rio Hotel and Casino. We love watching live comedy and enjoyed the comics here. We bought tickets a day before and had the VIP section, so we were close to the stage. It didn't get overly crowded for the early show so maybe we didn't need VIP, but it's good to know you're not way in the back. Some clubs have an odd layout which makes it hard to see. This was good. They do have a bar and prices were a bit high, but it's Vegas. At least they were a decent size though. I'd go here again for live comedy.

We wound up at the comedy cellar after our Ed Sheeran concert was cancelled, and we were so glad we could turn our disappointment into copious amounts of laughter!! I can't recommend this place enough, and we'll definitely go back next time we're in Vegas!

They say the best medicine is laughter. My sommelier friends would argue it's actually wine. And if you ask Snoop Dog, his cloud of smoke will tell you his thoughts on the subject. But before we dive into who's actually right, I've got 3 questions... 1) Who exactly are "They"? 2) Are my sommelier friends onto something or did they just have one glass too many?? 3) And Snoop, you always seem like such a chill dude, so I gotta ask...what's in that pipe? Lol And since I don't smoke, toke or vape... And I only drink socially... I'm going with Laughter is indeed the worlds best medicine! ----------------------------------------- Warning!!! Warning!!! Warning!!! Alright people, You've been Warned! Let's establish some ground rules. 1) Comedy is funny. 2) Some jokes may come across as crude. 3) Some jokes may come across as dark. 3) Do not take it personal if you get singled out in the audience. 4) Comedy is SUPPOSED to be fun (see rule #1) 5) Grab a drink, smoke something before the show, sit back, relax and be prepared to laugh your ass off! Our experience at the Comedy Cellar was an absolute blast and I highly (I'm talkin' Snoop Dogg High) recommend you add this to your agenda the next time you roll through Vegas. If you bring kids to Vegas like we did this last trip... Do like we did. Say Grandma, we goin' out, pizzas is on its way, Don't. Wait. Up. The night we went, we saw approximately 4 opening acts, then the Main act was Michael Yo! Each Comedian did their thang, and I was in stitches from start to finish. The venue is pretty small (which is a GOOD thing), so there is no such thing as a bad seat in the house. (Well unless you sit right in front of the stage, you're ass is definitely getting picked on) See Rule #3 & #4 At the end of the nigh we went, Michael Yo did a complimentary photo op with whomever wanted to snap a quick shot and was also selling his T-shirts with his logo. (The mans gotta pay bills somehow). It was the perfect end to our evening to be able to shake hands with the man who made me piss my pants. (Just kidding, maybe, not really). Haha In this day and age, more than Ever... We need to learn to laugh. Whether at ourselves or at others (in a positive light), We have to be able to except each other's differences, coexist and just not take things so serious all the time. Comedy helps us do this because after all... Laughter is the Best Medicine!

We came for a show and had a great time, all of the comedians on the night we came were great! Although we liked everyone's act, the highlight was definitely seeing Marsha Warfield who made a surprise appearance. Growing up watching her on Night Court, it was very cool to see her stand up act! Would definitely come back.

The Comedy Cellar is located in the Rio. If you're staying on the strip, it's a ~$15 Uber ride each way. There's a bouncer at the entrance and they use a metal detector wand. Not sure if that made me feel more or less safe. Once you can get past all that, the comedians here are amazing! Dustin Ybarra made the trip worth it. He was so impressive that the next day, I looked him up on YouTube and watched all of his stand up. It was funny the second (and third!) time around!

Good time and will be back. The night's host comedian, Tracy Skene, opened by chiding a group of cement conference attendees: She was Winging it, lightning speed, had the whole room busting up. Immediately followed by 4 other comics ( no waiting for the next appearance). The other 2 highlights were Matt Kirshin and Dustin Ybarra. Check out his youtube videos. All The seats have good sightlines. Negatives:- Drinks are on the weak side and they have a limited choice of cocktails. They did not know what a Zombie or a Saturn was. - Even in cold November, the AC is on, so bring a light jacket.

Hi, the jokes were stale and uncalled for, I wouldn't recommend, infact I feel the pricing was unreasonable, 45$ a ticket? I think not! All in all would not come back.

Bravo! From the time you enter- the gentlemen at the front door are just that followed by a courteous lady showing you to a seat, if you buy the VIP tickets - which puts you in the front/second row. The VIP tickets are necessary and worth it if you want to be more involved in the show because the front row, is literally 2feet from where the comedian is standing. This also means you are fair game for becoming part of their comedic/playing schtick.. The atmosphere greatly carries it's responsibility to the show's success with it's blacked walls aiding in the visceral experience of the club's name ... "Comedy CELLAR" - no outside drinks but did allow our bottled water. Hilarious! You won't be disappointed. (No pics allowed and I was respectful of that)

We have an enjoyable time at the comedy celler. There were a few comedian & also get to see one of my favourite comedian, Michael Yo performed. Got a tshirt to support his "pandas".

Very small club so don't be worried about getting a "good seat". Honestly, they're all good. If you're up front (first two rows) you're literally at the comedians "roast row" and they don't hold back. If you prefer to not get picked on or called all...opt for a seat further back. It's a great spot, super fun time. Check it out! You'll enjoy it!

Went to a couple comedy clubs in one night! This place stands out, from the ambience to level the comedians. All top notch. The bar service was great with strong drinks! One of best spots Iv ever been too

We have always loved this comedy show however there were 5 of us attending Saturday night. We were approached by an employee and told that my daughter was laughing too loud and it was distracting. We waited for her to come back from the bathroom and decided to leave. My husband approached the manager on the way out but he would not discuss what we had happened. Very strange but we won't be going back!

Bad service Waited 1 hr and this fool still got mad at us and brought us ar bill kicking us out place was empty Raza treatment was bad don't go there

Great facility. Outstanding /hilarious comedians. Bring back the food service.Need more waitresses. And the three (2 white male/female) and (one African American male) senior citizen doormen/security need customer service training. Stop treating customers like convicted criminals.

This was the greatest experience. The Comedy Cellar was a classy spot to have some fun with adults wanting to laugh their butts off. Great venue for entertainment and drinks.

The hotel itself? Unimpressive. The venue? Nothing fancy. No fancy cocktails. Just tables and ready to roll on the floor comedy. Our server was attentive, the drinks weren't outrageous for Vegas standards and the comedians were hands down the funniest I've ever seen. Michael Yo was the main one, but the three before him were all hilarious. My ribs hurt the next day. For the price and the level of comedy in this literal cellar you can't beat it. I will absolutely be looking for additional shows next time we're in Vegas.

Great time here + super cheap tickets! 3/4 acts were outstanding. Save your money, avoid the strip comedy clubs,

The comedians were very funny and not nasty and super inappropriate. Mostly clean humor

This place deserves to be on the strip. We did get a Groupon deal to go see a show on Saturday. We had 5 fantastic comics and the Friend's Mattress King (IYKYK), as our MC. There's no drink/food minimum at this club, but there's no food. Definitely worth checking out! There are NO SHUTTLES between Rio and the strip. So you're either walking (which is doable on Flamingo Ave. there are sidewalks and a little over a mile), public transportation or taxi/Uber/Lyft.

So some of my cousins came into town and got tickets to the Comedy Cellar. First, I'd like to say that parking in the parking structure is the best bet. Parked, took the elevator and walked very directly to the club. It is very dark and intimate in a cool way but if you have claustrophobia issues...beware.=) The MC was awesome and drinks were freely flowing before and during, so I do not remember the names of the comedians but I did get to HIghFive the Lady that was crazy funny. There were 4 acts and 3 were absolutely freaking hilarious. There's no bad seat in the house, either. We had a blast; i'll definietly be going again. And just a suggestion, excuse if they already exist, but maybe provide a QR code for the comedians or a leaflet that tells you who they are AFTER you've sobered and want to follow them.

Double date with our friends. Got to the venue at 9:15 and they were just starting to let people in (9:30 show). The person directing regular and vip admission lines and checking bags and purses was really fun. He taught us a couple words in Japanese too. As we entered the VIP line, there was a gentleman with a metal detector wand checking everyone. He was a nice guy. Passed the restrooms and to the bar area that had a pretty decent line. The lady seating people let us know that it was going to be a pretty full house so if we took our seats now, we could get a good view and the waitress could get our drinks (that's for the good advise). Took our seats and ordered a round of bottle waters and a coupon drinks. Waitress was pretty fast considering how many tables there were. We got to see 4 comedians and 3 were very very funny but one wasn't really my cup of tea but he got the room laughing a bit so all good there. The show lasted 2 hours and our tickets in the middle section only cost about $40/person with taxes and fees. Took one star away because I would have liked to have ordered a second drink and also how uncomfortably hard the seats were. My butt was hurting by the end of the show. Lol. I would still come back in the future and recommend.

It would have been a 5-star review if not for the mask nazi who ruined the show for me with his "mall cop syndrome." I wear masks all the time, even when not required if it makes others feel more comfortable. I believe in science. I'm vaccinated. I'm basically a bleeding heart liberal, but the dude at comedy cellar went way overboard. Apparently I need to "drink faster" so my mask can be pulled up faster. Initially I assumed the bad reviews were from crazy people, but no. I had VIP tickets and was in the front row, so maybe I was made an example of... it made me so self-conscious every time I took a sip. I'm a rule abiding person, which is why the experience was awful. That said, the comedians were very funny and the bartender was great!

Loved our experience here! Great cheap tickets and you get to see some amazing comedians. We went for a 7pm show and saw 4 comedians. The whole thing lasted about 2 hours. They have a bar inside where you can grab drinks to bring in with you. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a good laugh for a night out.

Small venue but very good intimate setting. Beautifully done with the sign the same as the New York one. We enjoyed a great evening of laughter on a weekday and it was busy yet not completely full. The later show at 9pm is more popular I've heard. A beer from tap is $8.77

The website for the show said like "enjoy comedy and dinner," but when we got there there were no menu options for food or even snacks. By the end of the show we had drank too much and were starving. If there was a disclaimer I missed it but I checked out the site pretty thoroughly. The one comedian let some idiot audience member derail him which was annoying. I wanted to hear his set, not him make fun of her. And full disclosure the security are mask police -someone in the front row had a drink but was not actively drinking it and she was told to put her mask up -she had a drink!!

So fun! We have been twice and we love it so much. Great shows and super funny comedians. We love the ability to watch comedians we haven't heard of before and some that we have. Definitely will go everytime we go to Vegas

Great time at the second showing of comedy. All 4 comedians had the entire audience entertained. Loved ever minute of the show that even went over the normal 1.5 hour show. Food plates were good, the wings are the best bang for your buck if you are looking to get full. Drinks were a tad expensive but tasted pretty darn good. Three plates, 4 drinks cost us $115, not too bad. Will be back for more comedians in the future.

I'm from New York, we have a Comedy Cellar, as well; however, it's rather difficult to secure tickets. I decided to venture here for some laughs and I wasn't shortchanged. Prior to wntry, you get a quick pep talk about no photography or talking during the show. Also, they have a strict mask policy (which I applaud). They want you to sip your drink and immediately put your mask back on. I know this ruffles some peoples feathers, but I'm glad they are doing their part. As for the show itself, it was the Emcee and four comedians. I only knew the last person, Dean Edwards. All the comedians were good; I felt the show got better as it went along. The two women comedians were good (Amy Jones and Jasmine Comedian, I believe here name was). They both gots lots of laughs and people enjoyed. When Dean came on, there was a drunk woman in the crowd that began to cause a commotion. She kept having these excited utterances, which he went with the flow, but it became annoying. She stopped for awhile and then it picked up toward the end of his seat. After the show, security informed me, they actually wanted to forcibly remove her but the producers in his ear asked them to hold off. Dean was a good sport, but she did cause a disruption. Nonetheless, I throughly enjoyed myself here. One minor setback would be they don't have servers and you actually need to go on a long line to get drinks, but other than that, it's a wonderful show.
