The Dolby Theater is connected to the Park MGM casino and resort. It's a beautiful location and good size theater that holds a good amount of fans for a concert. I went to see Usher, My Way, Las Vegas Residency on 10/13/2023. It was amazing! It's definitely not for kids, but for the grown and sexy crowd!
Show started at 9am and doors opened at 8pm. They let in VIP guests and the General Admission guests earlier, then us regular concert goers! The theater had multiple lines forming around 7pm. I got in one of the lines around 7:30pm and was third in my line.
When they opened the doors a staff member scans your phone and the entrance is beautiful inside. You go through the metal detectors, safety first, and then go up escalators and have 3 magnificent chandeliers on top of you. There's 3 levels. The merch was on the second level. I bought a cool sweater for $90. I then went over to purchase my drink; a 32 oz You Call It (Margarita on the rocks) at the bar for $34, including tip.
Then I headed up to my level. We had to wait outside of our seating area until about 8:15pm before we could go in to actually sit down. I showed the staff my phone and she showed me where my seat was. My seat was a velvety teal color and it was super comfy. I was in area 403, row A, seat 24. I was at the front of the balcony so there was no one obstructing my view. Even if I was further back, the seats are stadium seating so you have a good view regardless. There was lots of leg room, which was a pleasant surprise. When other concert guests were passing in front of me I hardly had to move for them.
Usher came out around 9:45pm and it lasted until about 11:30pm. I had a pretty spectacular seat! I was flying solo for this concert, but I got lucky to purchase an excellent seat a few days ago so I figured it was meant to be! The restrooms were pretty and down the hall a bit.
Usher is more than amazing! He performed all of his hits. I sang along to pretty much every song! The vibe was hype, but it slowed down at appropriate times. The venue had 2 big screens, but as I looked around, it appeared you had a good view from anywhere. I LOvE smaller theaters like this one where I sat with 5,000+ of my closest friends to admire a fantastic star. Ushers birthday was the following day!
The standing only General Admission area wasn't too big, but the VIP section looks nice. The stage had a cool shape for the show. Usher came to the back in between the guests and was SO CLOsE below my area to sing a few songs, what?! I was not expecting that, but was super happy to see him closer. I'll definitely come back to this theater for other concerts when I'm back in Las Vegas!
