Marriage Can Be Murder Dinner Show in Las Vegas

My husband and I attended the Marriage Can Be Murder show on December 20, 2025, to celebrate his birthday, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. From the moment we checked in, we were fully immersed in the entertainment. To our delight, we were invited on stage with other guests for special photos—my husband even got to be a “pallbearer,” while I played a “band member,” which made the interactive elements of the show even more memorable. The food and service were excellent, and we laughed so hard our cheeks and stomachs hurt. The cast was absolutely outstanding. If you’re considering seeing this show, don’t hesitate—I can promise you’ll have an amazing time. We’re already planning to return when the storyline changes, as it does periodically.

Fun evening I have guessed the correct murderer in the show. The actors are actually in the crowd and act as they are people that are watching the show as well, which is interesting because you never know who it could be it could be your neighbor. The food was good. I just got a pizza because I didn't like the other food that they were serving the vegetarian food that my neighbour had looked not so good. It just look like plain pasta very basic. The salad was really cute. They put a skeleton guy on it. Look like he had arms in a head and a body. It was very cute.

If you are looking for a fulfilled night, you will definitely find it here. The show is an interactive (eat, while those around are killed off) evening. The performers do an excellent job of keeping your attention. The atmosphere is very warm and you will leave laughing for sure. We have been to show over a dozen times and make sure to plan our trip to Vegas around their show times... .

This show was so weird. My mother, sister Aunt and I went here looking for a funny show and good dinner. We felt it was a show of theatre kids that didn't make it. On top of it, the guy (DJ) that sold us the tickets to the show was an actor in the show... so when it was going on, we knew he was in on it. Then one of the emcees (Sal) came over and sat at our table for a minute and one of the other "guests" leaned her head on his shoulder and was bantering back and forth with him totally giving away that they were a part of the show as well. To top it off the food was HORRIBLE. Worse than hospital food. I got the pasta and it must've been sitting for at least 30 minutes. I wouldn't even call it sauce. SpaghettiOs would've been better. My mom, sister and Aunt got the chicken and the roast beef was super chewy. Chicken was like a TV dinner although the green beans and mashed potato's were bearable. I hate to leave poor reviews for businesses, but I just want to save the next person from spending $106 on this show. We left at the 1/2 intermission and never went back. I feel like they knew this happens often because the professional photo we took in the beginning was printed and ready for purchase for $20 at the exit along with all the other guests. We actually bought it so we could look back in a few years and just reminisce on how terrible of a decision it was to go.

This show was definitely fun. I wasn't sure what to expect as we'd never been to a dinner theatre show before. It was hilariously hokey in the best way possible. Totally over-the-top, super interactive, and had us laughing all night. Not high art, but definitely high entertainment. It doesn’t take itself too seriously—and that’s what makes it fun. Food was ok. Great for a lighthearted night out!

Worst experience in Vegas, cannot believe I paid $76 to eat (Groupon price) the food and sit through that show. If someone paid me $80 I would still not sit through that show. If you go order pizza because it is decent compared to the chicken. The blonde woman who MCed was rude not funny at all. Would rate her a -5/10.

Logan, Jo, Sal, Alexa, Vctora(lol), Eric, Max. Matthew, Edward and everyone else did a great job! My wife and I went for our 20th anniversary and we will definitely go back. Drinks were strong, food was tasty and the show kept us laughing and guessing till the end!!!!

What a complete joke! I would not recommend this to anyone. Very unorganized. They spent over an hour wasting time with asking who is married or for how long ect. We never did get our meal. After over one hour of nonsense with no show yet and no meal, we left! Complete waste of time and money! An absolutely terrible experience. Very loud. Hard to even talk to the person sitting next to you. There are many great shows in Vegas, so book one of those and do not waste your time or money on this.

I attended the live show Marriage Can Be Murder at the Orleans Hotel in Las Vegas, and it was such a fun experience! The show was really funny and made for a great interactive adult fun activity. The actors were incredibly nice, engaging with the audience throughout the performance, which made it even more enjoyable. They also played great music, adding to the lively atmosphere. The family seated at our table was a blast, and I honestly can't recall a time when I laughed for two straight hours. The drinks at the bar were strong, which was a plus, but the food was just okay. Everything was very salty, except the salad. The ice cream had nuts on top which tastes like it was saturated in salt. Couldn't really eat any of the food and we grabbed a meal after the show. Honestly, I can't wait to go back to see the show again! They change their theme periodically, so I'm excited to see what they come up with next. I will be sure to eat prior to arriving though.

Too silly & annoying for me. Food was OK. Service was good. No ambiance to speak of.

This was such a fun experience! My husband and I decided to book this experience for Valentine's Day. This was our first time booking anything like this. When we first arrived and checked in we had the options for food to choose from. We got there a bit later than other people and one of the food options was already gone so keep that in mind when deciding when to show up! There is a bar in the little waiting area and then a line to get into the venue. Right before we entered the seating area, there was a photographer taking photos that could be seen/purchased after the show. Inside the room there were various tables and chairs and you are seated with others at the tables. We had a rather interesting experience and I will say that the people you are seated with can have an effect on the experience you have. Overall, the staff and actors were wonderful and the show was very interactive! They change the show up so you can attend more than once which is nice! The food was average but there was a key lime martini on the drink menu that I loved! Im a huge fan of key lime and that was the first time I had a key lime cocktail!

It's a fun date night . The get up and mingle part had no bearing on finding the killer. The jokes were funny / cheesy with lots of audience participation. The food was a huge let down . The croutons could break a tooth and you could not eat them . The portions were small and the green beans terrible , hard. Chicken Ok beef bad . . Maybe 2 teaspoons of mashed potatoes. I would definitely choose the pizza option next time . It did look good.

Super fun! We are locals and received the tickets as a Christmas gift. We arrived at 6 and seating started at 615. This is when the salad is served and you can order your drinks. Everything was very organized and all of the staff was very friendly and fun. The show was hilarious! It was little predictable to me just cause I watch alot of datelines! Haha. None the less, still super fun. The drinks were well priced. I got a 9 0z of Chardonnay for 10.00 which I thought was a great deal. The food reminded me of something at a wedding. It was ok! The salad and the bread were very tasty and the ice cream at the end was delish. You will be seated at a table with other people, which was fine. Everyone at our table was very friendly and fun. Def recommend this show for a fun night out.

I had never been to a murder party dinner theater so I didn't know what to expect, but according to my family, this was the best one they've seen. There were three tiers of seats Regular - three course meal, non-alcoholic beverage, server gratuity VIP - everything above +a souvenir Jell-O shots syringe, + priority seating RIP - everything above + guaranteed participation in the show + commemorative photo We chose the regular tier because of the price and we had never been before so we weren't sure if we wanted to participate yet. Fortunately for us, the house wasn't packed that day (Sunday) and we ended up sitting in participation seats. I highly recommend getting participation seats. The show was a riot & everyone gets involved, so it's not embarrassing if you're a participant. The cast and crew are super super welcoming and inviting from the Host to the bartender in the front of house to all the servers and everyone on stage who pulls you in and gets you involved. Also, I've been to hundreds of restaurants in Las Vegas and the chefs 2 protein plate (we added a 3rd protein for $8) rivals some of the pricier dinner locations (think Mon Ami Gabi & Matteo's Ristorante Italiano) It had so much flavor, I was blown away. Also, the salted warm topping on the ice cream sundae made such a killer combo. If you like salted sweet things, you'll love it. The cast changes every few months so I can't guarantee you'll see the same experience we did, but I can pretty much guarantee you'll have a good time.

Had a great time! Cast was fantastic, and I enjoyed the interactive nature of the show. I wasn't sure if I would based on some of the other reviews, but I thought the food was great too!

Boring, shitty food. Kept hoping it would get better but it just made no sense. If the food was better, it wouldn't have been so bad.

The show was fun and the actors very enthusiastic. The food was not good and reminded me of cafeteria food. I didn't like that they use real guns with blanks and will aim out into the audience. I wish they'd used obvious prop guns, as that made me a bit on edge.

We decided to attend Marriage Can Be Murder diner show performance at The Venue from several recommendations. We didn't really know what to expect, but overall were pleasantly surprised. If you attend, make sure you are in the mindset to just have fun, let go, and participate! The staff and performers are friendly and enthusiatic. The performers do a great job of getting the audience to participate during the show and of course the goal is for you to solve the murder as it unravels in front of you. We really loved the impromptu humor throughout the show. The dinner selection was also good so something for everyone (choice of personal pizza, vegetarian pasta, or chicken and beef). The salad and bread comes with all dinner selections. We had the chef sampler which was beef, chicken, mashed potatoes and green beens which was good (sorry, I forgot to snap a photo). You can also order drinks from the bar at a reasonable price. Overall, we had a great experience and if you want to try something a little different and fun in Las Vegas, definately check out this show at The Venue.

This was my first Murder Mystery Dinner and it was amazing. The staff was great. The show was great. I don't want to give anything away about the show. There was a lot audience participation. I had two roles myself and it was a lot of fun. When you first walk into the venue, there is a pizza kitchen and a nice bar. The theater room is great and perfect for this show. Can't wait to go back again to see a different show. Shout out to all the actors!!!! Great performance. Thanks. Magic Brad

What a fun time! I come to Vegas a lot but this time I brought my teenage grandson. He loves murder mysteries and I thought this would be fun. I read review and thought this might be something he'd like, little did I know I'd like it or rather loved it too! Again, what a fun time. The cast is super talented and they we have the audience from the get go. They make you feel important and they touch upon every member of the audience. The humor is appropriate for teens if not younger and it was the most I laughed at a single show in Vegas and that includes some top comedians I had little expectations for the food, especially after my horrendous tournament of kings meal, but this was really good. The service was excellent the food tasty and I didn't have to go back to the hotel in search of a late night meal. Overall this was a spectacular experience and I would highly recommend this show to everyone.

Well, that was disappointing. $100 ea x 4 they got us for. The acting was predictable and the show was repetitive and boring . The best parts were the bread and the gunshots that woke everyone up. The Ice cream was covered in salt and Nasty. The salad dressing was absolutely disgusting, everyone who didn't choose ranch didn't touch the salads. Pick something else to spend your hard earned money on. I don't recommend this show.

I thought the show was very mediocre. The acting was very amateur. The food well below average and for the amount they charge for this event the food should at minimum be good but I think an elementary school cafeteria could have served a better meal. I've been to other murder mystery dinners where the food was top notch and the show was actually well written with very good actors. If you want to just get drunk and hang out with a bunch of drunks, then spend your hundred bucks, but if you want a decent dinner and a good show, look elsewhere

Fun & funny show! I had a marvelous time with a big party of my friends staying at The Orleans and this dinner show was a good time for all. The actors were first rate and I enjoyed how they engaged the audience and kept us guessing to solve the whodunnit. Especially Lt. Post and DeeDee - their timing, delivery and the improvisation throughout the show kept everyone laughing. Hats off to the DJ too - lively soundtrack and clever audio jokes. The food was served promptly by a friendly and attentive crew. The meal itself was a little underwhelming but tasty and nicely plated. I appreciate the sensitivity & alternatives offered for vegetarians and people with food allergies. Overall good value and I would recommend for anyone that likes their entertainment interactive and hilarious.

Probably one of the greatest shows available for a fraction of the cost. Marriage Can Be Murder is a great event for a couple, a throuple or even a larger party. I decided to purchase 4 VIP tickets due to the positive reviews and loved every moment of it! The difference between RIP, VIP and GA is hilarious. RIP tickets are apart of the show and first to enter plus they receive everything a VIP would get plus 1 alcoholic drink. VIP are 2nd to enter the show and get a photo plus a Souvenir T-Shirt to take home after the show. GA enter last (if seats are still available) and get to enjoy all the fun without being picked on for the fun stuff. This show was mysterious, hysterical, theatrical and much more. Dinner menu includes an appetizer of bread and a salad. Dinner includes your choice of Grilled Chicken/Tri-tip combo w/sides or a Farfalle Pasta topped with Marinara and cheese. Dessert is then served: vanilla ice-cream with salted caramel nut and chocolate topping. (This dinner also can be arranged to serve those with allergies or vegan preferences). Overall the food was good. Beverages available are soda, Dr Pepper, Pepsi, sprite etc...as well as various alcohol options. Beer, wine, spirits. Tip: ARRIVE EARLY to get the best seating near the stage, although every seat is great due to the show taking place throughout the room. One question I always ask myself; "Would I visit again?" And my answer is 100%. In fact, I am already planning a return in a couple months and I can't wait! 2nd TIP: Bring a pen.. or take notes on your fully charged phone. Prizes are given for those who guess correctly as well as the person who is highly active on their page during the show. Overall, I Highly recommend the MARRIAGE CAN BE MURDER SHOW. - 5 thumbs up!!

The food AND entertainment was awesome! Worth the visit! There were three packages to choose from - we chose the R.I.P. Loved it!

My boyfriend and I have always wanted to do a murder mystery and this show not only fit our budget but also provided a full on dinner. When we arrived, we were first asked to pose for some pictures which was really fun and they post it on their Facebook page for you to look at or keep. They also take another set of photos which could be bought later in the show to keep as a memory of the fun evening. When we entered the venue, our server came by and introduced himself as well as take our drink order. Once he came back with drinks, we were given our salads with two different salad dressings that were already on the table. There were also water pitchers if we wanted water. The show began and they gave us the necessary tools to participate and the show was great as it was interactive, even for those who are introverts like myself. The cast was very funny and kind. Our main course was absolutely delicious and I love that they were accommodating of those with nut allergies or dietary restrictions. I luckily was able to enjoy everything that they served though. Dessert was also delightful and a great way to end the show. My boyfriend was able to deduce everything but unfortunately did not have enough time to write everything down, but we definitely had fun and were engaged the entire time. I recommend this show for a great time whether you are solo or with others!

Fun fun fun. Went with 3c other people and invited a woman by herself on line to join us. Nice dinner. Performers telling the story so we are trying to figure out who is the murderer. Would you believe the woman sitting next to me. My daughter knew it and won top sleuth and tickets to a show. What fun.

Hubby and I had a great time. It was definitely fun. The plot was interesting, and the hosts were hilarious. They kept us entertained during the whole show.

Original, funny and interactive we went to three shows and this was my favorite. The food was excellent and the cast interacted with many people in the audience. The show is well written and while the mystery is tough to solve, you can solve it, providing you pay attention to the clues.

I was in Vegas celebrating my friend's 60th birthday, and this was on the itinerary. I wouldn't have chosen this show outside of this celebration, but I am happy it was on the agenda because it was terrific. The minute you walk in, you blindly select a placard ("Guilty as Charged," "Innocent," etc.) for your mugshot, and the fun begins. We purchased standard seating and were on the perimeter close to the DJ. However, whether you choose standard, VIP/RIP, there's no bad table in the house. You should select your table based on the drink package. We did assume that suspects, volunteer participants, and awardees would be seated/selected from the VIP/RIP tables to justify the price scale. We were escorted to our table, met our tablemates, and started getting to know one another. The room was unassuming. There were 10-12 tables that seated eight people, a DJ booth, a clue table, a picture table, and a stage used sporadically by the actors and audience-selected band. The hostess worked the room well, going from table to table and interacting with the audience, so it was engaging from any vantage point. We ordered drinks and selected one of three meal options (Pizza, Chicken + Steak with potatoes and veggies, or Vegan). It was non-stop laughter as the host and actors will have you in stitches for the 2+ hour show. There are 2-3 breakout sessions for you to mingle with other tables to gain clues. Dinner was served between the action, and the food and drinks were yummy. The show was entertaining, and we purchased both mugshot keepsake pics. I will see this show every time I visit LV because it changes quarterly and is worth the price.

My husband and I just left this show, and it was fantastic! The acting was fabulous. And legit the audience really all does get to participate! Lots of people, including our tablemates, thought my husband and I were actors with the show because my husband was "featured" so much. I'm tickled!

This was so much fun ! This show exceeded my expectations. It was such a unique experience where you meet strangers and have a great time. The show was funny and they really find a way to involve everyone in the room. The show was a great value for the food and entertainment and wasn't far off the strip. The cast was really entertaining and kept everyone laughing and entertained. We thought Shell and Garret were big standouts. The cast member that was the most entertaining and hilarious was the Hostess Candy. She had us laughing the whole time. I would def see this show again and more than likely take a larger group with us. The staff was also equally amazing especially the wait staff. I consider myself a bad service magnet when I am out to Dinner and they were all on point with the service and I can't complain about a single thing. We will be back!

Very fun .. our daughter for her birthday requested a murder mystery and this popped right up. Very funny and entertaining . Good was OK . Good value overall .

I would not recommend this show. I thought the show itself was entertaining, the cast were fun and engaging. But the service spoiled the experience. First, the hostess seated us incorrectly--we paid extra for "VIP", and ended up in the worst two seats possible. The extra shots that were part of the VIP admission never made it to us, even though the hostess walked right past our table three or four times, and she was the one who put our wristbands on. The seating was packed tighter than a Tokyo metro train. The waiting staff barely paid us any attention at all, and weren't friendly or even very courteous. The food wasn't anything special. We weren't expecting Michelin stars, but the wilted salad and instant potatoes are pretty subpar. The one thing that was on-point were the cocktails. They were pretty good.

Absolutely excellent. If you sit at home and watch murder mysteries and crime tv shows, thinking to yourself "Man I'm good, and I could probably solve crimes in real life" - this is the show for you. They rotate plots and characters and story lines every so often, so call ahead if this will be your second or more attempt. The show is very audience dependent, so come with an open attitude and be ready to participate and help move the story line along. There are levels of tickets that increase your level of participation: General Admission, VIP, and RIP (phone reservations only). As far as food goes, it was honestly one of the better tasting meals so far on our trip, and the service was amazing. It was a steak, chicken, green bean, and mashed potato plate with salad and bread to start with and a sundae for dessert. Ambiance - Be open to talking to strangers for a couple of hours. The seating is shared tables to help you interact with the people around you, which is better than it sounds, because it could save your life. Honestly, though, skip the lame overpriced shows located at the big casinos and make your way off the strip to this gem.

My girl and I have been going to this show for some years now. It has become tradition for us at this point! We have gone to this show 6 or 7 times and every time it's like a new show! From the host MiMi to Sal the cast is great and you're always promised with a great time laughs and surprises. The dinner is just a bonus to the show which is really good! We actually got to meet Eddie the owner after the show and he is just as hilarious in real life as in the show! Mimi as well. They had my sides hurting from the stories they were telling us! Can't wait to go back and thank you guys for supplying Vegas with entertainment for over 20 years! Cheers to 20 plus more!

That was worst show I have ever seen. The show was ridiculous. The dinner was not served for 2 hours after the show started and it was cold small portions for $100 a person. We finally just had to leave, but we heard they served dessert at 9:00. See any other show than this one.

I absolutely loved the actors and show..will definitely be bringing others along when we come back. This show is perfect to break you out of the norm and into a very interactive experience..

This is one of a kind show, we had great time. The team is just great, they are very welcoming and very funny. I bet you will have great time as everyone and I mean everyone will be part of the show. The laugh is 100% guaranteed.

Loved this show super entertaining and interactive. There was not a dull moment it was hilarious and exceeded all my expectations. Great time highly recommend.

I did not enjoy this interactive play. I thought it was going to be completely different than what it was. LOTS of audience participation, even interrupting people as they were trying to have their dinner. The couple sitting next to us never came back after a quick break they allowed us to take. The food was nothing to write home about and we even paid extra for a drink which they gave us a shot in a syringe as we walked into the theater. I guess that was our free drink? I was extremely disappointed and this is what I chose to do for my Birthday, what a mistake.

The service was amazing...5 stars...the show was entertaining, funny and full of surprises. DeeDee carried the show...the cast and theme line were great. the food was ok...we had the chef's choice and it was lacking the Vegas umpf...will totally go back but make sure to be more selective with our food choice...key words...WILL GO BACK

What a fun experience! Food was great, drinks were great, entertainment was great! Enjoyed the evening and still wasn't sure who was acting!!

Wonderful time!! Our whole table of 6 really enjoyed both the dinner and the show! Cast was great, fantastic crowd involvement, so interactive. Great time all around!

The show was entertaining and funny. All of the actors were great with the audience and food was good. Definitely made my wife and I want to do another murder mystery dinner. If you're in Vegas, please go, it's definitely worth it.

This show provides laughs, witty humor and a whole lot of love for their guests! it's a good, light-hearted, interactive dinner Murder mystery show! You'll leave laughing with a gigantic smile!

This was a great show at a fantastic value. You didn't feel like you were at a show near The Strip, you felt like you were watching community theater, which we loved. The wait staff, bartenders, and actors were all amazing. For the price, the food is on par. We laughed, we danced, we acted a bit, made friends, and solved crimes. My entire party had a great time. Recommended!

Show was meh. Started kind of funny and then kind of fell on its face. Actors were great! But the story line wasn't very good. Mystery didn't make sense. Too vague. Audience interaction was okay but redundant. Everyone was asked the same questions. Food was better than I had hopes for. Service was very unorganized and understaffed.

LOVED this show ! It was definitely my favorite out of all the shows we went to ! We laughed & laughed. It was a blast !

This show deserves 10 stars let me just say that. My wife and I got the RIP tickets which is right in front. Before I begin let me say these tickets are worth it! Usually this isn't my kind of thing my wife got the tickets and then told me I wasn't happy because I knew I had a chance to be part of the show. I'm pretty shy by nature still coming out of my shell. Anyway I'm going to say that I did end up getting picked on (just my luck I thought) honestly the second that I was put on spot with mic and camera on screen usually I calm up. I felt very comfortable and actually was able to speak. I had a blast getting the attention because it was something that I'm sure my wife wanted to happen. Oh they did her too lol. Now for the real review: The food was amazing from the start to the end very very good dinner perfect amount of seasoning and flavors nothing was bad and I'm a picky eater. As for the snow itself it was nonstop (besides a few minute break two times) comedic perfection. The actors were great, I was sitting two seats away from one of the actors and DIDN'T even know it at first but then when the show progressed I started to suspect them of being the murder. The cast was AMAZING and kept the show going, it really was non stop laughter and jokes at every single line which I really enjoyed laughing so much. It sometimes takes a lot to make me laugh well not here so if you're looking for something to do skip the strip and come see Marriage Can Be Murder. You will NOT leave disappointed. I will say that this is the BEST show in Las Vegas that I have seen. Don't miss out on it while you're here. Trust me it's very well worth the money especially being in the RIP. Go on out and have yourself a good 2 hour laugh.

What a great time we had. 36 people in our group and everyone had a lot of fun. They do a great job of audience participation. The food was good and they really know how to put on a show. We plan to do it again.

I read so many reviews on this venue, that I thought hubby and I could give it a try. We went with the "R.I.P." package, which was a little pricey by the time they added all their fees. Personally, I would prefer a "total price" advertised fee, rather than a lower advertised fee that is not near what you end up paying when it's all said and done. Yes, the food is not 5-star quality, but remember, you're NOT there for the food reviews. Having said that, PLEASE upgrade the salad from wilted, brown bagged lettuce to at least fresh bagged lettuce. As an "R.I.P.", we were promised guaranteed participation in the show. They definitely delivered on that promise. Hubby and I took part in several segments of the show, and loved every minute of it. The banter of the main players was right on, funny, and engaging. We also received a free t-shirt and pictures of us that were terrific. I'm going to recommend this show for one of my women's groups as a fun night out event, so YES, I would definitely attend again. GREAT FUN!!

I had high hopes for this but was very disappointed. The food was very poor; about public school quality. The actors were great and fun but the story line wasn't great. The story dragged on and on and felt like things were repeated over and over to fill the time. Not worth the money. Pretty disappointing.

Ok the food was good, but the staff, actors and whole experience was fantastic! My daughter and I enjoyed it immensely and had a great group to interact with! Would do again!

It was so much fun, that my cheeks hurt from laughing and smiling all night long!! The audience participation wasn't so over the top that you felt uncomfortable, in fact it was usually just some good humor where you can laugh at yourself. As far as the food, that was Ah-mazing! I hesitated on going but was so happy I went and I'm still smiling about what a good time we had.

SUPER fun and funny and adult but not embarrassingly so...LOTS of audience participation, which makes it spontaneous and hilarous...the food was good and the drink menu HUGE...very good attentive service from the wait staff and WONDERFUL way to enter with 'sal'!!!! Check in is easy peasy and the room is VERY comfortable, lots of space...THE TV SCREENS are great to be able to see even if the action is behind me!!! worth every penny!!!

Very entertaining show. Lots of laughs. Good food and appropriate portions. It would have been mor fun if they did not cram so many people at a table. F for comfort.
