Is Ghost Stories Worth It? Honest Review of Kent Axell's Speakeasy Show

Ghost Stories is Kent Axell's intimate mentalism show, billed as "dark magic," staged in a hidden chamber inside 1923 Prohibition Bar, the speakeasy at The Shoppes at Mandalay Place on the bridge between Mandalay Bay and Luxor. Axell (Nat Geo's Brain Games, Masters of Illusion) caps each performance at 38 guests and blends storytelling with close-up mind-reading - the format is a séance-flavored parlor session, not a stage spectacle, and the room's bourbon-bar setting does a lot of the atmospheric work. Shows start at 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday and run roughly 60 to 90 minutes; the venue's site still lists Thursdays, but the current calendar rarely does.

Know the constraints: it's strictly 21-and-over (it's a bar), the 38-seat cap means weekends genuinely sell out, and at around $85 with fees to start it's priced at the top of the parlor-magic tier; the venue's own range is $69 to $89, and scarcity is a big part of what you're paying for. Listings as of September 5, 2026 still say one artisan cocktail comes with the ticket, but the venue's own page doesn't spell that out, so don't bank on it. The speakeasy itself takes some finding inside Mandalay Place, and the single 6 p.m. start is early by Vegas standards, so plan dinner for afterward.

Insider tipCome 30 minutes ahead of the 6 p.m. start for a drink at the bourbon bar itself - the speakeasy is half the experience and the show room opens from inside it.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of show is Ghost Stories?

Close-up mentalism wrapped in storytelling - Kent Axell calls it "dark magic," and the vibe is a candlelit parlor séance rather than a stage act. Capacity is capped at 38 guests, so everyone is effectively in the front row.

What's included in the ticket?

Admission covers the show itself. Listings as of September 5, 2026 still say one artisan cocktail from the bourbon bar comes with it, but the venue's own page doesn't confirm that, so treat the drink as a bonus rather than a promise.

Strictly 21+ with ID, since it's a bar venue with adult themes. Roughly 60 to 90 minutes, 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday, and with 38 seats, weekend sessions sell out ahead.
