HACKED Tickets
Magic and mentalism with live robots and an AI sidekick: British champion magician Keelan Leyser in Ivan Kane's Forty Deuce at Mandalay Bay. Wed-Thu 7 p.m., Fri-Sat 4 p.m., about 90 minutes; recommended 13+. Opened August 2026.
Is HACKED at Mandalay Bay Worth It? The Robot Magic Show, Honestly
HACKED is a magic and mentalism show that treats technology as the trick: Keelan Leyser, a British champion magician who built a Las Vegas following online as Vegas Navigator, works sleight of hand and mind-reading alongside a humanoid robot called Navitron, a robot dog billed as the K9 Unit and a retro-styled AI named LILA that scans the room and talks back. The premise leans on deepfakes, prediction and how much of you a machine can read, rather than adding screens to a card act. It opened in August 2026 inside Ivan Kane's Forty Deuce, the cabaret room at Mandalay Bay, and plays Wednesday and Thursday at 7 p.m. and Friday and Saturday at 4 p.m., doors an hour before, running about 90 minutes.
The schedule is the oddity. A 4 p.m. curtain on the two biggest nights of the week means the show is an afternoon plan, not an evening one, and it goes dark Sunday through Tuesday. The room is small, interaction starts the moment you sit down, and early reviewers suggest arriving fifteen minutes before doors because the experience begins in the lounge. Neither the producer nor the venue publishes a ticket price, which pushes buyers toward resellers; check the box office range before paying a marketplace markup.
Age is the other gray area: the show's site pitches it at "curious kids, teenagers and adults," the performer's site recommends 13 and up, and the host room is a burlesque nightclub by night. No hard minimum is published, so families should confirm with the box office. Forty Deuce isn't signposted like a theater; allow time to find it inside the resort.
Insider tipCome for doors, not for curtain: the machines and the close-up work start in the lounge before the show proper, and the seats nearest the stage are gone by then. On a Friday or Saturday, pair the 4 p.m. show with an early dinner at Mandalay Bay and you're back on the Strip by 7.Check Tickets & Prices →
