Worst of Las Vegas 2021

Saddest Closure - UNCENSORED INTERNATIONAL

Bawdy revue UNCENSORED INTERNATIONAL at Treasure Island would have received our "Best New Show" award if it hadn't already closed by November. Extremely daring, and perhaps too racy for even Las Vegas, the acclaimed Mexican production has been performing around the world for a decade. But Sin City requires a unique sort of marketing that the producers of UNCENSORED didn't attempt to crack. The behind-the-scenes intrigue of this cutting-edge show made for a dramatic tale that Vegas 411 witnessed from the inside. Click here to check it out.

Filthiest Movie Theater - AMC TOWN SQUARE

This one pains me to write, as I'm a former manager for AMC Theaters. As such, I know the high standards that this nationwide chain of cinemas once achieved. Alas, you'd never believe it after a visit to AMC Town Square 18, which is consistently repulsive and disgusting. In the past two years, I've reported this theater to the Nevada Health Department, written complaints to the corporation itself, and contacted Dirty Dining at local television station KTNV-13. The only reason I continue to patronize is their excellent AMC Stubs A-List monthly subscription program, which includes up to three movies per week and additional perks for less than the price of two adult tickets. 

During a visit over New Year's weekend, four of the six self-serve soda machines were out of commission, and one of the remaining two had no ice. Staffers were bringing out cold popcorn from the back in large plastic bags, as the poppers weren't able to make enough fresh product for guests. The men's room floors were soaked with urine, every soap dispenser was empty, and computer-printed paper signs apologized for no paper towels to dry your hands (surely that's a health code violation). Trash cans in the corridors overflowed with garbage and auditoriums were sticky and filthy. Just another day at AMC Theaters. Welcome back to the movies!
