A remarkable show at Strat, Banachek’s “Mind Games Live,” is ending its run at The Strat.<\/p>\n

The show closes on March 30, 2024, after more than 600 performances.<\/p>\n

Which means there’s still a little time to see it, which you absolutely should, and we tend to hate everything.<\/p>\n

Do not look into this man’s eyes unless you want him to know your date of birth, social security number and bra size.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Banachek (nee Steven Shaw) is a mentalist who doesn’t believe in mind reading. (Because psychic ability doesn’t actually exist.)<\/p>\n

The entire 70-minute show consists of doing things that are completely impossible. Here’s our review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

No reason was given for the show’s closure, but wildly profitable shows don’t tend to close in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

We’re adding “Mind Games Live” to our list of underrated Strat shows that, following news they’ll close, cause us to weep openly. See also “Xavier Mortimer: The Dream Maker.” Mortimer’s show has yet to reopen in a new venue, despite teases that could happen. More sad trombonery here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Strat’s dwindling entertainment line-up includes the sexy but occasionally disturbing “Rouge,” “iLuminate” (people dancing in LED suits) and the L.A. Comedy Club.<\/p>\n
