What To Expect

Plan to arrive a bit before the show begins because actors are planted throughout the audience—and many people say the show actually begins before the doors open. Then, be a part of the mystery and fun. Enjoy a 3-course meal that includes salad, choice of entree, and dessert. Non-alcoholic beverages are included. Meanwhile, try to figure out ‘whodunit.’ Remember, the odd person at the table might be an actor or just an odd person.

We’re so glad you had a KILLER time at Marriage Can Be Murder. Thanks for the great review.

Something you should definitely do when you go to Vegas

Cherie_J, Dec 2025
Food is great lots of laughs. We love going we’ve gone three times. It’s always new and fun. I won a prize for most facebooking

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thanks for coming to the show! We're glad you had a KILLER evening. :)

Not worth the price

Jason_B, Oct 2025
If you’ve never done this before, it’s not explained to you when you get there. I had no idea what was going on or what we were supposed to do. Neither did anyone in my party. Bring a jacket because it’s freezing cold. Anyone that had a jacket on never took it off. The food was good, but not enough. Ended up going to Jack-in-the-Box right after because we were starving. I got a discount on tickets, thank goodness. I would never pay full price for this, and given the chance to do it again I wouldn’t pay discounted price either. The venue is not set up well. Where we were seated, you couldn't see who was speaking and there’s basically only one or two people that talk. I was very disappointed. The only good part was the dinner that I will call an appetizer and at least I was with friends.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. We’re glad you enjoyed the food and your time with friends, but we understand your disappointment and will use your feedback to improve the overall experience.

Tickets to a nonexistent show.

Richard_M, Jan 2025
Wrong night! Viator sent me tickets for a nonexistent show. The night had changed to two days later but they still sent tickets for last night. I can’t throw all the blame at Viator. I did agree to change the booking but when I was sent tickets, I figured they knew what they were doing and we went and burned up our only free night. We are looking forward to seeing the next show tomorrow night. With luck I can give it a better review. Showing up to a torn up venue is a bit of a letdown.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We’re so sorry about the ticket mix-up and appreciate your patience. We hope you had enjoyed the show. Thanks for coming to Marriage Can Be Murder.

This show was a hoot!

Janet_W, Jan 2025
The actors were amazing, especially in their ability to remember the names of the guests and the cute nicknames they gave them, putting up pictures of celebrities they resembled on the big screen. The audience was there for a good time and many volunteered to be part of the show. But, the villian still had me fooled in the end!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

We’re glad you had a great time. Audience participation is our favorite part - it makes each show unique! Thanks for coming.

Murder can be fun!

Catheleen_J, Jan 2025

Great entertainment, food not so much

Mandy_F, Nov 2024
It was a hilarious show but the food was a little lackluster and I never got a dessert. Other than that it was great!

Response from Host, Nov 2024

So happy you enjoyed the cast! Thank you for sharing your thoughts—we’ll make sure our food & beverage team hears them.

Boring

Rita_G, Oct 2024
Very boring and not quality- same actors were servers in between seems, you can just tell their budget for show is very limited and everything is outdated. Food was cold. The only good thing was the DJ. Waiter was rude as well as bartender.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Your feedback is appreciated. We'll share your thoughts with the director. Enjoy your day.

Not

Lisa_R, Sep 2024
I thought dinner and a show. Not what I got. Way more introducing crowd and socializing. Food was decent. Stuffed into tables in a single level venue. Hard to see and way over the top B movie ish. Not a fan. Sorry.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for your honest review. We understand that humor is subjective and we're sorry the show was to not your taste. Thank you for stopping by the show!

Be sure to arrive early because they will start serving food and drinks! The majority of people do not have to help act. Super entertaining! Good for teens and older.

Deceptive

Allen_B, Jun 2024
Cops that wears short shorts lol. The whole experience was great. The cast really had us going all night long especially with the plants that was planted in the room. My wife and I played a enormous role in the show and that was spectacular but I never thought she would poison me lol
