Good show…once
by Az_dad on 12/31/24BattleBots Arena Behind Horseshoe Las Vegas - Las VegasRating: 3 out of 5My son and I attended 3 destruct-a-thon shows over 3 days. If you have kids that haven’t OD’d on the Battlebots show, they will probably love it. The production is fun & engaging & there aren’t any bad seats. The staff was all friendly and helpful, and the concessions and merchandise were reasonably priced.
However, if your kid is a hardcore fan and wants to see multiple shows, be forewarned that there is very little variation from show to show. We saw only 11 unique bots over the course of 15 fights, and many of the matchups were identical as well. My son wasn’t bothered, but I was - I could have recited the pre-match banter by heart.
So, if you have kids that similarly want to see multiple shows , you may want to think twice. My recommendation to the Battlebots team would be to mix up the bots, matchups, and banter more from day to day so that families that have made Battlebots the centerpiece of their visit to Vegas can get more out of multiple showings.
Ps for kids that are really into Battlebots the backstage tour after the show is worth it - just buy a wristband at the concession stand before the show.
