Jimmy Kimmel Comedy Club

The Jimmy Kimmel name is renowned in the American entertainment industry, and it's no surprise that his namesake comedy club is one of the most popular in Vegas.

His reputation as a funny man precedes him, as the former host of "The Man Show" and current presenter of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

Located at the LINQ Hotel and Casino on the Promenade, the Jimmy Kimmel Comedy Club showcases some of the best up-and-coming comedians.

The club is intimate, with a maximum capacity of 300 people, spread across a mix of traditional venue seats and long tables for bigger groups. This means you're guaranteed a good view of the stage, no matter where you're sitting.

Mat Franco Magic Reinvented Nightly

Having won "America's Got Talent" in 2014, Franco is one of the most successful magicians of his generation.

Altogether, Franco has dozens of original tricks that he performs throughout the show, many of which are interactive.

Franco has been charming audiences with his unique brand of magic since he was a young boy. And just recently, Franco has been crowned “the magician changing the game” by the Los Angeles Times.

The show itself has landed a spot on Forbes Best 5 Shows to See In Las Vegas too – so you know you're in for a treat.

Location & Directions

The LINQ Hotel and Experience can be found in the middle of the cluster of casinos on the southern end of the main Las Vegas Strip.

It sits on the eastern side of Las Vegas Boulevard, directly across the road from Caesars Palace and sandwiched in between the Venetian and the Flamingo.

The LINQ is also known for the LINQ Promenade, a collection of shops and restaurants that runs through its center, connecting the Strip with the High Roller Ferris wheel.

If you're arriving at Las Vegas's main airport, a taxi or rideshare to the LINQ will cost around US$15-US$25 for a short 10-minute drive from the terminal.

If you prefer to save some cash, you can also take the CX or the 108 bus to the WB (Westbound) Tropicana after Koval station.

From there, it's a short walk to the MGM Grand Monorail, which will not only drop you off right under the LINQ's Ferris wheel, but also give you a great view of the city from above.

If you're arriving at the main bus terminal in Downtown Las Vegas near Fremont Street, the most straightforward public transport option is to take the Deuce bus from Downtown to the Mirage.

The journey will take about 35 minutes, followed by a 5-minute walk to the LINQ.
