- TMTeresa Maloney-SmithNov 5, 20255.0Saw Josh Johnson. Best comedy show I've ever seen
- IWInez WalkerOct 19, 20255.0You can see the stage easily
- KAKen AndradeOct 18, 20253.0Functional as a smallish event venue, but also clearly just an add-on to the casino. Access is through the very smoke-filled gaming floor. If the gambling connection is a plus for you, great, but otherwise not the best option.
- TLThom LandisSep 30, 20255.0Great small venue for up-close, intimate events. Really good acoustics. For our event (rock concert) ALL seating was GA, but if you attend one with reserved seating, be aware that the seats are quite far from the stage. The standing area between has got to be 75 yards long or more.
- MPMark PinkardSep 20, 20252.0The Event Center: Where Comfort Goes to Die (and Apparently, So Does Air Quality) Third time’s the charm? Not at The Event Center. I’ve been here three times now, and this last visit was a full-on bleacher betrayal. I sat in the back “bleacher” section, which felt more like a punishment than a seat. The chairs? Narrow. Rigid. Zero leg room. I’ve had more personal space in a Spirit Airlines basic economy seat—and that’s saying something. My knees were in a hostage situation for the entire show. And just when I thought the discomfort was the worst part, a random woman decided it was the perfect time to light up and smoke during the performance. Indoors. In 2025. I didn’t know I’d signed up for a comedy show and a lung test. The vibe was giving “unhinged speakeasy,” not “professional venue.” The comedian? Hilarious. The Event Center? Needs a serious glow-up. Better seating, better enforcement, and maybe a reminder that smoking indoors is not retro—it’s just rude.
