Shin Lim: Limitless is a close-up card magic show by the two-time America’s Got Talent winner, with his hands filmed and shown on big video screens. Since October 2024 it has played The Palazzo Theatre at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, a room reworked for magic when Lim moved over from The Mirage.
Only the front of the theater is sold for this show: three VIP blocks closest to the stage, then sections 1, 2 and 3 behind them. Where to sit: as central as you can, in VIP 2 or section 2. A middle seat a few rows back beats a side seat up front, because everyone watches part of the card work on the screens.
Best seats for Shin Lim: Limitless
The best seats are in the center of VIP 2, rows A to H, where you face the stage and the large center screen straight on.
Being close is not the whole story here. Shin Lim works with cards at a tiny scale, and the camera feed on the three screens (the middle one is the biggest) carries a good part of the show. Guests in the second row of VIP 2 still watch some moments on screen, so being square to the center screen matters more than sitting in row A.
Rows E to H of the VIP blocks come with a small table in front of the seats and no armrests between them. They are the priciest seats in the house.
Best value seats
For value, take the center of section 2, just behind VIP 2: you keep a straight view of the stage and the main screen and pay less than in VIP.
If you want to stay in VIP, look at the inner seats of VIP 1 and VIP 3, right next to VIP 2. They often cost less than center VIP 2, and from the first few rows the angle is barely different from the ends of VIP 2.
The back rows of sections 1, 2 and 3 are usually the cheapest seats in the room. The last rows of section 1 sit under the balcony overhang, but guests report it does not cut into the view.
Seats to avoid
Skip the far ends of the rows in the side blocks (VIP 1, VIP 3, sections 1 and 3), where you see both the stage and the screens at a sharp angle.
At a magic show the angle matters more than the distance. Given the choice between the end of a front row and a central seat a few rows back, take the central one.
Accessible seating
Wheelchair and companion seats are handled by The Palazzo Theatre box office: call before you book and tell them what you need.
If you would rather sort it out in person, the box office is on The Palazzo casino floor, Level 1, near Grand Lux Cafe.
Section by section
VIP 1, VIP 2 and VIP 3
The three VIP blocks fill the front of the theater from row A to row H, with VIP 2 in the middle and VIP 1 and VIP 3 on either side. The table seats are in rows E to H.
From here you see Shin Lim’s face, his hands and the stage effects up close. You will still look up at the screens for the finest sleight of hand, so pick the center over the front row if you have to choose.
Sections 1, 2 and 3
These sections sit behind the VIP blocks, from row J back, in the same order: section 2 in the middle, sections 1 and 3 on the sides. Rows J to M are the closest, rows N to Q the middle, and rows R to X the back of the house.
The center of section 2 lines up with the main screen, which is what counts most from mid-house. In sections 1 and 3, the seats along the aisle next to section 2 are the ones to want.
Sections 4 to 11
The rest of the theater is not usually sold for Shin Lim, so you will not be pushed further back than section 1, 2 or 3.
Good to know before you go
- Ages 4 and up, and every guest needs a ticket.
- The show runs about 90 minutes. Curtain is at 7:00 or 7:30 pm depending on the date, and the show is dark on Mondays and Tuesdays.
- Even the closest seats depend on the three video screens for the card work, so do not pay extra for row A expecting to see every move with your own eyes.
- No outside food or drink. Backpacks, large bags, iPads, laptops and cameras are not allowed, and mobile tickets are accepted.
- If you drive, park in The Palazzo garage.
