Dinner and a show is fine. Dinner, a murder, and the two of you working the case is better.
Marriage Can Be Murder reopened on October 29 in a new home at Palms Place. The award-winning interactive comedy murder-mystery has entertained Las Vegas audiences for more than 27 years, and Palms itself calls it a celebrated experience for date nights.
You Are Not Just Watching. You Are Part of the Case.
This is not sit-quiet-in-the-dark theater. Guests become part of the investigation while they dine, laugh, and work together to identify the killer.
Every performance mixes comedy, audience participation, and unexpected twists. At the end of the night, one especially observant guest is recognized as the Super Sleuth, and the show site says that guest walks away with a prize.
The show was created and produced by Jayne and Eric Post through Laughter Unlimited Inc. Jayne Post said it plainly in the reopening announcement: "For more than 27 years, Marriage Can Be Murder has brought people together through laughter, surprises and unforgettable memories."
Dinner Is Included, and It Is a Real Dinner
Every ticket includes a three-course dinner from Cabrisse Kitchen & Bar, and you choose your meal when you arrive. No mystery there. The menu is posted.
- Course one: Spring-mix salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, and croutons, with ranch or Italian dressing, plus Monzu sourdough bread and butter.
- Course two, pick one: The Chef's Taster Meal with smoked bourbon-brown-sugar tri-tip and grilled chicken tenderloin, vegetarian penne with marinara and sauteed vegetables, or a personal artisan pizza.
- Course three: Vanilla ice cream with butter-toasted pecans, kosher salt, and a chocolate drizzle.
Here is the detail most dates miss. Cabrisse partners with local businesses, including Monzu Italian Oven + Bar for dough and fresh sourdough baked daily, and Henderson Roasting Company for coffee at the Cabrisse Coffee Bar.
How to Run This Date Right
The show plays Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in the Cabrisse Showroom at Palms Place, 4381 W Flamingo Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89103. It is dark Wednesdays and Sundays, so tonight, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are all live options this week.
- 5 p.m.: Doors and the bar open. Check in first at the Cabrisse Coffee Bar in the Palms Place lobby.
- 6:15 p.m.: Guest seating starts. The showroom and restaurant sit on the sixth floor.
- 7 p.m.: Show starts. The show site lists the experience at approximately 2.5 hours.
Book the tier that fits the night. VIP and RIP packages add premium seating and bar packages, and groups of 10 or more get special pricing, so a double date can scale up fast.
Guests under 18 must be with an adult, per Palms. For everyone else, the move is simple: arrive for the 5 p.m. bar, get seated at 6:15, and let somebody else commit the murder for once.
