Pleasantly Surprised
I was actually VERY surprised that I would enjoy the show as much as I did. And the main reason?? "JAMMMMMES BROWN". He was so interactive, entertaining and down right hilarious. "DIANA ROSS" had a very nice, clean, beautiful voice, and great stage presentation. The place wasn't packed. BUT, THAT had it even MORE impressive that they were able to REALLY give 100% to the performance. You could tell that they really love entertaining, and makes a hugggge difference. ☺
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re thrilled that “JAMMMMMES BROWN” kept you laughing, engaged, and entertained! And thank you for your beautiful compliments about “DIANA ROSS” and her voice and stage presence. Whether we’re performing for a packed house or an intimate audience, we always give 100% because we truly love entertaining! Your kind words mean so much to our entire cast. We hope to see you again soon—come back and get Razzled and Dazzled with us! ❤️🎶

James Brown on steroids
We loved the show. It was exciting from the 1st minute. We visited on our 55th anniversary. We live in Las Vegas and will probably bring in some other folks to watch the show. JAMES Brown impersonator was fantastic! He was like a one man show. Thank you to all singers and dancers. We really loved it.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dwayne Anderson's FUNKED-UP A Tribute to James Brown & Motown: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Las Vegas.
How much does Dwayne Anderson's FUNKED-UP A Tribute to James Brown & Motown cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Las Vegas usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dwayne Anderson's FUNKED-UP A Tribute to James Brown & Motown take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Las Vegas is not rushed.
Is Dwayne Anderson's FUNKED-UP A Tribute to James Brown & Motown worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 35 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Las Vegas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dwayne Anderson's FUNKED-UP A Tribute to James Brown & Motown?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dwayne Anderson's FUNKED-UP A Tribute to James Brown & Motown suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dwayne Anderson's FUNKED-UP A Tribute to James Brown & Motown?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Las Vegas can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Las Vegas and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dwayne Anderson's FUNKED-UP A Tribute to James Brown & Motown start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Las Vegas within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Las Vegas?
+
Las Vegas sells two trips at once: the Strip after dark, and the red-rock desert that starts twenty minutes past the last casino. Helicopter runs to the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam half-days and Red Rock Canyon drives all leave early, while show tickets, speakeasy crawls and high-roller dining fill the evening. Outty Ranking weighs operator reliability heavily here, because the gap between a well-run desert tour and a coach-and-queue version is enormous. On Outty we rank every Las Vegas experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small Group: Valley of Fire Half Day Tour from Las Vegas, Small Group Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, 7 Magic Mountains VIP Tour, Grand Canyon West, Hoover Dam Stop, Breakfast, Lunch & Skywalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Las Vegas?
+
October to April. Summer highs above 105F make midday outdoor tours punishing. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Las Vegas?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Dwayne Anderson's FUNKED-UP A Tribute to James Brown & Motown?
+
Included: High-energy live performance; Admission to the show; Opportunity for photos, videos, and audience participation; and An immersive journey through music history. Not included: Gratuity. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Dwayne Anderson's FUNKED-UP A Tribute to James Brown & Motown?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Dwayne Anderson's FUNKED-UP A Tribute to James Brown & Motown wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Dwayne Anderson's FUNKED-UP A Tribute to James Brown & Motown if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Las Vegas. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What booking options are available for Dwayne Anderson's FUNKED-UP A Tribute to James Brown & Motown?
+
