About the Show
Ghost Stories is one of the most atmospheric shows in Las Vegas — a dark mentalism experience performed by Kent Axell, featured on National Geographic’s “Brain Games” and Masters of Illusion, in a hidden chamber behind the 1923 Prohibition Bar at Mandalay Bay.
The entry is part of the experience: guests walk through the speakeasy bar before being led into a small, intimate room where Axell blends mind-reading, dark magic, and live ghost storytelling.
The limited audience size means nothing feels like a theater production — it’s closer to a parlor show, with nowhere to hide.
Choose it for something genuinely different from the Strip’s standard magic lineup. Skip it if you want family-friendly entertainment, big stage illusions, or a high-energy show.
Who It’s For
Dark Magic & Mentalism Fans
Kent Axell’s show is built around psychological illusions and mind-reading, not stage tricks. If Derren Brown is your benchmark, this is your show.
Immersive Experience Seekers
The hidden entry through a speakeasy bar and the intimate parlor setting are part of what makes this unique — it doesn’t feel like a Las Vegas show.
Adults-Only Date Night
The 21+ format, moody atmosphere, and Prohibition Bar setting make this one of the more distinctive date-night options on the Strip.
