In Short – A longtime favorite for family dinner entertainment, patrons enjoy resident magicians performing tricks in the close-up theaters as well as roaming psychics and blackjack games. Adults can partake of some after-dinner dancing in the Temple of Isis dance club. Ticket cost includes a two-course dinner prepared by Executive Chef Martin Delgado and all of the magic and comedy shows. Alcoholic beverages are extra. Magic Island's popular Sunday brunch buffet features live jazz and strolling magicians.

Scary Restaurant

by colt45 at Citysearch

Read the review by Amber6701. Hers was right on.

Anyhow, this restaurant is like Cartoon Network. Great for little kids and grown ups that are high. You really want to laugh at everything. It's so cheesy. That's the only good thing about it. The place is so foul and decrepid you just might laugh the whole time.

By the way. The food is gross. Don't dress up! No one else is.

  • Pros: Eerie like a haunted house
  • Cons: Eerie like a haunted house

couldnt speak english

by cullinscarp2k at Citysearch

I find it very interesting that people are complaining that the service help coundnt speak english. Isnt that what people want? According to our government thats what we want. We want illegals in this country to do work that we dont want to do. Such work includes, taking our jobs in the construction industry, hotel motel jobs, and most importantly, the job of causing auto accidents and then running back to mexico. Lets not forget about the importance of killing our law enforcement officers also.

The people have spoken, and we are getting what we want. Lets out more product and insorce more employees.

Highly overpriced for the entertainment

by amber6701 at Citysearch

The mandatory valet parking was unnecessary, but i've seen it more expensive. Then you go inside and they ask for a credit card right away so they can open a bill, which you carry around the entire time and give to anyone who wants to charge you anything. The meal is less than expected for a "fine dining" restaurant, then you're herded into a line to wait for the "show" to start. The sho is no more than a children's magician doing lame old tricks from the 60's and what looks to be his teenage daughter in an oversized dress holding his props for him. Then you get free rein of the place, which only includes two rooms of close up magicians, which again are the same tricks from back in the day, and a lobby/bar with a palm reader and a psychic, which are fine if you pay cash, but if you pay with the tab, the 18% service charge gets added to that too, as well as the valet and $8-9 drinks. If you go with 2 people and plan on drinking, bring more than the reccommended $100. Any more, and it'll drain your wallet dry and leave you wondering what was it for.

  • Pros: I personally liked the decoration, though the best rooms were not being used.
  • Cons: Way too expensive, not that good of food, not very good service.
