Hi there,
I reside in Sin City and recently attended the Live Show. The one thing I tell everyone is:
1) If you never been to CBS, then it will be cute and you'll have fun. Get you a beer or glass of wine as alcohol is permitted.
2) The prizes are very inexpensive.When I attended, an item up for bids was a tennis racket, one was an ice cream maker. Therefore, lots of overbids.
3) When the first 4 contestants are called to come on down, you only have one chance. Everytime there is an IUFB, they call 4 new people.
4) They have a huge gold curtain that stays closed most of the time. The set itself only has 2 sets of big doors as opposed to three at Bob Barker Studio.
FINALLY,
5) The showcase: There is only one showcase. Both persons bid on it. The one I saw had a chair, a pooltable, a trip and a car.
If you were less than 100 dollars you won it. If you were less than 500 dollars, you won the pooltable. This being said, no one was given a thing because they both were off more than 500 dollars.
This was as of a month and a half ago.
Have fun!!
P.S. The games played when I attended were:
Clock
It's in the BAg
Hole in One
Race Game
Sorry, I can't recall the other two off the top of my head.
My highlight was watvhing the big wheel. Also, afterwards, Randy West and Todd Newton went out front and chatted with you. Todd stayed about 10 minutes, Randy stayed about 30 minutes.
Hope this helps.
