Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Bawdy good fun!
    Our group caught the Van Ella Bordello show Thanksgiving night-very entertaining! Small venue but nicely done, good acoustics. The performers were great and quickly got the crowd into the spirit of the evening. Glad we went.

    Enjoyed it all!
    We had a buffet luncheon which with real china and stainless chafing dishes was a step above what I was expecting. The offerings included: salad, rolls, corn, mixed veggies, mashed potatoes, baked chicken, meatloaf, bread pudding, coffee, and iced tea. Food was good enough. No complaints. By luck, we sat close to the stage and so had a wonderful view of its USO-style show. Three lovely vocalists sang us songs of the WWll era. With small costume and prop changes it kept our attention and I really enjoyed the show leaving with a tear in my eye.

    Lucky Pierre's, New Orleans, November 2015
    We attended the 11:00 pm drag show at Lucky Pierre's on Thursday, November 19, 2015. We arrived about 30 minutes early and went to the front area of the building to enjoy a drink and relax before the show. Karioke was in full swing with shameless audience participation! When the drag show began, we walked to the back area of the building and sat at a table towards the right of the stage. Each "lady" was introduced, slowly walked down a tall stairway, stopped on the landing with a slow turn, then finished the stairs and strutted to the stage for an individual performance. After her performance, each lady walked through the audience for an additional personal touch (no pun intended!). These ladies are absolutely gorgeous and stunning. Hair, makeup, nails, jewelry and costumes were perfect in every way. They are beautiful, and I would love to get some makeup tips from them. We attended this venue on our first night in New Orleans. It was the perfect choice. Thank you ladies!

    Fun and entertaining show
    We saw this show yesterday when we were lured in by the entertainers after a little teaser show on bourbon street. They are great!! It was very fun to watch especially Dante, the host and magician. There were tons of laughs, nice burlesque, and very cool tricks.
