Authentic Review / Not Written by a Bot or AI…. A Must-See Vegas Gem: Popovich Comedy Pet Theater at Planet Hollywood - If you’re looking for a family friendly show in Las Vegas that’s fun, heartwarming, and completely unique, the Popovich Animal Show at the V Theatre inside Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood is an absolute must-see. Whether you’re with young kids, a date, or just adults who love a good laugh and adore animals, this show is pure magic. Gregory Popovich is a world-class performer and animal trainer, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does—and more importantly, he loves the animals. Most if not all animals in the show have been rescued from a shelter and are trained with patience and care. You’ll see an incredible array: dogs, cats, a pig, big fluffy geese, trained rats, a flying exotic bird, and even a tiny horse that stole the show! Mr. Popovich is more than just a skilled trainer—he’s a gifted comedian and showman with old-school charm. He keeps the audience engaged from start to finish, and I couldn’t stop smiling—the kind of smiling where your face actually hurts afterward. His physical comedy is reminiscent of classic circus performers and brings a joyful, nostalgic energy you don’t often see anymore. It is true talent in his bones passed down through four generations. After the show, Mr. Popovich stayed to take photos, sign autographs, and even allowed some of his furry felines to be pet. He had books for purchase (very reasonably priced) on how to train cats and dogs, and he clearly wants to share his knowledge and passion. We purchased a book and got a free signed poster along with a personalized message in the book. This performance was easily one of the highlights of my trip. It’s uplifting, hilarious, and inspiring—and suitable for absolutely anyone who enjoys laughter and animals. I can’t recommend it enough. Bravo, Mr. Popovich! I will see it again when I come back to Vegas. Seating advice- sit toward the middle in one of the first three rows. However- I think most seats offered a great view.

Fun with pets - Great love how cute yhe animals were and it was a great experience . Enjoyed the show. Definitely great for the kids and if you are traveling alone and love animals

Great show - My wife, daughter and I loved this show, the reaction on my daughters face watching this was priceless, truely amazing, would recommend.

is the perfect show to... - is the perfect show to enjoy with the family, you will laugh a ton , the kids were excited to see the next presentacion

A nice solid experience of heart warming theater. - I read reviews before I attended the show. I was concerned about the negative reviews about the animals not being well cared for. Also, the show has been updated and is very nicely staged and produced. I saw the show a few years ago and this was a very upgraded show since then. I own three dogs, have had pets all of my life, and the level of training with these animals is amazing. I was sitting next to a young girl who was so thrilled with the whole show. High marks!

Loved it for kids and adults kids - We went to see this show and we really liked it ideal for the kids. Small auditorium but with everything required for a Las Vegas show. The very attentive staff, the fantastic animals, I liked the way popovich took the event, with his German type English, you clearly understood and according to the history of the event. It didn't get expensive. There is parking nearby. Very participatory people.

Entertaining! - Amazed at the trained cats! Beware of kids misbehaving in the audience. It’s loud so if you are sensitive to noise, bring earplugs. Overall I laughed and enjoyed it as I would a good variety show.

Entertaining but dated - Show looking a bit dated. Needed more from the pets, too much where there aren’t any. On positive front it’s wonderful to see what Popovich has done to rescue and support his pets. Young kids enjoyed but wouldn’t go again.

Lackluster performance, rude event staff - Show was only okay. Super overstimulating with nonstop cymbal crashes whenever the pets did tricks and the constant puffs of theatrical smoke for no specific reason choked us up a bit. I liked the portrayed mission of Popovich, to rescue animals and train them up for the show, but otherwise felt the experience was lackluster. Worst part by far was the exit after the show. Every path but one is marked as alarm will sound emergency exit only and the one route they direct everyone is through a “meet the stars” and buy the family photos areas. Basically a cash grab. No judgement there, but it took an unreasonably long time to exit based on folks making purchases. The path is tiny and you can’t simply walk around and exit if you don’t care to participate. I have young kids and one was screaming and we need to leave asap. When I asked a theatre worker about it she replied rudely, “sorry for you.” Was frustrating and ruined the experience. Kind of a ridiculous way to behave and treat theatre goers, especially with families. Wouldn’t recommend.

Do not recommend this at all - It wasn’t really my cup of tea, to be honest. The acting felt a bit stiff, and the story was a bit dated. My kids were bored out of their minds, and I couldn’t help but feel like we wasted our almost $200. The animals looked a bit sad and neglected, and there was this one scene where the pony got hit with a stick for not doing the tricks right away. It was a bit disturbing, to be honest. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this show to anyone.
