What the Show Actually Is
Purple Reign is built around the 1984 Purple Rain era of Prince’s catalog. Jason Tenner fronts a live band through 75 minutes of funk and rock without a break. The set pulls from Let’s Go Crazy, 1999, Little Red Corvette, When Doves Cry, and enough of the catalog to cover the full arc of that period.
Midway through the set, performers portraying Morris Day and Jerome Benton take the stage for covers of The Time’s tracks, including Jungle Love and The Bird. It shifts the energy of the room completely and usually gets the crowd moving in a way that the quieter ballads do not.
This is a live band performance, not a backing-track situation. The guitar work is the main event alongside Tenner’s vocals, and the costumes are accurate to the era. If you have seen tribute acts that feel like a karaoke version of the real thing, this is different.
Finding the V Theater at Planet Hollywood
The V Theater sits inside the Miracle Mile Shops, the circular retail mall wrapped around the Planet Hollywood resort. First-time visitors frequently walk past it.
From Las Vegas Boulevard, enter the Miracle Mile Shops through the main center entrance. Stay right and follow the interior walkway past the indoor rainstorm feature. The V Theater box office is near the food court area. Give yourself a few extra minutes the first time — the mall covers a lot of ground.
- Seating: The room is small enough that there are no genuinely bad sightlines from any section.
- General admission: Further back from the stage but still a clear view of the full band. The right call for most visitors.
- VIP preferred: First few rows. Worth the upgrade if you want to see the costume details and catch the guitar work up close without straining.
Tickets: Where to Buy and What to Pay
Buy through the V Theater box office or Ticketmaster. Avoid secondary market platforms for a show at this price point — the markup is not worth it when primary tickets are available.
- General admission: Around $65 before taxes and venue fees.
- VIP preferred: Around $80 to $90.
- Box office tip: The V Theater occasionally bundles tickets with a pre-show drink voucher for the Showgirl Bar outside the theater doors. Ask about current packages when you buy.
- Last-minute option: Tix4Tonight kiosks along the Strip occasionally carry same-day discounted tickets for this show in the afternoon before the performance. Not guaranteed, but worth checking if your plans are flexible.
Where to Eat Before the Show
The 8:30 PM showtime gives you a clean window for dinner inside Miracle Mile Shops before walking to the theater. No stepping outside, no timing a rideshare.
- Cabo Wabo Cantina: Near the Strip entrance of the mall. Loud, high-energy, large margaritas, solid fajitas. Matches the vibe of the night well.
- Ocean One Bar and Grille: Budget-friendly with cocktail specials that run cheaper than most of the Strip. Good option if you want to keep dinner costs low before spending on tickets.
- Gordon Ramsay Burger: On the main Planet Hollywood casino floor, a short walk from Miracle Mile. Better than a standard casino burger and the truffle fries justify the stop if you want something more substantial.
All three are a short walk from the V Theater entrance. No reservations needed for any of them on most nights, though Cabo Wabo fills up on weekend evenings.
FAQ
Is Purple Reign still at the Tropicana?
No. The Tropicana closed permanently and was demolished. The show relocated to the V Theater at Planet Hollywood.
How long is the Purple Reign show?
75 minutes with no intermission. Use the restroom and get your drinks before you sit down.
Are children allowed?
The age minimum is 16. The venue enforces this at the door.
Is there a dress code?
No formal dress code. Casual works fine. You will see everything from jeans and sneakers to full purple sequin outfits from fans who take the tribute seriously.
When should I arrive?
Doors open at 7:30 PM for an 8:30 PM show. On Friday and Saturday nights the Miracle Mile Shops get crowded, and the box office line moves slowly. Arriving by 7:45 PM gives you time to pick up tickets, grab a drink, and find a seat without rushing.
