BattleBots

4.6(490 reviews)$$Entertainment
🕑 1.5-2 hours including pre-show activities👶 Best for ages 6 and up. Elementary and middle-schoolers are typically at the perfect age to appreciate the engineering and excitement without being overwhelmed by the loud noises and intense action. Teens and robot-enthusiast kids will be absolutely thrilled. Parents should note the show can be very loud, so younger children (under 5) may find it intimidating, though hearing protection is provided.

About

BattleBots delivers heart-pounding live robot combat entertainment that brings the hit TV show to life at Horseshoe Las Vegas. Families sit arena-style as massive robots weighing up to 250 pounds battle head-to-head with spinning weapons, flamethrowers, and crushing power in an electrifying spectacle that's part sporting event, part engineering marvel. The up-close action and special effects create an unforgettable experience that appeals to kids fascinated by robots, technology, and competition.

Highlights

  • Watching 250-pound robots destroy each other with hammers, saws, and flamethrowers in live combat
  • Experiencing the loud crashes, sparks, and metal-on-metal impacts from arena seating
  • Meeting the robot builders and seeing the machines up close before and after battles
  • Witnessing the same robots and competitors featured on the popular TV show
  • The energetic announcer and dramatic presentation that keeps kids engaged throughout

Pro Tips

  1. 1.Book tickets in advance online as shows frequently sell out, especially during peak tourist seasons and weekends
  2. 2.Arrive 20-30 minutes early to grab better seats and explore the pre-show area where you can often see robots and meet builders
  3. 3.Hearing protection is provided but consider bringing your own comfortable ear protection for younger or noise-sensitive kids
  4. 4.Take advantage of photo opportunities with the robots before and after the show,kids love getting up close to these mechanical warriors
  5. 5.Check if any meet-and-greet sessions with robot builders are scheduled, as many are happy to talk about their creations with aspiring young engineers

Best Time to Visit

Evening shows (typically 7-8pm) create the best atmosphere with dramatic lighting effects, though weekend matinees are available and work better for families with younger kids who tire early. Weekday shows tend to be less crowded than weekends, making it easier to get closer views of the robots during pre-show mingling.

What to Know

Shows are held inside Horseshoe Las Vegas (formerly Bally's) with parking available in the hotel garage. Tickets typically range from $60-100+ per person depending on seating. The venue is indoor and climate-controlled with concessions available, though prices reflect typical Las Vegas venue costs.

Seasonal Notes

BattleBots operates year-round as an indoor Las Vegas attraction, though show schedules vary and there may be dark days between performance runs. Summer and major holiday periods are peak times with more frequent shows. Always check the official schedule before planning your visit as the show may go on tour or have production breaks.

Nearby Eats

Walking distance to In-N-Out Burger on Linq Lane (a Vegas kid favorite), or head to the casual restaurants inside Horseshoe Las Vegas and neighboring casinos like The Linq, which has options like Hash House A Go Go with massive portions kids can share and a fun atmosphere.
