We enjoy watching BattleBots on TV and I see that the BattleBot arena is located behind Paris on Koval.

Apparently there are daily shows open to the public.

My question: have any of you gone there and how was the experience and the quality of the competition?

It has betting potential.

I want to see (what do they call it in wrestling?) a free-for-all death match with a whole bunch of them at one time. Or maybe like demolition derby, except with axes, drills, hammers and flamethrowers.

Just the other day I drove by and was wondering about it(wasn't even sure if it was still open). I may check it out.

I think the term you are looking for is "battle royal" (sometimes spelled "battle royale," but I have always heard the second word pronounced "royal").

I have enjoyed the TV show too, listening to the commentators is a hoot.

The ticket prices seemed high even by Vegas standards.

And Ticketmaster adds another $ 23 in fees, FOR WHAT ? ? ?

I saw this show on House Seats a few times. I think it is in the same studio they filmed Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

"Apparently there are daily shows open to the public." I took that as meaning free. I'm interested, but not interested enough to pay for it.
