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.
There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

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.
