About Wastin’ Away
Margaritaville, a long way from the ocean and somehow none the worse for it.
Wastin’ Away is a poolside Jimmy Buffett tribute at the Athena Showlounge inside Alexis Park Resort. "Margaritaville," "Cheeseburger in Paradise," "Fins," "Come Monday" — the Parrothead songbook, played for a room that came to have a good time.

Spike's Take
6:30 PM is the detail that matters. It's the earliest curtain of anything at Alexis Park, which makes this the rare Vegas show you can do before dinner instead of instead of it. $40, three nights a week, and the whole thing is engineered for a good mood. Bring the Hawaiian shirt; you will not be the only one.
Buffett's catalogue has never really been about the songs so much as the mood, and a resort with a pool and no casino floor turns out to be a better fit for that than a Strip theatre. An early 6:30 PM start makes it a comfortable pre-dinner show.

What to Expect
🍹 The Parrothead Songbook
"Margaritaville," "Cheeseburger in Paradise," "Fins," "Come Monday." The catalogue everyone knows the choruses to, played for a crowd that came to sing them.
🌴 A Poolside Mood
Buffett's music has always been about atmosphere more than virtuosity, and a no-casino resort with a pool suits it far better than a dark Strip theatre does.
🕡 An Early Curtain
6:30 PM — the earliest start of any show in the building. It's a rare Vegas show that fits before dinner rather than replacing it.
👕 Come Dressed for It
Hawaiian shirts are not merely tolerated. The room leans in, and it is considerably more fun if you do too.

🪑 Sweet Spot
The tables in the center of the showroom — the Sweet Spot. You're close to the stage, you've got room for a drink, and you're perfectly placed to get up and dance, which this room makes easy. For a show in a room this size, a table beats a row of seats every time. Book one and bring a group.
The two Athena reserved blocks directly in front of the stage — the closest seats to the cast. Great if you want to be right up on the performance and don't mind trading the table for proximity. A solid pick for superfans.
Booths 1 through 4 along the sides of the room — a more private, tucked-in option for a small group that wants its own space. You'll view the stage at a slight angle, but you get a dedicated booth and an easy spot to keep your party together.
General Admission at the back of the room — first-come, first-served seating and the value option. Arrive a little early for a better spot. Perfectly good for a budget-friendly night; if you want to be in the thick of it, upgrade to a table.
