Motown Brunch in Las Vegas at The Modern Showrooms
Motown Sundays just got louder. This Sunday-morning Vegas event turns brunch into a full-on sing-along, with Motown show performances paired with a brunch buffet at Alexis Park Resort / The Modern Showrooms area. The big draw is the live cast with familiar Motown hits and crowd interaction, and the breakfast spread is a solid match for the price. The one thing to think about is that the food quality can be a bit uneven (warmth and consistency come up), so go for the show as your main event.
This is a good “one-two punch” plan for a Vegas weekend: you eat first, then you clap and stomp through classic tracks by Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, and The Temptations. If you’re not a Motown fan—or you hate sharing a room with a cheerful crowd—this might feel a bit too themed. But if you like your entertainment lively and your meal practical, it’s an easy Sunday.

Motown Brunch in Las Vegas: the Sunday 11 a.m. value plan

If your Vegas trip has one day that starts slower, this event gives you a structured reason to enjoy it. The show begins at 11:00 a.m., and the overall experience runs about two hours. That timing is perfect when you want entertainment without burning your whole day on the Strip.
What I like about this concept is that it’s built around a real meal, not a token snack. You get a full buffet spread while the performance is happening, which is a smart fit for couples, small groups, and even families who want an early activity that still feels like a Vegas night out.
One practical upside: parking is included at Alexis Park Resort. In Vegas, that matters. Even if you’re comfortable driving, the time you spend hunting for a spot can eat into the fun, especially on a Sunday morning.
The buffet at Alexis Park Resort: what you actually get

Let’s talk about the food, because this is a brunch ticket—not just a show ticket with food somewhere in the building. The buffet includes breakfast items you can recognize instantly. You’ll find waffles or pancakes with butter and maple syrup, breakfast potatoes, applewood smoked bacon, pork sausage, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, mini pastries, and a coffee station.
That menu is straightforward, which I consider a plus. This is not the kind of place where you spend time hunting for what you want. You can fill up on the basics quickly, then focus on the show.
Now, here’s the nuance: reviews include some variety beyond the core list, like fried chicken, mac and cheese, sweet potato bites, salad, and even couscous with veggies and vinaigrette. The exact mix can vary, but the overall takeaway is that you’re not limited to only the first plate—there’s usually more than just waffles and eggs.
Possible drawback? A few diners flagged that the food was barely warm. If that would bother you, plan to go early in the buffet line so items are closer to their best temperature. Also, keep your expectations realistic: buffet food is buffet food. You’re paying for a live Motown performance plus brunch, and the show is where the money really lands.
Drink situation: coffee and water, bar costs extra
Coffee and water are included. Alcoholic drinks are available for purchase, and a full bar is part of the deal—but it’s not included in the base price. So if you’re planning to drink cocktails, factor that into your budget. It’s a common surprise for people who assume brunch means bottomless drinks.

The live Motown show: EC Adams and cast in action

The reason most people book Motown Brunch is the music. This isn’t background entertainment. It’s a full live performance with an all-hits feel and a cast that clearly knows how to work a room.
You’ll see EC Adams and the cast performing Motown favorites, and the show is brought to you by the producers of All Motown, directed by Tonja Jones. Those credits matter because they explain why the performance feels polished and intentional, not like a random cover-band situation.
What comes through in the vibe is energy. Multiple people highlight that the singers are engaging, with humor and interaction, plus a sing-along atmosphere where you’ll likely be clapping and stomping your feet. If you want “sit quietly and admire,” this isn’t that kind of show. The goal is participation.
Song choices are also a big part of the appeal. People specifically call out familiar tunes and Motown-era artists ranging from Michael Jackson to Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, and The Temptations. That breadth helps because your group can be a mix of Motown lovers and pop fans who just want recognizable hooks.
Balanced note: not every performer is described as equally strong. A few mentions point to one singer being flat or parts of the show landing as just okay. In a live show, that can happen. Still, the overall message is that the performance is talented and energetic, and the crowd interaction is a key reason people leave happy.
Seating options and how to choose the right spot

One detail I appreciate: you can choose from three seating options. That’s not just marketing fluff. Seating can completely change how you experience a music show—especially when the cast is performing in a way that invites audience engagement.
When you pick your option, think about two things:
- How close you want to be to the stage and performers.
- Whether you prefer the best view or the easiest sightlines for dancing, clapping, and crowd participation.
You won’t want to gamble on this if you care about seeing faces clearly or if you’re going with a group where people want different levels of proximity. If you’re booking early, choose based on your group’s preferences, not just price.
Parking and timing at Alexis Park Resort: making it easy for your Sunday

Vegas is good at getting people from hotel to show, but it can be chaotic when you add parking and crowds. This event is designed to cut through that friction.
Parking at Alexis Park Resort is included with your ticket. That reduces a big headache for anyone who doesn’t want to deal with street parking, garages, or last-minute decisions. If you’re driving in—especially with a family or a group—this is one of those “small” inclusions that actually feels big.
The event starts at 11:00 a.m. and runs about two hours. That timing also helps you plan the rest of your day. You can treat this like your main morning activity, then head back to your hotel to shower and cool off, or keep exploring after.
One more logistical plus: it’s near public transportation. So if you’d rather avoid driving once you get to town, you have that option.
And yes, it’s a mobile ticket. Bring your confirmation on your phone, or make sure you can access it easily. It’s the kind of detail that sounds minor until you’re standing in front of a venue with poor signal.
Price and value: is $58.95 a good deal?

At $58.95 per person, this is not the cheapest brunch option in Vegas—but it is one of the more sensible ways to buy entertainment and breakfast together in the same ticket.
Here’s the value math that matters:
- You get show tickets plus brunch.
- You get parking included.
- Coffee and water are part of the price.
- Alcohol is optional and costs extra, which is typical for events like this.
For many people, the “worth it” feeling comes less from the buffet being fancy and more from the performance being genuinely entertaining. Several comments focus on the show as the main event and call it a must-do if you like Motown. That’s your cue to align your expectations.
So when does this price feel like a win?
- If you like Motown music and want a lively, interactive performance.
- If you’re driving and want parking taken care of.
- If you want a Sunday activity that doesn’t steal your entire day.
When might it feel overpriced?
- If you mainly care about the brunch food itself and want top-tier restaurant quality.
- If you’re trying to keep strict alcohol costs down, because drinks are extra.
- If your group is sensitive to food temperature since buffet items can vary.
Who should book Motown Brunch, and who should skip

This works best for:
- Couples who want something fun and themed without committing to a late-night show.
- Groups who enjoy audience participation and sing-alongs.
- Motown fans who want familiar songs played with energy.
- People who want “one ticket, two parts” value.
It may not be ideal if:
- You don’t like themed entertainment or prefer quiet, low-key experiences.
- Your group has strong food priorities and expects hot buffet perfection every time.
- You’re the type who wants free drinks included (coffee and water are included; the bar is extra).
Tips to get the most out of your Sunday morning

You’ll enjoy this more if you treat it like a show first and a brunch second. Here are a few practical ways to get good results from a two-hour format:
Plan your pace. The experience moves at show speed. Get your plate early so you’re not scrambling while songs start.
Keep an eye on your drinks budget. Coffee and water are included, so decide early if you’re going to add anything from the bar.
Choose seating based on your group style. If you want the full participation vibe, don’t pick the farthest option just because it’s tempting. If your group is more cautious, choose the option that gives the easiest view for watching and joining in without crowd stress.
Go in expecting Motown energy. The best moments tend to be the ones where you clap, sing, and react with the room.
Should you book Motown Brunch at The Modern Showrooms?
I’d book this if Motown music is on your list and you want a Sunday plan that feels like Vegas without waiting until the evening. The live performance is the star, and when you add brunch and free parking into one ticket, it turns into a practical piece of your itinerary.
Skip it if you’re chasing gourmet brunch quality above all else or if you’re picky about buffet temperature and consistency. In that case, you’ll likely be happier with a meal-focused brunch elsewhere and a separate evening show.
If your group includes mixed tastes, this can still work because the set leans on widely known Motown-era hits and the cast performance keeps things moving. Just go in with the right expectation: this is a morning show that happens to come with brunch, not the other way around.
