The pit of the theater is folding chairs. They confiscate tiny flashlights, but allow all manner of distracting cell phone usage in the auditorium, so leave your tiny flashlights at home & blind your neighbors with your cell phone screens & flashlights.
There is another bag check to get into the auditorium. The interior of the casino is not pretty or hip, so try to walk through as quickly as possible. This is like loud traffic noise & just 2 decibles below hearing damage level, so very loud - an assault on your eardrums. The casino has horrible music playing at a constant level of 78 decibles. We stood behind several men who looked like the muscle for a South American drug lord, straight from central casting. You walk through the casino to get to the auditorium, so be prepared to go through a bag search & cursory ID check. If you were wondering what kind of place has multiple males emptying their bladders in a parking lot every night, you'll understand all when you see the scary crowd inside. Remember to take your shoes off outside your house to sanitize the soles when you get home. To get into the auditorium you must park in their parking structure & walk across the extremely smelly urine sprayed parking lot which reaks & is unsanitary.
We went to a concert at the MGM auditorium at National Harbor.
