Sunday brunch, with soul.

This is a 2-hour Motown brunch in Las Vegas built around live music, not just background noise. The big draw for me is the chance to hear EC Adams and the cast sing classic Motown-style hits while you eat, plus the food is handled by executive chef Joel Ott. One thing to keep in mind: a couple of experiences mention the brunch food quality was hit-or-miss, and one person said they did not realize it was a buffet style, so it’s worth going in with the right expectations.

I also like the setting: the Modern Showrooms at Alexis Park Resort Hotel makes it feel like an event, not a random meal in a hotel corridor. You’ll want to dress smart casual, arrive about 15 minutes early, and plan your timing carefully—at least one booking reported a 45-minute delay, so don’t schedule something time-critical right after.

If you’re paying $58 per person, I treat it as a bundled deal: live performance plus brunch. Alcohol is available for purchase (so the base price stays focused on food + show), and you won’t have hotel pickup—show up on your own.

Key things to know before you go

• Live Motown performance with EC Adams and the cast during your meal
• Chef Joel Ott brunch designed to match the show’s rhythm and mood
• Modern Showrooms at Alexis Park as the main atmosphere-builder
• Mimosa or Bloody Mary available for purchase if you want brunch-with-a-beat
• Smart casual dress code and a “show-ready” 15-minute early arrival
• No children under 10, so it’s more adult-leaning Sunday fun

Modern Showrooms at Alexis Park: the easy start to your Sunday

This event meets at the Modern Showrooms at Alexis Park Resort Hotel. That matters because it keeps everything in one place: you’re not bouncing between venues, and you’re not losing time to complicated transfers. You also won’t get hotel pickup or drop-off, so I’d plan your own ride and arrive with a little buffer.

The event is scheduled for 2 hours, and the vibe is “smart casual.” Translation: skip the gym gear, skip the dressy evening stuff. Think clean, comfortable, and ready to sit for a performance.

Arriving 15 minutes early is not just etiquette—it’s how you avoid getting seated late and missing the first moments of the show. One practical tip: silence your phone and set your flash to off. Flash photography is not allowed, and it’s an easy way to stay on the safe side.

The Motown show: EC Adams and the cast during your meal

The whole experience is built around live music with a Motown feel. You’re coming for the kind of singing that makes you tap your foot without trying. The highlights call out an electrifying performance by the well-known EC Adams and cast, and the event is presented by the producers of All Motown, directed by Tonja Jones.

What I like about doing a show in a brunch format is the pacing: you’re not sitting through a two-hour concert with your only task being to watch. You get to eat, then listen, then eat again as the set moves along. That keeps the energy up and makes the time feel shorter.

From the feedback, the performance side gets strong praise—especially voices and musical impact. One verified booking specifically called out amazing voices. Another highlighted the talent level of the singers and said the music was inmejorable (in other words, really memorable).

There’s also a social element. At least one reviewer mentioned interaction with the performers that their group enjoyed. That can make it feel less like a one-way show and more like you’re part of the Sunday morning experience.

One caution: if you have another major event on the same day, build slack. A review noted the event was delayed about 45 minutes, and the person had to leave early and missed most of the show. Delays don’t have to ruin your day, but you should avoid planning a tight handoff to something important.

Chef Joel Ott brunch: what you’re really eating

The other half of the ticket is the food. The brunch is by executive chef Joel Ott, and the idea is that the menu complements the soulful music rather than overpowering it.

Here’s what I’d tell you to expect, based on how the experience is described and how people reacted: you’re getting classic brunch-style dishes with an upscale touch. The goal is a Sunday morning spread that feels intentional. Some feedback was very positive about the food and drinks, calling out that the food and alcohol were very good.

At the same time, not everyone loved it. One verified booking said the food was disgusting and that the brunch should be revamped. Another review said the food could be better and also mentioned they did not know it was a buffet. That suggests two practical things:

• Quality perception can vary, so don’t assume it will be world-class on every plate.
• Confirm the service style when you book. If you’re expecting plated dining, you may be surprised. If you’re fine with buffet-style brunch, you’ll probably feel more flexible.

If you’re the type who cares deeply about food quality at live events, I’d go with the mindset that this is primarily a show-first brunch. You’re paying for music you’ll remember, and the meal is there to keep you comfortable while you enjoy it.

Drinks, alcohol, and the $58 value question

The price is $58 per person, and the included parts are clear: live Motown music plus brunch by Chef Joel Ott. Alcohol is not included, but mimosa or Bloody Mary are available for purchase.

That’s actually helpful for budgeting. If you’re trying to keep your total costs under control, you can treat drinks as optional extras rather than mandatory add-ons. On the other hand, if you like your brunch with a cocktail, expect your bill to climb once you order.

So is it good value? I think it can be, because you’re buying two things at once:

1) live entertainment with recognizable Motown energy, and

2) a brunch meal from a named chef.

If you’re coming in mainly for the food, you might feel let down—at least a couple of reviews pointed to issues with the meal. If you’re coming for the performance and want a comfortable place to eat while you hear it, this format often lands better.

One more practical angle: the ticket is short—two hours. That makes it easier to fit into a busy Vegas weekend without losing half a day.

Dress code, venue rules, and small things that affect your comfort

The rules are simple, and it’s worth respecting them so you don’t waste your time:

• Smart casual dress code
• Arrive 15 minutes early
• No smoking
• No flash photography
• Wheelchair accessible

No flash photography is the one that can catch people off guard. If you take photos with your phone, just avoid turning on the flash. Otherwise, you’re good.

Also, keep in mind the event is not suitable for children under 10. That likely reflects the adult-oriented show setting and how the performance pacing works. If you’re traveling with kids, double-check age fit before you commit.

Timing and how to plan your day around the show

This is where I’d use your common sense planning. It’s a Sunday morning event with a 2-hour runtime, and that’s helpful because you’ll usually know what you’re committing to.

But don’t plan the rest of your schedule like it’s a perfectly timed airline departure. One verified booking reported a 45-minute delay, and that caused them to miss most of the performance because they had to get to another show at the Sphere.

My advice: treat this like an anchor activity. If you have a second event the same day, give yourself a buffer of at least a little margin—more if it’s something you absolutely can’t miss.

Who should book Motown Brunch in Las Vegas

I’d point this toward people who want an organized, feel-good Sunday experience that mixes music and meal.

You’ll likely enjoy it if:

• you like Motown-style live music and vocal performances
• you want something more special than a typical brunch spot
• you’re looking for a sit-down event in a hotel showroom setting
• you want to add a little Vegas culture without getting stuck in a late-night schedule

I’d think twice if:

• you’re extremely food-focused and need consistently outstanding brunch
• you hate buffet-style service and don’t want to be surprised (one review mentioned they were not aware it was buffet-style)
• you’re traveling with kids under 10
• you’re scheduling another time-critical event immediately after the brunch

Should you book this Motown Brunch?

I’d book it if your priority is the music—specifically live Motown energy with EC Adams and the cast—plus a respectable brunch from Chef Joel Ott. The best versions of this experience sound like it hits on both fronts: strong vocals, a fun show atmosphere, and food and drinks that do their job.

I wouldn’t book it if you’re only chasing the meal. A couple of reviews were strongly negative about the food quality, so your enjoyment may depend more on the show than the plate in front of you. Also, if you’re juggling other plans that require perfect timing, build in extra slack since at least one booking reported a significant delay.

If you want a Sunday plan that feels like an event, not just a meal, this can be a fun way to start your day in Vegas.
