The short answer is no and here’s why.
You cannot use your voucher at the venue, vouchers can only be redeemed online where you can opt for either dinner and show or show only.
You can however put your voucher towards a dinner and show and then pay the difference, but you cannot just have dinner at Flamingos Live without the show. Just having dinner at Flamingos Live is not how the venue runs.
All voucher bookings must be made online and are not redeemable in person at the venue.
Our unwavering commitment to exquisite food and exceptional entertainment ensures that every outing is an unforgettable dinner and show experience.
