Shrine of the Most Holy Redeemer

We celebrate Mass here every time we come to Vegas. They have daily Mass and many times for Sundays. This place is an Oasis in «Sin City»!
Nice gift shop too, and it is a nice short walk from the Luxor area. They do have a big parking lot in case you are driving. Thanks for reading.

A decent church to attend mass at the north end of the strip when you’re in town and need to go.
Easy to get to because of it’s location, and there is plenty of parking.
My wife has been coming here for years on their annual family Vegas trips in the past, and she mentioned how it seemed to start looking run down lately. I can’t imagine how tough it is for a Vegas parish to consistently get a solid number of local parishioners. The place seems like it caters to the visiting masses on the regular, but I definitely pray for the community that it grows and thrives and continues to provide us and those who are seeing some spiritual sanctuary. The church has some beautiful sculptures of the stations of the cross.
Our cantor for the last mass we went to a while back sounded like an old Tony Bennett; great voice and played piano and I was almost expecting a «If you would like to hear more, I will be at the Moonlight Lounge Monday through Friday at 8PM.» he he he.
But again, it was a good mass and definitely coming back on future trips.

Great location to get your mass on.

Hanging out with God during a trip to Vegas seems like an obvious necessity, regardless of whether or not you are gambling. Attended both the Sunday service as well as Christmas day mass. There is an overwhelming feeling of friendship and genuine hospitality here which is just what you want from any church! Conveniently located a block from the strip, a gorgeous place to worship

Beautiful church with a magnificent display of large statues adorning the sides of the altar. I can see why tourists would visit this shrine. It also has a small gift shop to buy your Catholic essentials and souvenirs.
They don’t have a wide wide selection of wooden rosaries though. I was hoping that they would have more designs.
But the place is worth a visit especially when it comes to attending Holy Sunday mass. So try to catch mass while on vacation.

Great location right off the strip, walking distance from Excalibur & Luxor. Several Mass times available. Dress is casual or regular Sunday best, whichever you prefer. Music was wonderful and ushers friendly.

This is where we go to church when we visit Las Vegas. It is a beautiful modern looking church. I even heard they accept casino chips for offertory. I have never seen this so I cannot confirm if this is true.
It is located just off the Strip close to Mandalay Bay, Luxor, and Excalibur. There is plenty of parking for everyone. There are many Mass times available to attend. They have a nice gift shop which is closed during mass, but opens after each mass has ended.
We always enjoy coming here when we are in «Sin City», and we will continue to whenever we are in town on weekends.

This is a good place to go and fill welcome every time.
I know I reviewed the Shrine once but I don’t think I said enough.
this is a beautiful relaxing place to think and to listen to God. to hear the joy God wants you to fill.

Officially, this is a shrine and not a parish. There are no weddings or baptisms performed here, although the sacrament of confession is available at this church.
If you have ever seen the movie Hangover, you actually see this church in the background as the guys are going through their WORST shenanigans, with Luxor hotel to one side of the screen. Tsk-​Tsk.
Located at the end of the strip.
Saturday Vigil masses at 4 pm and 5:30 pm.
Sunday: 8 am, 9:30 am, 11 am, 12:30 pm, 4 pm, 5:30 pm
I’m very grateful that this church is there to serve the many tourists as well as locals. Heaven knows the excesses of Vegas need a spiritual antidote.
Thankfully, many who have found their way into this Shrine know to be modest in dress, the most revealing outfits are basically tank tops and shorts and sandals.
Beautiful and cool interior. The Altar is decorated with a lovely mosaic, with tall stained glass slit windows letting in filtered light. Several lovely sculptures of scenes from the life of Our Lord adorn both sides of the church.
Donations to light a prayer candle (they are actually electronic candles — push a switch to light one)
Gift shop on the premises. The Shrine depends on donations from visitors and locals for its upkeep. Please be generous, so Catholics and other worshipers will have a refuge of prayer and silence from the cacophony and chaos that is Las Vegas.

This location was created with the intention to welcoming tourists while staying on the strip. I was at the MGM, so it was a short 10 minute walk south from where I was. 10 minutes isn’t long but in 100 degree weather, it’s a little like 40 days and 40 nights. This mass appears more casual than the average services I’ve been to. Coming in with shorts and sandals is no problem.
Not sure if it makes sense, but a shuttle from the resorts on Sunday would be so useful.

A live confession of me reviewing this church? :) This church is located on the Strip, good for out of towners looking to share their thoughts with God when traveling.
I should begin that I confess that I make my way to come to this particular church during Lent/​Holy Week/​Easter/​Christmas.
Its a very large church so it usually can seat everyone attending Mass on Easter or Christmas, it is beautifully decorated and they have daily Mass at various times throughout the day. It is actually posted out in the front of the church. Keep in mind that this is not a Parish.
I have had several different Priests that lead Mass, and most of them leave you with things to think about of why you are there to attend Mass. BUT I did experience one priest here that chops the regular one hour mass to 30 minutes, I mean he speeds through mass. We were late to midnight mass for Christmas (I know bad.) about 15 minutes, and they were already doing Eucharist and then about 10 minutes later, mass ended. So we came back in the morning because we felt we missed out!
That was funny to me, but something I wanted to share with my fellow worshipers.
Peace be with you all.

I find it strange to see the Shrine on Unilocal… but I guess anything can be rated!
I live in Las Vegas and am a practicing Catholic. I love going to the Shrine (typically on Fridays when I am free) for Daily Mass. They have it every day conveniently at 12:10pm so it’s not too early! Fantastic! Plus, I love that it’s literally ON the Strip. What a perfect place to welcome people that have no place to go, have gotten lost in this cities appealing madness, or just want to think.
**For Daily Mass there is typically a different priest from different parishes across Vegas or a visiting priest from other places so you’re going to get a different kind of style every Mass.
**Confession is conveniently at 11:30am on Monday– Friday (Saturday 2:30 — 3:30).
Again, you may not get the same priest because whomever is saying the Mass says Confession on that day.
**After Daily Mass there is Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. I think it lasts till 4:30 but that’s really convenient to have some time in Adoration right after Mass so I’ll usually stay for awhile.
**The Shrine has beautiful sculptures and artwork. Being a Catholic convert, I feel like this place got stuck between being the old and traditional type of Church and the more modern, contemporary kind. I like it though. There is a little corner for Mary on one side and also an area for St. Peregrine (patron saint of cancer).
**The chapel is one of my favorite ones in Las Vegas. It’s absolutely beautiful with a mural that wraps around the tabernacle with a lot of Saints and great Catholic role models.
Everyday that I go, this place has a few tourists. There may be 20 – 40 people that attend Daily Mass. But there are some great regulars that are very kind and sweet :)
Gift shop is a regular Catholic gift shop. They do have a bit bigger selection of books than a lot of gift shops and a few more“touristy” items but you’re definitely NOT gonna get Jesus poker chips… (seriously?! It’s still the Church…)
Love the Shrine!
BTW if you’re lookin to get married here (or baptized), sorry but you cannot. Remember that the Shrine is a shrine– it’s designated as a national sanctuary of pilgrimage and prayer– not a parish church. Just FYI!

I go to church every Sunday regardless of what city I’m in, and this church is extremely close and convenient to get to if you’re staying on the south end of the Strip (Luxor, Mandalay, MGM, etc). It’s a traditional-​looking church with faux-​bronze sculptures and amazingly comfortable seats. I still think Guardian Angel Cathedral on the north end of the Strip is more attractively modern-​looking, but Holy Redeemer feels closer to home.

Going to church in Sin City is always a challenge (between not waking up from the drunken nights and having to walk almost a mile each way in the 100+ degree heat), but this is my second trip to the Shrine of the Most Holy Redeemer and I have to say – its my go to church in Vegas.
I was visiting the City with some friends this past weekend and we decided to make the trek out here. I frequent the 7:30am mass back home, so I figured the 8am mass at the Shrine would be no problem. We felt even smarter when we realized that its not that hot when you leave your hotel at 7:40am! Whoo hoo!
The church itself is very nice and modern. The priest during our mass was a visiting priest, and we missed his introduction (unfortunately =/​). I liked that he threw in some of the old (pre-​Vatican II) Latin in the mix. And he did a great job explaining why we do the things we do (*dances*).
Overall, great experience. Now if they could just offer shuttle service to the Monte Carlo ;) hahaha

I’ve been to church. I don’t think anyone knows this, I don’t think I ever talked about it. I went not for a wedding (I’ve been to plenty of chapels, though), nor a funeral.
What reminded me was a book I recently read, a slip of paper fell out of it. When I worked on the strip, my office was given information slips to hand out to those who asked. Not only did they do some serious sinning, but were actually regretful about it and wanted to get to a church ASAP.
Now, I’m an atheist for a few simple reasons, one is just inconsistencies that are in their own texts and practices. George Carlin covered most of it. War is the second reason. I imagine we’d be overpopulated and resources spent a few generations earlier if all the people lived without holy wars.
Also, I think one should believe in one’s self. It’s something I have caught myself not doing before. I’m even consistent with my beliefs in my darkest hours. I have heard it’s a cheat or a loophole, because whatever creator there is, is in me, right? Perhaps, but I get to live by my own code of honor. Even in motorcycle accidents, I survived several somehow, without praying.
Remember the Las Vegas show on NBC? There were many computer generated images of the Montecito on the strip. Most establishing shots of the casino placed it in the open plot of land down the street, south along the east side of Giles St. For a time, I even parked out in the paved lot temporarily when I was an employee for Luxor.
There were more people than I would think attending mass. I wished it were more like an AA meeting where people announced why they were there, I’d have to eyeball a guess. There were haggard people. Which lost money gambling? Who went to bed with someone while their spouse was back home? What was big enough to go to church for?
I went for inspiration, but not in the traditional sense. I had to observe people. I didn’t have to worry about helping anyone here, that’s what the church was for. I was free to observe, think and analyze, which is not critiquing. I’m still respectful. I didn’t go to judge. I had questions, I wanted to go where people had a chance of finding answers. I listened to the service. I talked with a few people, small talk.
Whatever each of those people did, the left with more comfort, perhaps felt forgiveness. I went with problems I couldn’t figure out. Going to church was a way I could think of to be near the Strip, yet leave it in some kinda mental cushion, so I could think.
It helped.

A lot of masses here to choose from. There’s even a 4:00 one, which is very convenient on a Sunday when you want to get out of town. The main physical feature here is a lot of large bronze statues that are pretty cool.
Last time I was here there was an older bearded priest with a east coast accent. He was excellent, very holy.

Caveat lector: I attended a Sunday mass here at 8am and the celebrant was the Monsignor. As I was a tourist, I do not know how typical my Mass experience was.
The shrine itself is a large and newish building. It has the «conference room» feeling of many post-​Vatican 2 churches. The pews however were extremely comfortable. Also, there are eight life-​sized bronze statue scenes from the ministry of Our Lord. These are rather beautiful and impressive and art-​loving Catholics should consider making a stop here just to view them.
The congregation was mostly made up with tourists and so everyone was equally both out of place and welcoming.
Coming from a liberal parish, the Mass setting seemed to be on the traditional side: the Sanctus and Agnus Dei were in Latin. There was also much incense and the Monsignor did not offer the cup of Christ’s blood to the congregation.
The Monsignor is hard to describe. He reminded me of the Latin proverb «festina lente»: make haste slowly. He spoke rapidly and gave a brief sermon, but it didn’t feel as rushed as it may have been. Finally, he has a hard-​to-​place accent that made him sound like an American version of Alec Guinness.

Holiness extended! Must I say that church holy mass hours have been changed. New scheduled hours on Sundays at 8 a.m., 9:30a.m., 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 4 p.m., & 5:30 p.m. Change is good. Additions, additions. See these, three Sunday afternoon masses. On Saturdays, mass hours are 4 p.m., & 5:30 p.m. The daily mass from Mondays to Fridays is 12:10 p.m. And if feeling very sorry for being bad… er, sinful (Confession) and want to not do wrong again are Mondays to Fridays at 11:30 a.m. to 12 noon, and on Saturdays at 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. Whew! that’s more times for attending and more chances to skip it for the next schedule… oh, be good! Visits are always empowering and uplifting… a feel good.

I suppose that I should start off by confessing that I only went here for two reasons: 1) My churchgoing parents were in town for Christmas and insisted we all go to mass together, and 2) I really wanted one of the Jesus poker chips I had read about in the tourist guide books.
The church itself is very large. In fact, it is supposedly the largest in Nevada. It is also on the modern side, but old enough to have a retro feel. Very easy parking and accessibility.
This particular church, due in no small part to its location (practically on the Strip, across from the Luxor), caters to tourists. When the priest asked for all the tourists to raise their hands, 99% of the hands went up. It’s a very warm and welcoming parish.
There is also a lot of great art here. Be sure to check out the chapel. There is a 200 yr old statue of St. Joseph and the child Jesus.
After mass (which was very well done), I eagerly made my way to the gift shop. But alas, I was bitterly disappointed when there were no Jesus poker chips to be found.

I go to this church every time I’m in vegas! It’s really near the strip and walkable. I’m pretty sure this church is ballin’. I mean think about you win in vegas and then go thank god, and put down a fat donation when the ushers come around for collection, since your in such a good mood. On another note the church is clean and looks like a cathedral since it’s soo big! Parking is great and it’s easy to find. Oh yea and I met Jasmine Trias here. My advice if you’re in vegas go to church here, its near the strip, across the street from luxor, the pyramid shaped hotel.
