Vegas in January, Agenda, Next Steps

[Daisalana 33]

I have seen Mystere 4 times, "O" 3 times, and Love once when we went for our wedding-- but definitely going back when we go again (hopefully this trip!!).

Mystere is good, especially if you've never seen it.. and the soundtrack- love it.

O is a lot of fun, how they do it over the Water that disappears and reappears. Music isn't as good IMO, but it's worth seeing.

But then there's LOVE. Wow. I've never had a more positive experience at a show (and I go to a lot of shows, even local ones!!). You really feel like you've been zapped back in time, and the whole audience is engulfed into the show. Feels like you need a doobie just for being there.. and by the end, you feel like you had a few

I really loved LOVE.. and I listen to the soundtrack all the time. It's so surreal and you can sing along (unlike the other cirque's). And there's parts where they took real recordings of the boys talking and clipped it together, and some part it's John Lennon talking and you fade into "Yesterday".. I got a little teary eyed.

Anyway, no more rambling.. it was awesome though.

We did a week of shows for our honeymoon, and we also went to Uncensored Hypnotist Anthony Cools at Paris.. if you're open-minded, that's a riot.

We went to the medieval times kind of thing (dinner & show) at Excalibur.. I believe I got food poisoning from them, and the show was hokey. Never goin' back to that one!

Lastly, we saw the Blue Man Group at Venetian.. we saw BMG when they came to our town, and it was great music and fun...so we decided to see the non-travelling in Vegas. It was set up more like a show, than a concert.. but it was still great.. and we were front row "Poncho" seats, so it was a little messy. Then they toilet paper the ENTIRE audience, which interestingly enough--is FUN.

So that's my run down of shows I have opinions on.

We met at Sahara so we stayed there a time or two, Caesar's Palace (This was my favorite, the top suites), but we get rooms at Harrah's properties for free, and we've also tried Bally's (they are NOT clean, I did not like staying there), Paris.. right by Bally's too, so I liked staying at Paris but their casino is very high-limit on weekends, so you can walk across to Bally's cheaper casinos... and Rio.. Rio is a party scene, I didn't like it all that much, but the upside is you can play slots and watch a little showgirl type show all at the same time.. and then turn around and go up the elevator to your room.

Terri - Offended might be too strong a word. I have been to Vegas a couple of times and have had a great time there. Just hadn't been to T.I. before. I'm sure it will be GREAT and am hoping I can get there.

One thing's for sure, Ghost, you can't go to Las Vegas without seeing a lot of skin everywhere!!! Even our room key had a naked lady on it (back view). There are vans that drive around town with ads to 'bring the ladies to you'...i think it's got a bedroom in the back! LOL Taxi's are carrying some ad that have 5 ladies bent over wearing thongs. Lovely. Nope...I don't recommend going to Vegas if you're easily offended.

..and dont pick up the cards/flyers/magazines that the people on the street are handing out. :embarassed:

Bump bump bump

This is more than a bump. It's getting closer and we really need to try to wrap our heads and hands around this.

Who is still on board?

[losingjusme 12]

i was just talking w/ DH about this last week. we are about an 85% yes. only issue we really have is child care and i'm too chicken to ask my parents...

[TheGh0st 9]

My DH is slowly coming around but he's a big "waffler" His siblings call him Mr Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda. He has NO interest in coming which suits me fine, I want to SHOP, SHOP, SHOP (and DANCE) neither of which he likes. But he is interested in going on a short road trip with one of his brothers. So he has been toying with "letting" me go in a kind of quid pro quo.

I know I can go if I really want no matter what he says but some battles really aren't worth fighting if you know what I mean.

[OH Juli 15]

Diane,

I understand about battles. I would love to have you join us. (hubby too!). You're such a LBT celebrity with the TT and all, getting you to be part of the party would be such a coup.

Who knew there were LBT celebrities? Ha, but you know

Dancing!!!!!!!!!!! I love dancing!!!!!!!!

I am still down to go. Are we all planing to stay at the same place or are we going to just meet up somewhere?

[Lori Ann 0]

Juli,

I am definitely down for going along with my husband...I am so excited......can hardly wait to meet other LBT and put some faces with some names. I look forward to seeing everyone in Vegas.

[OH Juli 15]

You can stay where you like but the "group" who ever or how ever large it may be is satying at Treasure Island. I know there are cheaper places to stay, but it's what we decided awhile ago.

[Suzzzie. 3]

no child care available ... looks like i may be going solo ...

LJM - Just thought I'd pipe in here and say that Circus Circus DOES do child care - or at least they did a couple of years ago when my cousin and her family went! Its a bit further down the strip from TI, but not too bad!!

I don't know if I'll be able to go with ya'll!!! I want to! I think my June '07 group is planning a march/april trip out there.

Funny how we all get skinny and plan a weekend in Sin City! Lol!

[OH Juli 15]

I made reservations today for January 18th -21st at Treasure Island.

It's about that time.........

LAdies, whoever does go I hope you all have a blast. Sadly (well not too sadly) I will be having our annual girls weekend for Tip Up Town with some of my girlfriends. Definitely cheaper than Vegas and way drunker. But I will be thinking of you guys having fun and I will be a bit jealous since I have never been to Vegas before.

[Vegaswildflower 0]

I cant wait for you guys to get here, Im taking vacation days to hang out and just have a blast with you!!
