Las Vegas bound

<font color=blue>"For a show I recommend the Siegfried & Roy show at Mirage."</font color=blue>

I agree with the Siegried & Roy Show. It's awesome. But be careful what seats you ask for. When we were there last (about 8 years ago), we went with another couple. My buddy and I decided to surprise the wives, so we sprung for $75.00 per seat tickets. These seats were inside the ramp that goes around the front of the stage. We thought the wives would get a real kick out of being that close to all the action. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Well, we were close to the action alright! In one part of the show, they walk an elephant around this ramp, and just as they were going by, he let loose with a "stream" that splattered all over the wives (they were sitting on the side by the ramp)!! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif Needless to say, they were not real happy with us. /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif

What can I say? They didn't warn us when we bought the tickets. There should have been a warning on the ticket like...<font color=red>CAUTION: These tickets can be harmful to your marriage!</font color=red>/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Luckily, the wives sense of humor returned within a few months!! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

So make sure to ask where the seats for any shows you want to see BEFORE you buy the tickets! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Haven't been to it, but others I know have, is the Cirque de Solea(sp) at the Bellagio if it's still there. I've seen this on tv and its awsome. The waiting list for reservations is tough though and price may be pretty spendy.

There's also a Nascar cafe around that I heard is fun but not sure which resort it's at.

Anyway, have a great time!

I'm not too familiar with the Riviera, but if they have a concierge desk, then that is the best place to get tickets at the last minute. Although it may be an apples to oranges comparison, when we wanted to go to the Cirque de Solei(sp) show, we were told it was sold out for the entire week at the Cirque de Solei box office. We went to the concierge at the Bellagio and got third row seats for the show that night.

The nascar cafe is at the Sahara casino and hotel. they have a nascar and indy car simulator that is really neat.
