my gf & I arent big gamblers so we'll go hotel-hopping, shopping, and also catch a few shows in Vegas. Which ones are the best? i'm open to anything,, no stripclubs allowed this time but how are the adult shows? thx!

also what is the best way to buy tix?? tix at hotel websites were $$$$.. are there coupons i can get??

 

usually the hotel you're staying at offers coupons to the show they are hosting, but other than that i haven't seen too many coupons available if any at all.

a few of my favorite shows were:

Ka (Cirque show at MGM, very odd, but very thought provoking and ingenious)
Blue Man Group (seen it here at the Charles Playhouse a number of times, but always a good show)
Mystere (Cirque show at TI)

All of them are pricey, but worth it for a memorable night in vegas IMO.

 

Blue Man Group, IMO.

 

what is the blueman show about?? i keep hearing about it, is it a dance show?? comedy??

 

I'll tell you a secret. There are these latino guys every five feet on the sidewalk handing out tickets to the best shows. Just take one from them and call the number on the card

 

Blue Man group is now at Venetian. There are these booths that sell same day 1/2 price tickets. Pick up a LV weekly guide, I am sure you will see the ads.

If you walk around long enough you will get offers to go and listen to a timeshare sales pitch and they will offer you free show tickets and dinner buffets. It will cost you two hours of your holiday time. We got two tickets to see Jubilee and two buffet vouchers for Harrahs for this inconvenience. Jubilee, I guess, is an "adult" show - topless showgirls - it's pretty lame IMO. If I had to pay to see it I would be bummed.

 

Please do not watch Ka. Biggest waste of $300 IMO>

 

"O" at the Bellagio is another great Cirque show. I've seen a bunch of videos from it and am going to see it on the 20th.

 

O was very good. If you have never seen the Blue Man Group, you definitely will enjoy it. One of the best IMO. I saw Ka this past weekend and it was just whatever. Zumanity was also pretty good.

 

I saw "Mystere" and also "Showgirls of Magic" the last time I was in Vegas. The former was pretty enjoyable, but uuummm I'd suggest skipping the latter. There was some good T&A in it, but not much else.
