For me nothing compared to O from Cirque De Solieil that plays at Bellagio. It was well worth the money. As well, Cirque's show - Mystere at Treasure Island was aclose second.

Blue Man Group is divine.

netstarz · 04-26-2003, 10:11 PM

Blue Man Group Is Fucking GREAT! I went into that expecting to fall asleep but I had really great time.

kmanrox · 04-26-2003, 10:36 PM

1. Blue Man Group
2. Circ du Soliel (the one NOT at Bellagio) IMO
3. Lord of Dance (its not as fruity as it sounds!)

chaffer · 04-26-2003, 10:53 PM

I hear Celine Dion show is great hahahhaha

Lily · 04-26-2003, 11:02 PM

Mystere was great. I'm pretty sure that O is the one I saw when they were on tour though and I liked it better.

If you're a chick though, nothing beats the Thunder from Down Under! WOOHOO!

go get some lap dances at OG's-better use of your $

SleazyDream · 04-27-2003, 07:56 PM

been to the blue man group and the"o" show - both were awesome.
I want to see celine next time in vegas - I hear her show is awesome.
I havn't sceen sig and roy but I heard they suck.

unless you're gambling with 100K bank roll it's best to book tickets to these shows 3 months in advance. if you're leaving in a month BOOK the shows NOW.

kmanrox · 04-27-2003, 10:14 PM

if i had to only pick one, it would definitely be Blue Man Group

Hell Puppy · 04-27-2003, 10:23 PM

Blue Man Group is the most likely to appeal to just about anyone. It's funny, it rocks. No one can describe it, you just have to see it. Nice theater too, there's not a bad seat in the house.

O is worth seeing just for the stage, it's amazing. You'll never see a Cirque touring show that can do what they can do with the water and that stage. However, Cirque doesn't necessarily appeal to everyone.

If you're not looking for a permanent show and want to see a traditional Vegas headliner, it's hard to beat Penn & Teller. They work at the Rio many weeks out of the year.

take drugs before u go

Gutterboy · 04-27-2003, 10:50 PM

O, O, and... O

Saw it for the second time a couple of weeks ago. Its great

If you are going to see it, reserve well in advance, splurge, and get the expensive seats near center at stage level. Trust me, its worth it. You don't want to see a show like that from a shitty nosebleed seat.

sexyavs · 04-27-2003, 10:50 PM

1. Cheetahs
2. Crazy Horse 2
3. Saphires

Shows are amazingly boring.. I saw that Mystere and left early...

Booooooooooooooring...

Gimme gambling, booze and strippers.. now thats fun!

I am going to see Jerry Seinfeld May 2nd! That has to be a good show...either that or you can see Celine Dion and go shopping in the Celine Dion store in Ceasar's...that's just sad, the woman has a store for her performance...and a performance that is wicked expensive and probably not worth a penny of it!

I heard her neighbors in Vegas are pissed off because of the noise her personal helicopter makes when it takes off every night to bring her to the show.

Celine is like that Nat Maines girl from the Dixie Chicks. Her voice is tolerable for one song, then it starts to grate on you. I'd rather sit and listen to fingernails being scraped across a blackboard for an hour.

Proliferation of Vegas strip clubs taps into casino business

Canadian Press
Saturday, April 26, 2003

LAS VEGAS (AP) - At his bachelor party at the Sapphire Gentlemen's Club, Brad Boeye and his buddies tossed $20 bills like confetti at topless women. By the time they left, they'd gone through $800.

The men would have been happy to spend their money at the MGM Grand hotel-casino, where they were staying, but this wasn't the kind of entertainment casinos offer.

"They need to have this," said Boeye, 30, a computer networker from the San Francisco Bay area. "They are losing out. ... We've got lots of money to spend."

Casinos are facing growing competition from strip clubs, or so-called gentlemen's clubs, that are increasingly sophisticated, well-financed ventures. There are 31 strip clubs in Clark County and Las Vegas, compared with about 40 major casinos on the Strip.

While strip clubs have always dotted the Las Vegas landscape, they've never been built on such a large and expensive scale. The magnitude of these businesses are catching the attention of casino owners.

"I imagine this is a phenomenon that's indicative of some trend," said Elaine Wynn, who along with her husband Steve Wynn of Wynn Resorts, is building the Strip's newest casino, Le Reve. "Young people who are affluent don't find gambling to be entertainment."

The $30 million, 71,000-square-foot Sapphire sits on seven acres and boasts marble floors and plasma televisions. About 40,000 feet of the club has been approved for topless dancing, co-owner Peter Feinstein said.

The Sapphire is the biggest of the strip clubs, including the 25,000-square-foot Jaguars Gentleman's Club and a 24,000-square-foot club scheduled to open this year. It has 10 sky boxes that allow customers a sweeping view of the hundreds of topless dancers flitting about, jumping from lounge chair to lounge chair, customer to customer.

Feinstein said he expects a 25 per cent return on his investment, making the supersize strip club business more profitable than many major companies.

On a Saturday night, 2,000 to 3,000 men pour through the establishment. Taxis line up outside, one after another ferrying the men and their money to and from their hotels.

Las Vegas visitors are the reason the clubs are successful.

"They fall in love and spend all their money," said 21-year-old Piper, a dancer who migrated to Las Vegas from Los Angeles and has been stripping for a few months.

Mike Beezley, Jaguars' director of marketing, said casinos are feeling the pressure from the strip clubs.

"We raised the bar," he said. "We've made the casinos compete. Sex always sells."

The hotel-casinos are responding by making nightspots sexier or rolling out new ones to attract men.

Casinos are now selling sex, or at least the hint of it, on billboards around the city. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority airs commercials with the not-so-subtle message that anything is possible in Las Vegas.

Even the newest Cirque du Soleil show planned to open this summer at New York-New York hotel promises a "provocative exhibition of human sensuality, arousal and eroticism."

The two newest clubs on the Strip are the Risque at Paris Las Vegas, owned by Park Place Entertainment, and Tabu at MGM Grand.

Tabu is certainly racier than other casino-hotel clubs, but Gamal Aziz, MGM Grand president and chief operating officer, rejects any comparisons to the strip clubs.

"I wanted a place that is sensual and cool, not sleazy," he said. "It's not in your face. I'm providing a fantasy in a completely different direction. It's respectable."

Waitresses parade around Tabu in revealing outfits and offer bottle service at tables starting at $225. There is a private entrance for celebrities to get in and out of the VIP lounge without being seen.

Aziz and the people who designed the club say Tabu has nothing in common with the strip clubs down the street. They said people will go to strip clubs no matter what the casinos offer.

"If you're in Las Vegas and that's in your mind," Aziz said. "You're going to go. I much rather see them go to one of those places than my competitors. If they only go to those then I've done my job."

Aziz said Tabu recently did its first $32,000 night, with only a $15 cover charge and drink sales. He says Tabu will break even in about two years.

Risque offers customers something besides women in bikini outfits draped with black mesh and bartenders wrapped in red corsets: The waitresses will dance with you.

"If you look what's going everywhere," Park Place Entertainment spokesman Robert Stewart said, "the trend is to push the edge of entertainment."

"We don't market to families."

You mean you didn't fall in love with the Titanic song???? I was at Caesar's a little while ago before the show started, and a) Caesar's is complicated enough of a hotel b) they had the whole middle area blocked off building her area, it was fucked up....

You haven't live 'til you've seen Carrot Top live. Ok, I'm full of shit, I spend all my money at the ghetto strip clubs for locals. But if you are going to see a show, there's a radio show, or I think it's like a whole radio station, that sells gift certificates to Vegas stuff for like 80% off, including shows. I have some friends in Vegas who saw Lord of The Dance for just a few bucks, which is 'cool 'cause you'll need the discount when you realize Michael Flatly isn't there to heckle his dumb ass.
