    Gonna be in Vegas in 2 weeks. Any shows that I should see?

    I'll be in Vegas Jan 18-21. Are there any really cool shows I should go to? I might be able to take a customer so that I won't have to pay for my ticket. Also, if anyone wants to join me, I'll have a nice room here...

    There is a musical of all Queen songs, We Will Rock You. Supposed to be good.
    Also, Danny Gans is a HILARIOUS impressionist.

    We Will Rock You is absolutely incredible. Great music, costumes, lights and a storyline that keeps you totally absorbed. I (lovingly) describe this as "the best geek musical ever". Set in the future, where "Globalsoft" rules the world... ok, no spoilers. But go, go, go!!!

    Zumanity is Cirque de Soleil - with strippers. "Tasteful erotic". Very cool.

    and if you need a cheery, uplifting, family-friendly musical - "Mamma Mia". All Abba, all the time.

    Have fun!

    Without a doubt, go see the Cirque` show called "O" at the Bellagio!
    It's freaking amazing. I think I spent about 50% of the show just watching all of the mechanical workings of the stage. Tickets are pricey, but well worth it IMHO.

    I'm not sure what show for you to see - there's so many of them. Just don't see Danny Gans... his posters around Vega$ are just wierd.

    Though if you're in Tijuana, simply ask your cab driver, "donde está el burro?". I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
    I think over again
    My small adventures, my fears.
    The small ones that seemed so big,
    For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.

    And yet there is only one great thing, the only thing:

    To live to see the great day that dawns,
    And the light that fills the world.

    I heard Zumanity was a homoerotic strip show so go figure that.

    We're going to Vegas this Monday (and using a three night hotel voucher we received [along with $75] from seeing an hour and a half timeshare presentation from Trendwest).-No, we didn't buy the timeshare.

    I think the big show we will be seeing is the Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur. We'll see that and try to catch a lot of other free and low cost stuff. We'll probably go on some of the roller coasters, etc.

    I found you could buy the tickets directly from the casino or their website for the cheapest price I could find.-Or, if you stay at the casino, they will give you a buy on get one for this show (other casinos may do the same, I don't know).

    I also did a google search and found quite a list of things to see and do.

    I saw 'O' and wasn't that impressed. I probably expected too much. I think Quidam was the best cirque de soleil show ever.
