Vegas Shows

[mysticsavage]

I caught three shows the last time I was down:

Wayne Brady - Making $#it Up at the Venetian. Basically if you like "Who's Line Is It Anyway", you'll love this. A ton of audience participation and basically a lot of fun, but kind of short (maybe 90 mins. tops). Still worth it, Wayne is the man.

The Price Is Right Live at Bally's - all the typical games, just not the money level of the televised version. Doug Davidson of The Young and the Restless hosted...nice guy, took pictures with everyone who stayed after.

Zumanity at New York New York - now that's a different show...but man, is it fantastic. Not for the uptight set. See it with someone you love.

I'm going to see The Killers when they come to Vegas. Does that count??

Naw... that probably won't. There arent enough dudes in tights for it to count..

As for shows, only ever went to one typical show - Danny Gans in '04 - and only went cause my friend really wanted to go. Worst two hours I've spent in Vegas.

Blib you didnt like Danny Gans? I saw him maybe when i was like 15 and i thought he was hysterical. I always wanted to go back and see him again but i just never did. I said i would do it soon, but now that hes dead i guess i missed the boat on that one.

Anyway, i honestly loved Blue Man Group when i saw it. Its just seriously whacky and out of control for the senses.

i can't remember, sorry! but both had chuck liddell. and he wont both fights.

It's not really a family show either...some of it's closer to him when he was on Chappelle's Show...without choking bitches, of course!!

No, didn't enjoy it at all - it's not that I didn't get his impressions, I just never found anything he did all that interesting, unique, or entertaining.

La Reve was actually a pretty decent show, I'd recommend it!

Only show I have ever seen was Thunder from Down Under. Now go ahead and flame away but it was well worth every penny! I still can close my eyes and see that gorgeous fireman.

I've seen Ka, which compared to the other shows I have seen by Cirque, especially televised productions - was a disappointment. I may have not been able to appreciate it, but my friend who has seen all by Zumanity said it was the worst out of all the Cirque shows.

I've heard Zumanity and Mystere are the best as far as Cirque shows go. Phantom is mind boggling apparently and so is Blue Man.

I've always wanted to see Penn and Teller as well. Can't go wrong with sarcastic magicians.

I didnt care for KA either

If you are there when seinfeld is, go see him! I saw Bill Maher at Caesars and it was really fun...I would love to see Jerry, classic comedian.

I also saw Copperfield and ldid enjoy it. We got tickets at tix for tonight for $75, discount from $100 each. I really liked the MGM venue, its small and intimate, only about 500 people. They'll bring you drinks and stuff, we had a great time. Only thing is, my husband got me and another couple tickets to see him when he came to phoenix...well, he did the same show! To a T...kind of disappointing...even stuff that I would have thought was random (like he picked a female audience member to help him and both put their hands "shyly" on his butt, so he clearly told them to) I don't know, it did sour me a little. However, I can't figure out the tricks and they were REALLY cool. I would still say it was worth it.

I think Wayne Brady sounds fun, def something to consider on my next trip. I loved him on Chappelle...so funny

cool, thanks for the tips..!

I second the vote for La Reve....it's a really unique show, and the theater is set up so there are no bad seats in the house.

Also, my brother saw Wayne Brady last month and he highly recommended it.
