My trip was great as to be expected. It always feels good to be there, although I did get a little bit tired of being on the strip. It's lost it's appeal since living there, so Vegas to me is really not what Vegas is to others. I like doing things "local style" and away from the strip. But Aaron had never had the chance to stay on the strip so that's why we did it. Like I said, any which way you slice it, we had a great time.
We saw 2 different shows while we were there, both Cirque du Soleli shows and both very different. The first show we saw was Zumanity at New York New York and it was AWESOME! It was more on the burlesque side and more sexually oriented, but hilarious and amazing all at the same time. I'd have to say the funniest part of the entire show was when they pulled this woman up on stage near the end, and I'd say she was probably in her late 50s, early 60s, and she was rubbing all over this guy....I can't even describe it....but the entire audience was cracking up. I would definitely see the show again, and I would definitely pay to sit down in the very front. Our seats were only 12 rows from stage and were great, but sitting in the first 5 rows proved to be potentially rewarding. I don't want to give anything away for anyone who may see it anytime in the coming years.
The other show we saw was Criss Angel Belive at the Luxor. For those of you who aren't familiar with Criss Angel, he used to have a show on A&E called Mindfreak where he basically walks the Vegas streets and does different magic stunts and what not. I really liked his A&E show and I also think he's hot (a lot of people don't agree with me, but hey, different strokes for different folks). I wasn't sure really what to expect from his show though because I couldn't really understand how they would mix Cirque du Soleli with magic, and even after seeing the show, I'm not really sure how I feel about it. I don't want to say it was bad, but I don't want to say it was an excellent show. I felt like it should have been more about his magic than about blending it with Cirque. But that's just my opinion. We were sitting close and could see him very well which was very welcoming for me. Would I see it again? Probably not. Do I regret seeing it? Not at all. So, I remain undecided on it overall.
