Las Vegas Shows

We made arrangements from New York to see three shows in LV.

The first was Las Vegas Revue at the Planet Hollywood, the Second Cirque du Soleil's Ka at the MGM Grand and the last but not least was Celine Dion at Caesar Palace.

Each was great and each left us with good memories. Celine Dion took a year and a half off from giving concerts because of the health of her husband and the day we saw her was her first day back. It was a huge theater At the Coliseum and all tickets were sold even the $500 ones.

I have never seen a concert of this kind and was awed by it. We had great seats (not $500 ones!) and the show was just fabolous. It lasted almost two hours and it was pure entertainment.

The first show we actually saw was Las Vegas Revue at the Planet Hollywood. This was a song and dance show reminiscing about the golden and olden days of Las Vegas. Good seats and good entertainment.

The second show we saw was a Cirque du Soleil production called Ka. Cirque du Soleil has about seven permanent shows in Las Vegas and we picked this one. The theater in the MGM Grand was built particularly for this show. I never saw a Cirque du Soleil show and was just stunned by the acrobatics and technology that was presented.

Generally, ticket prices vary from inexpensive to really high priced ones but regardless, every show we saw was always full house with no empty seats. And they talk about the bad economy.

Just like in New York people dress differently for these shows. At the Celine Dion Concert we saw the best dressed crowd. Some women wore long gowns but over all people dressed up for this event.

Cirque du Soleil they dressed down. Some people brought drinks and popcorn to their seats like in the movies.

That same behavior is visible in New York. Even in the Metropolitan Opera we observed people in tee shirts and jeans.

Americans have no class, this would never happen in Europe!
