Title: Vegas Shows Post by: Woodsey on April 04, 2011, 03:21:05 PM Anyone been to these shows? Are they something a 75 yo mum and dad would like?
Beatles- Love Blue Man group Any other suggestions? Title: Re: Vegas Shows Post by: The Camel on April 04, 2011, 03:26:11 PM Been to both.
Love was fantastic. Best CdS I've seen by miles. Absolutely amazing stuff, a grl on a trapeze to Lucy in the Sky was breathtaking. Blue Man Group, I enjoyed it, but my missus absolutely hated it. Funny moments, but given the choice, would pick Love every single time. Title: Re: Vegas Shows Post by: Woodsey on April 04, 2011, 03:39:39 PM We will be there for a week, so plan to do probably 3 shows/concerts. If anyone else has suggestions please let me know, bear in mind the target audience is my oldies not me :)

Title: Re: Vegas Shows Post by: Horneris on April 04, 2011, 04:26:18 PM Blue Man Group was the worst thing I have seen in my life.
The only solace was that Jones lost the flip for tickets and Nicky lost the flip for beers so I didn't have to shell anything out for the boring ordeal. Title: Re: Vegas Shows Post by: Horneris on April 04, 2011, 04:27:52 PM Trigg went along to the Tournament of Kings show/banquet and had a great time.

Don't think so met but didn't go myself. http://www.excalibur.com/entertainment/tournament_of_kings.aspx Title: Re: Vegas Shows Post by: Marky147 on April 04, 2011, 04:39:47 PM Le Réve at the Wynn is pretty special, dunno if 2 CdS would be too much in a week
Terry Fator was very good too but not everyone's cup of tea at a guess Title: Re: Vegas Shows Post by: Woodsey on April 04, 2011, 05:01:45 PM Your old man will love Peep Show at Planet Hollywood. Maybe we will both do sneaky Rhino sorties without telling the other we are going, and accidentally bump into each other :-X Title: Re: Vegas Shows Post by: Royal Flush on April 04, 2011, 06:29:20 PM Love is awesome.
Blue Man is tez imo. As suggested Jersey Boys is very good. Title: Re: Vegas Shows Post by: Nakor on April 04, 2011, 07:03:52 PM If lounge style, old school Vegas feel would be appreciated, then Matt Goss at Ceasers.
He was surprisingly very good, 80% Vegas lounge standards, he walks the tables, chats up the ladies and is generally very entertaining. Jersey Boys is fantastic.

That's an interesting one to think about, cheers :) Jersey boys and Love are deffo's now, TY everyone else. Title: Re: Vegas Shows Post by: Woodsey on April 04, 2011, 09:12:47 PM Pah, Love sold out for the week :'(

O still one of the best also. Dinner at Prime, desert on their patio with a fountain show, tickets for O.

Looking forward to Love, seen 3 other vegas cirque shows and really enjoyed them too :) Fook me the tickets are a bit expensive though >:( Thank god I'm not paying :D Title: Re: Vegas Shows Post by: rex008 on April 04, 2011, 10:35:24 PM +1 on O. Went for a friends wedding, we all went to O including bride's+groom's parents. All loved it. Spectacular.

That's one of the ones I've seen, I enjoyed it too, ty anyway :) Title: Re: Vegas Shows Post by: Woodsey on April 04, 2011, 10:50:13 PM Anyone been to that piano bar in NYNY early doors i.e. 8pm when the music starts? Is is sensible then for an older crew?
I've only been later on when pissed up when it gets a bits rowdy and I know my folks would hate it like that. If it sensible early doors without the rowdyness I'd like to take them. Title: Re: Vegas Shows Post by: doubleup on April 04, 2011, 11:16:39 PM If they like comedy, vinny favorito is a bit like Frankie Boyle lite and doesn't cost too much. Title: Re: Vegas Shows Post by: Woodsey on April 04, 2011, 11:24:08 PM If they like comedy, vinny favorito is a bit like Frankie Boyle lite and doesn't cost too much. I dunno about US comedy tbh, I find it very hit and miss due to the different sense of humour over there. I've seen a couple of shows there and I thought they were just meh, the locals were pissing themselves though.

I've only been later on when pissed up when it gets a bits rowdy and I know my folks would hate it like that. If it sensible early doors without the rowdyness I'd like to take them. There are quite a few "duelling piano" shows around town, so you could go somewhere less rowdy than NYNY. There is a champagne/cognac/cigar bar in Paris called Napoleons (in the cobbled street bit) that I went to last time without realising they had pianos. I am not sure if they are a permanent feature, but it was pretty sedate in there, even at closing time, most songs were 50s-70s.

Ok cheers will check it out Title: Re: Vegas Shows Post by: millidonk on April 05, 2011, 03:37:54 PM Might be stating the obv or missing something but 'Legends in Concert' is a good one. Its at Harrahs which is the major downside. But for the older generation it is a must. All sorts of different impersonators. Elvis, Manilow, Striesand, Midler. Dusty Springfield, Johnny Cash etc.
+1 to all the Cirque do soleil and Jersey Boy shouts. Terry Fador is supposed to be great for all the family, But i have never got around to seeing him. |
