I was hearing on the news this past weekend that the poor economy has even hit Las Vegas! The news program showed footage of the inside of some of the largest casinos, and they were completely empty. Now you KNOW that the economy is bad if people are not even going to Las Vegas to try to win big! I have to wonder where are all of the people who are addicted to gambling? If they aren’t in Las Vegas gambling, I wonder where they are getting their “fix.”
My wife and I have often spoken about going to Las Vegas on a dream vacation. Not for the gambling, though. Neither one of us enjoys any gambling with stakes any higher than a dollar or two on a lottery ticket! Well, maybe we would try some slot machines. I wonder how “cheap” you can go on a slot machine.
What we would really like to do in Las Vegas is to attend some of the all-you-can-eat buffets and watch some of the famous Las Vegas Shows. Especially one of the Cirque du Soleil shows. Did you know that there are several different Cirque du Soleil shows? I didn’t! I thought there was only one kind!
I just found out that there are several different Cirque du Soleil shows; the KA, Mystere, Believe, LOVE, O, and Zumanity. I don’t have even the beginning of a clue as to what any of them are “about!” I thought that there was only “one” show, and that it was a spectacular circus with a lot of special effects and made it look like people were flying. I know that effect is created by wires and harnesses, but it’s a cool effect just them same!
So I am going to have to tell my wife to research the different ones and tell me about them before we make any plans to go there, so we can pick out which ones we think we would enjoy the most.
