It was kind of fun to see Jersey Boys because it turns out that everyone knows songs by Four Seasons - we just don't know they wrote them! Like, "What a Night". Very Broadway, if you are into that kind of thing.

I've seen Blue Man on tv, and can't say that I really cared for it that much. I'm thinking of the KA show now, that sideways stage sounds pretty interesting.

So how much did you guys end up paying for tickets?

I still had a valid student ID at the time and I found a student special online and paid about 60 with taxes and fees for LOVE.

We went in 2003-ish & went to Zumanity. It was the only one I could convince dh to see. I believe our tickets were about $90 a piece. We only bought them a day in advance & our seats were balcony, yet great. I thought the show was great...it was really funny, great set, live music-but yes, a lot of the costumes were lacking much fabric at all. I would avoid if that kind of thing offends you. However, it completely lived up to my expectations of what I've seen on T.V. as far as their productions in general.

The other show I wish we saw was at the Excalibur, 'Tournament of Kings' I just looked up their prices & they're about $65.00. But I definitely recommend a Cirque show, they seem to be unmatched.

No that stuff does not offend me, but that was pretty funny that's the only one your DH would go see. Men, go figure. LOL The Absinthe one I mentioned earlier is supposed to be even more riske and raunchier than Zumanity.

It gave him something to look at while I indulged in the art of it, LOL. I've never heard of Absinthe. Zumanity is very funny though, IMO. But I'd love to see the rest of their shows. One came here a while back but only offered one show. Of course I didn't get tickets to it in time.

Absinthe isn't a Cirque show, but it's similar. They billed it as part burlesque, part acrobat, part comedy, in a small venue in one of those old school traveling tent type stages. That alone sounded interesting to me. It got good reviews on yelp. Absinthe - The Strip - Paradise, NV

Las Vegas Show Coupons

Menopause and Lion King are good ones that aren't too expensive. There are a lot of deals you just have to google Las Vegas shows. You might want to check out where you're staying - sometimes they have coupons in the rooms for a discount on shows.

I was just there for my birthday and had to see "O" again because I loved it so much the first time. I also saw KA and it was also awesome! I heard good things about absinthe. Our taxi driver raved about it and showed us a video of some of the acrobatics. I think I'll see it next time.

Thanks for the links. I saw a locals deal for Absinthe which was about $50, but I also saw someone on yelp posted they got $20 off discount tix same day, and ended up paying the same, about $50 each. So I think I will try and do that, so I don't have to take advantage of your very generous offer. I don't want to have to ask you do do me a favor and get tix and drive out there to meet me. I think I found another tix4tonight coupon for $2 off the service fee also. Pretty sure this is the show we are going to see. I read a lot of good reviews on O, but cannot justify paying that price!

The show is right behind Serendipity by Ceasar's. While we were there they were handing out buy one get one free vouchers right in front of it. Be sure and walk around there and see if you can land one of those vouchers!

[capt_noonie]

BOGO free! OMG yes! Thanks for the tip. I was just hoping for the $20 off coupons, that would be even better!

I have all my meals planned already.

I saw Zumanity Cirque du Soleil... it was ok, not my fav Cirque, it was a lot of contortionism (topless of course) and I much prefer the height and stunts of a real circus. When I go to Vegas again, I am going to see O. That is the one show I keep going back to. I'm going next time!

I also saw a show called Divas Las Vegas at the old Imperial Palace hotel..... it was GREAT! It was affordable and it's one of the longest running shows. Its a bunch of male impersonators to female singers. It was funny, a lot of talent and is head lined by Frank Marino... one of the top 10 known transvestites. It was pretty great! I went with my (ex)boyfriend and 2 other couples and even the guys liked it.

capt_noonie, have you been to Vegas before? If not, then I don't recommend seeing a show for $100/each when you only have 1 night there.
A lot of the casinos on the strip have their own 'free' shows and you can walk the strip for many hours and see them all for free. Mirage has an erupting volcano that is fire, lights, water .. very cool. Treasure Island has the best show every 15 mins I believe or 1/2 hour, its a mini show, with 2 ships and they have a fight over your head with fire, water, explosives, etc.... very very cool! Excalibur has a dragon/wizard type show, kind of less excitement than those other 2 but still neat. Bellagio has the dancing fountains that are GREAT. Rio has an indoor ceiling show with floats and they throw mardi gras beads down, and a stage comes out of the floor and has an Elvis on stilts and barbie girls dancing and this just randomly happens in the casino, all for free!

Check out this link, there is enough FREE stuff to keep you busy for a week!!!

This is a better way to SEE Vegas if you've never been in my opinion! The shows ARE great, no doubt. I seriously did not see 1 show until my 3rd time to Vegas because I spent so much time seeing all these things for free that are really cool!
