Las Vegas Shows

As we plan our trip to Vegas for our wedding (only 86 days to go till our wedding day!!), we are starting to look at the various shows that are available on and near the Strip. From the looks of it, Vegas has everything from cheesy magic shows to top dollar headliners like Cris Angel and the Blue Man Group. I think we are going to be in Vegas for six nights, which means we will have plenty of time to see a variety of shows.

On our wedding night, we're going to dinner and maybe just walking around the city, but I doubt we'll go see a show. So that leaves 5 nights. We can't afford to go see a show like Cirque du Soleil's LOVE, which is a Beatles tribute,. every night. That show costs over $140 a ticket! Even the Blue Man Group is $100 each, and Cris Angel's BELIEVE is $78. We could easily spent a thousand dollars or more on Vegas shows. Since we don't have that kind of money to burn, we're looking at some of the more low-key, easy on the budget shows that might still be fun.

Like the "Dymonds", for example. $19.95 a ticket for a husband and wife Magic Revue. Everyone wants to seee a magic show right? There's a comedy hypnosis shows at the Tropicana called "Hypnosis Unleashed" where you can get tickets for $32.00/each, and you can even add in a $25.00 bar pass that includes all you can drink during the show. Tim Jones is going to be at the Bonkerz Comedy Club for only $25.00 a ticket. There's also Matsuri, a Japanese acrobatics show at the Imperial Palace for $40/each. Supposedly one of the best deals in Vegas is the V - Vegas Variety Show. For $39.95, you get a ticket and 2 drinks at the bar. Sounds good to me.

I'm so excited to be going to a city where there's so much nightlife and so many things to choose from. We are thinking of going to a club-hopping event where they have a bus that takes you to several clubs throughout the evening. Plus, then there's the casinos and the restaurants! We're planning to stay at the Mirage since it's one of the premiere hotels and has recently been renovated. I can't wait!!

If you've ever been to Vegas and know about some great deals on tickets or have an idea of a great show, please feel free to let me know what it is!
