Still Tryin's new thread 2

ST - aw thanks!! I actually used to do movie and record reviews for the "teen" section of our local paper when I was in high school. I really have fun with it.

ST and Supderdad - haha yes, I do have too much Vegas knowledge.

Part of why we did so much is that we were there WAY too long, 6 days. We would've been ok leaving on day 3 and HAPPY to go by day 4, but we were meeting friends there on day 5 so we stayed. That's when we went to Hoover Dam and Valley of Fire though - at least had to get away from the strip for awhile! We're both kind of "on the go" all the time when we travel, trying to see and do everything, so that's part of it too. Only people I know who spent 8 days in Cancun and never went to the beach... Too much to see and do!

You're welcome for the warning on the nudie shows. I figured "Skintight" was probably obvious but "Zumanity" not so much. If they suggest Zumanity maybe you can steer them towards one of the other Cirque shows. They're really talented and it's amazing to watch, but Zumanity was just too much. I'm not easily offended by that stuff at all, but this was just... wow. I really enjoyed both shows, but don't think they'd be your thing at all. Zumanity it took me about an hour to pick my jaw up off the floor. One funny part I can share though - I had an empty seat next to me and at one point one of the male dancers (wearing nothing but an old fashioned metal tea-pot held on by a string... use your imagination... ) sat next to me and started flirting with me. It was clearly part of the show because a few of the dancers were doing it, but it was SO funny. The whole rest of the show he'd be on stage dancing and right in the middle of the act, he'd stop, run over to me, hold his hand up to his ear like a phone, wink, and mouth the words Call me!"

Somehow H got pulled on stage for the striptease in the middle of Skintight too. We must have had "embarass me" written on our foreheads.

I'd really be adament about steering them away from Coyote Ugly - that was the WORST place I've ever gone into, anywhere. My boss is a FREAK for Vegas, loves the drinking, the shows, the gambling - and he will rant for hours about how awful the 10 minutes he spent there were. So even guys don't like it. I thought H and the security guard were going to start fighting if the security guy didn't stop yelling at us - and apparently it hasn't gotten any better, my boss was just there a few weeks ago.

The piano bar was way fun though for nightlife, Studio 54 was great for dancing or people watching. The "statue" show at the Caesar's mall was very cool too, totally unexpected thing we ran into there.

Anyway... gotta run for now but have a great weekend if I don't check in again!
