DV - I've only been to Vegas once. Had a great time.
I went to a Burlesque show off the strip with XW. Taxi dropped us off at a seedy looking bar, and the burlesque was in the back. The front was a beer-stained, smoke filled, terrible dive bar. (OK, I actually LOVE dive bars).
It was SO fun. Started with the more amateur folks, kind of awkward, figuring it out, sometimes not on the beat. Then it progressively got better and better until the more pro people came out. It went pretty late though, as I am secretly an 80 year old woman who wants to go to bed early.
It was such a funny memory. So very Vegas. XW was at first alarmed with a "WHERE did you take me!?!" expression. I had found the place on recommendation from a Burlesque professional I had worked with at a previous job. So I just trusted it to be okay. It was.
I kind of secretly love Vegas despite it being everything that is the antithesis of what I believe in. How many times have you been? Any favorite spots?
