These days, it’s difficult not to be cynical…..

Exactly. I can’t imagine there is even any interest in Elvis at this point, and she died fifteen years before he did.

I agree. We saw Rich Little at the Tropicana Comedy Club a few years ago, and he’s only a few years older than I am. Before that was the Folies, also at the Trop, just before it closed. I don’t remember the one before that–maybe Bottoms Up! at the Flamingo, Mac King at Harrah’s, and/or Dirk Arthur somewhere. Most of the other current and recent Vegas shows have had little if any appeal for us. Our most recent show anywhere was Olivia Newton-John in Laughlin about six months ago.
You get the idea: the Las Vegas entertainment scene has passed us by, just like the dining with $69.99 buffets (Caesars Palace) and the gaming with 6-5 Blackjack and triple-zero roulette.
I do think it’s good that they are trying new shows as described on this blog–including Marilyn–just not a lot of success so far. Maybe they need to bring back those Argentinian gauchos….

Ha, yeah, I don’t like it as much, but really like not having those annoying ads that look like news. Lesser of two evils.

Most of the Cirque shows have been the same for a decade. Time to start trying to bring in some more original content like Absinthe or Jabbawockeez, stop playing it so damn safe with all the retreads and tributes. Absinthe proves you can do something original and people will come.

My preceding cryptic comment would have been sensical and, dare I say, even witty, had it been properly posted to your previous blog entry as intended. I’m having a hard time with this new commenting system especially when reading late at night on my phone and medicated. Can you go back to Disqus?
