We spent two nights in Las Vegas. It is what you expect - really busy (the traffic is nuts!) and bright and exciting. The photo above shows one of the hotels - Caesars Palace (apart from the street in the photo,it is ALL just Caesers Palace!). We really liked our stay. We stayed in a casino hotel (of course) about a mile as the crow flies from the strip. It was not one of the bigger resorts with only about 1,850 or so rooms. It did provide a free shuttle to and from the strip though more often than not there were more people waiting than the bus could actually handle.
We wandered the strip and checked out a few places though it is still really hot here at this time of year. On the first night we managed to get tickets to Cirque Du Soleil's "Mystere" at Treasure Island. This show was brilliant - so good that instead of taking in a musical (there are dozens of shows all over Vegas to choose from) we decided to take in Cirque's latest, "Zumanity", billed as the show showing the sensual side of Cirque Du Soleil. It had a R18 rating. What a contrast and a disappointment. Zumanity is just awful rubbish. Certainly it is for adults with lots of bad language, constant reference to sex, semi clad people and a drag queen as an MC. We expected a lot of this. What we didn't expect was the lack of circus performance. There were four or five acts you could call circus related, including a contortionist, two topless and very flexible women swimming in a giant champagne glass and a couple of aerial performances that we could not see because the balcony blocked the view. The rest of the show was a series of acts whose only relevance was that they were related to sex (though the relevance of the two men play fighting in a cage was totally lost on us). We think most of the cast are erotic dancers not circus performers. Honestly, if we wanted something like this, we could have paid far less to visit a strip show which would have done it better. Despite the high ticket price, a number of people walked out and we considered it but waited, hoping it would improve. It didn't. Shame.
