I can't wait to go to Vegas. I'm playing in an upcoming blogger tournament. I'm a pretty decent hold 'em player, but I think I'm going to have my ass handed to me on the table against some of the best poker bloggers out there. Either way, it should be a great time. I think we'll check out Cirque du Soleil's Zumanity while we're there. Anyone seen it?

Hi Rach-
What do you mean blocked? No one should be blocked from commenting. Nice to have you back!

Hey Shane!
Was just in Vegas this last weekend. BIG FUN! I have seen Zumanity before and loved it. I must also mention that we took in We Will Rock You at the Paris this past weekend. If you are any sort of a Queen fan this is a must see. Even if not, it is still a rockin show!

I saw Zumanity and enjoyed it, but was a little disappointed. I've seen a few Cirque shows and I thought it was be, I don't know, dirtier? Something a little more different than their usual stuff. Although it has a midget, which is always fun, and a sexy swimming routine in a huge champagne glass. Enjoyable, but not that different from one of their regular gigs.

PS - I just noticed you have Stee linked but not Pamie. Does he know this, he'd probably be thrilled! :)

I saw Zumanity and was extremely disappointed by it. They bill it as a 'naughty Cirque du Soleil' but really there's nothing that naughty about it, nor is it like Cirque in the way that most Cirque shows make you gasp and all that. It was more Burlesque than anything else and for that I would have rather seen the Pussycat Dolls.
Basically, I felt Zumanity was a rip off at $125 a ticket - I say see that new show at the Wynn by one of the creators of Cirque called Le Reve.

What does $30 million in chips look like?

Ooooh, I can't speak to Zumanity, but it reminds me that I'm holding onto a ticket to see Cirque Du Soleil in Toronto at the end of August! Lots of firsts there - first Cirque show and first time in and around Toronto...I'm looking very forward to both! Since it is a once (okay few) in a lifetime opportunity, we got the VIP seats. Cost almost as much as my flight up there. I'm SURE it will be worth it.

Greedy pig, I see you are also suing the national enquirer for $30 plus million dollars!

i really enjoyed zumanity, but i think that was mainly to do with the group i was accompanying - we went with a group of christians who were shocked by EVERYTHING. overall, i still think it was a sexyfun show :) enjoy your vegas time!

Recently I have been spending about a week or two every quarter in Vegas either to meet friends or go to a convention.
Of all the shows I have seen, zumanity is my favorite. But maybe I am just twisted enough to really appreciate the message they are trying to convey.
And I know I am not alone. One of my friends in London was there recently with his girlfriend. He loved it, and she was so moved she started to cry.
You'll have to let us know what you thought.
