Mystere @ Treasure Island

Mystere, the Cirque du Soleil show at Treasure Island, recently went dark for 1 month to make some changes to the show and the theater. My husband did some structural engineering work on the renovations so we received tickets to view the dress rehearsal last night. Not having seen the original production prior to going last night I cannot compare to the new one. However, I will say I absolutely loved what I saw last night.

Love @ Mirage

The Beatles Love Cirque du Soleil show at the Mirage is one of the few I have seen without getting my tickets from Houseseats.com. I would say it is one of the better Cirque shows here in Las Vegas. Based on the Beatles, the stage is set in the round so there isn't a bad seat in the house.

Absinthe @ Caesars Palace

Absinthe is a fairly new show at Caesars Palace. The premise of the show is very Rocky Horror Picture show meets Cirque de Soleil style. There are multiple acts, all slightly crazy and creepy. The atmosphere is that of a circus side show. It takes place in a large tent outside, seating is in the round. As you are waiting to enter the tent there is a bar and cocktail waitresses outside all all dressed in costume.

Jabbawockeez @ Monte Carlo

Its been a year but we renewed our Houseseats.com membership last week. With the baby due in a week we needed something that would be perfect for date nights. I am excited to get back out and enjoy what Vegas is known for, entertainment!

Lance Burton @ Monte Carlo

FINALLY!! Lance has been popping up on Houseseats.com regularly for the past month or so. Everytime I see him there is something else going on that stops us from going. We finally got to see his show this past Saturday. He is at the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino. He shares his theater with Frank Caliendo. Lance Burton embodies what a Las Vegas Magic show is all about. He made people disappear, cars disappear, levitation and sawing people in half. The show was very entertaining and family friendly. If you like magic you'll be entertained by this show.

Jim Florentine @ Palace Station

A little late posting about this show but better late than never right? Jason and I got tickets to see the stand up comedian Jim Florentine off Houseseats.com. He was performing at the Palace Station. Jim Florentine is best known for his characters "Special Ed" and "Bobby Fletcher" on the hit show Crank Yankers on Comedy Central.

The show had 2 warm up comedians. They were ok, with some good jokes. Nothing amazing (clearly since I can't remember their names). Jim Florentine himself, was hilarious!! He did a few Special Ed bits and all in all kept the audience laughing. I would definitely recommend seeing him if you get the chance.

Defending The Caveman @ Harrahs

Last night Jason and I decided to 'cave' in and go see Defending the Caveman. The tickets are ALWAYS available on Houseseats.com. We ran into Rosy and Jon there! Ha! great minds think alike.

My theory? Its a Broadway comedy so it can't be too bad right? Hmmm I am rethinking Broadway. Now based on the fact that it claims to be from Broadway I immediately thought it was a stage production....The show starts with a video montage of a husband and his wife and daily life...ok so now what? The stage is set looking like a scene out of The Flinestones...a stone couch and a stone TV with petroglyphs on the "wall". The husband from the video comes out and starts doing....essentially? Stand up comedy. The premise....men and women are two different cultures and let me explain to why. To give him credit...there were some comical parts, typically when I related to what he was saying, and I'd jab Jason in the side and giggle. That was it.
