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.

Le Reve @ Wynn

We got lucky on Monday and Le Reve was available on Houseseats.com at Wynn Las Vegas!! I quickly grabbed Jason's 2 tickets and told Rosy, she requested her 4 and invited Rose and Bill to join us. I have always wanted to see Le Reve, so I was super excited. The show was amazing!!! Definitely lived up to Cirque du Soleil standards and then some. The theater is configured in the round. The first 2 rows all the way around are "splash zone" seats and are discounted. Who would have ever thought that the first 2 rows would be the cheapest? Our seats were about 10 rows up from the bottom and perfect. The most expensive are the very last rows along the top. They are reclining chairs, with champagne and tv screens to view the show.

The show was so mesmerizing. So many things going on and yet I found it a lot more enjoyable than Ka which also was extremely action packed. Where with Ka, I felt like there was too much going on and I wasn't able to enjoy it, Le Reve was perfect. The theater seating I think had a lot to do with it. The "stage" is nothing short of amazing. It changes so many times I am still wondering how. I would love to see O now and compare the two.

Nathan Burton @ Flamingo Hilton

The Nathan Burton Comedy Magic show At the Flamingo Hilton. We snagged the tickets from Houseseats.com. This show is a late afternoon show, more geared toward the family audience. The showroom seating was all around the stage, making Nathan visible to everyone. He had 2 showgirls and a guy dancer in his act. The humor is more PG-13 so its definitely one of the only shows on the strip that parents could feel at ease taking their kids to. The magic was a little redundant...we've all seen the majority of the tricks, making his showgirls disappear and reappear, etc. Nathans humor really kept the show going, he is extremely entertaining.

Free Beer! The Improv Show @ Town Square

Free Beer! The Improv Show is always on Houseseats.com. Its at The Stage Door Theater at Town Square. I see it every weekend on the website and never thought to go see what it was all about. After seeing Craig Gass on Friday at the theater, we all decided to go see it on Saturday night. I am so glad we did! For those of you who actually pay the $20 ticket price, it includes 1 free beer. Since our tickets were free, we didn't get the free beer. Once seated we noticed 2 pieces of paper on each of our tables. One said "Favorite Punch Line" and one said "Favorite Line From a Book". We were to fill them out and stick them in a bucket that was sitting on the stage. The show is an improv show fairly similar to "Who's Line Is It Anyways" with Drew Carey if anyone remembers that TV show. There are 2 teams of comedians, each team plays a "game" of sorts. The papers we filled out were used for a skit, they continued to pick up the papers and had to use the line in the skit. It was so funny!! The show was awesome and I would love to go back since each and every week is different!!!
