Logic Straight Out the Window
Las Vegas: Before our show in the Luxor tonight (which inside looks quite a bit different from the last time we were these), I walked over into the Excalibur just to look around some before we needed to be seated in the theater. Now, this was the first Vegas hotel I ever stayed in, so it sort of embodies everything that Vegas is to me. Well, the staples like the entire floor of arcade and midway games are still there, but in this “kid oriented” hotel, I also discovered beer pong tables and dancing girls in bikinis that you could watch while playing blackjack. Maybe they feel they need to adjust their image some, but I just found those two things to be very unexpected in that hotel.
Criss Angel Believe was a show that I felt was suffering an identity crisis. While the magic was impressive, it was either a magic show with not enough magic or a Cirque show with not enough acrobatics. Definitely not my favorite Cirque show (of the Vegas ones at least), and not one that I ever feel like I’d need to go see again. It does, however, get points for being entertaining because the time went by extremely quick rather than feeling like the show was never going to end. My score: 6/10.
