12/2006: Las Vegas: 'Entertainment galore....'
Las Vegas offers an incredible range of shows and lavish theatre productions. It attracts hordes of top quality performers. In the weeks before, during and after my visit, the choice included the Rolling Stones, the Who, Barbra Streisand, Liza Minelli, Tom Jones, Celine Dion (who has a residency in her own theatre at Caesar’s Palace, which she shares with Elton John), Barry Manilow and Barenaked Ladies.
Tickets can be bought on line and it is best to book well in advance as the big names tend to sell out quickly. Expect to pay around $100 plus for top name performers. A good way of checking who’s performing and when, is to visit the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority website www.VisitLasVegas.com.
The outrageous circus performers Cirque du Soleil have several different shows running at various hotels and as their show are very complex and expensive to put on, Las Vegas may be the only place you can get to see some of them. The new Beatles influenced show ‘Love’, for instance, is too costly to produce in the UK.
