A show for Mom and I...

Mom wants to do something we've never done in Vegas. She wants to see a show. Her first choice was Rod Stewart (he's not in town). Her second choice was Elton. He's dark the entire time we're there. Mom is budget-minded, but was willing to splurge on those two guys. I don't know if she'd go for Le Reve because of the price. She expressed some interest in Divas last time we were there, but I don't think she'd like the seating. Any suggestions?

 

Human Nature is supposed to be good. VIP tickets can be had from discounters in the $40 range.

 

I was going to suggest Human Nature as well. Seems like a good fit for your parameters.

 

If she likes Rod and Elton, perhaps she likes Beatles? LOVE is one of my favorite shows ever, and I'm not really a show person.

 

My mom's (who is 62) favorite show is Donnie and Marie, her and my dad, and the family have seen it 3 times. They are great performers and she's old enough to reminisce about them, I'm young enough I don't really remember them, but i still found their show immensely enjoyable.

It's a little pricey, but it's worth it. Sometimes there is a deal, just do some googling.

My mom also liked Viva Elvis, but overall my whole family is a little sour on Cirque shows. She's dying to see Jersey Boys! All my older aunts and family friends have loved it.

 

Jersey Boys at Paris..........and get the discounted ticket thru BOV...almost 50% off the rack rate.

 

Yeah, Human Nature is just a wonderful evening of entertainment.
When are you going? Human Nature's last Show is reported to be
on Nov. 25th.
I suggest BOOTH 307, 306.
Another good Show at a good price is 'Vegas! the Show' at the
Saxe Theater in the Miracle Mile Shops connected to Planet Ho.

If there's a discount, definitely find it. My wife wanted to see these and I bought tickets from the box office -- paid $375 for two. There are cheaper seats, but only in the back four rows.

 

Will you be there when Wicked is playing at the Smith Center?

 

Yeah, there's lots of Show options.
Again, when will you guys be there and more important...
what does you mom like (or...not like)

 

Mom and I will be there Oct 22-25. I was considering Peepshow if Holly will actually be in town that week. Mom and I used to watch Girls Next Door, and since she's leaving, it might be nice to see it before someone else takes over. I appreciate all your suggestions, and I've not sold mom on Peep yet, so it's nice to have a few "back up" options. Am I right in assuming Divas is all booth/table seats?

 

Back in April we got tickets via BOV online at $99 per ticket...and we sat center stage only 11 rows up......but now I see these tickets are even a MUCH BETTER DEAL...

Divas is in the Human Nature showroom I believe...
I'd suggest sitting in the same place I suggest for that
Show...BOOTH 307,306.
Reason...it will sound better and the effect/the image
of the impersonators will be more believeable.
Look at the seating chart.
