    I actually enjoyed that one, although I think I saw it maybe about 2005 or so, so it may have been different.

    I was dragged there kicking and screaming, I grudgingly agreed to go, 'cuz I thought it would suck. I thought it would be a cheesy "T&A" show and I was pleasantly surprised.

    I don't remember much magic in it. It was more like a comedy variety show. The only magic trick I remember was a spoof of a "dumb blonde" trying to do a magic trick and getting it all wrong, but the TRICK WORKED! :)

    What I remember mostly was this mask act, where one of the guys in our party was called up on stage. I laughed so hard I hurt!

    I LOVE Cirque shows but I literally fell fast asleep during O. Most expensive nap ever.

    My first Cirque show was Mystere. I liked it fine, but the whole show I couldn't stop hearing Hank Hill in my head saying, "What in the hell is that supposed to be?"

    She wasn't horrible, but of all the Collosseum shows we've seen, Cher was by far the least favourable ....

    I just remembered another one I saw but did not think was that great. Buck Wild at the old Sahara. We got tickets for it comp from some seat-filling agency that was hawking them at the LVCC. The one redeeming act was some very young Charlie Daniels type fiddler kid. Other than that it was not memorable at all. :(

    I saw Gordie Brown at Golden Nugget about a year and a half ago. I'm in the minority who thought his dated impressions and jokes were painful.

    I had comp tickets to Jubilee several years ago. It was quite a production, but I didn't love it.

    Nathan Burton's magic show wasn't great. I paid $10 for my ticket, and the show was worth about half of that. All of his tricks seemed to be a variation of the same illusion, with the exception of the finale. And the filler during his show wasn't great.

    At least Zarkana was for free

    The Improve at Harrahs. Obviously, the quality of that show varies based on the comedians. But the night I went, three comedians, 90 minutes of show, and I laughed only twice

    Different strokes for different folks.

    We are doing Love again next week - 10th time.
    We did Human Nature 2 or 3 times.
    Thought Gordie Brown did a nice show - took my 80 yr old Mom to it.

    Does not mean one person is right and the other is wrong. We are all different.

    After all, somebody had to buy those Pontiac Azteks, or the orange Gremlins - LOL!

    I know lots of people seem to enjoy the show. That is why we went.
    Maybe he was just having an off night or something. There were
    4 of us girls having a girls night out and we just all thought he looked
    unkempt and just got a bad vibe.

    Just booked Love for the wife and me. We have both sat together in our living room listening to ninety minutes of Beatle's music. I just can't picture the show being worse than that. And for further reference, we were seated at the bar at Boardwalk when they pulled a bedsheet to block our view of the the thirty chairs set up for the Elvis impersonator show; still a pretty good time.

    I think it was called "Bite" at the Stratosphere . It was a topless vampire rock revue of some sort. Combining all the drama of junior high school theatre with mediocre top 40 rock and the boobs of a second rate strip club, it lacked the kitch that made Jubileee fun.

    Blue Man Group

    Saw it a couple of years ago at the Luxor. They advertised it as "Avantgarde Theatre". No way.

    Would have been a nice 20$ afternoon show IMHO
