Back home, yayyyyy
We are back home safe and sound. But we did have fun. We saw Cirque du Soleil "O", which was the most incredible thin I have ever seen. In Buffy's words: "That was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life, and it's probably the most amazing thing I ever WILL see." And she's probably right. If any of you ever go to Las Vegas, do whatever you can to go see that show. It made our whole trip worth it - I would pay $1000 each to see it again. We saw Phantom of the Opera. It was the most excitement I've had in 20 years. In a terrifying sort of way. If you click that link, then click "The Show" and scroll down you will see the massive chandelier that the kids and I were sitting directly under. In our incredibly expensive seats. That should have had a "heart problem" warning on the tickets. That Chandelier comes crashing down ON US near the end of the play, stopping mere feet above our heads. From 60 feet above. The three of us were swearing for hours after the show, and my heart still thumps when I think about it. Overall... I thought the tickets should have been more like $50 - it wasn't that special... the chandelier had incredible effects and was scary and beautiful as heck, but I wasn't that impressed with the show. On the other hand, opera is not my thing. Buffy liked it, Spike liked some parts and was bored with others (the singing parts). We saw Nathan Burton, magician. I was not impressed. Neither was Spike, who does magic tricks himself. In fact, Nathan performed one trick that Spike had just purchased at the local Magic Shop down the street. I paid $27 for each of our tickets to see magic that my son and Buffy's friend have done themselves. Plus, the show was less than an hour long, and 15 minutes of it were video clips of "celebrities" (like Emmanuel Lewis! Oooh!) telling us how great Nathan is, that he's the "new David Copperfield". Some of the tricks were cool, but if my son can do most of them, I don't want to pay more than $10. Overall though, we did have a nice family weekend. We loved our room at the Venetian, we survived our plane rides, we survived our taxi rides, and I was very very very very very happy to leave Vegas and come home.
