Cher is Prepared to Mesmerize at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas

If you’ll be in Las Vegas between May and August this year, you’ll have a chance to see a world-class show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.  Caesars Palace is known for hosting nothing but the best entertainment acts at this spectacular venue, but even at The Colosseum, Cher is truly something special.

Cher’s latest song and dance extravaganza will feature nothing less than state-of-the-art special effects, elaborate choreography, incredible costumes and a support crew of more than a dozen dancers.  Not only that, four aerialists will take to the stage in this complex visual spectacle.

If you’ve ever seen Cher, you know her shows are intense and her energy and enthusiasm are unstoppable. Even at 61, Cher insists this is her most creative show ever.  It’s hard to doubt a Diva that never fails to perform beyond your wildest expectations.

What’s in store for the audience at The Colosseum this year?  In addition to all the singing and dancing, Cher promises to keep you mesmerized with a different stage set for every song.  This is an unimaginable feat, even for Las Vegas, and this is one concert you won’t want to miss.  Leave it to Cher to aspire to achieve what’s never been done before at The Colosseum.

The Colosseum is an elegant, intimate venue that seats just over 4,000.  There’s not a bad seat in the house, but when you’re ready to score the hottest Cher tickets log onto StubHub.com.

Lied Discovery Children’s Museum

Unless you let your kids play craps, blackjack, or bet on their video games, then you probably have avoided Las Vegas as one of your family hotspots for vacation. But just because Vegas doesn’t have an honored mouse running around with all of his little friends in the kingdom doesn’t mean you should ignore what the beautiful desert city has to offer families like yours or mine. Sure, when you think of the City of Sin and their “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” motto, you aren’t thinking of children’s activities. But one of the greatest places families can go in the sandy, lit up strip of Nevada is the Lied Discovery Children’s Museum.

With over 22,000 square feet of exhibits, your kids will get to enjoy a hands-on experience as they learn about art, science, humanities and early childhood. There are currently 100 permanent exhibits kids can interact and learn while having fun at the same time. And to keep things more interesting, and families coming back year after year, of course, is by offering a rolling schedule of temporary featured exhibits, such as Clifford and Grossology: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body to get the kids’ imaginations moving. You know how kids love to learn about yucky stuff. And the best part is they can touch everything in the museum, which will keep them more interested than if they were in a more formal learning environment that represents a cold funeral home. In addition to the wide array of exhibits for the little ones to get their hand son, there are also several educational programs to keep the learning process going.

Another important feature is the price it costs to get in. With all the fun and interactive education you and your children will get, you would think it should cost more than the $7-8 admission fee, right? And at a time when vacation budgets are being cut, it is important to get the most bang for your buck. So next time you are near the town of secrecy, feel comfortable knowing that there are places like this you can take the kids to for some pure, clean fun. And who knows, you might just end up having a great time with them!

Gregory Popovich’s Pet Comedy Theater

If you ever go on vacation with the family, I am more than positive you have never considered Las Vegas. I mean, “Sin City” a place to bring the kids? All that gambling, liquor, and adult entertainment would be enough to prevent Vegas from entering the arena of vacation planning, right? Well, you may not know this, but there are plenty of things to do with the kids in the land of “evil”. And the funny part is that some of them are located right in the heart of the strip.

All kids love pets. At least, all of mine do, and since I have five then majority rules, I suppose. And nothing is funnier than when pets take on a human persona and run with it. So for some good family entertainment that doesn’t involve scantily clad cocktail waitresses and clouds of cigarette smoke, then you have to take the kiddies to Gregory Popovich’s Comedy Pet Theatre . Playing at the V Theater in the Planet Hollywood casino, this show is perfect for all ages. Cats, bird, mice, birds and more join their talents with humans to create the craziest circus you have ever seen before in your life. All of the animals are rescued from shelters across the country and have been trained to tale part in this amazing show.

Watch as the animals entertain the audience and fill the theatre with laughter as their little vignettes are simple yet hilarious. I mean, a cat pushing a dog in a stroller? How can anybody not find that absolutely amusing? Pets acting as humans are always fun to watch. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. Give your kids something they will be talking about forever, and even you the parent will be talking about it for years to come. But if you are planning on catching this show, buy your tickets early and make reservations. The word is out and it is one of the hardest shows to get into.

You won’t even know you are in a casino environment while sitting in the show, letting your family enjoy the other side of Sintown. And this is just one of the many family attractions that Vegas has to offer. So what are you waiting for? With shows like this, you will now have a reason to bring the family to the desert city that never sleeps.

Follow The Money Vegas!

According to Online Casino Advisory , in 1990 42 percent of Las Vegas revenue came from non-gambling sources, hotel room rates and restaurants. in 2007, that number increased to 59 percent.

However, I disagree with the articles premise that Vegas should return to its roots and focus on gambling as its primary source of income. Not that I have anything against gambling. But, you’ll have to admit gambling oftentimes comes with a negative connotation. It’s a different world today than the world that built Vegas. Gambling is a losing proposition statistically speaking. Plus, it is my honest belief that more and more people don’t want to lose money gambling. Those that do like gambling for the sake of gambling are content with nearby Indian Casinos to save on gas! A bad economy along with high gas prices, a declining Real Estate market, of course Vegas gambling will be affected!

Also, Market Watch reports a drop of 4% in gambling revenue while non-gaming revenue stayed flat on a quarter-over-quarter basis.

If a product is selling off the shelves making 42%-59% of your revenue and remains flat while your other revenue sources decline then doesn’t common sense dictate, to get more of that product?

Just do a Google search and you’ll see a slew of articles and websites that help travelers find things to do in Vegas that don’t involve gambling. Gambling should no longer be primary reason to visit Vegas.

Closing Shows

More signs of a slowing economy. We have a list of closing shows.

The Las Vegas Lounge just put out "Vegas Show News: The Latest on What’s Closing and When". It’s a sad day when a favorite show is closing. Michelle Snows Star Trek Experience article hits close to my own heart.

You know what they say, when one door closes another one opens. Who knows what the future brings? Perhaps some great new shows come out of this!
