Excellent show, very unique, I'd say its a 'got to see'...can't explain the show because I don't want to spoil it but its a visual and sensory assault on the senses...but in a good way.

can anyone tell me what the house of blues at mandalay bay is like as a venue, before I book tickets for The Script who are playing there.

i have mixed feelings about it,

yes its very unique and an experience
however I feel the tickets are very overpriced.


I saw it in the UK tour and paid only 10£ a tickett as they couldnt sell enough, and yes I enjoyed but If I would have paid 40£ I would have been very dissapointed
In vegas I belive its even more expensive than that

stoneman, been meaning to ask you for a while, but if you get any more Platinum Hotel offers floating your way, can you post them here?

Will do, we actually got a good offer by emailing Claire the house manager direct and saying that we have enjoyed previous stays and could she do us a good deal. Got a Princess suite with Comp WiFi and a bottle of wine for $109 a night including weekends in May.

We saw it in London for £20 - lastminute.com - we loved it, had excellent seats - 5th or 6th row on the main aisle, we got to be part of the show (not on stage)...thought it was great, really fun...very different and some people hate it but not us. I do agree that the Vegas version is a tad on the pricey side...though I would think that having a dedicated theatre might mean that the show is that much more interesting...we've never quite gotten to the point of trying the Vegas version because the tickets are soooo much more than we paid for it in London.

Re BMG. Hubby enjoyed it, I just thought it was OK.

I find all Vegas shows really expensive, but we still see about 4 shows per trip. It used to be 6-7, but we have seen so many now that we are running out of shows to see.

Thanks for advice on BMG. And yep, tickets are pricey. About $100pp. Smarter Vegas have a 40% off code, but I can only get great seats at the front or the cheapest ones with poncho's (assume these people will be getting wet). Want something in between. Will keep looking......

I must admit I know the tickets are all overpriced, and at home, I'd never pay it, but when you consider what you could lose at the tables in an hour, we convince ourselves that it's not as bad as it seems.... :rotfl: We'll always see 2-3 shows each trip. Viva Elvis is top of my list this trip (shame it's dark (night off) on our anniversary night)).......
