Day 330, 30 May 2013, Las Vegas, Nevada - Big trip to the Tix4Tonight booth this morning... Managed to get (just) tickets to Cirque du Soleil ("Love") - it's important to specify which Cirque, because in Vegas there are 6-8 running at different venues at any one time. Also tickets to David Copperfield afterwards. Many dreams of my childhood are coming true on this trip - and seeing David Copperfield is definitely one of them. I say we "just" got tickets becaus...

Day 329, 29 May 2013, Las Vegas, Nevada - Ultra Tour of the Las Vegas Strip. Now not to flog a dead horse (harp on... go on about... or repeat ourselves....) BUT - we are only doing Vegas once and spending 3.5 hours cruising up and down the Strip in a stretch limo with Presidential Limos and chauffeur extraordinaire Otis is definitely the way to do it. We saw the Sirens of Treasure Island and the Pirate show (flash, bang, splash, burn and all done in glitzy bik...

Day 328, 28 May 2013, Grand Canyon, Arizona (There, and you thought we were in Vegas!) On the basis that we really only want to visit Las Vegas once, and the thought of being cooped up in a bus for an 8 hour roundtrip and 4 hours in the blistering noon heat on the ground at the Canyon was incomprehensible, we gave up and threw money at the problem. What problem? How to see the Grand Canyon in the most time effective way possible. And the queasiest. As it turn...

Day 327, 27 May 2013, Las Vegas, Nevada - Shows at the Rio.... "The Rat Pack is Back" (www.ratpackisback.com) and Penn & Teller (www.pennandteller.com) It killed us to do it, but we forsook the shady early hours at the pool and tripped down the Strip to one of the multitudes of "tix4tonite" booths. We spent some time yesterday figuring out a hit list of things we'd like to see if the price was right, so went in forearmed with knowledge of how much tickets ...

Day 326, 26 May 2013, MGM Garden Arena, Las Vegas - FLEETWOOD MAC IN CONCERT!!! These legends are due to perform in Australia in November 2013... but I'm pretty sure we'd need another mortgage to see them then - so that's why it's ticking the box for "Rock Concert" during our year of Not Being Grownups. We were definitely showing signs of life this morning and we stepped onto the 34th floor balcony to sea the moon setting over the desert mountains - incredible ...
