Living it up in the Sin City: Paid Exhibitions & Shows in Las Vegas

In my previous post, I blogged about the stuff that you can do while on a budget in Las Vegas. Now, I'll talk about the shows and exhibitions that we went for which were pretty much worth every penny!

Peering through the glass of Vegas

Night shows

There are over 100 shows available in Las Vegas, hence choosing one or two for your stay can be quite daunting. To make things simpler, these shows can be broken down into a few main categories:

1) Cirque Du Soleil
2) Burlesque Shows
3) Magic and Illusions
4) Musicals and Concerts

Unless you are staying in Vegas for a month or so, I'm quite sure picking one or two from each category would be more than enough to fill your nightly itinerary for paid shows in Vegas.

Viva Las Vegas: No money, no worries

After an arduous long 5 hours drive from LA, we reached the city with all the secrets - Las Vegas. The sheer number of things that you can do in Las Vegas is overwhelming, where anytime of the day (0000 - 2359hr) there is always something to do. On top of that, irregardless of one's age, there is something for everyone.

Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas

To prove my point, here's how a typical day would work.

1000h - Wake up for breakfast and go Shopping (e.g Outlet Shopping, Ross, many many boutiques down the strip including the Palazzo and Caesars)

1300h - Lunch and more shopping or hop down to any attractions (e.g Shark Reef Aquarium, or Body works in various hotels) along the strip

1800h - Dinner. You can either go for their dirt cheap buffet or try something upscale like Gordan Ramsay's steakhouse at Paris.

2000h - Here's where the fun begin. Go for a show (ranging from a musical to burlesque dancing, the circus, magic shows to outdoor special effect shows) or simply chill out at one of the pubs/lounges to here top notched singers (e.g Celine Dion at Caesars) perform.

2000h - Its PARTY TIME or You can just hit the casinos. This would probably end only when you are a) Too tired -- therefore calling it a night or b) Penniless out of your freaking mind, which in fact, would end your day too.

Most importantly - the cycle repeats itself, with each day going to a new outlet/hotel/show/casinos enjoying yourselves.

Vegas From the Top

The number of attractions on the strip itself is enough to fill up your entertainment calendar for a month, so with only 4 nights, I could not enjoy ALL of them. So I'll just stick to what I went through and give a feel of what to expect and my reviews of entertainments I visited.
