Being a lover of magic and good magicians, we were also able to see the famous Lance Burton, and David Copperfield in Vegas. Two fantastic shows which will have you scratching your heads for years trying to figure out how some of these illusions were accomplished. On our most recent trip we were fortunate enough to see the new Criss Angel “Believe” show at the Luxor hotel. Criss has teamed up with Cirque du Soliel to create the most artistic and enjoyable performance I have seen in a long time. The performance is a magic show with an underlying story, as Criss lives through a dreamworld which only the folks at Cirque du Soliel could create - truly worth seeing. The only downside to our Las Vegas experience is one which all newcomers should be warned of. Being approached by “hotel staff” with the promise of free event tickets (and even cash in some cases) for a “few minutes” of our time to check out some of the hotel’s newest properties located just off the strip, in the hopes that we may stay there at a reduced cost the next time we visit. Sounds pretty reasonable, maybe even something we would consider. However, once getting hooked into listening to a 3 hour sales pitch for time share properties, and then spending almost another hour trying to convince the barrage of hardcore sales staff that we were not interested whatsoever, we were completely drained and even the free tickets left a bad taste in our mouths. Unless you are interested in time share properties, don’t let these people trick you into wasting your valuable time in Las Vegas!
