Ya Gotta Love Vegas


Last weekend I went to the Palazzo Theater to see Clint Holmes new show "Between the Lines" a fabulous show but then what did I expect? it's Clint Holmes the entertainer of the year for many years here in Las Vegas. The show was fantastic but show room blew me away, it's old style vegas with comfy sofas and jazz club style tables and chairs. Love that room

This weekend I was back at the Palazzo theater to see the show BAZ the show that comes on right before Clint and uses the same room. BAZ is a tribute to 3 movies/love stories...2 of the classics, Romeo & Juliet, The Great Gatsby and Moulin Rouge....LOVED all 3 or of these love stories. The show was very avant Gard...very artsy so different and really good except ....the band was so loud you couldn't really hear any of the dialog or hear the words of the songs. I know all these stories very well so I could follow along but bless the people who didn't, they were lost. Maybe it was just something off that night..hope so. If you are looking for something different to do go see this one.

Another Great night of music



Wow!! if you never caught a Frankie Moreno show do it while you can and while he is at the Smith Center. This is the second time I have seen him and he and his band just blow me away. This show is NOT to be mistake for the "Frank Marino Diva" show...these are 2 different entertainers with the same last name but spelled different and VERY different shows, people always think they are one in the same NOT. Frankie's show is amazing he really knows how to get his crowd going and keeps the energy in the show room at the highest high.... and can you say charisma? He has got "IT". A great night out, he has a few more shows at the Smith Center in the que, go check him out you will be glad you did ...and oh, he is at the Cabaret theater at the Smith Center

Some Guys Have All The Luck...and charisma



 Another great night, went to see Rod Stewart on Sunday night,the show was fantastic! I was so excited to share the evening with some great friends, my friend Lynn is an old high school buddy that I haven't seen it 40 years she was in town and I was so happy we were able to spend 2 nights together and share the memories of our childhood and what better way to do that but with the music from our childhood...Rod was just the perfect concert to share. I saw this concert about a year and a half ago and his show just keeps getting better and better. So much fun catching up with you Lynn and it's always a fun night with the Scott's too.

My First UBER...and it won't be my last

So Last night I was on a mission to kidnap some very good friends who have done so much for me this past year and half, I wanted to treat them to a evening out. We met up at Bahama Breeze for an amazing dinner, hint...get the spicy jerk chicken dinner, it was to die for. I had told them not to plan anything for the evening because I had them captured for the night. After dinner we went out front and I called my very first UBER to take us to the Mirage to see the new Beatle Love show. The Uber App is amazing, it took 2 min for our Uber driver to arrive in what looked like a brand new car, our driver was a super sweet girl who drives for both Uber and Lyft on the weekends and has a full time job during the day. The ride on the strip was great since Streisand was in town last night the strip traffic was terrible. It took us about 5 min to get from the restaurant to the Mirage and the total bill for 3 people as $6.90...you can't get a taxi for 3 people for that people!! The Uber driver told us when we were ready to get a ride back to our cars to go to the North Valet at the Mirage and there is a Uber Pick up right there. It was so simple, we walked back to the area opened the Uber app and requested a car and 1 min later ...Whaa la we are on our way back to get our cars. LOVE Uber and so glad I finally tried it out, set up a free Uber account before you need it. They will ask you for your form of payment, I like to use Pay Pal so after the ride is over you will get a notification on your phone that Uber has been paid...and OH before you take your ride you can get a free estimate on what it will cost so there are no surprises.
