Seen yesterday at the Luxor ticket booth: A video message promising 35% off Believe tickets if you stay at the King Tut place between Tuesday and Thursday (inclusive).
Heck, just last week Luxor trotted out one of the most "george" package deals I've ever come across: For a two-night/$420 stay, you'd get: "all you can eat at the buffet" (LVA readers don't like it and neither did I), plus pairs of comped tickets to the Titanic and "Bodies" exhibitions (S&G recommends the former, won't go near the latter -- creeptastic); free admission to both LAX and CatHouse; Nurture spa day passes; and, yes, a pair of freebie seats for Believe.
At a very conservative estimate, that's $431 in comps for a $420 room (not including hotel taxes are sundry add-ons). Yes, Vegas is giving away the store.
And yet ... not so desperate that you can score free tix for Fantasy. No, you are condemned to see Believe. If it wasn't clear right after opening night, it's painfully evident now that if this vanity production were any more of a dog it'd have mange. Forget a 10-year contract. This turkey will be lucky to eke out 10 months.
(The best Cirque du Soleil show remains Ka, which has some famous fans.)
What's more, you can enter a drawing to win Criss Angel's automobile (a Corvette, I seem to recall). If that car is anything like Angel's show, as soon as you get the keys and registration, it'll have to go into the shop for weeks of vague "fixations."

body, I gulped a bit, but one soon overcomes the strangeness of it all and appreciates the information. I've seen "Bodies" three times in other cities where it's been shown but generally they have most of the same exhibits at each one. Having a knee or hip replacement? You can see how the
new metal knees and hips will fit into your bones. Smoke too much? They show a smoker's lungs...ugh! Then they show a life-long smoker who quit smoking six months before he died. It's incredible how the human body can repair itself. Drink too much? They show a liver swollen and blackened by cirrhosis. Then incredibly,
a liver a completely healed liver from a person who had been diagnosed with cirrhosis but quit several years before he died. I quit drinking after seeing "Bodies." Okay...okay...for a few days anyway. Every student in the LV school system should see it....actually everyone should see it. Hey...it's your body...learn how it
works. Five star exhibit.
