Not what the doctor ordered

While the Better Half and I managed to quaff at least some of the infamous bacon martini w/o negative ramifications, we were not so fortunate with Sunday night's visit to a certain casino buffet. Suffice it to say that the carnitas cosseted a modest case of Montezuma's Revenge and that blogorrhea was KO'd by otherrhea.

So I'm taking advantage of a 20-minute lull between a doctors' visit and a trip to the dentist to bang this out. The big news in Vegas this morning is the collapse of a rebar column out at the McCarran International Airport expansion, injuring five. So far there have been no fatalities, thank God.

A Bataan Death March of shows continues tonight with Sin City Bad Girls at the Las Vegas Hilton. I wriggled out of seeing Todd Paul at Hooters last night, though I hear he was very funny. (Hooters scares me; is death contagious?) Wednesday brings yet another visit to Phantom of the Opera, followed on Thursday by Peepshow 2.0 and a Friday pair of one-acts featuring members of Insurgo Theater Movement. After which, I will not leave my apartment for a long, long time.

GREGRIO's Gravatar BAD GIRLS has actually recieved pretty good
reviews for a 'jiggle' show. I'll check it out in a couple weeks
after what I hope will be a more guaranteed good evening
of entertainment (in the same LVHilton Shimmer lounge)
when I see VOICES...
Making an effort and trying to enjoy yourself David is the breast you can do...
...looking forward to your thoughts on BAD GIRLS.

EDC's Gravatar A buddy saw the "sin city" show and said it wasn't bad. Is there some reason you don't want to see the Phantom show? We were planning to see it after summer is over.

Jeff in OKC's Gravatar Saw Peepshow and Bad Girls the same weekend a couple months ago. And we stayed at Hooters a year or so ago. Loved Hooters for its cozier, laid back feel, especially in the mornings. Loved Peepshow, as well. Thought Bad Girls was good, nothing new, or big budget (which is to be expected), but I was hoping for a little more burlesque, and humor, which is what I hear the Sin City Kitties (by the same producers) has.

David McKee's Gravatar "Sin City Kitties" is very good -- a Strip-quality show at a fraction of the price. You can rationalize the trip to Primm by bundling it with a visit to the outlet mall, which is also excellent.

Per "Phantom," I've seen it three or four times already and a certain "Phantom phatigue" is setting in. Besides, the cuts to the score -- some niggling, some massive -- aren't to my liking.

EDC's Gravatar I'll keep that in mind as I've seen two incarnations at the LA arts theater, one with Michael Crawford, the other with Davis gaines.
