Crazy Horse Show at MGM (was LeFemme)

We were able to purchase 1/2 price tickets that morning at the 1/2 price outlet by the Fashion Showcase Mall near Wynn and TI. The show was very tasteful and rather sensual—more so than other topless shows we have seen (Jubilee, Zumanity, and Fantasy). We enjoyed this one—the girls are very talented dancers and the routines are different and classy. The theater is rather small—but wide—I think it might be hard to see the full effect and full stage area if seated way on the sides. We were in the back but just to the right of mid center and could see perfectly— see no reason to pay full price for this show as it is usually available at the 1/2 price ticket outlets. Red velvet interior, table or booth seating, drinks are for sale. Good for couples looking for a sexy show that is classy and not crude.

While I was there, a boxing match was staged. I'm not a boxing fan, but the atmosphere in the arena was intense. I enjoyed it.

We just returned from the Singature on Tuesday. We stayed there Monday and Sunday night. While we were not subjected to hordes of drunken 22 year olds or the squeals of families of kids, I can easily see how this could occurr. We had a family next door to our room in the suite and it gave my wife and I pause -- if we can hear them then they can hear us, all you lovebirds out there catch my drift? Don't get me wrong, we got over this concern in about 5 minutes, because Vegas is a town for adults so it was their problem - not ours. Truth be told, we really didn't see or hear from these people after seeing them check into their room. But I agree with "identity crisis" review -- they REALLY should not put families and couples in rooms next door to each other.

A DIGRESSION ABOUT FAMILIES WHO BRING KIDS TO VEGAS: Kids are fine and all, but the reality is that my wife and I do not go to Vegas to be around kids, period. We don't want to see them there and I can't stand when families bring their kids there. People, get the hint. The "family-friendly Vegas" experiment is OVER. It didn't work. Why? Because it was scaring away the grown ups. Parents, get the hint: Vegas does not want you there with your kids. There's a ton of other places for children in the Southwestern United States. Go there. Please. And yes, if you were in Vegas last week with your kids and saw some guy giving you a dirty look, that was me.

One more thing, the big difference in our experience from "Identity Crisis" maybe was because was that we were there on a Sunday and Monday in the dead of August (which is exactly when we go to Vegas -- we live in SoCal so we just got in the car and go). If we were there on a Friday or Saturday, I can easily see how our experiences may have been similar.

The taxi deposited us at the MGM main entrance. Stepping into the lobby I was awed by its size. I wonder if it is ever crowded in there. In the center was a gold lion on a pedestal. Every few steps there was a bronze tile in the floor with the lion logo. Lets face it, there were lions everywhere. But that is what we came to see. That and the slot machines.

The massive casino occupies the space of four football fields. At last I found a good use for football fields. We wandered around until we found the type of video slots we like best. My husband found a spot where he could also watch the lions in the Lion Habitat. The MGM has six real lions. Only two are released into the habitat at the same time. At 11:00am the first pair are put on display. As cat owners we knew what they would do…sleep. One stretched out on the rock floor while the other hopped up to the top of the glass tunnel for her snooze. Optimistically I thought the glass tunnel would lead to more lions on exhibit. Wrong! It led to the gift shop. At 10:00pm the habitat viewing is closed. I know that’s when those darn cats get lively. For free it is a good exhibit.

MGM grand has a wide selection of restaurants from the theme-type like Rainforest Café to Emeril’s. We had been eating fancy for several days so we selected the food court, “Farmers Market”. I finally got to try a Nathan’s Famous hot dog. My husband bought something sinfully rich at Haagen Dazs.

Next door to the North is the Showcase Mall. This is home to all the M&M and Coca Cola brand merchandise you could ever hope for. Unless you are traveling with your kids, skip this money trap. We did buy very expensive cherry cokes at the Coke Soda Fountain that tasted pretty good on a hot day. We did have our only Vegas celebrity sighting near the M&M NASCAR display. It was Garrison Keillor from Prairie Home Companion.

I think the MGM would be a good place to stay. Casino paid off well. Good selection of restaurants. There are skywalks to Tropicana, New York, New York, and from there to Excalibur. Plenty of shows within a short walk or monorail ride. Expansion to the Northeast promises even more options.
