This is a very enjoyable show featuring various percussion instruments made of pipes, tubes, and other items accented with strobe and colored liquids and lights set to the beat of loud, rhythmic music played by a score of blue-painted-head people and the musicians, who are made to look like skeletons of various colors.

The performers pull in the audience and add comic routines much in the same way Red Skelton did without talking. It's really a fun time.

Due to the very loud music and noises, this show may be too intense for a small child. It would, however, be a great one to take your older bored children to while in Las Vegas. It will be a memorable evening.

Ticket prices are approximately $85 each. Shows are nightly at 7pm, with an additional 10pm performance three days a week.

I had the opportunity to see them in a very small theatre in New York a few years ago, and it was one of the best shows I can recall. My only concern about seeing them in Las Vegas was wondering if they would be able to take a show designed for a small room and make it "big enough" for a Las Vegas showroom. They did not disappoint.

It is hard to adequately describe a BMG show. They never speak, but communicate through music and motion, and some parts of the show are very funny. There is audience participation, and you are asked to read and sing along with the music at various points. They play a multitude of percussion instruments, most of them handmade from PVC pipe and other unusual items. There are strobe and other lighting effects throughout the show, as well as a lot of splattering paint and miscellaneous items flying around. In fact, when I saw them in NY, they ruined my shirt! They avoid that here by providing ponchos to guests in the first few rows, but don't worry too much since I'm sure they don't want you to go home and change your clothes instead of staying after the show and gambling. Like I said, it's hard to describe.

Summary: Blue Man Group is sort of like Drum Planet meets Gallagher meets Mummenshantz, but you really have to see it to believe it. This show caters mostly to a 20 to 30-something crowd due to the volume, although there is nothing offensive about it that would prevent you from bringing your kids (or parents). If you are looking for a nice quiet relaxing evening, see the coma-inducing "O" at Bellagio, but if you want something with some edge and some rock to it, don't miss Blue Man Group. And don't forget to stick around after the show to meet the Blue Men in the lobby, take pictures with them, and have them "autograph" your tickets. One last thing... DO NOT get to the show late! You will understand what I mean when you see the show. Highly recommended.

Shows are every night at 7 and 10pm, get tickets at luxor.com or by calling 800-577-7428, about $80.
