Part of the road trip was a required stop in Las Vegas. This was not required for booze, gambling, or hookers. This was put on the "i want it now" list because of a Cirque du Soleil show starring Criss Angel. I had no idea who this guy was or even his stichk...but after seeing pictures of "victorian broken dolls" online i knew i had to go. Tickets were pricey...but it's freakin Cirque du Soleil and a guy with a TV show who can apparently levitate. After having seen the show i can honestly say it was more than worth it. Georgeous costumes and fantastic Cirque du Soleil style dream sequences left nothing to be desired. I sat on the edge of my seat the entire show having to remind myself to close my mouth and not oggle the costumes too much here and there."Criss Angel Believe" The show began as appearing to be a standard Magic show. Very quickly a twist is taken and the dreaming begins. There is a fantastic Alice in Wonderland feel with all sort of different rabbits throughout the show as they are the "Magician's Best Friend". The rabbits also help pull you down the rabbit hole into a world were Victorian dolls are broken and twisted, rabbits feed on human flesh, and disembodied animal heads doing acrobatics aren't so weird and they are
fantastically entertaining.If you are going through Vegas in the next six months or before the show closes it's a must see. I managed to restrain myself and walk away with only a program to keep the memories alive (the soundtrack isn't going to be released until November!!!)...but if anyone has some free time when i get home it's worth a mighty long oggling session as there are corsets, stripper shoes, 10 foot train skirts, and Victorian evil rabbits ga-lore!!!
