| - Save your dollars, work your ass off, turn some tricks if you must, but SEE THIS SHOW!!
I have been an Elton John fan my whole life. Having grown up with his music, my two princesses are as well. So when we took them to Las Vegas to celebrate the younger one's college graduation (WooooHoooooooo!!) and found out it coincided with The Million Dollar Piano show, we knew we must take the girls.
This is a fabulous venue with damn near flawless acoustics. Elton John is still, amazingly, at the top of his game. Creatively, the show is a marvel. Do I love it more than The Red Piano? I couldn't make a choice if I had to. This one is a little less raunchy and a little more sentimental. Both are amazing.
Once again, we went for the really, really good seats. Seeing my grown daughters speechless with wonder was worth all that and more. Let's take a minute to explore exactly why:
An Elton John song was the theme for my high school prom.
When my girls were young, The Lion King was THE MOVIE THAT PLAYED ENDLESSLY. You parents know what I mean. There is one movie that your kids want again and again and again and again.....
My oldest was, at the time we saw this show, expecting her first baby.
Cue the waterworks. The Circle of Life. Wow. Thank you, Sir Elton John, for providing our family with 2 hours we will never, ever forget.
