| - Opening night and some random observations & thoughts.
Building- Art Deco, much marble and genuinely outstanding. Worth a visit even if you're not going to a show.
Parking- plentiful outside plus garage.
Bathrooms- more marble and 5 star.
Bars - Only two downstairs plus one on fifth floor balcony area. They may have underestimated our thirst.
Theatre- Every seat offers perfect views. Many ushers, no drinks inside.
Sound- Perfection . No carpeting to enhance your experience, even in boxes.
Opening show. Long! Almost 3 hours!! Broadway stars, big voices and handsome/pretty. Dancers- top notch.
Stars! Jennifer Hudson- Beautiful, skinny, tall and WHAT a voice. Willy & Merle- old, gnarly and still cool! Martina McBride - HOT . Pat Monahan - Wifee says Hot. John Fogerty- Still rocking and FIVE songs! Carole King and Mavis Staples - Energetic and maybe biggest applause. Joshua Bell with his fiddle - Oh My.
Host - Neil Patrick Harris- great at reading the auto cue .
Vegas Elite- Mayor & Mr G. Best seats and seemed to enjoy, as they ought. George Maloof plus remarkably hot GF, good seats but left before the end. I saw you! Siegfried & Roy, I'm not sure of the name of the one that the tiger chewed up but after looking him over, I'm never getting a tiger. Everyone was here but far too many to list.
Jennifer closed the show with a fine rendition of " Take Care Of This House" backed by an excellent choir. Appropriate and most fitting.
The evening ended with champagne , big strawberries and cake pops.
Apparently they spent $470 million on this place. Worth EVERY penny, Vegas should be proud.
