The whole reason we planned a trip to Vegas was to see Bette Midler. My Mom saw her perform at a concert in central park in the 70's on her way to fly to Europe. I always heard her tell that story and thought that since I've become such a Bette fan myself, it would be a great experience to see her perform together in Vegas. She's just such a stellar old school performer. She has these little quips thrown in between songs and a knack for interacting with the audience. Not to mention her cast of back up dancers that help carry the show. She can belt it out like nobodies business. And she looked AMAZING in costume after costume.
