| - With all the times I've been to Vegas, I'd never seen the show at Freemont Street.
I've been there during the day for cheap food/drinks/people watching - but have heard over and over I *have* to see it at night.
Meh.
Yes, it's a free block party.
Yes, all walks of life.
Yes, cheap and abundant drinks.
Casinos, souvenirs and freaks. What could be bad?
It wasn't bad...but I don't consider myself any better off having done it. We stayed long enough for me to see three "shows."
Tributes to Bon Jovi, Queen and the Doors. After the level of disappointment in the Queen tribute (the others had a few songs and were MUCH louder, showing off the sound system. Queen was barely audible and only "We Are the Champions"), I was ready to leave - but we happily stayed long enough for the Doors. Somehow, in the setting of Freemont Street at night, "People Are Strange" is the perfect thing to hear. Nice way to end the evening and not leave a terrible taste in my mouth. (Hell, I had a 48 ounce daiquiri - it was a yummy taste in my mouth!)
If I am with people who want to go there, I wouldn't try to sway the vote another way - but I don't think I'd suggest it as a thing to do.
Like I said, Meh.
