| - Now, I'm going to be honest in saying that I didn't think that this show was going to be as elaborate as it was. I had seen advertisements around the strip basically saying, "Boobs! Vampires! Vampire boobs! Come see them!" And me, being the terrible pervert and vampire aficionado that I am, I went to see the vampire boobies. I ended up getting a coupon off of the Stratosphere website last minute that gave me 2 for 1 seats, so we got there a little after the show started and I bought what was available.
We ended up with some seats in the very back. A booth with a table. From the map, I thought I was going to be really disappointed and not be able to see anything. When we got in, it's true that we were a little far from the stage, but not so far as in a larger Cirque Du Soleil theater where you can't even see the performers' facial expressions well. Here, the view is still decent, but the reason I'm giving this show FOUR STARS for the seat alone is because this is the place to go for romance. The booth has a very, very high back and wide space. My significant other and I had this table to ourselves with no one behind us and everyone in front with their eyes glued to the stage. Needless to say, things were SEXAY. I highly recommend going past your instincts and getting a back booth if you go here. You save money and will have a better time.
As for the show itself, it was cheesy in concept, but come on. Vampire boobies? You knew it was cheesy when you were going in! And they do have some talented performers. The girls were hot, the acrobatics were awesome (the people swinging around together on those ribbons... HOT), and the music is classic for a reason. The singer that they have is amazing, what with singing a perfect opera tenor and belting out all those classic rock high notes. I got a lot more production value and dancing than I had anticipated, and that's totally cool with me. I do wish they had a little bit more boob showing considering they advertise as being topless, but they are only topless less than half of the time it seemed. The drinks actually weren't that badly-priced considering it's Vegas for crying out loud. I believe I paid $20 for two cocktails, but that's nothing compared to the $30+ for two drinks they try to steal from you elsewhere.
