On The Road Again - Las Vegas

June 23, 2009 @ 22:43

Like I've done many times over the past couple of years since I've started this blog, I'm going to take you on the road with me again.

This time to Las Vegas, where me, my wife Delyse and my two kids Melanie and Danny will spend three nights and four days on the strip this weekend where we'll see three shows and maybe take a side trip to the Hoover Dam.

The main reason for making this trip is to see "LOVE" by Cirque du Soleil at the Mirage on Friday night, but we'll also see "O" by Cirque du Soleil on Thursday night at the Bellagio and Bette Midler at Caesars Palace on Saturday night.

Delyse and I have always loved the Beatles and the constant sound of the fab four in our house over the years turned the kids into huge fans as well.

Ask either one of my kids what the greatest song ever written is and chances are very good they'll say "Imagine", because it's been drilled into their heads since they were old enough to think.

However, if they say "In My Life" instead, then I'll cut them some slack.

Delyse and I have taken many trips "without" the kids, but going to Las Vegas to see "LOVE" was something that we always designated as a family trip..... and thanks to a fortunate series of events over the past few weeks it all came together.

And I know what some of you are thinking, Bette Midler?

Sorry, but Delyse and Melanie absolutely adore Bette, and I'm not far behind. Her 1970's album "The Devine Miss M" remains one of my favourites.

So Thursday morning we'll be hopping a US Airways flight out of Pearson to spend a very busy four days in a pretty cool place, but I don't mean cool literally because it supposed to be close to 40 degrees celcius while we're there.

I think me and Dan will have some beers while we're there.

I'll take my nifty little Nikon with me and send back a daily report.

AWWWW, Fred! Lucky you! But you've also got to go to Jubilee Show at Ballys - the girls are topless!

My favourite hotels are Caesar's Palace and MGM Grand... :D

My son was valedictorian yesterday at his grad so I am acutely aware of how fast it all goes. You've done the best thing ever - you've designed/created an opportunity where all of you can be together enjoying all the same stuff, pretty much. Laugh a lot and be sure to enjoy your kids - yes, they are of course young adults, but as that famous author-guy told us, as long as we're living, our babies they will be (for us to know, and for them to experience when they're us).

Hey ya bugger...I've been down here since Sunday, flying back today (Friday) on the same airline.

Had a good week...freaking hot as you know. You'll love "Love"...best show in Vegas.

You and Doll should have dinner at Mon Ami Gabi at the Paris. Try for the patio seats...best view of the Strip.

Have a great time Freddie. I don't think you've been here since the Maxim hotel with Doug back in the early '80s, right?

Sen. Graham refers to Glen Beck a "positive force". Isn't that a wee bit like labelling Rick Sanchez for an specialist on Judaism?

Lindsay Lohan “I have hardly ever abused medications. I never have – never during my life. I've no desire to. And that is not who I am,” Lindsay Lohan says. “I’ve admitted to what I’ve done – to, you no doubt know, dabbling using some things and looking things ’cause I felt younger and wondering and thought it had been like, o . k, ’cause other people used to do it and folks placed it around me. And I see what manifested in my life considering of it.”

The actual show sister spouses is actually sickening. It's unfortunate what individuals consider love these days.

Lohan Is going to Rehabilitation Today. If this is not really just her planning to avoid prison then really it is stupid! She's going to head off to jail of at least 4 weeks inspite of who the judge is. For sure in LA so 6-8 days!

Replica Girls Handbags certainly have their place in our society today. Compare the cost of the products of an imitation. Many people would be out of the loop when no replicas are available. In reality, these people can only covet the original product was not your financial reality. Replica products are well made and built with the best materials and the style of fashion before. Perhaps they are not about the logo of a brand well-known designers, but they are nothing less than a product of the class.
