LVL FAQ, Quick Questions, General Vegas Discussion, Etc - Page 693 - Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum - Las Vegas Entertainment and Living Information

I've played a ton of hours in Vegas and California since the early 2000s. The anecdote was representative of the general experience I had, which is why I offered it.

And yes, I don't remember ever seeing that happen before, with all the particular circumstances. Full table, 1/3, small (for live) open raise in EP. Even seeing an open for $8 is rare enough. It's usually some kid who is an online player who doesn't realize that he's just costing himself money.

I haven't been to Atomic Saloon and probably should.

I always recommend Absinthe. It's just a great show. I went last summer and took my sister and nephew. I put them on the end seats (on purpose). The host of the show thanked them for taking time out of their D&D game to come out and watch the show. It was such an on point joke. I think the best act was Billy & Emily England roller skating. They still have them on the billboards, but I haven't seen them in a while.

I do want to see Mad Apple. Seems like a hybrid cirque/spiegelworld show.

I'm sure it wouldn't get much traffic, but a cirque/show thread always seemed like a good idea.

I enjoy these shows less, the older I get. It's like I'm desensitized to experiences and sensations in general. Anyone else feel this?

No.

Try sitting 15 feet away from this

IMO, this is like saying I am desensitized to a hockey puck, baseball, or whatever passing inches from my face. You don't enjoy the game anymore?

If you want to know how difficult the act is, then try it. And rick should know better.

Random beer question:

Anyone know which casinos still offer Miller High Life among their "free" options please?

Thanks

Yeah not doubting the difficulty or impressiveness one bit. Yet wondering if the ostensible brother/sister sexual tension is a designed feature or a bug the performers are oblivious to.

Btw, This is why I love Vegas. Great acts can be seen any day.. I didn't think I had to explain why centripetal sex makes no sense,

I saw Atomic Saloon in late 2021 and had a great time

IIRC it was more plot-driven than Absinthe but can't really go wrong with either

The guy I sat next to thought so. He hated it. Complained the whole time.

what cirque show would a 14 and 12 year old (both girls) like the most? One of them is very into gymnastics if that makes a difference.

Mystère is more acrobatic. LOVE is loud bright and mostly dancing. I saw KA in like 2018 and liked it but the other two would probably be better for young girls.

Blue Man Group is another good choice

Lost Spirits is apparently closing - if people have a chance to make it there before the final day comes I'd strongly recommend it, I thought it was a cool experience.
