Well not really, more like LOVE, the Beatles based Cirque de Soleil show we went to. Great costumes, arial work, dancing, obviously, but the lighting effects and projections were outstanding. They made Damien Albarn's Wonderland look like amateurs.
Vegas itself was like a warm Blackpool on speed but where Blackpool's lights have an overall theme this was just one place trying to outdo its neighbours. Unfortunately they tried to outdo them on sound too so wherever you were there were constant beats of 6 or 7 competing systems, even within one complex, the relative strength of each changing as you walked through. The net result was like being in the middle of Notting Hill Carnival but with inferior music.
