Best buy for Moulin Rouge?

Viator appears to have the best price for the show at Moulin Rouge.<BR><BR>For $77 they drive you by &quot;brilliantly illuminated monuments and squares,&quot; take you to the show and return you to (or near) your hotel. Their only catch is it might be the 11PM show instead or 9PM, and they give you a cruise if that happens. http://www.shop.viator.com/brochure/product_show.jsp?ID=1010&amp;PRODUCTID=1016&amp;CO DE=2050IMR<BR><BR>Anyone tried them, or have other recomendations?<BR><BR> Keith

Actually Keith - the best deal for the Moulin Rouge is to save the money and not go at all.<BR><BR>It is just so very touristy (and being a tourist, that doesn't usually bother me so much). I HATED it.<BR><BR>If you want a &quot;girly&quot; review go to the Crazy Horse saloon. Very seductive and wonderful dancers -- But it is not a major &quot;must&quot; either.

I haven't tried them but I do think that is a good deal. I've never seen any place that discounted it at all. I wouldn't expect the drive-by to amount to much, but the other price is less than the standard show-only price at the Moulin Rouge, so I don't see how you can go wrong.

OK Keith.<BR><BR>You have two answers from women.<BR><BR>Now from a guy.<BR><BR>I think if you are going to see a bit of French history still being played as opposed to going to see a 'tittilating' experience, I say go for it.<BR><BR>They are still replaying night after night a bit of French history.<BR><BR>How many people go to 'medeival banquets' for the experience, fully knowing they are fake?<BR><BR>The women in the Moulin Rouge have been raising their hands over their heads for a long time................

I have never attended the Moulin Rouge but on my trip to Paris I did attend the Spanish version called, (the entire name escapes me), &quot;Paradiso&quot;. It was OK for what it purports to be which is a Vegas type show for the tourists. My wife and I also went to a show at the Crazy Horse Saloon ($160.00 U.S. which included two mandatory drink purchases each). I thought it more tasteful and artistic then the &quot;Paradiso&quot;, but at the price charged would consider it a &quot;one time experience&quot;. None of these shows are a bargain.
