I'm going to Vegas for the 1st time ever for my 40th bday, and I live in Atlanta, obviously a city that already gets all the big concert performers, selection of Cirque du Soleil performances and comedians. So, I'm looking for a suggestion to see a show that is indicative of Las Vegas and all its glamour and outrageousness to finish off a memorable weekend. What one show will give me the most bang for the buck?

Is Jubilee still playing at Bally's? I think it is or was one of the last of the huge extravaganza shows with various acts and tons of scenery and costumes -- true old Las Vegas.

I am going to LV for the first time in May. In looking at tickets for Mamma Mia, there are seats available in the front center row of the mezzanine. There are also seats in Row AA, which is the first row in the center floor section. My husband thinks the first row up front would be best. Is this too close to sit?? It's been ages since I have been to a show so I can only guess. Any help would be great! Thanks

Go see the new Bette Midler show!

Love...this is not a Cirque show you can catch outside Vegas.

I saw Le Reve, a Cirque type of show at the Wynn. The theater is fabulous and the show is based on swimming, diving and other acrobatic feats. I thought the Cirque show I saw in Boston under a tent was not nearly as good.

I'm curious if anyone else actually read the original poster's post? I think he's looking for the big, old fashioned Las Vegas show -- showgirls in tall headresses parading down staircases, acts, kick lines, huge staging. I mentioned Jubilee, but not sure if it's still playing. What about the Lido or other such shows? I realize people are trying to be helpful, but unless I'm mistaken most of these suggestions are exactly what the poster ISN'T looking for. No?

Jubilee is still playing at Bally's. Check the Harrah's/Bally's website. There is also a behind the scenes tour of the workings of the Jubilee show.

Folies Bergere is also still playing at the Tropicana. La Cage at the Riviera.
