Zumanity – The Darker Side of Cirque Du Soleil



If you want to see an amazing artistic show but want something with a bit of a naughty edge to it, Zumanity may be the show for you.  Located in the New York, New York Hotel and Casino on the south end of The Strip, across from The MGM Grand.

The music, dance and acrobatics are exactly the quality you’ve come to expect from Cirque.  The music has got some groove to it with strong funk beats backing a very powerful band that plays on a catwalk above the stage.  The show has everything from aerialists to cage fights all overseen by masters that make sure their prey do what they are told.  Intermingled with the show are several comedy sketches that I won’t spoil for you but add a great deal of levity to the atmosphere.


There is definitely a reason the show is for 18+.  Aside from suggestive sex and in your face provocative (but not actual sexual) acts, there actually is some nudity, so leave your inhibitions at the door, relax and enjoy a spectacular night at Zumanity!

Silent Loudness – The Blue Man Group, Las Vegas

There are so many things to see and do in Las Vegas, you could spend hours deciding what the best choices are to fit into your vacation schedule.  There are restaurants, shows, bars, concerts, clubs, rides, zip lines, pools, musical fountain shows, gardens, candy factories and more.  You want to do as much as you can but you also want to relax.  Seeing one of the many shows allows you to sit back and take a load off while someone else does all the work.

I’ve seen The Blue Man group twice since my move to Las Vegas a year ago.  Both times were at their new venue at The Luxor Hotel and Casino, located in the upstairs atrium near the walkway to Mandalay bay and all the restaurants and shops they have.  Just across the way are the Titanic Museum, the Bodies exhibit and the theater there Carrot Top and Fantasy perform.
The theater is cozy and you will have a great view no matter where you sit.  The first few rows have a splash zone and they will provide the needed gear.  The sound system is fantastic, providing a crystal clear and well mixed audio experience.  The seats are comfortable and allow you to settle in and 
enjoy the show.

I won’t give any spoilers but I will tell you that the Blue Men never say a word.  Their movements and expressions are enough to make you laugh and their musicality will draw you in with their unique instruments and rhythms.  Their backing band is made up of some of the best musicians Las Vegas has to offer and give a top notch performance in support of the Blue Men themselves.

If you are looking for a memorable experience that is just fun (and even a little educational), check them out and purchase your tickets at the link below.

Show tip #1:
If you are staying at the hotel, leave your stuff in the room save for your room key, tickets and wallet in case you want to make a purchase from the Blue Man Store, located right outside the theater.  You want to enjoy the show and not have to be distracted keeping track of anything but fun.
