    Le Reve at Wynncore or O at Bellagio are really cool/weird. Ka is supposed to be more tribal and energetic and Mysterè is freaky weird full on Cirque. Zumanity is more fun and has more dance/burlesque and less acrobatics. Love is Beatles/Cirque. X Burlesque is ok. Lots of comedy. What are you into?

    Ka was pretty badass. Have also seen Jabbawockees and Absinthe which are also both awesome.

    Absinthe is a good time. Good mix of good looking women, comedy, acrobatics. All this is happening on a stage that is seriously 15 feet in diameter. Not a bad seat in the tent.

    I've seen Ka and Love, enjoyed both a lot. Many hot chicks attend these shows before they go out to the clubs as well.

    Absinthe sounds very cool.

    I was at Marquee Dayclub when he was there on the 6th, he spent about another 90k. They would walk out 10 bottles of champagne and spray them all out, one round after another.

    Some SouthEast Asian guy that goes by Prince Mickey.

    All the major nightclubs pool their tips, the girls walked with around 5k each that night if I remember correctly though.

    On a side note, there is another bottle client that goes by "The Sheik", that makes that guy look poor.

    It's amazing how expensive it is to get out to Vegas right now. I've flown out there the last 3 years on Delta and never paid over $400 round trip. Now it's $700+.

    I like checking out new hotels, so that swayed me to mirage. It seems to be a little less party and a little more high end.

    Well it's the hub for Delta if I'm not mistaken. I don't have the numbers but I'd be willing to bet more Delta flights are delayed in Atlanta per day than any other airline/city combo, or at least be top 5. Just because you are a fortunate traveler, doesn't mean others are.

    Atlanta is the busiest airport in the world; even if true, this would likely be attributable to statistics. Atlanta is actually 8th best amongst the 29 major airports in on-time arrivals.

    Well I'm talking specifically Delta. I'm sure that makes some sort of difference based soley on volume of planes.

    Why would Delta have a disproportionately bad on time arrival rate at Atlanta in comparison with the 2 other airlines that land there? I fly Delta a ton and have never had a real problem there; I know there isn't a lot of value to anecdotal evidence, but if I did run into trouble, I'd rather be at an airport where my airline was launching planes every 30 seconds than at a less busy one.
