VIVA LAS VEGAS, VIVA CITY CENTER AND VIVA ELVIS!

















The biggest and most talked about building project in the world recently opened to great reviews. Las Vegas City Center is now open for business. While the property is beautiful and very impressive, it really has a bit of an airport feel. It is really modern and very big, but it is also very well done. They didn't miss any detail in building this place! The main hotel tower, ARIA hosts the properties only casino, but it took about 2 hours to walk through the property and I still need to go back a few times to take it all in!

The new Cirque show "VIVA ELVIS" is a great and exciting addition to Las Vegas and is the 7th Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas. Although Viva Elvis isn't my favorite Cirque show on the strip, it is certainly a fun and exciting trip through the life of the King of Rock and Roll. The show takes you on a journey from Elvis as a child, his movie career, his marriage to Priscilla, and on to Las Vegas. A couple of the songs are a little bit of a snoozefest, but the show is still in the works. Hopefully they will make those changes!

As a lover of shows, I have seen all 7 of the Cirque shows on the strip and I thought I would give you a ranking of my favorite, from best to worst. . .for what it's worth. . .

1. LOVE
2. ZUMANITY
