May 10 Mega Bubble Show Provides Las Vegas With Visual Excitement
Making a show stand out in Las Vegas is always a a tough thing seeing as there's many entertaining and interesting ones to choose from. One of the more unique shows to come along is the Mega Bubble Show currently being shown in the Steve Wyrick Theater inside the Miracle Mile shops surrounding the Planet Hollywood resort.
As recently noted by the Las Vegas Shows Reviews blog: A family-friendly show claiming to be "unbubblievable" and guaranteeing show-goers will be "bubble-azed", children and parents alike will delight to the playful, wholesome simplicity of the performance. A single performer, identified only as the foreign-born and heavily accented Jaro, creates bubbles and bubble constructions, large and small. Utilizing various apperati including tubes, wands and even his own hands, Jaro blows and builds unique bubbly designs. Employing minimal stage decor, Jaro lets the bubbles speak (or act) for themselves. As the show progresses, the "tricks" grow more elaborate and more impressive. When a smoke-filled bubble pops, the gracefully vanishing cloud inspires plenty of "oohs" and "aahs." Children called up to the stage are encapsulated inside massive bubbles, surely as much fun to experience as it is to watch. Mega Bubble Show is somewhat dependent on the cuteness of the young audience participants, but this presents a challenge unto itself. Younger kids in the audience, ranging from three to nine or ten years of age, are eager to volunteer for on-stage participation, but once that spotlight hits them, they’re rendered silent and noticeably stage-shy. Jaro’s sensitivity, humor and gentle rapport with children help lighten the inevitable slowdown. The icing on the bubble is that each pint-sized participant is bestowed with a souvenir bubble making kit.
As one can predict, bubbles can sometimes be uncooperative and unpredictable. Sometimes the tricks don't quite come off as planned. But that's all part of the spontaneity of the show and it doesn't detract from the flow. A good amount of the show is depented on lighting effects and music that matches the theme of the particular bubble trick. It all adds to the entire presentation and also makes each show unique. One of the best parts of the show is the finale, creating a shower of literally millions of bubbles accompanied by a spectacular laser show. One note though, at many points in the show bubbles are sent out over the audience so be prepared to perhaps dress down or just know you'll leave a little wetter than you arrived! It really does add to the 3-dimensional aspects of the presentation and makes the crowd feel a part of the show as opposed to just being spectators. Mega Bubble is a fantastic show to bring the kids to and also would be a great way to spend an afternoon away from the hustle and bustle of the Strip. Who ever thought bubbles could be so exciting!

May 06 Folies Bergere Showgirls Entertain The Las Vegas StripOne of the great traditions of Las Vegas is the fabulous entertainment. One of the longest running shows is the Folies Bergere. It's been at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino for many years.
As recently noted by the Las Vegas Shows Reviews blog: Perhaps the fact that Folies has been in Vegas since the time of the Rat Pack is what gives it that timeless feeling. Folies Bergere has been a staple at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino for nearly 50 years. The latest version of which chronicles American history as well as the history of the showgirl. Folies is a whirlwind through time and space with gorgeous women and the most pristine of costumes. The dance numbers and intertwined comedy personify the fad that swept the nation in the early 1900’s - Vaudeville. While Vaudeville was becoming an American classic in the 1920’s and 30’s, the Folies had been running in France since 1869 and did not have its first nude showgirl until 1918. Folies Bergere gained its first exposure in the United States on Christmas Eve, 1959, at the Tropicana’s Fountain Theater. In 1975, the show moved into the new, better equipped, Tiffany Theater and has remained there ever since. Also, in 1975, the reigns of the Folies Bergere were handed over to Jerry Jackson, who is still the creative mind behind the show. Most notably, Jerry designed the 100th Anniversary show in Paris in 1966. No other Vegas show opens with a topless rendition of ‘NSYNC’s “Dirty Pop”, but this is not just another Las Vegas show. True, the opening act does tastefully depict scantily clad women thrusting their agile bodies about the stage, but there is so much more offered. A gorgeous prima ballerina graces the stage and hypnotizes the crowd with her beauty and elegance; flowing costumes that, if one sits close enough, really show the girls are having fun; one priceless stage comedian that gives himself a medal every time he completes a trick injury free.
Folies, like other shows of it's kind, isn't complete without it's Can-Can. It's almost a routine upon it's self when each performer takes the stage. There's such a feast for the senses that you almost can't take it all in in one sitting! Like all good things, however, the show must end. But not before one's been sent back to another time where you can catch a glimpse of what France, and Vegas once was. Literally thousands have enjoyed the show over the years. Even after all this time, it's still running strong and it's quite evident why Folies has enjoyed it's longevity. Just sit back & lose yourself and re-live a time that once was.

"It's a steep drop-off at either end of the runway," Ernst said. "I wouldn't put myself, my family or my friends in that kind of danger." Wynn spokeswoman Jennifer Dunne didn't return messages seeking comment. We personally like Steve Wynn and this event happened 13 years ago. It is a non-story. But... this is why we are bringing it up: I've lived in Las Vegas 15 years now, most of it under one direct flight path or another. It just so happens that McCarran Las Vegas airport is at the south end of The Strip and I've enjoyed living within a reasonably close distance to our tourism area to better cover visitor-related news. I also enjoy the quick commute to the airport when I fly. Airports are the backbone of our economy. Not just the big ones, but smaller airports that move businessmen around the country. Businessmen like Steve Wynn who employ tens upon tens of thousands of people. Plenty of places to live that are far away from aircraft noise even in Southern California. The lady quoted in the article must not mind it that much. She's still there 13 years later! PS We've worked with Jennifer Dunne and she's a hard-working PR person. She was probably busy getting Wynn's business done instead of commenting on an ancient lawsuit.
