I recently went to a trade show in Las Vegas. I am involved in the high-tech industry, you see, and so these things are unavoidable. I hate trade shows, but there was nothing that I could do about it. Nonetheless, I was pretty happy to be there. I figured that it would give me the opportunity to check out some shows in Las Vegas. I did not think that there would be many Las Vegas shows that interested me, however. We all know the stereotypes of Las Vegas – chorus girls, lounge singers, and Siegfried and Roy. None of these interested me that much, but I figured that I would check out the scene anyway. I am glad that I did not stay in my hotel room. Las Vegas has a lot to see!
The first night I was there, I went to a magic show in Las Vegas. I was not that interested in it, but some of my friends were going there, and I figured I would check it out. Anyway, it was at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. I had heard a lot about this place, and was interested in seeing it. It was supposed to be so spectacular and over-the-top that you had to check it out. Needless to say, it did not disappoint me.
The magic act did not end up being one of my favorite shows in Las Vegas, but it still was pretty good. I have seen a lot of magic shows in my life, and even know how to do a few magic tricks. I am pretty jaded because I can usually figure out what is going on. Nonetheless, this one had me completely baffled. The shows in Las Vegas have a higher quality then back home, and even the magicians manage to keep it fresh.
Nonetheless, there were many other shows in Las Vegas that I enjoyed much better. One of my favorite rock bands was actually coming through the area. I did not expect to see shows in Las Vegas featuring music that I liked. I assumed that it was beneath the dignity of todays musicians to come to Las Vegas if they were still fresh and real in other parts of the country. It turns out, however, that the shows in Las Vegas are every bit as good as back home. The only difference is that there are more of them.
