Vegas and beyond

As I mentioned earlier... I stayed at the medieval themed hotel called Excalibur which has a signature show... the Tournament of Kings which is basically a jousting (knight tournament) show as part of a medieval dinning experience. So while you are eating with your bare hands, drinking lots of beer and wine you see some skilled sword and axe fights. Really impressive.

To get everybody into tournament mood they are separating the arena in different kingdoms... my king was Hungary and to make it short he sucked. But still a great show though :-)

The next show I attended was Cirque du Soleil's 'Ka' which should be well known all around the globe by now. It is interesting to see how popular those artists are as every major casino seem to have their own Cirque du Soleil show these days.

But after watching this show it is easy to understand why... each of those stunds would be spectacular taken by itself... but having so many people on the stage doing breathtaking things at the same time combined with a simple enough story and fantastic costumes... that makes it astonishing.

So all together a great trip to Vegas... did I mention that I also won $10 gambling? Can you ask for more? ;-)
